The PRI-CBO convergence project envisages a mutually beneficial relationship between the Panchayati Raj Institutions and the communities in the process of implementing poverty eradication programmes.
Panchayati Raj institutions came to existence in 1993 through the 73rd constitutional amendment with a mandate of addressing rural poverty and ensuring social justice.
