It is time we start our Action Plan without much ado\/delay, to complement & supplement the efforts of the local bodies\/development agencies\/govt with one RIDER-NO criticism pl even if you do not agree with them but make them see reason, pl. Therein lies your skill.<\/p>\n

As per my perception, considering the existing governance system & the mindsets of the various stakeholders I propose the following [simple steps] Action Plan for all those interested, to make a difference for the better, in their neighbourhoods\/colonies
\n1-Form a GROUP[name it].Have the contact details\/brief profile of the members<\/p>\n

1a-Identify a CORE GROUP.<\/p>\n

2-Convene a meeting of the said Group giving one week notice.<\/p>\n

3-If there is no seed money for expenditure-let you all contribute.Pl decide the amount for individual contribution with consensus<\/p>\n

4-In the meeting, unfold the ACTION PLAN & assign duties & get into action in a CONSTRUCTIVE & POSITIVE WAY.<\/p>\n

5-MONITOR the progress on sustainable basis.<\/p>\n

Though,there are many issues, but there is need to set priority<\/p>\n

To my mind ,these could be<\/p>\n

MEDIA MANAGEMENT-These days development news have taken a back seat! This needs to be brought in the driver`s seat. HOW-well, this is a challenge. Face it. <\/p>\n

MEDIA is a big resource,no doubt.<\/p>\n

Organise Panel Discussion[only on ACTION PLAN] in the media\/by the media.<\/p>\n

Organise EMPATHY- workshops with the concerned govt officials\/elected reps & the members of the civil society\/community.<\/p>\n

Areas [to start with in a focussed manner]<\/p>\n

Optimum utilisation of public funds<\/strong>
\nProper orientation of elected reps\/govt officials<\/strong>
\n
\n<\/strong>
\nTimely\/quality completion of well designed\/planned [for fixing priority, community to be consulted] participatory planning projects of the colony.<\/strong>
\nSafety\/congestion on roads.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel working, in a cohesive, committed & focussed manner, will also get the co operation & support of the local bodies\/authorities\/media<\/p>\n

JUST TRY DOING IT & GIVE THE FEED BACK.<\/p>\n
