CSRE
has taken up a Research & Development Project on "GIS based
rural development planning at district/sub-district level",
sponsored by the Department of Land Resources, Ministry of
Rural Development, Government of India, New Delhi under its
Technology Development, Extension & Training (TDET) Scheme.
One
of the objectives of the project is to identify the problems,
if any, in the information collection, analysis and management,
and try to solve them in this project. It is planned to develop
a Web Portal/Decision Support System, called 'Gramya Vikas'
to overcome this information gap. A pre-requisite in this regard
is to carry out the NEEDS ASSESSMENT. This exercise is
to assess the requirement of the district planners/functionaries
in terms of type and nature of database, and thus a suitable
GIS/Web system, for use in their day-to-day decision making
on planning/ implementation/monitoring of rural development
programmes in their jurisdiction.
The
Project Investigating team is planning to understand the needs
through discussions, questionnaires and workshops/training
programmes. As a part of this exercise, CSRE, in collaboration
with the District Administration of Mahabubnagar District,
Andhra Pradesh, is Organizing a User Interaction Workshop Needs
Assessment for the Development of Rural-Informatics in Decision-making
at District/Sub-district Level on 11.11.2005 at Mahabubnagar.
