Ward Level Youth Organization will be formed in order to foster the development activities of the Ward Committees by involving the youths. The youths will be made capable to take the responsibilities of the Ward Committees in future. Formation of youth organization was not possible in the last year due to business with the Ward Committees. It is expected that these activity will be started from 2005. |

Ward Committee:In last two elections, three women were elected as members of the Union Parishad in our working area. They could not perform significant role due to non-specification of their roles and responsibilities in the govt. manual. They have lack of skills as they are not trained. At present, Unions have very limited scope to take part in the decision making process both at family and society because of traditional culture. Shushilan thinks that it is possible to involve women in the mainstream of development through creation of additional opportunities for them. For this, 5 seats have been kept reserve in each Ward Committee. A Union Women Network has been formed by 45 women Members taken from 5 in each of the 9 wards. |

Generally clubs have been established centering rural play grounds. Most clubs are found inactive after initial 5 years. Besides, clubs organize sports and cultural festivals rather than taking part in other social development initiatives. As a result, no organization was found to stand besides general people in there well and woe. Union Parishads have been gradually involved in government politics, for that the process of building of a just and neutral society is found absent. |
