Key issues in the system
Lack of clarity in Local functions:
overlaps between ULBs and
authorities
Inter-institutional conflicts:
HoDs shall coordinate on a daily basis
Managerial coordination Issues:
State, & Central Govt. parastatals, AirportAuthority of India, Western Railways, ASI, urban and rural local bodies and civil society
organizations make the task of city management highly complex and difficult
Conclusion
Spatial and functional fragmentation responsible for functional overlaps
Capacity Building is a way forward to achieve accountability and efficiency
Establish a knowledge bank, to store the expertise and experience gained
by the employees in implementation of the initiative
Efforts to create a sense of belongingness, and responsibility for their own
city
Awareness among people about what authority’s responsibility
People’s participation must be practiced.
Use of Vernacular language in all transactions and in computerization of
programme
