PREFACE

To keep pace with the changing practices of City management globally, it was long felt by the
Indore municipal corporation that it ought to adopt some aspects of the work culture of private
corporations. This is especially with regard to the maintenance of quality standards.

The City development Plan of Indore has been prepared in accordance with the chartered
prescribed requirements for development plans under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban
renewal mission. The formulation of the City Development Plan was unique. This was largely
because it adopted a participatory process involving the elected and the administrative wings
of the Corporation, as well as citizens of varied interests, and other organisations concerned
with the city’s growth and development. It is one of the community oriented plans intended to
help guide public policy, investment and decisions through 2021 planning horizon. The CDP is
designed to make fuller use of the energy and potential sectors in service delivery and
management and in implementing the reform agenda. Accordingly it provides for the
participation of business, industry, civic groups and communities in local decision making.

In the context of the 74th Constitutional Amendment, which gives the urban local bodies more
freedom and power in executing their functions, the study has provided IMC invaluable inputs
regarding the intricacies of urban governance and finance. Today, when every urban local
body is striving to provide its citizens with the best of governance, only those like Indore figure
where decentralised efforts in improving the city’s living environment are clearly visible and are
above all other interests. It is this context that the Indore Municipal Corporation is trying to
define its presence in the city. Its strategy is to move from ‘tackling issues’ to ‘not allowing
issues to emerge’ by means of effective, integrated and phased plans.

With such a long-term goal to be fulfilled and delivered to its citizens by 2021, the City
Development planning process warranted a high level of public participation. The
overwhelming response to the workshop as well as the zone level and ward level consultative
meetings helped chalk out the purpose of the short-term strategic plan as ‘To foresee an
issueless 2021’.

The City Development Plan for Indore deals with a comprehensive, cohesive and concise
manner, all the important elements of governance in the form of themes: Urban Growth
Management/ Development Planning, Urban Basic Services and Infrastructure, Transportation
and Traffic Management, Housing and Slums, Urban Environment, Social Development, Urban
Governance and Management and Urban Finance and Management apart from Demographic
Trends, Economy Pattern, etc with a long term strategic vision.

It is the belief of IMC that this effort will bring in a corporate vision and a change that the
citizens of Indore will contribute to, and ultimately benefit from.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We put on record our special thanks to Smt. Uma Shashi Sharma, Mayor, Indore Municipal
Corporation, Shri Vivek Agarwal, District collector, Indore, Shri. P. Narahari, Municipal
Commissioner, Indore, Mr. Madhu Verma, Chairman Indore Development Authority, Indore
and Shri C. B. Singh, C.E.O. Indore Development Authority, Indore for their support and
suggestions throughout the preparation of the City Development Plan. They have been
instrumental in helping us complete and present this document well ahead of the financial year
2005-06, the starting year of the Plan Period.

This document is a synthesis of what has been done in the city of Indore over the past and
what is going to be done in the future. This process involved extensive gathering of data,
information and material from various other organisations and individuals apart from the
various departments of the IMC including their Zonal and Ward Offices, all of whom are the
planning partners of the city. While compiling this information itself is a time- consuming job,
co-ordinating every aspect of this process is the base for the final form of this document and
this has been possible only with the special efforts of all the departmental Heads of IMC. We
offer special thanks to all others who have remained in the background of this process.

This final report is the result of draft reports prepared earlier, the review of which was done by
each department of IMC. Several officials were involved in this process and they have
continuously monitored the progress with their timely reviews and updates. The feedback
received during this review process has been tremendously encouraging and our
acknowledgements are due to all the high-ranking officials of District Administration, IMC, IDA,
MPPWD , Mandi samiti and Other agencies. Inputs for Identification of various projects were
given by the various committees at various levels involving District level committee headed by
District Collector was a great help in the preparation of Plan. Accordingly, IMC as a Nodal
agency for the project and all the Parastatal Agencies like IDA, MPPWD, Mandi samiti, ICTS
Ltd, MPHB and Others departments need a special mention.

It is the involvement of the citizens of Indore through their participation in the Questionnaire
Survey that has produced a Development Vision for the City as well as a direction to this
emerging concept of the City Development Plan. The process started with the “City
Development Strategy” workshop conducted in December 2005 in Indore and was attended by
a large number of representatives from various citizens’ groups, industry and trade
organisations, NGOs, political parties, the elected and administrative wings of the Indore
Municipal Corporation and many others who are actively involved in the growth and
development of the city.

Lastly we put on record thanks to all those who have helped us directly or indirectly in
preparing this document.

CDP process that sets agenda for the
following CDP. Since the plan period
extends for a period of seven years, it is
essential that a critical review of the current
plan’s success and failures with regard to
the goals and objectives of the CDP as well
as with those of the long term strategic plan
is carried out at the end of the five year
plan period. Plan reviews will also be
carried out annually based on the extent of

The predominant cause of air pollution in

Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board
has undertaken monitoring of various
parameters that reflect the pollution levels.

It is observed the Maximum Concentration

The present changes in the political and

administrative reforms have helped IMC in
strengthening of the Functions, Finances
for the Functions and Functionaries to a
greater extent. This is reflected in the
impact of institutional development,
services and finances of IMC. Although
examined with an increasing trends the
activities under institutional development
still has not achieved the satisfactory
levels. The recent Financial and other
reforms of restructuring and reorganizing
suggest an overall shift in the traditional
mind set of the Government and the
Governed.
The decentralization initiatives envisaged in
the CAA in context to IMC can be
concluded as, though local self government
in Indore has deep regards to the
objectives laid under the agenda and few
reforms are taken in the direction they shall
be rated as average, though the state may
have higher index in comparison to the
others. There is a wide scope an
unmistakable opportunity for IMC to
fundamentally rethink on how they function

Chapter
Reforms &
15 Capacity Building

15.1 Agenda
The thrust of the JNNURM is to ensure improvement in Urban Governance and service
delivery so that ULBs becomes financially sound and sustainable for undertaking new
programs. The agenda of reforms specified in JNNURM is given in the following section . A
Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) between States /ULBs /Parastatal agencies and the
Government of India which is a prerequisite for accessing the Central assistance would spell
out specific milestones to be achieved for each item of reform.
It is envisaged in the JNNURM that all mandatory and optional reforms shall be completed
within the Mission period.

Initiatives taken by IMC

Indore with a population of 1.64 million in 2001 is the largest city of Madhya Pradesh ( M P )
state. Realizing that Indore's growing size required significantly greater expenditure on services
and amenities in 1999 the IMC began its initiative to strengthen its revenue base. In 1995-96 IMC
earned an income of only Rs. 44 crore. In response to the pressure on its finances and with a aim
to increase investment in infrastructure. IMC has undertaken sustained measures to strengthen
its revenue-base. The property tax, shop rent charge, trade licensing, budgeting, and accounting
systems were computerized and improved. The IMC also prepared an inventory of its existing
assets and designed strategies for their optimal use. The FMC introduced self-assessment of
property tax by citizens. To strengthen its revenue collection, the IMC reorganized the revenue
department separating Survey and Assessment. Billing and Collection, and vigilance functions,
introduced cash collection counters and decentralized many revenue operations to zonal offices.
The municipal corporation set up a master data bank and compared information available from
voters lists, the state electricity board, the shops and establishment department, and title
registration to identify assets non-assessed for property tax. illegal water connections, under-
assessment of property tax. and non-payment of rents for municipal assets.

As a result of these measures, total revenue increased from Rs 54 crore during 1997-98 to Rs.
186 crore during 2003-04. At the same time, revenue from the city's own sources (property tax,
water tax, trade and licenses etc.) increased from Rs. 18 crore to Rs 75 crore. Consequently,
the IMC has been able to double its expenditure on service provision.

Reforms undertaken by IMC till to date

15.2 GIS Application

The modern accrual-based double entry systems of accounting have already been
partially introduced in IMC and the system will be fully operational in the next financial
year.

completion of Narmada Phase-III project for water supply it is proposed to install meters at
every outlet.

There is already provision kept in the budget of IMC for basic services to Urban poor which
now will be supplemented to meet the requirement of JNNURM.

Some of the scheme for Slum rehabilitation is already underway in Indore under the VAMBAY
scheme of GoI wherein the security of tenure are being provided to the Slum dwellers and site
and services developed. The other reforms spelled out in JNNURM will also be taken up on
priority basis as they already are in the agenda of IMC in pursuit of its aim to provide the Slum
dwellers and urban poor, a sustainable and environmentally hygienic living conditions.

Timeline for Implementing the Urban Reform Agenda As per Annexure

15.3 Capacity Building

15.3.1 Direction to Planning

A city needs to start with a basic vision of itself, about the direction in which it would like to go.
What is it that the city would like to be known for? What are its strengths? How should it attract
quality people to its fold? These questions may yield different answers from the different places
for each place has its own culture, its own behavioral pattern and it is keeping that in mind any
strategy should be devised. Some places may find their potential in trade and commerce or
financial services and some may find it in education, health, science, technology and research,
others in tourism or cultural activities, a salubrious climate and natural beauty and yet some in
heavy industry. Cities need to align themselves along those strengths. And these strengths are
retained and advocated through appropriate Capacity Building programme.

MEHTA & ASSOCIATES INDORE 151

 INDORE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Under JNNURM

15.3.2 Indore Municipal Corporation

IMC, as entrusted body to carry out the National Urban Renewal Mission, needs to build on its
organizational capacity. Training and Capacity Building are functions along with the other
initiatives taken by the GoMP.

Indore Municipal Corporation has a range of functions related to the provision of the public
services under obligatory and discretionary functions as incorporated in the Madhya Pradesh
Municipal Corporation Act, 1956 (Refer chapter of Governance.). Like functioning and the
problems identified for any other ULB, IMC also has its functional hazards as following:

15.3.3 The Stumbling Blocks

To identify the prevalent trends and the scope of reforms, multi levels of authority at IMC were
interviewed. It was observed after the dialogue that not only the intervention was required in
the training and capacity building field but there also was a need to restructure and reengineer
the hierarchies and job responsibilities. Following were the encumbrances identified by the
various officials at IMC. There was unanimous view that Madhya Pradesh far ahead in
incorporating the reforms which off-shot from the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Act.
But there still is need of further strengthen the efforts that have been initiated.

Hindrances in smooth functioning of the department

Urban governance and functioning at IMC today is characterized by

• Fragmentation of responsibility,
• Incomplete devolution of functions and Funds to the elected bodies and ULBs,
• Multi-locality offices and no proper infrastructural provision for the IMC staff.
• Unwillingness to progress towards municipal autonomy,
• Adherence to outmoded methods
• Lack of appropriate HR Department and policy.
• Absence of suitable training policy and technical Upgradation programs.
• No knowledge imparting of the rules and regulation or refreshers.
• No structured induction or orientation program.

The concerns are further listed as following as per the feedback given by IMC employees,
Tab 15.2

Tab 15.2: Departmental Concerns

There is no holistic frame in which the activities of all the functional bodies are
converged for a common ultimate goal. The activities of the local bodies and the
various associate and special bodies overlap, which result in dissipation of scarce
resources and contradiction of action.
Large number of meetings, low participation, minimally effective decisions.

MEHTA & ASSOCIATES INDORE 152

 INDORE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Under JNNURM

Lack of formal training policy.

Lack of Personnel with appropriate background and aptitude
Inadequate skill sets of personnel already deployed
Lack of appropriate institutional framework to handle the programme
Coordination and rationalization of inter-institutional relationship has to be effected
for better result between the municipal authorities and Parastatal Bodies.

There are inconsistencies and inadequacies in the urban legal frame work e.g.
municipal laws, town and country planning law, district planning law, etc.

The powers, functions and authority given to the Mayors, Mayor-in-Council and the
local bodies as a whole are not adequately defined.

Planning capacity, human resource development, financial management are not

developed, as a result of which these are operating inefficient.
There is no rigid implementation mechanism to execute the devised programmes.
The city is not fully equipped in terms of human and physical resources to take up
Planning Actions in an integrated manner.
The city is more used to design and implement location-specific repair, maintenance
and improvement works, rather than city-wide integrated systems development
planning and execution.
Modernization and upgrading of systems and procedures in city management through
equipment, skill-enhancement and application, and updating of manuals and codes
(e.g. GIS and MIS) have not been carried out to meet the current and emerging
challenges Functional reorganization of and delegation of powers to the departments
in the city is necessary to enable them to perform better (e.g. a relevant HRD
programme).
Basic elements of improved financial management (e.g. asset register. Double -Entry
system in accounting, billing and collection, etc.) have to be initiated.

The annoyance and resistance is much stronger at the places where nominees were
not informed about the programs and their utility.

IMC lack in-house capacity to handle urban issues. Suitable training programs are
required to combat this.
No forum available to support professional development of urban managers in the
state.
There is no systematic approach to chalk out departmental reforms.

Experience shows that functional autonomy becomes a reality only when it is accompanied by
financial independence. State governments, therefore, need to strengthen the autonomous
functioning of the IMC like any other ULB through positive measures, and in particular, ensure
their financial self-reliance.

In a country that ranks among the highest in terms of scientific and technological talent, where
Information Technology and Business Management schools mushroom around every corner of
even the smallest towns and where even a librarian must have some specialized training of his

MEHTA & ASSOCIATES INDORE 153

 INDORE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Under JNNURM

field, there is no systematic education for Governance and Administration. The average
administrator is selected from a variety specialization and left to learn the complexities of public
Administration.

15.4 The Training Perspective

After years of neglect, the development of human resource at the ULB level has suddenly
become a matter of concern, not just for senior administrators but for policy-makers,
international donors and development agencies as well. Local governments need capacity-
building to be effective. Unless local governments are given unambiguous administrative, fiscal
and political devolution, no organization would be able to perform to expectations.

In the contemporary rapidly changing socio-political environment, the importance of training

needs no reiteration. The importance is gaining momentum due to rapidly changing economic,
political and developmental scenario. Training as a process enables individuals to cope with
the pace and magnitude of changes, take initiatives and provide leadership to developmental
activities and helps them to adapt themselves to the changing needs of the society. Training,
therefore, constitutes an integral part of all Human Resource Development efforts. Timely and
need based training with emphasis on ‘doing’ rather than ‘knowing’, increases productivity and
organizational effectiveness.

In the present scenario, training probably requires more serious attention than ever before
because functionaries working at the cutting edge level (elected members and functionaries)
are the ultimate provider of goods and services to the people. Thus, enhancing performance at
this level is of critical importance to ensure optimum utilization of scarce financial and material
resources. Since there is cost associated with training, any ill-directed training may be futile
and may lead to wastage of time and resources.

15.4.1 Training Effectiveness

The training as a concept has a hoary past. It is as old as Plato's Republic. But during last
decades due to changed environment of society and state, the concept and understanding of
training has undergone a tremendous change. Now the ULBs have changed their
characteristics and functions to a large extent. Therefore trainers and training institutions
catering to them must aim to train, keeping the changed priorities and perspectives in mind.
Besides this the secondary function or the obligatory duty is also to be carried out viz: to
influence the government departments / organizations to value the spirit and essence of the
same.

15.4.2 Training Problems and Present Situation

Following is the comprehensive update on the training problems and present situation:

Tab 15.3 Action Plan With Verifiable Indicators

Problems Present Situation

Horizontal and vertical information flow lacking;
Organizational structure and
Pyramidal structure of Authority;

Lack of Experience, Interest or Need felt but approach and action not taken and if taken it is
Pro-activity in Local economic too slow in the name of culpability to other Departmental
development Procedures;

15.4.3 Training for Civil Servants.

In the light of above, the emphasis of training is now placed in enabling civil servants to play a
role of catalytic agent for sustainable development. Their role has to be a “facilitator” rather
than a “provider". Therefore inclusion of methods and approach, which can tailor the attitude,
and behavior of civil servants in training activities is demand of the day.

The training-function will be created and fully integrated with organizations with responsibility
encompassing all activities aimed at improving performance and effectiveness. The training-
function would advice managements in formulation of on training priorities. The training-
managers of training function will be involved in the identification of training and development
needs, necessitated by the administrative reforms. They will also be involved in establishing
forward and backward linkages in the training process i.e. Pre and post-training issues. A
conducive training climate where self-development is encouraged needs to be thought of while
framing a training policy.

Training in the Indian context has been looked upon more as a cosmetic exercise. It is only
very recently that human resource development is beginning to be given its rightful place. The
promotion of systematic training in every government department is a mammoth task requiring
the total commitment of all those involved in the training function. We have to recognize that
training is not a mundane activity, which can carry on with utter disregard to the organizational
environment around it.

MEHTA & ASSOCIATES INDORE 155

 INDORE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Under JNNURM

Illust. 15.1 Simple Model of Training Process

With the exception of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, no other state has
formulated its own Reform and Training Policy. Consequently, the imperatives of these
changes have yet to percolate down among the multitude of departments and agencies at the
state level and much less to the regional or district levels. In almost all the states not even one
half of the departments/agencies have any continuing arrangements for administrative
improvements or provisions for training their employees.

Illust. 15.2 Elaborate Model of Training Process

15.4.4 Role of Voluntary Agencies in Training

The voluntary agencies and the other organizations of civic society are vigorously coming
forward to address some of the critical and important elements in administrative reform and
capacity building. However, it is recognized by the government that there is a need to create
an enabling environment so that their participation in the development process is further
enhanced.

The National Training Policy (Annexture: 1) provides the framework for the development of
the human resources of the government. The policy, inter-alias, emphasizes the need for

MEHTA & ASSOCIATES INDORE 156

 INDORE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Under JNNURM

training to be given to all employees so as to increase the professionalization of the civil

services at all levels.

High priority is attached by the government to the training and management development of
higher civil services by providing opportunities for the development of professional skills and
general management abilities across the departmental/organizational boundaries. The aim is
to create an adequate pool from which to draw personnel for the senior management levels of
Government.

Capacity building in urban institutions is one area which is much talked about but has been
relatively neglected in terms of action. The restructuring of the roles of the elected ULBs has to
initially come about in the form of partnerships with the parastatals which have been handling a
variety of services. The public service element needs to be made more professional and
accountable to the people. Adoption of modern accounting systems, improved practices of
budgeting and planning, effective use of wards committees and other means of peoples’
participation, and programme assistance should be put to use for improving urban governance
Capacity building is required for developing communication and inter-personal skills among the
people responsible for providing for the needs of the urban poor, for improving the level of
services and satisfaction of the beneficiaries, and for providing coordinated services from a
number of line agencies.

Good urban management without adequate capacity is a misconception

Training and development efforts are no longer viewed as peripheral to departmental goals.
The human resources are treated as assets rather than as costs and training is seen in the
government as an investment in future organizational capabilities. A two-pronged approach is
suggested for the same, Firstly, to build capacity for making the administration and the public
institutions more responsive and, secondly to empower the citizens to create sustained
pressure for change.

The capacity building is not seen in isolation. The capacity building efforts are to be
accompanied with administrative reforms. Administrative reforms efforts aim at:

(a) Improvement of delivery system; and

(b) Image building/correction of the public systems.

The overall goal of the Capacity Building in Public Administration Programme will contribute
significantly to the above objectives.

Capacity Building needs to focus on the entire stakeholder department to cover areas of policy
facilitation, system of restructuring, organization development, and training and knowledge
management. It is required for good government which will bring efficiency and effectiveness of
services and for “good governance” to deal with the empowering of more and more
stakeholders and bringing in transparency and accountability in the various systems of delivery
for city services.

15.5 Recommendation & Implementation Strategy

Before taking action on any recommended strategies there are certain issues that need to be
resolved. Unless the department has answers to these no programme undertaken to build the
capacities would be effective in principle.

MEHTA & ASSOCIATES INDORE 157

 INDORE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Under JNNURM

There is a need to conduct an extensive research programme to analyze the present setup.
The authority at the highest level needs to ask and review the following issues:

‰ Is the present organizational structure ready to implement any development or training

strategy?

‰ Are the roles and responsibilities made clear at all the levels of hierarchy, are the
deliverables clear to employees in order to carry out their functions effectively?

‰ Is there any relevant pre-requisite for technical post or any provision of acquiring the skill if
need be?

‰ Are Manuals and technical instruction guidelines in place and made available to relevant
people?

‰ Is there any vision, a long term plan for the department apart from the short term plan
made for the fiscal purpose?

‰ In the absence of a long term plan, how do the officials plan to achieve a holistic
implementation of the already floated developmental exercises?

‰ Are the Discretionary and Obligatory Duties of the Corporation clearly formulated and
defined?

‰ Has the Act been amended to suit the present setup and requirement?

‰ Can the department make provisions for a fixed tenure of the key officials so that the
initiatives taken at the particular level does not suffer?

Unless there are answers to these issues it is in principal not possible to deliver an effective
training and capacity building programme.

It is very strongly recommended to undertake an in-depth organizational research to study the

various vertical and horizontal levels of hierarchy. To chalk and design the roles and
responsibilities at each level to enable the smooth transition of power when need comes. It
would enable each employee to understand his/her role in clearer terms and carry out the
responsibilities efficiently.

It would be the second phase which would address the issue of training and capacity building.
For smooth functioning and efficient execution of the assigned tasks any department would like
to undertake training programmes in the following areas:

1. Technical Skills

2. Upgradation of existing skills

3. Knowledge of Reforms and Innovations

4. Behavioral Skills

5. Employee Development

MEHTA & ASSOCIATES INDORE 158

 INDORE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Under JNNURM

6. Success Stories and Best Practices

7. Miscellaneous

In past there has been an assortment of training programmes that has taken place for the
municipal personnel as follows:

Tab 15.4 List of Training Programs for Municipal Personnel

Training Module on ‘Land Management’.

Training Module on ‘Water Supply Management’.
Training Module on ‘Public health’.
Training Module on ‘Vital Statistics including Registration of Birth and Death’.
Training Module on ‘Environment Management’.
Training Module on ‘Solid Waste Management’.
Training Module on ‘Urban Planning and Development’.
Training Module on ‘Roads & Bridges Construction’.
Training Module on ‘Fire Services’.
Training Module on ‘Urban Poverty Alleviation’.
Training Module on ‘Urban Transportation’.
Training Module on ‘Community Participation’.

Training Module on ‘Provision of Urban Amenities and facilities such as Parks, Gardens, and
playgrounds’.

Training Module on ‘Slum Improvement and Upgradation’.

Training Module on ‘Municipal Finance and Resource Mobilization’.

These programmes can also be broadly classified into the above mentioned categories. But it
is apparent from this list that sufficient efforts have not been made and there is a need to make
more concerted efforts in the field of training and development to arrive at more sustainable
gains from it.

The training evaluation report of these programs further sums up to the fact that these training
have not achieved the desired results and require efforts to obtain significant and sustained
knowledge gain. As identified by most of the Corporation Employees, there are no clear
guidelines available for carrying out such programmes and there is no mechanism available to
nominate the employees for the same. These factors reiterate that fundamental need at IMC is
in-depth study of the Organizational Structure and ‘Capacity Mapping’ at all the levels.

15.6 Action Plan

Following are the steps that should be taken extensively at the department:

15.6.1 HR Initiatives

MEHTA & ASSOCIATES INDORE 159

 INDORE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Under JNNURM

• Prepare an organization chart based on personnel functions and assign appropriately

qualified personnel to identified posts.
• Establish an HR Department/agency
• Formulate an HR policy incorporating key HR elements (rewards, incentives, training
and career planning)
• Determine the areas of capacity building and training for the staff.

15.6.2 Formation of a FOCUS Group

A team of selected personnel would be constituted that will facilitate the process of training and
capacity building. As it is not possible for the department to implement the training strategy
without the professional help in the area and at the same time any outside agency would not
be able to do justice unless the programme is developed jointly by a professional along with an
internal department resource who has a detailed insight to the department.

15.6.3 Review of Training Needs

A comprehensive exercise with the selected personnel would be undertaken to assess the
training needs of the persons directly connected with the planning process. This stocktaking
will develop a training strategy in consultation with other states carrying the similar range of
activities hence facilitating the knowledge sharing and management.

The training strategy will develop profile of participants, training design and training modules.

15.6.4 Training Manual

A Training Manual is a set of guide lines, and instructions elaborating systems, procedures,
processes, and techniques required to be applied in planning, formulating, implementing, and
reviewing departmental training and development interventions by the organization. In
government departments also there is a need to develop training manual to provide direction
for formulating departmental training policy, implementation strategies, and programmes of
action.

15.6.5 Training plan

The need for a training plan is to meet the short-term/long-term requirements of an

organization for improving the performance of valuable human resources at all levels. To be
successful, training programmes should not be created in isolation, but structured in line with
goals and the development plans of the individual/ organization. The training and development
plan must be an integrated system of the HR development process and must be monitored
periodically to measure progress.

15.6.6 Workshop with Resource Persons

A team of resource persons will be constituted to develop resource and learning material for
the training modules

15.6.7 Training of Trainers

A critical mass of trainer will be developed at multi-levels. This group will in turn take care of
the training down the line.

15.6.8 Conducting Training

Depending on the number of trainers a series of training of trainers programme will be

conducted. The time frame of the same can be mutually decided by concerned personnel.

15.6.9 Periodic Review

A team of experts and selected beneficiaries will conduct a mid-term review.

15.6.10 Training Reinforcement & Continuity

Ideally, training should have reference to earlier programmes and build on them. Trainees
learn more when training is encapsulated and repeated with well-defined objectives concise
and yet comprehensive.

The other training and capacity building activities can be undertaken as per the Training
process flow given in the chart and the action plan as listed:

1.7 USION.

The development of human resource at the local level has seldom gone beyond nominating a
few officers for programmes being conducted by various training institutes and understandably
as it has not produced any tangible changes in the working of ULBs anywhere. This is because
although the trainers there may have the expertise and training material required, they lack in
insider’s perspective and seldom have a stake in the development of the organization as a
whole.

Training may help to upgrade skills and knowledge and sensitize people but it cannot build
capacities among organizational chaos. True change flows from true empowerment of the
worker and that comes from arming him with the information to take the right decisions.

A fundamental change is needed in finding solution as every level and to device the holistic
policies and strategies with a very clear emphasis on all-round Human Development.
Identifying the impediments, and devising the relevant strategies to combat them through
identifying the individual capacities and training & building upon them is the key answer in
place of delivering off the shelf ready made programs. As the person is empowered to his/her
full capacity the difference between the mere policy maker and the person who can deliver.

There is an acute need at IMC to focus on strategic capacity building initiatives that would
require an emphasis on assessing the skills and knowledge necessary to determine needs,
seek solutions, process information and change priorities, the emphasis of human resource
development should be much wider than individual training courses. This document seeks to
present the road map to achieve the all-round development, realistic and sustainable optimal
use of the resources to fulfill the State and Society expectations by executing their entrusted
jobs effectively. To achieve the sustained implementation of a programme to recruit, train,
motivate and develop a local work force to become more efficient, dedicated and effective
members of the public service.

Annexure - I
NATIONAL TRAINING POLICY
Preamble
Governments have very significant role to play in the development process and
promotion of appropriate conditions, which would lend dynamism to the national effort.
In a developing country like India both the Central Government and the State
Governments would need to ensure that the, administrative machinery is sensitive to
the dynamics of development and responsive to the socioeconomic aspirations of its
citizens. A conscious policy for the development of human resource available to the
Governments would require to be fostered for meeting the challenges of development -
social, economic and political. Training is one of the effective and tested tools for
performance enhancement, as well as upgradation of knowledge and skills of the
personnel. Organizational motivation and morale, as reflected in the attitudes and
administrative culture, are rendered relevant and sharply focused through effective
training programmes. Sensitivity to emerging political and social concerns, modernity in
thinking and re-orientation of administrative systems would require specifically focused
training programmes to enable their diffusion throughout the administrative structure.

Training Objective
Training in Government shall strive to achieve the following objectives: Keeping up-to-
date and enhancing professional knowledge and skills needed for better performance
of individuals and organizations; Promoting better understanding of professional
requirements as well as sensitization to professional, socioeconomic and political
environment in which work is done; and Bringing about right attitudinal orientation

Training Concerns
Social and political ambience is subject to constant change. The Government
machinery would have to be continuously attuned to the changing needs. Training
programmes for the Civil Services would, therefore, focus on:

1. Responsiveness: to the challenging democratic needs and expectations of the

citizens and organizational and technological developments.

2. Commitment: to democratic values and concept of partnership and participative

decision making.

3. Awareness: of technological, economic and social developments

4. Accountability: to ensure high performance in every professional field and cost

effective methods of delivery.

Training for All

Training would be imparted to all rungs of the Civil Services starting from the lowest
and cutting-edge to the highest in policy making.

For the purpose of appropriate training design, the Civil Services shall be divided into
the following three levels:

The lowest level functionaries, that is operative at the cutting edge, who are mostly
members of the Group 'D' services and the lower stages of Group 'C' services:

MEHTA & ASSOCIATES INDORE 187

 INDORE CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Under JNNURM

The supervisory levels and the middle management/administrative level; (they are
