JOINED 6TH INTERNATIONAL CASE CONFERENCE 2018 ON 29TH DEC 2018 AS CHIEF GUEST

Dear All

Please find the message and suggestion made at the above cited event as:

REPORT ON

6^TH INTERNATIONAL CASE CONFERENCE 2018

held at ICBM – SBE, Hyderabad on 29^th December 2018.

LAKSHMI NARAYANA, N

National Adviser

ILDC.

          As a National Adviser of ILDC. Got the invitation to be the Chef Guest for the Inaugural Session of the above cited 6^th International Case Conference 2018, organized by ICBM-SBE at its Campus in Hyderabad on 29^th December 2018. ILDC has supported this event as a Networking Partner. 

          In the inauguration, after the opening remarks by Dr. S. Zarar, Director, ICBM-SBE, got the opportunity to deliver the message for the Delegates from various parts of India. Keeping the focus of Conference and ILDC, the speech delivered includes:

ü  Happy to be part of this International Conference as Mentor of Geo Rehabilitation Center and National Adviser of ILDC, New Delhi.

ü  Welcomed the researchers as the youth and strength and future for the development of the Nation with better sustainability and all your works should be need based and innovative with creation to provide better solutions to the people at all the levels.

ü  The process of development with the focus on Liberalization Privatization and Globalization (LPG) have got positive impact (for smaller group mostly investors) on one side and on the other side affected larger population as the outcome and development is not common over the region and people.

ü  The shift from People oriented Development (POD) expected to work on the lines of Poverty Alleviation (Garibhi Hatao - Roti, Kapada and Makhan - RKM) to Business oriented Development (BOD) has affected the People, Environment and finally Nation with scarcity for human critical needs. It is right to say that Garibhi Hatao has moved to Garibhonko Hatao (remove poor people).

ü  Nation has got sufficient resources to cater the needs of the people but not their greed. Due to the limitations of the Service Delivery Systems (SDSs) which are mostly dominated with Top Down Approaches (TDAs) and either not need based or mismatch to the local needs, the greed of a smaller group has affected the reach to the larger population both quantitatively and qualitatively.  

ü  The above three major stages have resulted for widening of gap between the Rich Vs Poor and Urban Vs Rural and some of the affected areas include:

o   Water,

o   Health,

o   Food,

o   Shelter,

o   Employment,

o   Protection and Security,

o   Exploitation of Natural Resources and poor Resettlement & Rehabilitation,

o   Environment – Global Warming & Climate Change,

o   Development – Hazards & Disasters, and

o   Associated areas as a cause and consequences….

  

ü  All such challenges and vulnerabilities including isolation & poor quality of life (QOL) have resulted for bias, violence, migration, crime, etc., are alarming to the stakeholders.

ü  The reality and need of the hour at this moment is to identify the resources, make assessment both quantitatively & qualitatively, and search for need based solutions.

ü  The target before all of us is to work for the development of the Nation as Developed, Empowered, Shine, or Powered Nation. 

ü  We do have several opportunities in the light of:

o   Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs) – which support for the development of all including Environment by way of: Water for All (Water Security); Food for All (Food Security); Health for All; Shelter for All; Education for All; Employment for All; and other needs of the people.

o   Community Based Initiatives (CBIs) and their empowerment as the strengthening of Panchayat System. 

o   Among the powerful tools in the hands of the people are Right to Education (RTE) and Right to Information (RTI) are the two key one.

o   Nation’s Vision 2020 – covering: Clean India, Digital India, Skill India, Make in India, and Start-ups India.

o   Availability of Resources from Industries, Corporate and others (establishments registered under Company Act) under the head of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

o   Working on the mode of Partnership between Government & Private (known as Public Private Partnership – PPP) and extending to Non-Governmental Organization (NGOs) as Government, Private and NGOs Partnership (GPNP). 

ü  I have done (more than 3 Decades) commendable work in several areas covering major parts of the Nation in general and particularly research through Case Study model and published around 147 papers covering both National & International Journals.

ü  Hope that this Conference will be covering some of the key areas covering: Health; Food; Water; Agriculture; Shelter; Infrastructural Development; Technologies (ICT); Livelihoods; Entrepreneurship; and other associated domains to support the People, Environment and Nation.     

ü  Case Study / Research should work with the model of: Design, Implementation, Monitoring & Evaluation (DIME) for improved Participation, Accountability, Responsibility, & Transparency (PART) so that the resources (product or services) can be delivered to the targeted groups both quantitatively & qualitatively with better Availability, Accessibility & Affordability (3As).  

ü  ILDC is conceptualized and developing people as Leaders in all the priority areas in general and particularly Education, & People covering both Nationally and Globally.  

ü  As a part of GRC and ILDC, I will be happy to stay for the day and learn & share from you all.     

          During the day 16 presentations were made by the Professionals, Researcher, Students (from Industry & Educational Institutes) and NGOs. All the presentations are very good and focused their research study on the mode of Case Study. The Delegates have got the opportunity to share and clarify their own studies and made it more participatory.

The time came for Valedictory and joined the team again as the Chief Guest. After the messages and remarks by Dr. S. Zarar, Director of ICBM-SBE, I have got the opportunity to deliver concluding message. The key points of this message or remarks includes:  

ü  The presentations made are relevant and focusing on the theme of the Conference. I am happy to listen and learn from you all. It is good opportunity for me to move forward with your carrier and journey of ILDC.

ü  The areas suggested for further study and research include:

o   NGO Management,

o   Social Marketing,

o   Social Auditing,

o   CSR and Impact,

o   Service Delivery Systems (SDSs) with Bottom Up Approaches (BUAs),

o   Government Schemes & Benefits – Benefits & Impact, 

o   Accessibility – Accessibility India Campaign (AIC),

o   Partnership - PPP to GPN with DIME, PART & 3As,

o   Business for Product and Services to All (3As),

o   Global Warming – Climate Change,

o   Senior Citizens as a Valued Human Resources,

o   Food Security,

o   Food Security,

o   Shelter to All,

o   Education for All,

o   Tourism,

o   Hospitality,

o   Transportation,

o   Consumers,

o   Disposal,

o   Social Media,

o   Resettlement & Rehabilitation,

o   Community readiness with Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) & others. 

ü Availability of resources with Government and Private (under the head of CSR) is not the problem and its reaching mechanisms to the people as a Service Delivery Systems (SDSs) should be need based with innovation & creativity by using the technologies (ICT).   

          At the end assured the Institutions, Teaching Faculty, Professionals, Researchers, Students and NGOs for extending need based support from GRC and ILDC.
