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.
