RWA Bhagidari Blog is now amongst the Top 50 Social Work Blogs WorldWide on the FeedSpot

We are pleased to inform that our RWA Bhagidari Blog has been added in the FeedSpot List of the Top 50 Social Work Blogs worldwide. This RWA Bhagidari blog was launched on the 25th of November 2009 and merely after 3 more months, it will complete 10 years while serving the RWA community. We will soon start sharing the sweet memories of these 10 years on the Blog.  



Launch of this blog was followed by the Launch of our RWA Bhagidari Website as well as the East Delhi RWAs Joint Front - Federation, which is now, mostly, the Talk of the Town, on various civic issues, concerning the residents. The very recent achievement of our Network was the Roll Back of the Fixed Charges of Electricity for which we had fought a battle with Delhi Government for 16 months.

Thanks to all of you for the support.

Best regards,

Bhagidari !

RWAs of #Delhi still remember @SheilaDikshit as the #Bhagidari Cell had empowered them to some extent.  Can we expect something similar & impartial from @ArvindKejriwal @msisodia too, as they had promised a lot before the last assembly elections in Delhi 4 years ago? http://www.rwabhagidari.com/RWAACT.htm

'Bhagidari' celebrates decade with a book



The "Bhagidari" (participation) project, launched a decade ago in the national capital to build an interactive platform between government and citizens, marked its special anniversary with the launch of a book.
"Building a Citizens' Partnership in Democratic Governance", the book launched on the occasion, encapsulates the theory, principles and processes of large-group dynamics. It was co-authored by George Koreth, advisor, Delhi Government, and Kiron Wadhera, consultant, Delhi Government.
The book was launched Friday by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, who admitted that at the time of the launch of the Bhagidari project, there was resistance from many political and bureaucratic bodies, who were initially threatened by having to share space with a citizens' group.
"It is you people who vote us, so you people have all the power. Bhagidari process came into being because we wanted the partnership. It took a lot of time to convince local MLAs to accept officers from this project," Dikshit said.
"Then we convinced them if they worked in coherence with them, it would be to their advantage. When there is progress in their area, people will be happy. Getting to be an MLA is not a one-time game, it has to be nurtured," she said.
The Bhagidari process involves participation from people, residents' welfare associations (RWA), market and trade organisations, industry associations, students' eco-clubs, electricity distribution companies, government departments like Municipal Corporations of Delhi (MCD), Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and civic agencies.
