For Immediate Release
Village Panchayat Chicalim · National Youth Parliament Goa 2026
Sarpanch Kamla Prasad Yadav has been awarded the Best Sarpanch Award at National Youth Parliament Goa 2026, placing Chicalim's governance story before a youth-focused national audience and recognising grassroots leadership that keeps gram sabha at the centre.
Significance of the Award
Youth parliament platforms test whether local leaders can engage young citizens in governance conversations simultaneously with policy and practice. The 2026 award validates a leadership style that connects village-level service with national youth discourse.
For students in Dabolim and Chicalim, the message is practical: panchayat leadership is a credible path of public impact, not a distant political headline.
Sarpanch Statement
Kamla Prasad Yadav stated that the award belongs to gram sabha members, panchayat staff, and citizens who participate honestly in development and welfare work. Youth engagement remains a priority across education welfare and community programmes.
