10
Training and Research

• Institutional Trainings- 90-100/ year.
• Decentralized Trainings-
• I.G.P.R.G.V.S. has successfully carried out 3
  full fledged campaigns for P.R.I.s in 2002, 2003
  2005
• In next 5 year 2 training campaign for all 1.25
  lacs P.R.I.s functionaries.Plans for P.R.I.
  campaigns drawn up till 2012
• Decentralized training campaign conducted for
  N.R.E.G.S., Watershed Development, S.G.S.Y.,
  B.R.G.F. European Commission-State Partnership
  Programme.

11
Impact

• Growth-
• Devolution of Powers to PRIs, and emphasis on
  schemes like N.R.E.G.S., B.R.G.F. etc likely to
  throw up fresh challenges for sustained Capacity
  Building of PRIs RD officials
• Output-
• Optimally trained P.R.I.s and officials leading
  to optimum benefits to the rural populace.

12
Lessons Learnt, Suggestions And Options For
Future

• Increased volume of Training can be achieved,
  best through Decentralized/ Cascade mode
• For cascade mode, a strong cadre of grassroot
  trainers has to be nurtured.
• Multi-mode training interventions need to be
  adopted.
• Skill Based trainings under SGSY, BRGF etc., need
  to be outsourced to specialist AGENCIES.

13
Scenario

• Emerging scenario
• Successive Governments shall continue to focus on
  Rural Development owing to large populations
  residing in rural areas, resulting in higher
  allocation of funds. This shall increase training
  needs manifold.
• Enforcement of 73rd amendment shall devolve
  higher power to P.R.I.s accentuating training
  needs.
• Demand for better delivery by rural populace
  shall place increasing demand for better trained
  officialdom, thereby calling for a greater role
  and quality of delivery of trainings by S.I.R.D.

14
Perspective

• The Government would like speedy implementation
  of the rural schemes with little time to spare
  officials for repeated trainings. Hence T.O.T.
  and cascades mode of training would need to be
  emphasized. Distance trainings through use of
  electronic media i.e. Satcoms, video
  conferencing, internet, web-cam usage may play a
  greater role.

15
Issues

• Can RD officials prepare Case Studies Success
  Stories implemented by them for duplication by
  others.
• Can a personnel policy be prepared which links
  quicker promotion for rural functionaries with
  their replicable successful rural development
  interventions in the state, region and nation.

16
Progress and approach on time-scale and fund
requirement

• Strengthening of on-going works
• 1. Satcom work to be completed.
• 2. Increase in Hostel facilities.
• 3. Computerization at all levels.
• 4. E.T.C.s to be provided greater funds for
  infrastructure improvement.
• 5. Increased faculty and research posts.
• New initiatives / requirements for next five
  years
• 1. Increased no. of E.T.C.s at all Divisional
  Headquarter
• 2. New hostel buildings
• 3. Residential facilities need to be created
• 4. All E.T.C.s to be strengthened and
  computerized.
• 5. Vehicles facilities at S.I.R.D.s need to be
  increased.

17
Critical inputs

• Funds
• Recommendations
• 100 funding for faculty members be increased to
  7 from 5 at present.
• Central assistance for recurring expenditure may
  be increased from 50 to 75 due to constraint of
  resources at State Govt. level.
• E.T.C.s need to be provided Rs. 10.00 lacs each
  year for infrastructure maintenance in addition
  to Rs. 15.00 lacs for recurring grants being
  provided presently.
• Amount of Non-recurring grant to S.I.R.D.s need
  to be increased.
• Training cost per trainee needs to be revisited
  and included.

18
Manpower

• INCREASE of 50 in present strength needed.
• Flexibility to engage Research fellowship/ Jr.
  Research fellowship with assistance from N.I.R.D.
  for meaningful research activities.

19
HRD and training

• HRD training continues to be a Neglected Area.
• Incentives need to be built up
• N.I.R.D. may take up lead for developing a
  package.

INTRODUCTION

• All institutions need to have a long term vision
  and plan for effective working, comprehensive
  development and growth of the Institution.
• The long term perspective plan not only sets a
  direction for the institute but also helps in
  planning mobilization of funds and resources.

22
OBJECTIVES

• The objective of the exercise of perspective plan
  is to optimize and operationalize trainings to be
  conducted in the next 5 years based on training
  needs assessment and to mobilize resources and
  funds so that a continuum of trainings leading to
  empowerment of PRI functionaries and officials
  for better governance, is maintained.

23
TRAINING Magnitude And Complexity Of The Task

• The training of PRIs and Rural Functionaries is a
  gigantic task as it involves 1.2 lacs PRI
  functionaries and training of around 60,000
  officials for different schemes

24
STRATEGY OF TRAINING

• Need to adopt a multi-pronged approach
• Around 1.2 lacs functionaries have to be
  trained. Multi pronged approach involving SIRDs,
  ETCs, NGOs, CBOs, other departmental training
  institutions and through SATCOM needs to be
  adopted.
• Strengthening the training infrastructure
• Besides strengthening SIRDs, the ETC
  infrastructure needs to be improved. ETCs need to
  be initially opened at Divisional level then at
  all District levels
• 29 subjects are to be devolved to PRIs. Hence
  infrastructure of other departments being brought
  under fold of Panchayati Raj can also be
  utilized.

25
STRATEGY OF TRAINING

• Compulsory induction training of development
  functionaries at all levels
• Induction Training for all functionaries at all
  levels.
• Refresher Trainings annually for critical
  employees and twice in 5 years for non-critical
  employees.
• Adoption of distance education mode to supplement
  and complement institutionalized trainings
• A SATCOM system is being established at SIRD
  Rajasthan for supplementing institutional
  trainings with distant education mode.

26
TNA

• The Institute follows Systematic Approach to
  Training (SAT) for conducting training courses.
  The following steps are involved in the SAT
  procedure
• Training Needs Assessment
• Designing of Training Modules based on TNA
  findings
• Preparation of Training Material
• Conducting Trainings
• Evaluation of Training
• Proposals regarding TOT and course material
  development are placed as Annexure-BC.

27
Faculty Development

• Need to create Core Faculty of professionals in
  following identified specialized areas-
• Professor Panchayati Raj Studies
• Professor Rural Development
• Professor Water Resources
• Professor Rural Technology Skill Development
• Professor HRD
• Associate Professor Computers MIS
• Faculty Development Scheme
• A systematic program for development of the
  faculty by periodic exposure and trainings in
  various aspects of Rural Development needs to be
  designed for each faculty

28
Training Proposals

• The Institute proposes to conduct various
  training programmes during the current financial
  year and in coming years, which may briefly be
  described as under
• The district level Chief Executive Officers of
  Zila Parishad will be trained at SIRD level with
  a one week programme covering all aspects of
  Rural Development Panchayati Raj every year so
  that they get fully equipped with the project
  cycle management, approaches to participatory
  rural development, decentralized governance,
  community driven development, success stories in
  rural development, and need for adopting an
  innovative approach in rural development
  management.
• Project Officers of various sectors placed at
  Zila Parishad level will be trained at SIRD by
  organizing 3-6 days training programmes. They
  will be responsible for providing trainings to
  the block/Gram Panchayat level functionaries.

29
Training Proposals

• Block Development Officers of Panchayat Samitis
  will be trained at SIRD level in a one week
  training programme covering all aspects of Rural
  Development Panchayati Raj every year.
• Block level Officers like Panchayat Extension
  Officers, Junior Engineers etc. and Gram
  Panchayat Functionaries like Gram Sevaks will be
  trained at ETC level.
• A team of trainers relating to different fields
  will be trained at SIRD level, who will in turn
  conduct district/block level trainings of various
  field functionaries and elected representatives.
• Gram Panchayat level functionaries specifically
  Sarpanchas, Ward Panchas, Watershed User Groups
  etc. will be trained at block level in a
  decentralized manner.

30
Training Proposals

• Community Mobilization Campaign
• To ensure effective functioning of Panchayati Raj
  Institutions, the key institution is Gram Sabha,
  which to be effective needs awareness among the
  rural community. If Gram Sabha becomes effective
  then the Panchayati Raj System will automatically
  become effective. Keeping in view this concept in
  mind, a detailed Community Mobilization Campaign
  is proposed for all Panchayats. The Total cost of
  the campaign is estimated at Rs.32.56 crores.

31
Training Proposals

• A proposal for conducting Training of Trainers
  (TOT) to develop resource persons is developed
  and enclosed at Annexure 'B'.
• It is also essential to develop training modules
  for conducting different types of trainings.
  Accordingly, a lump sum provision of Rs. 50.00
  lacs is proposed and enclosed at Annexure 'C'.
• It is proposed to conduct critical trainings
  every year so that field functionaries may remain
  aware with the latest developments in various RD
  programmes and be able to implement the same in
  the villages for sustained development.
  Similarly, non-critical trainings are proposed to
  be organized two times in 5 years.
