4.5 ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT
As may be 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 over come
by certain specific options:
In most of the service sections of the Municipality, there are only a few vacancies which could be
filled up. A totally satisfactory system delivery of the services would require an efficient personnel
management system.
• The organization and delivery mechanism in some of the important personnel intensive
service sectors have to be modernized. To mention the important few relate to solid waste
management, where large number of workers and staff are involved, could be privatized.
Scientific solid waste management need to 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.
• Privatizing the repair and maintenance of water supply, collection of taxes and fees and
maintenance of public assets particularly sanitary and public health units is a well known
option. This also could be taken up as joint venture between urban local body and private
sector.
