The concept of HRD emphasizes the need to create a positive and healthy climate

• Organization to enable its employees to increase their work motivation, initiative commitment to the organization.

• It aims to create among employees a sense of pride in their work and derive achievement

from goal fulfillment

• Public systems such as the police and local administration have been especially effected by the high degree of social changes which have swept the country during the last decade.

• Industrial growth, population increases, higher standards of living combined with increasing social and political strife have important implications for public administration systems.

• They need to be flexible and respond quickly and effectively to changing environment, develop personnel and organizational capabilities, devise methods to anticipate and cope with change.

• In effect, public systems are called upon to play a more proactive and risk-taking role.

• Human resource practice aims at effective utilization of manpower for accomplishing the organization objectives.

• The vitality of the organization depends upon the quality of its human resource.

• Its effective utilization is a sine qua non of the rate of growth of any economy regardless of the structure and system of economy, and the governance.

• No society and no nation can be proud of its human resource unless there is a systematic and sustainable development of capacities of its people and convert the human resource into human capital

HRD IN PANCHAYATI

RAJ INSTITUTIONS

ORIGIN OF PANCHAYATI RAJ

• India is a predominantly rural and village based society.

• Despite rapid urbanization, about three-fourth of our population continue to live in the villages.

• The rural situation in the country is still plagued with social and economic problems.

• Several years of development efforts have not succeeded in eliminating age-old problems.

• Large sections of our small population still suffer from non-satisfaction of minimum needs in terms of health, nutrition, education and other subsistence facilities.

• They are vulnerable both to natural calamities like floods and droughts as well as to the exploitation of vested interests and money-lenders.

• Their level of economic productivity is low and they lack adequate delivery systems for employment and Industrialization.

THE SYSTEM:

• Panchayati Raj Institutions – the grass-roots units of self-government – have been proclaimed as the vehicles of socio-economic transformation in rural India.

• Effective and meaningful functioning of these bodies would depend on active involvement, contribution and participation of its citizens both male and female

Role of Human Resource Development in Panchayaths

• a. Panchayati Raj Institution should ensure development of human resources by providing weak and under privileged opportunities like education, training, basic health services necessary for their growth and development.

• b. Panchayati Raj Institutes should ensure that all the sections of the society particularly weaker section including women and girl child get adequate opportunity for developing human resource potential.

• c. Panchayats can play a major role in development of human resource for weaker section by disseminating information on special development programmes for them.

• d. Voluntary groups and local agencies should be encouraged by PRIs in effective implementation of human resource development programmes.

Panchayati Raj system has provided avenues for facilitating people’s participation at the grass-root level in the following ways:

a. Gram Sabha will provide an open forum for discussion on various village level development activities thereby ensuring peoples participation.

b. Representation of weaker sections in the decision making process.

c. Empowering rural women through an induction of 1/3 reservation in the Panchayati Raj bodies.

HRD IN PANCHAYATI RAJ INSTITUTIONS

The roles which panchayati raj was expected to fulfill:• Encourage participative decision making at the micro level• Look after day-to-day administration of local areas &

administering day-to-day facilities• Formulating micro level plans on basis of constraints of

development• Taking care of local physical infrastructure• Working for the awakening of people & making them

aware of their rights & plight

Reasons for absence of adequate attention to HRD in Panchayati raj:

• Leadership in hands of vested interests• Absence of trained & competent people

to carry out the tasks of administration• Absence of proper & adequate

organizational structures & institutional mechanisms to lend stability & continuity to the panchayati raj institutions

Major priorities for success of panchayati raj institutions form HRD point of view:

• Clarifying purposes & ensuring to reflect in relevant strategies

• Developing people as change agents & culture builders

• Strengthening panchayati raj & other institutions engaged in development

Contd…..

• Increasing administrative accountability through task & role clarity & appropriate monitoring & appraisal mechanisms

• Motivation of functionaries• Developing & implementing appropriate reward

systems

HRD IN VOLUNTARY

activities

HRD interventions which may be useful in voluntary organizations:
