Chapter ñ 7 Final Report: Ambur Municipality
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
engaging workers and staff but also will improve its resource position either
through substantial reduction in a cost of solid waste management and / or
could improve in the resource position as a remunerative venture.
Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure and Financial Services initiated action to
identify Landfill site through GIS in combination with 2 or more municipality as
a centralized disposal of solid waste. This will reduce the cost of solid waste
management for each municipality.
Privatizing the operation and maintenance of water supply system,
collection of taxes and fees and maintenance of public assets particularly
sanitary and public health units is a well known option. This could be taken
up under joint venture between urban local body and private sector.
