31. LIMITATIONS IN THE PRESENT DECISION MAKING PROCESS
Incorrect resource allocation
Slower decisions (time and cost overrun)
Non optimal solutions
Decisions not on objective parameters
High cost of decision making

32. THE NEED FOR INSTITUTIONALIZATION
Making it individual neutral
Better and faster decisions
Decision based on objective parameters
(situations: flood, drought)
Outsourcing - not a solution
Sustainability

33. HOW TO ISTITUTIONALIZE ?
A centralized place where it can be shared
Patient implementation (building up of knowledge base takes time)
73rd & 74th amendment – decision on transferred subjects by the Zilla Panchayat and Municipal bodies (linking up the committees with NRDMS database)
Lower tiers or panchayats need not be taken up
(higher cost without adequate benefit)
Decisions at centralized level; data collection and implementation at local level
Identification of business process
(on a case to case basis) ; input – output matrix identification and implementation

34. Quantification of benefits in monetary terms – not always possible
COST BENEFIT
Quantification of benefits in monetary terms – not always possible
Primarily a capacity building effort
Cost of a model unit:
a. Hardware : 2,62,000
b. Software : 3,10,000
c. Manpower : 2,88,000
d. Site preparation : 50,000
Total cost for (say) West Bengal: 1,72,90,000

35. A vision needed to tap its potential Updation of data Technology
CONCLUSION
A vision needed to tap its potential
Updation of data
Technology
Integration with Panchayat decision making system
Capacity building (a slow process)
Local wisdom to be integrated
