As public servants, it's important to prioritize providing services that the community needs the most. Khuli Kacheri, also known as Open Courthouse, is an excellent way to achieve this. It allows public servants to hear directly from the public and address their concerns. One of the significant benefits of Khuli Kacheri is that it gives a voice to those who are unable to visit public offices. By providing an opportunity for people to put forward their concerns, underlying issues are brought to the fore. This helps public servants to understand the community's needs better and work towards addressing them. Overall, Khuli Kacheri is an excellent initiative that promotes transparency and community engagement. As public servants, we must continue to prioritize the needs of our community and work towards creating a better future for all. #KhuliKacheri #OpenCourthouse #CommunityEngagement
