Coordinating Institute

As already indicated, IIT Delhi has been designated to be the Coordinating Institute (CI) for the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA). In this capacity, IIT Delhi has been taking initiative to convene various consultative workshops and meetings. It has established the UBA Cell consisting of an Advisory Committee, an Executive Committee and a Core Working Group consisting of about forty faculty members drawn from various departments and centres of the institute. The Centre for Rural Development & Technology (CRDT) as well as the RuTAG group of IIT Delhi are fully participating in the UBA activities. It has also identified a few rural clusters for direct intervention and is in the process of networking with various participating institutions and voluntary organizations.

The main task of the coordinating institute will be to facilitate mutual interaction, consultation, responsibility allocation and an active liaison among the mentoring institutions, the subject expert groups as well as the Ministry of HRD. It will also closely interact with the NSC in connection with the allocation of funds and other facilitating measures for effective and smooth running as well as the nation-wide proliferation of the UBA program. Needless to mention, this coordination responsibility will be carried out along with the core responsibility of direct cluster intervention and conducive ethos development within the Institute.
