ForewordLab to Land had its genesis in the deficiency
in the present system towards effective implementation of the Govt. programmers. More communication is felt necessary coupled
with efficient and responsive machinery both at PRIs and at the Govt. at different levels.
So 12th Plan shall address the issue as its thrust area with SIRDs taking the lead role.
Important issues of 11th Plan.Inclusiveness.Skill Dev Programme (Job less growth).
Vision SIRD will be a center of excellence in the
arena of Capacity Building of PRI and Govt functionaries as well as in the arena of empowerment of rural people.
MissionIt will aim at capacity building of PRI and
Govt functionaries as well as Rural Development workers of NGOs and CBOs through training and empower rural people through sustained communication. It will undertake research to enrich the process of training.
Objectives Undertaking training in different modes
suitable to the demand of trainees which include PRI functionaries at different levels , Govt. functionaries and rural development workers of NGOs, CBOs etc.
Preparation of study materials for training.Undertaking research on different issues of
rural governance and rural development mostly in action research mode and in lesser no on fundamental issues. Outcome of research would enrich the content and direction of training.
ObjectivesRedefining its role through taking part in IEC
activities.Empowering rural people through sustained
communications as above.Creating and nurturing change agents like
BNVsNetworking with different institutions
working in the same field. Providing lead role in bringing together all
rural appropriate technologies.
Organizational structurePresent structure may remain with addition
of experts in IEC, management of BNVs etc. ETCs should be strengthened with faculty
and support staff.Structure should remain horizontal to
encourage specialization and thereby professionalism.
TechnologyBoth traditional as well as modern
technologies shall be used depending on the demand of the situation.
Along with traditional method of training , use of IT technology in its different activities.
SATCOM technology for wider participation.
Human resourcesNumber of core faculty members should be
increased to seven at the least.Inclusion of IEC expert.Appointment of at least one Faculty at ETCs
if necessary on contractual basis along with support staff.
InfrastructureModernization of existing facilities-class
room, accommodation, computer lab, equipments etc. according to the demand for training.
Introduction of SATCOM facilities and strengthening of the facility if it exists.
Addition of recreational facilities.Setting up documentation unit.
Research and DevelopmentMore stress on action researches.Network with different institutions and
universities and other educational institutions for undertaking joint endeavours.
Engaging/ involving community in action researches.
CommunicationsAssuming the role to communicate the Govt.
programmes with the people in general poor in particular.
Drawing up a communication plan.Creation and involvement of volunteer who
will act as the communicating agents.Strengthening peoples’ institutions for acting
as a medium of communication,
Monitoring and evaluationStrict real time and periodical monitoring
on the basis of a simple format using modern technology.
Evaluation should be concurrent and at the end of project and carried out by independent agency.
Training module itself shall contain a simple pro forma for evaluation showing the thrust area.
MISShould be based on simple format.Should network with other stakeholders.Should be structured on the basis of
expected outcome.Should use IT technology. Useful soft wares
may be developed for the purpose.
Distance trainingDistance training is necessary for wider
participation.Should consider demand carefully.Use of modern technology.Impact of training should be assessed in a
regular manner for tuning it to the ground realities.
StrengthsVaries with SIRDs.Faculties.Infrastructure.Teamwork.Different facilities.
WeaknessFund .Mobility.Human resources at ETCs.Absence of autonomy.Quantity and quality of training not at
desired level.
External EnvironmentConstituted by social, political, economic and
cultural condition. Religion may appear as a factor.
Political conditions determine the environment largely. Absence of stability affects functioning seriously.
Socio economic factors are also determinant in this regard.
Stakeholders relationsIdentification of all the stakeholders.Finding out the nature of relations boosting
or affecting functioning of SIRD.Capacity building of all the stakeholders.Defining the roles of stakeholders.
LeadershipAnalyzing present status of leadership-
autocratic or democratic.Is it participatory (a team man).Encourage risk taking and accepting
challenge.Oriented towards undertaking studies for
deeper understanding.
Organizational design. Horizontal in structure.Director dependent.Present organizational design is not sufficient
to carry on its new role in ‘Communications’.
Knowledge and skillsStresses more on knowledge than on skills.Faculty development with modern
methodology of training was not given due importance.
Knowledge and skill elements are not properly identified.
Processes and proceduresStill traditional.Still more stress on precedence.Complex and Cumbersome. Needs to be
simple.
Key initiatives Cogent National Training Policy.State Training Policy.Setting up Training Institutes based on
the requirement of the states.Autonomy of the SIRDs.Training should be catered in demand
driven mode i.e, based on the needs of trainees.
Identification of the needs considering the outcome.
Key initiativesUse of modern technology in different
spheres.Communicating people to make them partner
in development through initiatives like Lab to Land.
Capacity building of all stakeholders to make them partners in development.
Identifying the needs of trainees based on the outcome expected of them in relation to the programmes.
Key initiativesProcesses should be re-engineered to make
them simple and understandable. This will ensure transparency.
Infrastructure development should be based on requirement in terms of quantity and quality.
Scope for consultancy etc. for generation of own resources.
Key initiativesFees may be charged for special
training(vocational-skill Dev) conducted on the basis of demand.
Networking with different training institutes for pooling there resources.
More reliance on e-governance to make it more transparent and accessible.
Simple structure of MIS based on the requirements.
Implementation planMilestones: Road map shall be drawn up for
every activity to instill objectivity.National Policy and State Policy shall be
finalized with the participation of all stakeholders.
Considering requirement based on demographical and geographical character as well as needs of the community, training institutes should be set up. For the existing ones a relook may be given for further steps.
Implementation planOld practice of consolidating expertise
developed in different sectors should be encouraged and further sharpened.
Progress should be measured on the basis of measurable targets contained in the roadmap.
Time and cost shall be important measurable quantities for review.
Implementation planData flow should be ensured for quick
feedback and real time monitoring to avoid slippage.
Dedicated personnel should take care of data flow management.
Management of risks should consider the cost and benefit. Expected outcome at every activity (capacity building in particular) shall be the corner stone in management of risks,
EvaluationShould be held concurrent as well as at the end
of the project.By an independent agency On the basis of terms of reference agreed upon
between the parities.Evaluation of both the output and the outcome. Concurrent evaluation will enable restructuring
in case it veered off the target/goal.Evaluation may involve community/stakeholders
to understand benefit accrued to them.
DocumentationUse of different media for documentation.
Documentation should be concise and to the point.Should be made in the light of its future use .
Stress on documentation of processes for replication.
Documentation through films would be more attractive. Sense of ‘Cost and benefit’ will prevail.
