Sub.:- Review of Model Constitution and Rules and Regulations for the Residents Welfare Associations recognised by the Government of India, Department of Personnel and Training – Regarding
Sir/Madam,
Keeping the following objectives in view, the Government of India, Department of Personnel & Training has been encouraging the formation of Residents’ Welfare Associations in Government residential colonies as well as private colonies in which 200 or more Central Government employees are residing in one compact area:-
(a) To foster a sprit of mutual help and goodwill among the inhabitants of the colony in general, and the members of the Association in particular, thereby, promoting communal harmony and national integration.
(b) To make all possible efforts to achieve general amentities. Consumer protection such as interaction with traders on quality and quantity of goods, over charging etc. Monitering of the public distribution system including supply of essential and consumable items and environmental protection such as steps to curb pollution, ensure cleanliness, plantation of trees, interaction with authorities on any environmental aspects and for this purpose, represent the interest of the residents before appropriate authorities.
(c) To undertake all such other lawful acts, deeds or thing including Sports and Cultural activities as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of any or all of the above objects including the general Welfare of the Employees and their families.
(d) To promote such welfare and socio-economic activities as may be approved by the Department of personnel and Training.
The Welfare Division of the Department of Personnel and Training, with a view to bring about uniformity and to provide guidance to these Association in their organisational matters, have formulated a “Model Constitution” and “Rules and Regulations” for the Residents Welfare Association. The Model Constitution and Rules and Regulations for the RWAs were last updated in July, 1999 (copy enclosed).
Lately, it has been noticed that the very objective of fostering a spirit of mutual help and goodwill among the inhabitants of the colony has gone on back foot due to growing disputes among the office bearers and members of RWAS and lack of transparency in the functioning of RWAS.
In view of the above, it is of paramount importance to re-visit the Model Constitution and Rules and Regulations for the RWAs. Accordingly, all RWAs and AWOs are requested to suggest modification/amendment in the existing Model Constitution and Rules and Regulations for the RWAS in the following format for comparative analysis and consideration of the suggestions:-
| Sl. No. |
Provision in existing Model Constitution and Rules and
Regulations for the RWAs |
Modification/amendment suggested |
Justification for suggesting the modification/amendment |
|
|
|
|
Your suggestions should focus on:-
i) Transparency and accountability in the functioning of the RWAs;
ii) Enhancing effectiveness and efficiency of the RWAs;
iii) Any other point as you may wish to add.
You may submit your suggestions to the Welfare Division of the Department of Personnel and Training by 30.06.2014.
Yours faithfully,
