Subject:  Compilation of ‘Directory ofBlocks in India

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

 

          CAPART is an autonomous orgnization under the Ministry of Rural Development, established in 1986.  One of its main objectives is to promote voluntary action towards implementation of projects for the enhancement of rural prosperity and to act as a catalyst for development of technologies appropriate to the rural areas.  Over the years, CAPART has assisted a large number of NGOs for implementation of various projects related to rural development and its allied areas.  Apart from funding support and providing a platform for sharing knowledge and experience, the Council encourages innovative technologies by not only providing the funds required to develop them, but also by disseminating knowledge of these to the rural communitites requiring them.  More information about CAPART can be obtained from www.capart.nic.in

 

CAPART intends to compile a Directory comprising relevant information about all the administrative blocks in the country. This Directory is intended to benefit Government agencies, policy makers, aid giving agencies and all persons requiring such information for academic purposes.   Since no such reference material is at present available, it will be our endeavor to compile the information in the form of a Directory for use  as a reference tool.  It is expected to be of immense help to the Government Departments/funding agencies to implement development programmes in rural areas keeping in view the local requirements.  Consequently, a Proforma is placed below for providing the requisite information. The proforma is also available at CAPART website ( http://www.capart.nic.in/DoB.htm ).  The desired information may be sent by post/e-mail to the following address:- trivedi@caparthq.delhi.nic.in .
