 |
The General Body, consisting of all the members, is the supreme forum. |
 |
Initiation of programmes, administration, management, supervision, and funds are
vested in an elected and representative Executive Committee comprising about 21
members including the President, Vice-President, Treasurer and General Secretary,
besides some invitees. |
 |
In addition, functional advisory committees in vital areas are constituted when
needed. |
 |
to facilitate interchange of ideas and experiences; |
 |
Besides, there is a ‘vidvatparishad’ (think tank) to advise on larger conceptual
and policy issues. |
 |
The General Secretary, assisted by an inter-disciplinary team of professionals and
a secretariat, implements the decisions and carries on day-to-day work. |
 |
Considering the size of, and diversities in, the country, autonomous multilevel
multipronged networks of voluntary agencies are being promoted for more effective
networking. AVARD would have active cooperation with these networks while maintaining
its direct link with grassroot voluntary agencies. |
|

Details about specific members can be obtained from AVARD. These members together
cover the entire gamut of rural development. |
 |
The General Body ordinarily meets once in two-three years. The Executive Committee
meets at least twice a year. Functional advisory committees and Vidvatparishad (Think
Tank) meet more frequently, when required. Besides, AVARD organizes seminars, conferences
and workshops on relevant subjects to strengthen voluntary action, Panchayati Raj
and people- centred rural reconstruction, in which a cross-section of member and
non-member organizations are provided still more frequent opportunities to participate. |
