The partnership model of Government + Industry + NGO + Community

Since Independence, the Indian Government has on its own shared the responsibility of various Development programmes. It has created some basic infrastructure. The overwhelming problem of human index all-round development cannot be the sole responsibility of the Government. The industry now must take the lead to bring its expertise in Management skills, Financial discipline, Financial resource mobilisation and above all act as a leading partner in this co-operative venture for its own good. The community should be motivated enough to fend for itself and also to shift from “receiving” mode to “management” mode.

NGO operating in the area should join this co-operative movement and work as a catalytic agent at the grass-root level right from the planning stage to execution and later at the operational level, thus taking some of the burdens of the Government and Industry. NGOs should take a serious second look at their functioning and do some soul searching. Avenues to cooperate with the like-minded bodies and certainly to act as a proactive partner of this co-operative venture should not be missed at any cost. Too often to go alone is the policy, dictated by cynicism, self-righteousness and self-interest, inhibit them for this partnership role.

We are well intothe 21st century. For Industries, despite critical issues in functioning in Rural Environment in India, this is an ideal opportunity to participate in the all-round development of the surrounding community. This can only be achieved by the true partnership of Government, Industry, NGOs and the community. It is only then we can aim at taking part in the Global economy with sustainable growth all around in a true broader sense.

Let us all invest in the future.

Multiple Stake Holders with Accountable Care Principles

First Stake Holder

Either one Industry or a consortium of Industries can take up the role of providing the Finance for the entire Project of high quality robust Primary Care of the entire region, the cost of which is that of a Senior General Manager. It is not a Charitable activity but an “Enlightened Self-interest” necessity.

Second Stake Holder

The receiver of the Service has some responsibility. Atm-Nirbhar. It starts from an individual. Your health is your responsibility. He should pay for the services he and his family receive, even if subsidised, and maintain a sense of ownership and principles.

Third Stake Holder

The financier should engage a qualified professional organisation (such as an NGO) to manage the project, assume responsibility for medical negligence risks, and commit to accountable care with measurable results.
