Tenth Year Celebration of Samarthan

Samarthan organized its 10th anniversary on 8th and 9th December 2007. The decade long jeorney required us to pause for a while and look back upon what we have been able to achieve and where we stand as on date. It also requires us to look into the future and visualize what we have always dreamt about. The event was titled “MDGs in Madhya Pradesh and Role of Youth in Development”. The programme was inaugurated by Hon’ble Governor of Madhya Pradesh Shri Balram Jhakar.

The development targets set by the government is a daunting task. Without an active involvement of the citizens and citizens’ collectives, there is a possibility that we may slip the target date of 2015 for achieving various development parameters. The event focused on how the energy of youth in the state can be channelised to enable the us to achieve the targets set for development.

  • On the second day of the event, thematic discussions were held on the issues of
    Challenges and opportunities for civil society action in JNNRUM / IUDSSMT for effective Urban Governance.
  • Role of State Finance Commission in Decentralising Grasroots governance.
  • Changing development environment for voluntereesim and support services

The speakers responded to the issues and concerns raised by different civil society groups working in Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh, the representatives of the Panchayat Masangh and citizen leaders from both the states.
