Community Development Process at - UTKAL VIKASH PARISHAD.

People have always been interested in improving their communities, and community development practice has therefore always preceded theory. This helps explain why the term ‘community development’ has so many different definitions and meanings – many of which draw on, and merge with, other concepts such as ‘community action’, ‘community organisation’ and ‘community education’ to name just a few. Given this complexity, and because community development is primarily action oriented, some argue there is little point in trying to theorize its practices.

Moreover, there is a natural resistance to academics researching community development at a distance from the communities involved and the actual work going on the ground. Although there is no one theory of community development, community development practice has always been grounded in core values and principles.

Furthermore, community development generally involves operating from a unique perspective and a specific. Conceptual framework or guide. These perspectives and frameworks have naturally evolved over time – and quite differently in differently places. Lets Develop inputs & key thoughts towards the development of UTKAL VIKASH PARISHAD.
