The Congress had organized the three-day Udaipur Chintan Shivir on May 14, 15 and 16 and passed the resolution for the formation of a new election management department besides two others.

The party, after the Navchintan Shivir, in a statement said that three new departments of the party will be created at the national level.

It was said to form the Public Insight Department, responsible for gathering public feedback on different issues and evaluating policies in a scientific manner, to serve as an input to the party leadership.

The Congress also had said that a National Training Institute would be formed, to train the party leaders and the workers on the policies, ideology and vision of the party, policies of the government, and other burning issues. The training institute can start at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Development Studies located in Kerala.

The most promising one was the AICC Election Management Department, to ensure preparedness well in advance for every election in an effective manner to achieve desired results.
