The General Body, consisting of all the members, is the supreme forum. |

vested in an elected and representative Executive Committee comprising about 21

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. |
|
|

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. |
