Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti cordially invites you participate in a two-day consultation on PESA (Panchayat Extension to Scheduled Areas Act) on March 2 and 3, 2011 at Gandhi Darshan, Rajghat New Delhi. We would be greatly honoured if you accept it.
The core objectives of this consultation are to build understanding about PESA among activists, groups and organisations working in adivasi areas and to integrate demand for implementation of PESA into campaigns and networks on other issues such as FRA. We intend to support these processes across various fora at regional and local levels and to contribute towards building a momentum among various groups for its proper implementation.
We believe that addressing issues and resolving problems related with governance in adivasi areas hold key to solving problems of exploitation, alienation, underdevelopment and extremism. Effective implementation of PESA is an important step in that direction.
There would be around 40 participants ranging from experts on PESA to activists/groups working on adivasi issues from various states. A copy of the schedule of the programme is enclosed.
We do hope you will accept our invitation as we all hope to learn a lot from you.Programme is as under :
