Shri Abdul Nazir Sab Panchayat Raj Chair
- CMDR has been accorded a chair in the name of Abdul Nazir Sab who was the crusader of rural development and worked hard to provide drinking water to villagesin Karnataka. Government of Karnataka has provided financial assistance to CMDR for establishing a Chair in the name of Shri Abdul Nazir Sab at the Centre (Financial year 2010-11). The activities of the Chair began in 2012 under the guidance of an Advisory Committee constituted by CMDR for the purpose of guiding and monitoring the activities of the unit. Since the available resources under the endowment created under the Chair are insufficient to meet the establishment costs, administrative costs, research and maintenance expenses, CMDR has been striving hard to complete the tasks promised under the Chair to fulfill its research and academic objectives. The main objective of the Chair is to undertake studies on Panchayat Raj system and to create awareness about decentralization process and guide the Panchayats in planning and monitoring the implementation of development programmes at grass root level on a regular basis.
- Following are the members of the ANS Chair Advisory Committee and the research team constituted as per the proposal submitted to Government of Karnataka.
