YR hosts Emerald Green project orientation, committee formation ceremony

THE Department of Rural Development, under the Ministry of Cooperatives and Rural Development, conducted an orientation session on the Mya Sein Yaung Project and formed the Village Project Com­mittee at the monastery in Nyaungbintha Village, Kawhmu Township, on 5 August.

 

Township Depart­ment Head U Tin Ko Latt explained the objectives and benefits of the Em­erald Green Project. He emphasized the impor­tance of safeguarding the project revolving fund, maintaining accurate financial records, and systematically managing the project through a vil­lage-level committee. He also encouraged villagers to elect committee mem­bers who are honest, im­partial, and committed to serving the community.

 

Project officials then explained the rules and regulations for commit­tee formation, the roles and responsibilities of committee members, the duties of villagers, and the procedures to be carried out under the project.

 

After the discussion, village elders and local communities elected a seven-member Village Project Committee by consensus to oversee the implementation of the Emerald Green project and support community development activities.

 

Under the 2026-2027 financial year, Nyaungbin­tha Village will receive a revolving fund of K30 mil­lion through the Emerald Green project. The fund will be provided as low-in­terest loans to support small-scale income-gen­erating activities, accord­ing to the Kawhmu Town­ship Department of Rural Development. — Ah Htwe (DRD)
