A lot of such demands have come to the heads, panchayat samiti members and block officers. In view of this, the department has decided to develop the sports grounds with the funds allocated by the 15th Finance Commission. This plan will have to be approved by the Block Education Committee.

These schemes make playgrounds in rural areas
MNREGA or Sixth Finance Commission funds are often spent to build playgrounds in rural areas. In many districts of the state including Patna, playgrounds have been built with the amount of MNREGA scheme. Apart from this, parks have also been built at many places, but the district level committee selects and implements the scheme, but in the new system, panchayat representatives have been entrusted with the responsibility of building playgrounds in government schools in their area.
The Panchayati Raj Department has said that soil may be needed for the areas where the playground will be built. In such a situation, a small pond should be excavated on the government land around the village. Water harvesting work will also be done from the pond in the rural areas. On the other hand, the work of digging for making the pond should be given to the village or MNREGA workers. With this, they will also get employment in and around the village.
