Five Indian varsities in worlds top 400 listLondon: India has improved its position in the worlds definitive university
rankings with five Indian varsities entering the top 400 list, up from three in
2012. Panjab University made its debut in the Times Higher Education - World
University Rankings 2013-14 in the 226-250 band followed by two other new
entrants - Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and Kanpur in the 351-400
band. The new entrants join IIT Kharagpur, which slipped from 226-250 into
the 351-400 group, and IIT Roorkee, which retained its place in the 351-400
band. These results should be encouraging for India: while no Indian institution
makes the top 200...India now has five representatives in the top 400 - a sign of
growing commitment to the global rankings, said Phil Baty, editor of the Times
Higher Education - World University Rankings.
The drive in India to share more data and to compare its institutions against the
trusted, established and rigorous standards set by the Times Higher Education -
World University Rankings is a great step to improved quality, he added.
The increased representation for India in the rankings has been attributed to a
two-day National Policy Dialogue in May on international rankings, when
representatives of Times Higher Education were invited to meet with senioruniversity leaders by Indias Ministry of Human Resources Development and
Planning Commission.
India is clearly focusing more and more on quality to compete with the worlds
best. These rankings require a lot of data and in the past this engagement was
lacking. Even though the Indian universities have missed out on a top 200
ranking, having five in the un-ranked top 400 list is a strong performance, said
Elizabeth Gibney, a rankings expert at Times Higher Education.
Overall, the California Institute of Technology retained its place at the top of the
rankings for the third consecutive year, with Harvard University regaining
second place (up from fourth), a position shared with the UKs University ofOxford. Stanford University slipped from joint second to fourth.

Mahatmas philosophy: Assam CM
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi Wednesday announced that

ways to resolve conflicts through the teachings and philosophy of
Gandhiji, Gogoi said at a meeting organised here on the occasion of the
Bapus 145th birth anniversary by the Kamrup (Metropolitan) district
administration. Gandhiji spread the message of brotherhood, tolerance

relevant for all times to come, he said. The university would propagate his
ideals and philosophy among the youth in order to promote peace and
harmony. It would also carry out research with a view to resolving
conflicts, said Gogoi.
If we want to bring an end to violence and save the world and mankind,
we have to follow in the footsteps of Gandhiji by adopting ahimsa, or
non-violence, he said, adding that various initiatives would be taken up
aimed at disseminating Gandhijis valuable philosophy among the people.Plans are also on the anvil for installing a statue of Gandhi ji in every district
and to make a film on him to inspire and motivate the youth, he added.

1. Introduction:
A proposal is a request for
financial assistance to implement
a project. For a community project,
it may be used to seek approval
from the community members (the
community itself being the most
important donor). You may use
these guidelines to seek project
funding from any donor. We
recommend that you aim formultiple sources of funding. If you
have only one source of funding,
you may become dependent upon
that one source.
A proposal is not just a shopping
list of things you want. A
proposal must justify each item in
the list of things you want, so that
a donor agency can decide if it
wants to provide some or all ofthose things. You must know (and
be able to communicate) exactly
How to get money out of donor organizations?
PROPOSALS FOR FUNDING
A Model Document
NGO-info
what you want to do with thesethings, and that is why you should
design a project to carry out what
you want to achieve.
It is important to carefully
formulate and design your
project. It is equally important to
write a proposal which will attract
the necessary funding. Proposal
writing is a skill which requires
some knowledge and practice.
Your project proposal should be
an honest sales document. Its
job is to inform and to convince. It
is not a place to preach, boast or
to deceive. If you are convinced it
is a good idea and should be
supported, your project proposal
should honestly report it to
decision makers who weigh its
merits against other donationcommitments. It should clearly
indicate how and when the
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
39/68
37 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly01-10-2013
project will end, or become selfsupporting. Proposals should be
neat and tidy, preferably
typewritten, and without any
extraneous or unnecessary
information.
How elaborate your proposal is
should depend upon the amount
of resources being requested and
how big the total project is.
Modify these guidelines to fit theproject and proposed donor.
The project proposal must reflect
the background work you have
already done and should be
logically set out. It is not enough
to write a letter stating your
request. You have to demonstrate
the need and prove that the
project is worthy of funding.
Remember that there will bemany other organizations and
individuals competing for the
funds.
Use clear concise and simple
language which says exactly what
is meant. If necessary use
diagrams or charts to illustrate
key points. Use appendices to
avoid crowding the body of the
proposal and the flow of the
narrative. Tailor your presentation
to the agency approached.
Express a willingness to beinterviewed personally by the
funding agency once they receive
and read your proposal request.
And, especially . . .
Do not be discouraged if your
proposal is not accepted. Find out
why, and try another agency.
2. Plan Your Project (PracticalVision):
Perhaps you and your associates
have many ideas of things you
want to do; you see a need to
reduce illiteracy, to reduce
poverty, to provide safe drinking
water, to improve the level of
health, to provide training for
disabled persons, and many other
things. You must, however,choose a project that is very
specific, limit your goal to a
single desired solution to the
highest priority problem.
Involve the whole community. In
choosing your project, call a
meeting and do not neglect to
include the people who have been
often neglected in the past,
women, disabled, the very poor,those who have no voice in the
way things are decided in the
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
40/68
3801-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
community. Make sure that thepeople who are supposed to
benefiting your project feel that
this is their project, for their
benefit, and that they may
contribute to it because it is
theirs.
It is not enough, however, to
choose your goal. Good planning
is needed, identifying your
available or potential resources,generating several strategies and
choosing the most viable one,
deciding how you are going to
monitor (watch) the project to
ensure that it stays on track (ie it
continues to be consistent with
your original desires) , ensuring
that the accounting is both
transparent and accurate, and
deciding what is to be done when
(a schedule) . A bit of research
about the location, the population
characteristics, the situation, the
existing facilities, is needed in
order to objectively describe the
background to the project.
Involving the community and the
beneficiaries in this research is
the best way to ensure that it is
valid.
With the community or target
group, use Brainstorming
Principles and Procedures tooutline a Plan or Project Design.
Without allowing criticism, ask
group members to contribute to
each step of a brainstorming
group process: what is the priority
problem (list all, even the foolish
statements; then rank them in
order of priority) , facilitate the
group to understand, therefore,
that the goal is the solution to
that identified problem. Helpthem to generate objectives
(finite, verifiable, specific) from
that general goal. Identify
resources and constraints, then
generate several alternative
solutions, choosing the most
viable. Other documents are
available to explain the
brainstorming process in more
detail but this was a brief sketch.
With your background work
behind you, you will want to start
drafting your proposal. We highly
recommend that you obtain
resources (funds) from several
sources. Do not let your
organization or group become
dependent upon a single donor.
Before you begin to write your
proposal, keep in mind the
following points:
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
41/68
3901-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
It is necessary to find out inadvance what sources of funding
are available, through
governments, United Nations
agencies, some international
NGOs or private foundations.
Most donors look for the
degree of local initiative in the
project proposal, the utilization of
the available resources within the
country itself and the plans forthe project to be self-supporting
once the initial funding has been
spent.
Your project should be
practical, not too costly, and have
the potential for being repeated
in other situations.
Increasingly, funding agencies
are looking for integratedapproaches to development
projects. This means that you will
want to see to what extent your
project supports and supplements
existing activities, and is
designed to overcome identified
problems.
Almost all UN and government
agencies, foundations and private
voluntary agencies have their
own proposal format, that they
will want you to follow. If you are
not in contact with a local orregional representative, write a
letter requesting information as
to proper procedures, application
format and funding requirements.
While format varies, the same
information is asked for by all
agencies and foundations.
Find out the budgeting cycle
of the agency, whether annual,
quarterly or ongoing. Check to seeif there is a closing date for
application.
3. Project Structure (Outline of
Your Proposal):
These (structure) guidelines are
not intended to tell you what to
write, but rather how to write the
proposal. If you are responsible
for writing the proposal, then it isbecause you are the expert (in
the best sense of the word). If you
are responsible, then you know
what you want to achieve and the
best way to achieve it. In any
event, dont panic at the prospect
and dont be put off by the
technical jargon that
unfortunately is frequently used.
Do not try to write the proposal byyourself. Ask for help from your
friends and colleagues,
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
42/68
4001-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
programmer, manager, staff andthose who can assist in either
concepts or in style. Think of
preparing a proposal as a written
form of dialogue in which each
successive draft is a continuation
of the process.
The chapters of your proposal do
not necessarily have to be written
in the order presented here, but
what is written in each chaptermust relate in specific ways to
what is written in the other
chapters. Make sure that you put
the right content in the right
chapter. Make sure that each topic
relates to the others and to the
proposal as a whole.
4. Title Page (Cover):
This is a single page; the frontcover of the proposal. It should
include:
Date;
Project title;
Locations of the project;
Name of the organization; and
Any other necessary single line
information.
The abstract or executivesummary follows the title page,
but the proposers should not think
about that now, read on about the
other sections of the proposal
first.
5. Background (Causes of the
Problem):
This section is expected to
answer why your project isneeded. Here you will want to
give a description of the situation
and focus on factors which
prompted the formulation of your
proposed project. Tell how the
need for this project was
identified and who was involved
in developing the project. Explain
your projects origin or context.
It is most advisable to involve thewhole community in identifying
priority problems; that is called
participatory research.
The first thing the background
does is to identify the problem.
That means it must name the
problem and locate the problem.
It indicates the target group
(beneficiaries), the sector, the
magnitude, and other actors who
are working to solve that problem.
It also indicates the extent to
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
43/68
4101-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
which the problem has beensolved by the other actors, and
what has been so far
accomplished by your group.
While examining the problem(s)
to be addressed, several
questions should arise here.
What is the condition of the
target group to justify the donor
donating money and perhaps
seconded staff? A history of thecommunity, your group, or the
project is not essential, but a
brief outline can be useful. More
importantly, what conditions, or
what changes in conditions, are
envisaged that would lead to any
donor agreeing to fund your
project?
You may wish to include:
Project area (Issues and
problems, not descriptions);
Reasons for making this
proposal;
Circumstances leading up to
the project; and
Broader plans or strategies of
which it is a part.
If yours is a project that is notstarting fresh, the background will
also indicate any changes in your
project since it began.
Remember that the background
chapter describes the factors
leading to the problem that your
project intends to solve.
Everything in this section should
be justification to approve the
project and the requested fundingassistance. Long histories and
analyses would be detrimental
here.
6. Goals & Objectives (Solution =
Output):
The goal of your project should be
to solve the problem or problems
described in the background.
Goals and objectives must relateto the previous chapter, by stating
what is the solution to those
above problems. You need a set of
(general) goals, and sets of
(specific) objectives.
Start with goals which are
general, long term, broad desires.
From those goals generate
specific objectives which are
verifiable, measurable, finite, and
have specific dates of
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
44/68
4201-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
achievement. For example: Toreduce illiteracy, is a goal; while
To teach basic literacy skills to
20 clients by March 2, is an
objective.
You will want to be as specific as
possible in stating the objectives
of your project. They should be
written in terms of the end
results you expect in the project,
not how you will achieve theseresults. Those results must be
verifiable (ie. you can clearly
show that they have been
achieved, and they can be
confirmed by outside observers) .
When selecting the goals and
objectives for the project,
remember the nature of the
donor you ask; what kinds of
solutions are sought? The donor
does not want to contribute to
dependency, so is not interested
in funding charitable services
which may take the pressure of
obligation off those authorities
who should look after the rights
of the local people. Most donors
are not simply a source of funds
for carrying out routine
operations. They are interestedin supporting activities which
highlight the needs of the most
vulnerable and distressed, andpromote self reliance, ethnic
harmony and development.
7. Beneficiaries (Target Group):
In this chapter you describe the
beneficiaries or target groups in
some detail. You may also add
indirect or secondary
beneficiaries (eg people trained
to help the primary beneficiaries).This can be an expansion of the
topic mentioned in your
background section; indicate their
number, characteristics, reasons
for vulnerability, locations, and so
on.
Most donor agencies will be more
predisposed towards your project
if you can demonstrate that the
beneficiaries have participated inthe choice and design of the
project. (An appendix can list
meetings of beneficiaries, listing
details such as dates, locations,
times, topics discussed, speakers,
and lists of beneficiary group
members who attended. Refer to
the appendix in this chapter; do
not include it here; put it at the
end of your proposal).
8. Targets and Activities (Inputs):
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
45/68
01-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly4 3
This chapter identifies the inputsin your project, ie what resources
(cash, personnel and actions) will
be put into your project.
First, start with examining
possible strategies to reach the
objectives mentioned above. In
each case you have to link with
the previous chapter. The best
project proposal lists two, three
or four different strategies anddiscards or rejects all but one of
these, and says why. Then it goes
on to say, Given the objectives
and strategies, what activities
must be implemented or started
to use that strategy and reach the
objectives?
Target means, How much, to
whom, where and by whom? In
other words, Who does what?
For example, what kind of training
will you provide, for how long,
and how many people will be
involved? What specific skills will
be taught and what kind of follow
up activities are planned?
Indicate what kinds of jobs are
being done in the project. Refer
to your appendix for key job
descriptions. Always refer those
activities to how they will achieve
the objectives mentioned above.Even the activities of the support
staff must be justified in that they
must be employed so as to allow
the operational staff to reach their
targets.
9. The Schedule (Each Action
When):
In this section you describe in
sequence the activities you planin order to achieve your
objectives.
If you can be so specific as to give
dates, even if approximate, all the
better. You may wish to use a
diagram or bar chart to mark out
the calendar events.
Include in the work plan the
phasing of the project; how onestage of the project leads to the
next.
How long will support be needed?
(When will the project end, or
when will the project be locally
self supporting? )
10. The Organization (Profile):
This section describes the
(perhaps changing) organization
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
46/68
4401-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
and management structureneeded to carry out the activities
described above. The O in
CBO. Diagrams are very useful
in this.
Describe briefly your
organizations goals and
activities. Be specific about its
experience in working with
problems of a similar nature, what
its capabilities and resources arein undertaking a project of this
nature.
The abilities and experience of
your organizations members, your
human resources, may well be
your greatest asset. Indicate the
kind of assistance your
organization expects to receive
from possible collaborating
agencies. Attach additional
organizational information, such
as an annual report, if available.
Explain:
How will it be done?
Who is responsible for the
project?
Who will implement (who willdo it)? and
Who will direct theimplementation of the project?
Who runs the project? Who is in
charge of the overall
organization? Who is responsible
for its overall implementation (in
contrast with responsibility for its
design and its monitoring, and in
contrast with the separate actors,
separate agencies, and separate
locations) ? Will that change?These can be spelled out in the
proposal. See Organizing
byTraining for participatory
methods of developing the
organization.
Do not overlook the activities
(labour) of volunteers who
contribute to the project.
Although they might not be paid
staff, they are resources, andcontribute resources to the
project.
11. Costs & Benefits (Analysis):
In a proposal, the chapter called
costs and benefits is not the
same thing as a line by line
budget with numbers indicating
amounts of money. (The line by
line budget should be put as an
appendix at the end of the
document, not in the text).
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
47/68
HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly4501-10-2013
Here in the text of your projectproposal, the chapter on costs
and benefits should be analytical
and narrative, and relate to the
previous chapters. It should
discuss those budget lines that
may need explanation (eg
purchases, expenses or needs
which are not immediately
apparent or self explanatory).
You should try to make a costbenefit analysis, ie relate the
quantity of the objectives
reached, to the total costs, and
calculate a per unit cost (eg the
total cost divided by the number
of children taught literacy will be
the per unit cost of teaching
literacy) .Summaries or totals of
the following information may
help some donors to decide:
local costs;
external costs;
methods of financing;
local versus foreign exchange
needed;
all non-financial contributions
by the local community (eachcosted with a money equivalent);
methods to obtain supplies(where and how purchased); and
proportion of total costs
requested in this proposal.
As well as the costs (including the
amounts asked for in the
proposal), you should make some
comparison between the costs(inputs) and the value of benefits
(outputs). The following could be
answered:
Who benefits?
How do they benefit?
Justifications for the project?
What are the specific outputs
of the project?
What is the average total cost
per beneficiary?
Will value of benefits exceed
costs of inputs (or vice versa)? By
how much?
When the objectives are
qualitatively different from each
other (eg number of new parent
committees formed and the
number of children taught literacy)
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
48/68
4601-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
, then some arbitrary butreasonable division of per unit
cost must be calculated.
The budget totals should be
indicated in this section, then
refer to appendix for the detailed
budget. Other sources (donors
and the amounts) must be
mentioned. The total amount
requested should appear here in
narrative text.
12. Monitoring (Observing):
Monitoring should be done by:
the affected community,
represented by the local
committee;
Your agency or organization
(specify who in it) ; and
Your donors.
How will achievements be
measured?
How will they be verified?
Monitoring and follow-up should
be built into the project activities.
Part should be continuous selfevaluation by you (the
implementing agency).
The monitoring and receiving ofreports from the project to the
donor must be worked out and put
into your project proposal. The
monthly reports should be
designed and reviewed as to
usefulness to the donor for its
ongoing planning and
programming for the whole
country.
One thing is for sure; there shouldbe emphasis in reporting the
results, or outputs, ie the effects
of the project on the target group
or beneficiaries. There is no harm
in also reporting activities if the
reports are brief. The reporting of
achieved results, as compared to
planned objectives as defined in
your project proposal, is
essential.
See Monitoring
13. Reporting (Communicating
the Observations):
In any agency-funded project,
accounting and accountability are
very important. This applies to
most donor agencies, UN,
governmental or NGO.
In your proposal, your reporting
procedures should describe: how
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
49/68
4701-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
often, to whom, including what?You may want to discuss this with
the prospective funding agency
since reporting and evaluation
requirements vary among
agencies, and are dependent upon
type of project.
Evaluating your own project while
it is under way will help you and
your donors see your progress and
accomplishments and the choicesavailable for future action. Careful
reporting of your project in
progress is an invaluable resource
for others who attempt projects of
a similar nature.
Your proposal should indicate
what reports will be submitted.
These include regular ongoing
reports, and a final report. Short,
frequent reports (eg weekly
sitreps) may include only events
and activities. Longer reports
should indicate the results of the
project activities (not just
activities) , an evaluation or
assessment of how far the
objectives were reached, reasons
why they were not, and the impact
or effect on the beneficiaries
(target group) .
Reports should be prepared andsubmitted optimally every month.
The proposal should indicate what
reports are to be submitted andwith what frequency and content.
Each project (if your group is
proposing more than one project)
requires a separate report (two or
three pages of text plus needed
appendices).
A detailed monthly narrative
report should include how far
each of the intended objectives
has been reached, what were thereasons they were not fully
reached, and suggestions and
reasons about changing the
objectives if they were found to
need changing. The narrative
report can include information
about events and inputs (what
actions were undertaken, see
below) , but should emphasize
outputs (the results of those
actions in so much as they lead to
achieving the stated objectives) .
Attention should be paid to the
number and location of
beneficiaries. The monthly report
would best be organized into
sections corresponding to the
sections of your proposal.
A detailed monthly financial
report should include what
moneys were received and from
where, what moneys were
-
7/27/2019 HOBBY INDIA
50/68
4801-10-2013 HOBBY INDIA Fortnightly
expended, listed line by line
according to the budget
categories in the proposal,
reasons for over- or under-
spending, and an assessment of
how well the expenditures
contributed to reaching the stated
objectives of the project.
The final report should include the
same topics as the monthly
reports, plus a section calledLessons Learned, and a section
indicating the impact of the
project on the target community
and surroundi
