Stakeholders’ meeting held to elicit ideas
The Election Commission of India has proposed to establish a Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) museum and a capacity building centre in Mysuru for which a consultative committee meeting was held in the city on Thursday. The rationale for choosing Mysuru was to tap its tourist crowd given the city’s reputation as a destination for all seasons. Sanjiv Kumar, Chief Electoral Officer, Karnataka, who explained the concept said that illiteracy levels being still high it was imperative to reach out to the masses and create greater public awareness that every vote counts so that the voter turnout was higher. This calls for dissemination of information and education for which the museum and capacity building centre has been proposed.More Related News
