The responsibility for good governance and management is vested with the
Municipality. Although, the municipality is responsible for overall development of
the town including provision and maintenance of services, there are other agencies
responsible for planning, development and provision of specific services. Such key
stakeholders include:

7.8 ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT
As been seen from various sections of the report particularly relating to service
deliveries, there are gaps of various sizes which result in a shortage in the delivery
system. This could be overcome by certain specific options:
In most of the service sections of the Municipality, there are vacancies which
could be filled up. This alone may not ensure a totally satisfactory delivery of
the services as it requires an efficient personnel management.
The organization and delivery mechanism in some of the important personnel
intensive service sectors has to be modernized. To mention the important few
particulars relate to Solid Waste Management, where large no. of workers
and staff are involved, could be modernized resorting to localized and more
efficient composting and Landfill system. This could be assigned to NGOs,
voluntary organizations or even the respective resident associations in the
various colonies. This is a remunerative venture as is proved in many places.
This process not only will significantly reduce the burden of the Municipality in
