1. Background<br />

YASHADA is the apex Administrative. Training Institute of the Government of<br />

Maharashtra. Over years, those 50,000 officers have been imparted training by<br />

YASHADA in various sphere of development administration. YASHADA has a unique<br />

blend of experienced bureaucrats and academicians servicing as the faculty members,<br />

which helps in synthesizing the field experience and conceptual vision of development<br />

administration into an integrated and inter disciplinary approach to training. In addition,<br />

YASHADA has now established a well equipped Research & Documentation (R &0)<br />

Center, which undertakes applied and policy oriented research in development<br />

administration and helps in continuous upgrading and enriching of YASHADA's training.<br />

However, hitherto the Tribal Development sector had remained underrepresented in<br />

YASHADA's training activities. In recent times, this lacuna was noticed especially in the<br />

wake of the malnutrition problems in tribal areas of Melghat.<br />

In this background there was a suggestion that separate cell of 'Center for Tribal<br />

Development, training and Research' should be set up at YASHADA which will<br />

holistically cater to various needs in the Tribal Development sector. The center will serve<br />

a pivotal role in bridging gaps in Tribal Development in terms of capacity building of the<br />

personnel involved in tribal development and policy advocacy through research. Further,<br />

as the activities of the center expand the possibilities of financial support from the<br />

government can be explored.<br />
