The National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRDPR) and Mission Samriddhi have signed an MoU to work towards holistic human development in many areas with a key focus on the 100+ Panchayat clusters (500 gram Panchayats) Development Programme across 19 States in India. This is a 3-year programme which entails building leadership capacity at the Panchayat levels (smallest unit of administration) by applying Design Thinking and Structured Planning process of Development (GPDP) of around 37 parameters.
During this programme, we need to connect by preparing the minds of Panchayat functionaries through Samriddhi Yatras to ideal villages of India. We will also be employing the Unmukt programme involving appreciative enquiry and applying principles of boundary-less thinking. In this programme, Art of Living and FES are also participating. The programme will require many like-minded organisations to come together for an integrated development including innovative rural development technology companies to participate.
The attempt is to celebrate, connect and catalyse the existing energies and intellect to create new models of development.
