Training service provided at LRCs:


The ultimate aim of the entire process is to provide capacity building services in a systematic and institutionalized manner, to the user communities. Any concept takes its own time to take off, stabilize and deliver. The early assessment of LRC's services is quantified in limited number of cases. The several parameters the NGO anchored LRC seem to be performing better than that of GO anchored LRC. However, the average functional months in case of NGO LRC is higher. As a result, the performance is still below the potential. The over all occupancy rate (a typical indicator of performance hotels) in case of both these centers is much lower than its potential. 5 and 4 training days per center appear to be a grossly under utilized service of these service centers. It is important to realize that the several process hurdles are on the way to make this happen and remove these hurdles.

Though there are several indicators of success of a resource center, at this point of time all these indicators may not be relevant. However, it is important to develop this orientation and consciousness among the project authorities and policy makers on issues such as efficiency and cost effective capacity building delivery systems.
