4 Divisional Workshops with District Information Officers (DIOs)

A total of 4 Divisional Workshops with District Information Officers (DIOs) were held across 4 divisional venues, bringing together 157 participants from 61 districts. Organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and its affiliated departments—including the Department of Mass Communication and district-level Information Offices—the workshops focused on strengthening the dissemination of information regarding village court services to rural communities. During these sessions, participants were briefed on the roles, procedures, benefits, gender inclusiveness, and peaceful coexistence fostered by village courts, alongside a 30-minute session on service delivery and a 3-hour module exploring the media’s role in promoting village courts. The workshops successfully established actionable plans to leverage the Information Department’s outreach tools—such as loudspeaker announcements, mobile film shows, local newspapers, posters, and folk theatre—while enhancing field-level coordination and cooperation with DIOs for effective awareness campaigns at the union level.
