The report which ran into 67 pages, gave details of the study team's findings during its weeklong tour of Nagaland to study the actual operating mechanism of communitisation of public service and district level planning in Nagaland.
The study team comprised leader Joseph Lalhimpuia, MLA and vice chairman of High Powered Committee 'Lunglei' (HPC 'L') L Colney, former Nagaland chief secretary Lalchhuanawma Hrahsel chief planning officer, HPC 'L' and Dr Lalrinchhana, senior research officer, planning department.
The study team was impressed by the successful implementation of the Nagaland' communitisation scheme which evolved out of a quest to improve public delivery system.
The team found that the communitisation programme under which village council was highly empowered, witnessed tremendous impact in health, water and sanitation, power and education sectors where the scheme was implemented.
''The participation of community in the planning led to judicious utilisation of fund for infrastructure development,'' the report stated.
In education sector, there has been a marked improvement in the percentage of school dropouts, teachers attendance, the quantity and quality of food for mid-day meal scheme after the entire responsibility of elementary education management was handed over to Village Education Committees (VEC) and ward education committees (WEC), the report said.
