Genesis

There are compelling complementarities between the Government and Non-government sector - while NGOs have closer community and organisational basis and an ability to innovate; Government has the reach, scale and infrastructure for programme delivery over a large area. But there are serious doubts, and suspicions on both sides. Also systems of institutionalising the partnership do not exist in departments and government bodies. In this context, Roop Gramin was initiated as a result of the joint effort of the Government of Uttarakhand and a few leading voluntary agencies in 2007 to promote innovations in development and act as a interface between the government and the voluntary organizations. 

Roop Gramin began formal operations in 2007. While the broad goals and objectives of Roop Gramin were indicated in its Memorandum of Association (MoA); it was left to AR to chalk out its strategy and activities.


   Vision & Mission

"All round and large scale development requires a combination of capacities and efforts which cannot be provided by any single agency or system. To ensure that the benefits of development reach the poor in particular and the people in general it is necessary the government and NGOs pool their strengths and become partners"

Within this context Roop Gramin intends to ensure that there are an increased number of effective voluntary organisations working closely with marginalized communities in every district of Uttarakhand and that an enabling environment is developed within which the government and these organisations can form effective partnerships.
