CENTER FOR INSTITUTION BUILDING AND LEADERSHIP STUDIES (CIBLS)

Capacity Development for Educational Institutions:

The Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini (RMP), India�s unique training and research institute has actively been engaged in the capacity building of the workers of voluntary organizations and people�s representatives at various levels. Few years back, RMP has taken another initiative in its forte of training, by launching its wing for comprehensive training in Institution Building.

Background

The impact of privatization, globalization and liberalization is not far to seek in trade and businesses. And since there are no water tight compartments the impact of these processes is also felt in education sector. To remain ahead and relevant in this era of cut throat competition these institutes need to internalize changes and review their ways of functioning in the light of the changing times. Schools, colleges, their parent bodies as also Universities are facing innumerable challenges in the changed circumstances and are forced to reinvent themselves.

Here comes the role of CIBLS. The Centre for Institution Building & Leadership Studies (CIBLS) was launched as an independent entity in 1997 for the overall capacity building mainly of those in the sector of education. Later, co-operative banking was also brought under the wings of CIBLS.

Objectives

To undertake comprehensive capacity building exercises for the management as well as teaching and non-teaching staff members of schools, colleges and Universities and similar institutions mainly with a view to inculcating .

Consciousness about institutional responsibilities, institutional ethos, and the wiser context of institutional functioning
A sound understanding of the process of institution building
Leadership Skills
Team Spirit and a sense of Collective Responsibility
Understanding of the importance of work culture and quality functioning
All relevant functional skills and abilities

Organizational skills, leadership qualities and institute building abilities are an integral part of management science. The combination of management science and practical considerations of ground realities would strengthen the educational institutes. RMP has been organizing various activities for the four components connected with education through the medium of capacity building programs.

For the Co-Operative Sector

Co-operation has its own place of prominence in India. Particularly Maharashtra has tradition of activism in this sector which has helped many to enhance their economic and social status. However, the entire sector finds itself facing innumerable challenges today. On the one hand the entire co-operative movement has to adopt itself to modern day new professional standards. It also has to regain popular confidence, which unfortunately has been on wane for the last couple of decades. A co-operative venture, although run with a voluntary mindset with a sense of social responsibility has to be productive, profitable and a truly business like organization. It has to have a definite growth model for its development and a specific road map. All this is certainly going to contribute to the overall strength of the organization to evolve its own Unique Selling Proposition (USP).

It is with this background that Co-operative Banking Training Centre has set up the following six cells:

Business Policy and Planning
Human Resource Development
Information Technology
Member / Customer Awareness
Women�s Co-Operatives
Personnel Management
