Details of Condition Survey Resolution from the Community: Earlier during field investigation of the data the community requested swapping of function of the two buildings i.e., the school as community center and community center as school. The request was made to the entire Community Asset Management (CAM) team during awareness and capacity building programme here at Bhubaneswar. Based on the request, HUDCO BBSR Office initiated a long process of swapping of functions of the two community buildings.

5. Though the process had been initiated to shift the functions of the two buildings. The community decided to withdraw its request and asked to maintain the status quo of the two buildings. The team conducting condition survey felt that community was not in a consensus over the issue. Thus the CAM team demanded a resolution in the regard from the community. A resolution from the community of Gyananagar settlement was submitted requesting to maintain the functional status of school and community hall as before. The community accorded their consent for repair of school building under the Community Asset Management programme. The resolution submitted and it was requested to commence the repair work immediately. The meeting was convened under Chairmanship of Community Management Group, Mr. Kelu Behra.
