APPLICATIONS (Continued)

FINAL ASSEMBLY CONSTITUENCY BOUNDARIES

• Office of the District Magistrate & Subordinate offices

• Three tiers Structure of Panchayat Raj Institutions

• Municipal bodies

• Line Departments

DECISISON MAKERS (BANKURA)

• Incorrect resource allocation

• Slower decisions (time and cost overrun)

• Non optimal solutions

• Decisions not on objective parameters

• High cost of decision making

LIMITATIONS IN THE PRESENT DECISION MAKING PROCESS

• Making it individual neutral

• Better and faster decisions

• Decision based on objective parameters (situations: flood, drought)

• Outsourcing - not a solution

• Sustainability

THE NEED FOR INSTITUTIONALIZATION

• A centralized place where it can be shared

• Patient implementation (building up of knowledge base takes time)

• 73rd & 74th amendment – decision on transferred subjects by the Zilla Panchayat and Municipal bodies (linking up the committees with NRDMS database)

• Lower tiers or panchayats need not be taken up (higher cost without adequate benefit)

• Decisions at centralized level; data collection and implementation at local level

HOW TO ISTITUTIONALIZE ?

• Identification of business process (on a case to case basis) ; input – output matrix identification and implementation

• Quantification of benefits in monetary terms – not always possible

• Primarily a capacity building effort

• Cost of a model unit:a. Hardware : 2,62,000b. Software : 3,10,000c. Manpower : 2,88,000d. Site preparation : 50,000

• Total cost for (say) West Bengal: 1,72,90,000

COST BENEFIT

• A vision needed to tap its potential

• Updation of data

• Technology

• Integration with Panchayat decision making system

• Capacity building (a slow process)

• Local wisdom to be integrated
