Sir/Madam,
The Institute is organizing a five-day Orientation Training on Conceptualising and Executing a
Project for Functionaries of Voluntary Organisations from 6-10 July, 2015 at its Headquarters in New
Delhi.
2.
The objectives of the Orientation Training would be to: enable the participants to develop a perspective
on the need and importance of a project; enhance the knowledge of the participants in conceptualizing and
executing a project; and develop skills in cost estimation and working out mechanisms for monitoring,
evaluation and sustainability of a project. The programme has been designed especially for those personnel of
voluntary organizations who are primarily involved in project formulation and management of programmes
relating to women and children. The training programme would have about 35-40 participants having the
minimum qualification of post-graduation as well as those who have not attended a similar programme in the
past or any programme organised by NIPCCD and its Regional Centres in the past two years. A copy of the
Programme Design giving information about objectives, participants, content and organizational/administrative
aspects of the Orientation Training along with Nomination Form is enclosed herewith.
3.
You are requested to kindly nominate a senior executive of your organization who fulfills the
eligibility criteria as mentioned in para 2 of the letter as well as who will attend all the sessions of the
Orientation Training. Various other requirements for participating in the Workshop have been mentioned in the
enclosed Programme Design, which you may like to go through minutely before filling up the Nomination Form and
sending it to NIPCCD.
4.
The Institute will provide travel grant to outstation participants from voluntary organizations equivalent to
AC III tier rail fare including reservation charges/bus fare by the shortest route to and from Delhi. Travel grant as
payable under the Institute’s rules would be calculated on the basis of rail fare for Mail/Express Trains and not
Rajdhani Express/Shatabdi Express/Duranto Express. Tatkal fares cannot be reimbursed and the fare in such
cases will be restricted to the normal fare in that category of accommodation. The Institute would arrange free
board and lodging of all outstation participants at the Hostel located at its campus.
5.
The filled in nomination form should be forwarded to the Institute latest by 12 June, 2015 for
formalization of nominations. Nominations will be confirmed on fulfilling the criteria set for participants in the
Orientation Training on ‘first-come-first serve’ basis. You may, however, advise your nominee not to proceed
to Delhi unless his/her participation is confirmed by the Institute. On confirmation of nomination by NIPCCD,
please ask your nominee to bring an ID Proof for confirmation along with letter of acceptance of nomination at the
time of registration.
Looking forward to your cooperation and early response.
Yours faithfully,
(Tejinder Kaur)

National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development
Orientation Training on Conceptualising and Executing a Project for
Functionaries of Voluntary Organisations
(6-10 July, 2015)
Programme Design
Voluntarism which is deep rooted in the history of India has been manifested mainly in the
form of charitable initiatives like establishment of schools, providing health care facilities, relief
measures at the time of natural calamities and disasters. However, in the current scenario voluntary
sector has been recognized as a major force in augmenting Government’s efforts to outreach
programmes to marginalized sections of society.
Though voluntarism finds its ethical foundation in compassion and charity, it has come a long
way to establish itself as a major force in the developmental arena. Voluntarism has undergone a
series of phenomenal changes and ideological variations. Toward the mid and late 1820s, many a
modern Indian elites became social reformers. Local middle class Hindus in Bengal, especially in
Kolkata, who studied in the missionary schools and were influenced by Western thought, began
similar efforts under the leadership of the social reformer Raja Ram Mohan Roy. Besides building
schools, colleges, dispensaries and hospitals, the national bourgeoisie was also concerned with
social reform, especially the abolition of child marriage and polygamy, the improvement of the social
status of women, the promotion of women’s education and remarriage of widows. Subsequently, this
form of voluntarism also spread to Western India.
From the 1870s, institutions such as the Brahmo Samaj, Arya Samaj, Ramakrishna Mission,
Satyabodhak Samaj and Indian National Social Conference began to emerge from these social
movements. The phenomenon of social reform movement was actually the culmination of a process
of assimilation, stimulated by the arrival of West Asian socio-political and socio-religious thoughts. In
the late 1800s, the English formed a number of organisations for the promotion of art, culture and
research etc. Typical examples include the Calcutta Philanthropical Society, Society for Promotion of
Industrial Arts, Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, etc. The voluntary movement received
the maximum impetus and incentive from Mahatma Gandhi, who believed that voluntary action was
the only path to India’s development. Gandhi’s concept of development included all aspects of life:
social, political, economic, cultural and spiritual. His notion of rural development was constructing
self-supporting, self-governing and self-reliant village communities where everyone’s needs were
satisfied and everyone lived in harmony and cooperation. Today, voluntary sector is perceived as an
unparallel sector wherein, along with conventional voluntarism, professionalism has also surfaced
with the emergence of developmental, social and human rights organisations.
Soon after independence, one witnessed presence of voluntary organisations which were
either Gandhian or Church-related or philanthropic and were mainly engaged in relief or
institutionalised programmes. The primary activities of the Gandhian organisations in this period
were development and empowerment whereas religion-based organisations were primarily engaged
in welfare and empowerment. Emergence of a large number of Gandhian organisations is, perhaps,
attributable to the initiative taken by the newly independent Indian state in promoting nonprofit
organisations or not-for-profit organisations (often called an NPO) in development work. During this
period, the Government took the initiative to form the Central Social Welfare Board (CSWB) in 1953
to promote and fund NPOs. Planners under the leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and voluntary
social worker Durgabai Deshmukh felt that social work should be left to the voluntary sector with the
state providing technical and financial support. The first twenty years of independence, till mid 60s,
may be termed as the phase of nation-building. Many in the stream of social reform based voluntary
action and the stream of constructive work joined together in the Government’s responsibilities and
tasks of nation-building. Some other social reform based voluntary action found their expression in
social work which continued with the perspective of providing help to the needy, based on a welfarist
approach. Another expression of social reform-based stream continued in programmes which
focused on relief, rehabilitation, welfare and charity (PRIA: 1991). This period was followed by
emergence of a new group of thinkers who introduced the concept of conscientisation so as to make
the weakest sections of the society active agents of their development and change. This was the
period when more focused work with landless labourers, tribals, small farmers, women, scheduled
castes, dalits, etc. also became the basis for the programme or work of voluntary organisations. Of
late, in India, as an outcome of many socio-political movements, varied nature of voluntary groups
surfaced to address socio-economic issues. In this process, the concept of community empowerment
came to occupy a dominant place in developmental arena. This gave rise to many voluntary
organisations, which engaged themselves in organising people.
The sector is currently responding to various social, economic and political challenges. The
voluntary organizations in this sector range from small groups of community based volunteers and
faith based organizations to regional and International organizations. While some of these
organizations employ full time staff and secure significant donor funding, others operate on low
budget, relying on volunteers and the efforts of the community or support of local leaders.
Organisations like these may identify important needs in their communities but have very limited
resources to address them. Frequently impeded by lack of funds, personnel and leadership, these
organizations, beyond any doubt, are successful in meeting some of their needs, but are always keen
to enhance their services or their scope in order to better serve the beneficiaries and achieve
sustainable results. However, the credibility and success of voluntary organizations depend on how
successfully or constructively their functionaries manage newer challenges of development.
The process of managing change is very important starting from the very conception of the
project idea to controlling consequences of managing problems that occur during the process.
Hence, voluntary sector, though perceived as unparallel in its mission and character because of its
uncompromising spirit of voluntarism and the unique capacity to motivate and outreach communities,
nowadays, also looks for professionalism in its functionaries so as to address the problems and
emerging challenges and professional requirements. It is, therefore, important that functionaries who
are responsible for designing the project possess requisite technical knowledge, professional skills
and expertise to perform these critical tasks. The organization thereby can manage projects by itself
and achieve its mission effectively.
Keeping the above in view, the Institute proposes to organize an Orientation Training on
Conceptualising and Executing a Project for Functionaries of Voluntary Organisations from 6-10 July,
2015.
