Thakchara Gram Panchayat, functioning under Amarpur R.D. Block of Gomati District, is a shining example of women-led local governance.
Elected democratically in 2024, nine energetic women representatives from six wards have taken the responsibility of transforming Thakchara into a Model Women-Friendly Gram Panchayat.
Ensuring safety and security of women and girls has been a top priority.
A Safety Audit was conducted in

Thakchara and Gobinda Tilla Senior Basic Schools by an adolescent counsellor, with participation of 84 girl students, helping identify vulnerabilities and immediate needs.
Based on these findings, the Panchayat installed 8 CCTV cameras, 281 street lights in vulnerable areas, sanitary vending machines in two schools and the GP office, and ensured separate toilets in schools, the GP office, and the health centre.
A Baby Feeding Corner was also established at the Panchayat office to support working mothers.
To strengthen confidence and independence, 210 women received digital literacy training.
Assistive devices were provided to 13 specially-abled persons, and home delivery of ration and health check-ups is ensured for bedridden beneficiaries.
All girl children are registered at birth, and bank accounts have been ensured for 861 women.
Regular awareness campaigns on child marriage, women helpline, One Stop Centre, and gender-based sex selection are conducted during Gram Sabhas and VHND programs.
Weekly self-defense training is conducted in both SB schools.
Grievances are collected through weekly village walks and resolved within 7 days via the Amar Sarkar Portal.
Social media platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook ensure fast and transparent communication.
Thakchara Gram Panchayat aims to institutionalize safety audits, expand surveillance and lighting, strengthen digital and financial inclusion, promote continuous awareness, empower adolescent girls, and build a safe, inclusive, and resilient environment—where every woman lives with dignity and confidence.
