BARRIER FREE ENVIRONMENT WITH RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE - NIRD

Dear All

In continuation to the earlier postings made in respect of the DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE, the training progrmme held at NIRD has came to end on 20th Jan 2012. In the valedictory session, the reflections, feedback and other other interactions were quite interesting. Some of the highlights are as follows:

• It is the top priority to develop the rural infrastructure both physical and technological for attaining the rural development as well the nations development with better sustainability and quality.    
• Energy tops the list with emphasis on the non conventional including solar and wind. 
• Water and sanitation got the priority including water harvesting and watershed development & management.
•  Housing follows
• Heath both for the prevention and cure including the disability, HIV / AIDS etc.
• Education - is the most powerful empowerment tool,
• Employment and livelihood for economical empowerment,
• Environmental protection..
• Use of e- technologies &
• Finally all leads for the development of E-GOVERNANCE. 

The participants got the points and opportunities to carry forward for developing matching infrastructure at their respective PANCHAYAT with better accessibility which finally leads for INCLUSION of all at all levels with better participation, accountability and transparency (PAT).

Looking forward to have more such interactions with better connectivity for working towards RURAL DEVELOPMENT which is the backbone of our nation's development with better sustainability and quality.

All the best
