It is responsible for strengthening the pillars of grassroots democracy and grassroots governance in rural areas across the country, and it strives to commemorate the Iconic Week in such a way that it has national impact and long-term implications, as the Conferences will serve as a useful platform for interaction, sharing, and exchange of knowledge and ideas among all stakeholders in the process of localising Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through Panchayati Raj.

It will contribute to the creation of a movement that will further push all stakeholders to accelerate the pace at which the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are achieved and assist our country in meeting its SDG commitments (in rural India through Panchayats) on time. The Iconic Week programmes will emphasise the importance of Panchayats in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and raise awareness about the importance of community awareness and participation.
