Capacity Building for Poverty Reduction (CBPR)

Carrying forward the DOPT mandated incubating role for HIPA, a dedicated team has been constituted with Prof. J. George and Prof. Suresh Misra as Convener and Co-Convener. The team will document and analyse best practices amongst various ATIs (Administrative Training Institutes) in the country and particularly amongst ATIs in Bhopal, Chennai, Kolkata and Pune. The third Workshop following Gurgaon Workshop on 4th August, 2006 in the series of interaction was organized at RCVPN Academy of Administration and Management, Bhopal during 9-10 October 2006. A framework for generic replication of sector specific capacity building activities has been arrived.

This was followed by a detailed interaction with Master Trainers and Recognised Users (MT/RU) of the country at a Workshop in Anna Institute of Management, Chennai during 9-10 November 2006. Plenty of trainer material and ideas have been exchanged. Prof. George contributed towards a Trainer and Training Vision, 2020, during the Workshop. These materials in the form of printed documents and multi- media soft copies have since formed integral part of the Knowledge Centre created within HIPA Library. Suggestions are invited from readers in this regard.
