About the organization:  
PMRDFs will basically function as development facilitators, they will assist the Collector and his/her colleagues in each of the IAP districts and provide them with the necessary analysis of situations and how they should be handled. The fellows would actively pursue a district programming approach following three key strategies given below: Strengthen the district resource base for programming by finding ways of resourcing all the planned activities and rational budgeting. Establish or strengthen systems by exploring alternative ways of delivering services to reach the most deprived communities. Trigger processes which would support the changes that have been envisioned in this approach (e.g. village planning). This would be complemented by a set of supportive actions such as building the capacity of district and block officials; triggering district-wide social mobilization processes particularly among the youth; achieve a ground swell of support and build strong relationships with the Panchayats.On 13th of september, Union Minister of Rural Development Mr. Jairam Ramesh announced a scheme of PM’s Rural Development Fellows (PMRDF), for deploying young professionals in each of the IAP districts to assist the District Collector. What is implicit in the announcement is the fact that the challenge of Naxalite violence cannot be dealt with by following the ?business as usual’ principle.
