Advisory Committees in Union Territories are set up to provide local insights to the Central Government. These committees comprise local representatives, experts, and sometimes elected officials who offer recommendations on development, infrastructure, and policy matters specific to their region.
In simple language, these committees act as a bridge between the local population and central authorities. For instance, in UTs like Puducherry, advisory committees have contributed to improved public service delivery by suggesting region-specific reforms.
Their role is crucial in ensuring that the unique challenges of each UT are considered in national policymaking.
