Congress holds intensive training for new DCC Presidents as part of its Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan to strengthen grassroots organisation and outreach.

"The Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan is a critical mission to strengthen our organisation at the grassroots. - KC Venugopal"

New Delhi, Feb 10

The Indian National Congress on Tuesday reaffirmed its focus on organisational revival at the district level, conducting a productive one-day intensive training programme for newly appointed District Congress Committee Presidents from eight states as part of the ongoing Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan.

A total of 286 DCC Presidents participated in the session held at Indira Bhawan, where Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi provided key guidance and strategic insights.

Senior party leaders also joined to mentor the fresh appointees on strengthening the party's booth-to-district structure and enhancing grassroots outreach.

"The Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan is a critical mission to strengthen our organisation at the grassroots. So far, 5 phases have been completed across 14 states, with 531 DCC Presidents appointed. In the next phase, the process is underway in 218 districts across 6 more states," All India Congress Committee secretary general KC Venugopal wrote on his X handle.

Launched as a major drive to rebuild and energise the organisation from the ground up, Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan has already completed five phases across 14 states, resulting in the appointment of 531 DCC Presidents through a transparent, merit-based process involving extensive field reviews.

To ensure fairness and dedication, AICC observers - including Central Working Committee members, former PCC Presidents, MPs, and MLAs - have collectively spent days in on-ground assessments, consultations, and recommendations.

"The Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan is a critical mission to strengthen our organisation at the grassroots. So far, 5 phases have been completed across 14 states, with 531 DCC Presidents appointed. In the next phase, the process is underway in 218 districts across 6 more states. 284 AICC Observers, including CWC Members, former PCC Presidents, MPs, and MLAs, have cumulatively spent 2,604 days in the field, ensuring transparency, dedication, and organisational strengthening," he further wrote.

Following appointments, the party has successfully organised 10-day training camps for 172 DCCs across four states.

The next round of such comprehensive training is set to begin from February 21 in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Venugopal wrote further.

Finally some focus on organisation building! For too long it felt like the party was disconnected from workers. If they can truly empower district committees, it will make a big difference. All the best to the new presidents! 🙏

Spending 2600+ days on field assessments sounds impressive on paper. But will these new leaders get real autonomy and funds, or will Delhi still control everything? Old habits die hard in our political parties.

Training is essential, but what about a clear vision for the country? Grassroots strength is useless without a compelling narrative that connects with farmers, small traders, and the middle class. Hope that's part of the curriculum.

As an observer of Indian politics, rebuilding from the ground up is the only sustainable strategy for any party after electoral setbacks. The scale of this effort (531 districts) is noteworthy. Execution will be key.

Merit-based appointments? Hope it's true and not just for show. We need politicians who understand local issues, not just those with the right connections. Good luck to them in Telangana and Andhra! 🤞
