PNRD Assam GPC Post 2026 – Everything You Need to Know

The Gram Panchayat Coordinator is one of the most applied-for posts in this recruitment drive. The role sits at the intersection of government scheme implementation and grassroots administration — coordinating PMAY-G housing scheme activities at the panchayat level.

One thing worth noting here — GPC is a PMAY-G scheme post, which means your job revolves around coordinating the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Gramin housing scheme at the village panchayat level. Knowing this scheme in depth is not optional; it is the core of your domain knowledge section.
