Thoughts of DD speakers
"Innovation in funding: Ford Foundation does funding for capacity building of the organizations. Initially, they did unintentionally but now they specifically allot funds to invest in people, processes, infrastructure, etc to NGOs to grow become self-sustainable. "
Pradeep NairFord Foundation
"1. Innovation: Technology challenges being organised by Social Alpha to solve the grassroots challenges. The unique thing is that problem statement comes from the community themselves.
2. Lakhpati Kisan program has focused on tribal farmers for 5 to 7 years. Many farmers have now increased their incomes by more than 400 % over the years. Moreover, this has positive spillover effects in terms of children's education etc."

"Power of aggregation: aggregation of farmers for better terms of trade, collective decision making on say how much to produce and aggregating each farmer's produce to take advantage of economies of scale. Infrastructure: warehouses should be constructed and then Negotiabl Warehousing Receipts (NWRs) can be issued to farmers which are bankable and help them get credit and other advantages of the formal market."
Vijay Kumar,NCDEX.
"1. 4th I - Intention, Innovation & Impact are the 3 Is - introduced the 4th I - integration.
2. Define the vision and impact through participative approach so that everyone is on the same page and then collaborations can happen to achieve that impact.
3. Gandhiji's idea of Samagra Gram Sevak - youth in the village can deliver a stack of services through entrepreneurship. Younsters want meaninful jobs in the rural areas to prevent their migration to urban areas. This decent job also helps in upward social mobility in terms of respect these youth get among different levels of caste. ."
Madan PadakiG.A.M.E, India
“1. Government is keen for various collaborations - cited the example of NRLM where multiple stakeholders and schemes converge to create impact.
2. Community participation and ownership is a very important aspect - NRLM is trying to achieve this goal.
3. Emphasised that a sense of pride must be created in the youth about the work they will be doing in the villages. Agreed with Madan in creating agrepreneurship in the village which will create this sense of pride.
4. Mentioned E M Rogers theory of diffusion to the question on why some models work briliantly in some places and why not in some villages. "
