What is the Role of PRAGATI?

It is these challenges that we have pledged to eliminate with those millions of Elected women Representatives.  We complete the cycle of 5 years to transform the face of Women Leadership in their journey in Local Governance. As a Resource Centre Building Innovative Strategies and practices to broaden their political education, vision and skills through Capacity Building, Advocacy & Lobbying, Trainings, Exposure, Networking etc with emphasis on exclusive Training for women Representatives are central to our endeavors.

Every five years 85% – of EWRs coming into Local Self Governance are first timers. It is this significant number of passionate women that we at PRAGATI focus to provide a support system to deliver Good Governance – the need of the hour of Rural, poverty ridden, Unreached, vulnerable India. Hence Capacity Building is Strategized and Phased in a Triple pronged Approach- Awareness, Initiation and leadership.

Recognizing the importance of Competent Trainings PRAGATI as a Resource Center has Developed Need –Based, Area-Specific Training Modules to cover gaps by broad based training needs assessment amongst the stake- holders. We have developed the Uttarakhand State Module for the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation and Multi-mode Training for the Elected Representatives through Distance Education (Indira Gandhi National Open University). We are emerging as a Training Institute establishing linkages beyond national boundaries. These trainings & exposure visits for the SAARC Region i.e. organisations from Bangladesh ,Nepal, Bhutan and Srilanka serve as a platform for participants to – learn, study, share experiences, gain an insight into issues of concern & emulate best practices in their respective countries.
