 Rapidly
growing activism in diverse areas added new
dimensions and responsibilities to the role played
by TDMS.
Professionalism has entered the non profit
sector and some deep introspection by TDMS led to
the belief that there was paucity of
professionalism in the organisation leading to underutilization
of the Samiti's full potential.
The
spirit of volunteerism is lacking in the present
generation and therefore it has become necessary
induct more professionals into the organisation to
ensure its survival and growth. It was also felt
that as a heritage organisation with decades of
involvement in the development sector,
documentation of its origin and experiences would
be a meaningful contribution to the history of
this sector.
The
objectives of the project are:
-
institutional
capacity building.
-
strengthening
the financial structure of the organisation.
-
induction
of professionals into the organisation.
-
documentation
of the organisation's history.
At
the end of the first phase of the project there
was a tangible improvement in the areas of annual
reporting, financial management and emergence of
concrete targets for the income generation sectors.
