#puttingdownthoughts About Community Based Organisations
#puttingdownthoughts My first job involved formation of some Community Based Organisations. The project, under which it was being done, stopped abruptly as the funding dried up. The concerned agencies stopped working, the staff, myself including, moved to some other organisations and the registered CBOs remained there blank, without any plan or activity. I remember the person from the office of the registrar of the co-operative societies was telling me once in his authoritative tone, “I am registering them only because they (applications) are coming along with a letter from a government department. If they don’t show any activity in the coming three years he was going to deregister them.” I was doing my job by bringing in my passion and with a strong belief that it was changing the life of the farmers in a great way. As I spent more time doing my job, I realised that that was not going to sustain for long. A few years later, the person from the registrar office was proved right.
