Regarding the administrative and management structure ,the association feels that members should suggest there ideas. Generally a normative pattern is incorporated in organizational designs but here we being rooted in humanist values and democratic ethics we should have the most participatory design.......On these line i would like to propose a model here for discussion..... • We will have a national structure as board.....similar state bodies will be prepared for each state to administer state level functioning….Each board member will be heading a wing on specialized topic and will be accountable for the same. This is regardless of designation. • The district committee is proposed as decentralized body were in a district level committee will be formed with representation from each block. This committee will be the core part of our association……..We have seen the contextual nature of development issues and hence we need to incorporate it in our design. • City wise chapters will be formed • Any member can propose a special committee for special issue to be advocated and the respective state as well as national body will be responsible for further action on the issue. Please come up with suggestions on this so that we finalize on the structure soon……… We will have salaried positions for various projects in the beginning. After substantial fund availability a full time organization funded staff design will be introduced. Warm regards, Govind govinddhaske | ||

I would suggest that the national level members should be as a consulting team where they do not involve in the day to day process and there should be teams either at different levels or the issues we are going to deal with. but the question is some more deeper what are the issues we are dealing with?

The general body should be from multi discplines is my suggestion then we go to other structure. This national district city does not look good ANIL THARAYATH VARGHESE | ||

Noe we have to register our Association. Once registration is done we can formally enroll members and constitute the Governing Council, Branch Councils and General Body. kaustabh | ||

Keeping in mind the present strength of the members; what I think that we should ISSUE based teams. E.g Issue Gender- there could be 13 members representing different states or UTs. After that when the number of members will be increased, we can go for district level team. @ Anil 1) Could you please tell me why do you think that general body members can be from different streams??? 2) Why do you think that national level members should not be involved in day to day processes, if wish to? But I do agree with you that as social worker we don't discriminate between district and city. We can go for only district level teams later on.

I think that the issued based team will be well equipped to deal with the day to day affairs. and anyway we are putting a hierarchical structure. So the National members need not look into the day to day affairs ANIL THARAYATH VARGHESE | ||

The present establishment as national body is due to the legislature restrictions....in fact for functioning, i feel that we should have separate structure with involvement of national board members as heads of the intervention areas(like health poverty etc.)..the body will not be involved as body with some administrative authority rather their individual intervention areas will be represented at national level.....the structural arrangement will be innovative and not hierarchical......in fact i feel that every single village and the development functionaries of that village should be actually represented in the association...this is possible practically and i don't see any harm in aiming that....... we are in no way designing any hierarchical administrative structure rather we are planning to devise the most democratic and most decentralized inclusive administrative and management structure.........After the establishment as registered organization we are planning to prepare revolutionary constitution for the association and which will go as amendment for legal approval..this will be done in consultation with the members and we expect all members to participate in that process enthusiastically.......I think that resolves the contemporary doubts and apprehensions about future........ govinddhaske | ||
