RD&PR, J&K - Rural Development & Panchayati Raj.
One of the important steps to make Rural Development and Panchayat Raj a success is the creation of awareness among rural people and other stake holders. Special emphasis needs to be placed on raising awareness among the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj workers. It should aim at facilitating dissemination of right based provisions of the act to ensure that the workers know their right to demand wage employment and exercise their right by applying for such employment as per their need. Beyond raising awareness, interventions at interpersonal level need to be extended to ensure that individuals are converting their awareness into action. For this, Behaviour Change Communication activities need to be rolled out, at the grass root level.
