Dear All
In continuation, during this month, published the above cited paper in International Multidisciplinary E Journal and brief details includes:
ABSTRACT
Government has got sufficient resources to
cater the needs of its people but not their greed. The processes of Liberalization, Privatization
and Globalization though brought development on one side but on the other side
the benefits are confined to limited people and areas and thus widened the gap between
urban & rural and rich & poor. Continuation of such dominated
approaches affect the people with depression, bias, rivalry, crime,
vulnerabilities, marginalization, migration, hazards, disasters and their
unhealthy consequences. The realities on the ground reflects that Government do
have some limitations covering resources, working mechanism, service delivery
systems, monitoring, evaluation, impact, tracking and reporting in serving its own
people and communities. In the process of searching for better ways, Government
has invited Private to work on partnership basis known as Public Private
Partnership (PPP). Though it has brought some advantages mostly in major
projects and infrastructural developmental facilities. Still Government is
facing several challenges in major areas covering: Water, Health Care,
Sanitation, Food, Agriculture, Education, Employment, Waste Management, etc.,
which have contributed for Global Warming & Climate Change and are alarming
to the Stakeholders to look for better alternatives including third player who
can stay and work with people & community. Use of Social Media and development
of NGOs will support the Government in reaching its vision of New India tuning
to Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs). The opportunities and initiatives taken
up are innovative and creative in improving the development with better participation,
accountability, responsibility, transparency, visibility, marketing, value addition,
branding, and sustainability. The strategies, models and initiatives are
simple, flexible, scalable, replicable and sustainable.
