Training Manual
The Panchayati Raj Institutions are statutory bodies that representative of the local people who have elected them, through a well-defined democratic process and system. They have specific roles and responsibilities towards and are accountable to the local communities. The 11th Schedule of the Indian Constitution clearly defines the functions of the PRIs, mainly including developmental agendas like infrastructure, service provision, ecological and economic development, etc. In times of disasters, the need for the involvement of PRIs is very important. Not only would the planning, preparedness and mitigation measures be done with a ‘bottom-up’ approach, but also the impacts of disasters may be reduced through locally identified and planned actions. PRIs are not only the link between the community and the district, but also between the community and the local organizations working with those communities. Therefore, recognizing and defining the role of the PRIs in Disaster Risk Reduction is of paramount importance.

This module also explains to the participants, the ways in which community managed development may be converged with DRR and engages participants in identifying actions to be done by the PRIs for doing the same. One of the sessions is specially designed to explore the scope of Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDPs) to be used as a tool towards risk informed development planning.
