  7. Why Capacity Building of PRIs… • Enabling PRI representatives to upgrade their knowledge base and skills for effectively delivering their functions. • Enlightening key officials associated with the devolved functions to perform as technical advisors to the Panchayats. • Educating PRI Representatives and officials to exercise participatory decision making process for delivering their functions transparently • Enhancing grass root level democracy through enlightened elected representatives on local governance. • To carryout functions and assignments related to Local Self Governance.

  8. Challenges we encountered • 5 yearly elections with rotation in reservation. • Limited Locations (SIRD + 3 ETCs) and Reach. • Lack of standardized and uniform modules & manuals for both trainers & trainees. • Lack of adequate trainers for large scale training… • Lack of audiovisual and vernacular resource materials. • ETCs… poorly equipped for training. • Practicing of conventional training Methodology, content and design and packaging of training. • Hence training of limited PRI repr. + RD functionaries, hardly 10000 in a year. • Most of the PRIs even complete their 5 year terms without training.

  9. We aspire… • To Establish an efficient, effective and reliable training and capacity building system for the PRIs in Orissa. • To strategize and operationalise the State Action Plan on Capacity Building for all elected representatives of 3-tier PRIs in phased manner. • Strengthening the Panchayati Raj system for delivery of improved governance in Orissa through Capacity Building of the PRIs & RD functionaries. • Add significant value to the vision building initiative for Capacity Development of PRIs & RD functionaries in Orissa

  10. The Framework to Carry Forward PRI CB through training at large number

  11. Implementing multi-level, multi-location andmulti-Partnership mode for PRI-CB • All the training programmes of SIRD have been designed and strategized in such a manner that SIRD has institutional presence in 108 blocks across the state at present and planned to reach / cover all 314 blocks by October, 2010.  • SIRD, PR Department, GoO, is conducting the training programmes for 100,864 elected representatives at 80 locations by 76 District Partner NGOs & 2 Extension Training Centres, spread across 30 districts and Centum Learning Ltd (PPP Mode) in 12 districts of the state. • Developed standardized training modules, manuals and resource materials tailored for the training programs of PR and RD. • Utilizing the services of a pool of 432 well trained resource persons and 275 trained Govt, officials for capacity building of PRIs and functionaries in addition to PR and other line deptt officials. Contd….

  12. Implementing multi-level, multi-location andmulti-Partnership mode for PRI-CB • Developed and demonstrating 18 training films in Oriya language used as training AV resources. • Creating a cadre of state and district level trainers on the theme of MGNREGA and SGSY (Skill Development) for taking training at large number in a cascading manner. • More IT training infrastructure at District, Block and GP level for E-Panchayat and Model Panchayat Accounting Procedure. • The BlockResourcesCentres under MoPR and Rajiv Gandhi Sewa Kendra under MoRD blended for better presence and services • Web based Resource Repository, Newsletter, Annual Report are used for dissemination of knowledge

  15. We look forward to…. • To develop the capacities of all elected representatives and all functionaries of Panchayati Raj Institutions and associated agencies for decentralized participatory planning for sustainable development. • Basic Training for all and 100% coverage in certain core areas in a time bound manner with reference to NCBF • To develop standardized core content and approved by state PRD • Computer training (ICT) to all GP level functionaries in 3 years and one round of training to all PRIs (in 5 years) on participatory action plan, gender budgeting & social auditing with annual refresher courses. • Literacy training to elected PRIs with 6 months of election. • Special training of SC/ST women elected PRIs once in every 3 years. • Achieve a mile stone in delivering interactive orientations to the elected PRI representatives and functionaries on the nuances of governance and program implementation especially on MoRD and MoPR flagship programs at the block level • IEC materials should be developed in such a way that the reach is extended and have access to the common mass and primary stakeholder

It is the harbinger of new hope for the eradication of rural poverty and the promotion of rural prosperity.” Dr. Manmohan SinghPrime Minister of India November 22, 2006
