Identification of training needs, formulation of course design, implementation and evaluation of training are the basic steps of the training process. Dr Ramesh has attempted a research study on Training Needs Analysis of Police Personnel deployed in the naxalite prone areas of our country. Besides visits to the naxalite areas, structured interviews and brainstorming an excellent research methodology in the form of analysis of critical incidents of naxalite menace was done for working out the training needs in a much needed area. His research study is being brought-out in a book form by the SVP National Police Academy for effective and speedy dissemination of research findings to the Training Institutions, field units and the policy makers. Based on identified training needs, Dr. Ramesh has recommended the course designs for various ranks engaged in the naxalite prone areas. Methodology of training is also suggested by him. This book is more of referential nature and will certainly provide TNA methodology based on the real time analysis of critical incidents. V.N.

  • Red Bengal's Rise and Fall
    kheya bag RED BENGAL’S RISE AND FALL he ouster of West Bengal’s Communist government after 34 years in power is no less of a watershed for having been widely predicted. For more than a generation the Party had shaped the culture, economy and society of one of the most Tpopulous provinces in India—91 million strong—and won massive majorities in the state assembly in seven consecutive elections. West Bengal had also provided the bulk of the Communist Party of India– Marxist (cpm) deputies to India’s parliament, the Lok Sabha; in the mid-90s its Chief Minister, Jyoti Basu, had been spoken of as the pos- sible Prime Minister of a centre-left coalition. The cpm’s fall from power also therefore suggests a change in the equation of Indian politics at the national level. But this cannot simply be read as a shift to the right. West Bengal has seen a high degree of popular mobilization against the cpm’s Beijing-style land grabs over the past decade. Though her origins lie in the state’s deeply conservative Congress Party, the challenger Mamata Banerjee based her campaign on an appeal to those dispossessed and alienated by the cpm’s breakneck capitalist-development policies, not least the party’s notoriously brutal treatment of poor peasants at Singur and Nandigram, and was herself accused by the Communists of being soft on the Maoists. The changing of the guard at Writers’ Building, the seat of the state gov- ernment in Calcutta, therefore raises a series of questions. First, why West Bengal? That is, how is it that the cpm succeeded in establishing

  • Impact of Modernisation of Police Forces Scheme on Combat Capability of the Police Forces in Naxal-Affected States
    The menace of Left Wing Extremism (LWE), commonly termed as Naxalism and Maoist IDSA Occasional Paper No. 7 insurgency, has been categorised as the single biggest challenge to India’s internal security by the Prime Minister. He urged the Centre as well as States, to urgently employ all December 2009 available resources to cripple the virus of Naxalism. The Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs has adopted a multi-prong strategy to deal with the Naxal menace, including an effective security response to curb rebel violence. Due to socio-economic roots of the problem, emphasis is being laid on employing the State Police Forces to tackle the Naxal violence. However, the Government’s security response, have been ineffective in most of the States except a few. Inadequate combat capability of police forces in Naxalism-affected States is considered a prime factor for failing security response. The police forces in most of the States are tremendously capacity-deficient in terms of manpower, resources, training and infrastructure. Impact of Modernisation of Police Forces This occasional paper attempts to assess and analyse the impact of the MPF scheme on building police combat capability in affected States. In order to realistically assess the Scheme on Combat Capability of the impact of the MPF scheme, the paper focuses on the ongoing MPF scheme in various affected States in general, and the States of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa in Police Forces in Naxal-Affected States: particular, which are worst hit and generally considered to be having the least developed police capability. A Critical Evaluation Commandant Om Shankar Jha, is a serving officer of the Border Security Force (BSF).

  • Assessing the Promise and Limitations of Joint Forest Management in an Era of Globalisation: the Case of West Bengal.1
    Assessing the promise and limitations of Joint Forest Management in an era of globalisation: the case of West Bengal.1 Douglas Hill, Australian National University. Introduction This paper seeks to interrogate the claims of the dominant discourses of globalisation with regard to their compatibility with mechanisms for empowering marginalised communities and providing a basis for sustainable livelihood strategies. These concerns are examined from the perspective of the development experience of India, including the New Economic Policy (NEP) regime initiated in India in 1991, and its subsequent structural transformation towards greater conformity with the imperatives of ‘economic liberalisation’. It suggests that the Indian institutional structure of development has been such that resources have been unequally distributed and that this has reinforced certain biases particularly on a caste/class and gender basis. The analysis suggests that these biases have reduced the legitimacy of previous models of resource management and continue to hamper the prospects of current formulations. These concerns are analysed utilising an examination of the management of forest-based Common Property Resources (CPRs) within the context of rural West Bengal, specifically the system of Joint Forest Management (JFM) i. Such an examination is pertinent since those communities dependent upon CPRs for a substantial part of their subsistence requirements are amongst the most vulnerable strata of society. As Agrawhal, (1999), Platteau (1999, 1997) and others have argued, these CPRs function as a “social safety net” or “fall-back position”ii. This should be seen within the broader context of rural development, since the success or failure of the total rural development environment including poverty alleviation programs, agriculture, rural credit and employment (both on and off farm), will influence the relative dependence on these CPRs.

  • The Whole System Is Guilty!
    Frontier Vol. 44, No. 45, May 20-26, 2012 JANGALMAHAL DEBATE The Whole System is Guilty! Dipankar Chakrabarti JUNGALMAHAL, THE MOST bakward region of West Bengal, consisting of the largest parts of the three districts of West Medinipur, Bankura and Purulia in the south-west of the state, has been hogging the media headlines since the beginning of the last decade. The region since then has become a hotbed of politically motivated armed conflicts. This process was acutely aggravated during the last five years of the Left Front rule. Though there were expectations that peace will be restored in the region with the departure of that regime, the same tradition has been continuing even after the present Trinamul Congress(TMC)-Congress combine assumed office under the almost absolute leadership of Mamata Banerjee. The present government had initiated some efforts for `peace’ but it ended in a whimper. The failed effort has rather produced a bitter debate within the civil society in general and human rights movement in particular. A large section of the population of the region consists of ‘Adivasis’ or tribals and Scheduled Castes. These downtrodden people have been deprived of any effective development endeavour. In terms of development, this region, termed ‘the Western Region’ by the government, is like two sides of the same coin: co-existence of rich forests and huge areas of uncultivated lands; or of natural beauty and harsh poverty and deprivation. In six decades of the Indian democracy, the tribals have received their shares only as alienation, exploitation, discrimination, deprivation and dispossession. According to the 2004 Human Development Report of West Bengal, these districts ranked 14th among all the districts in the state in terms of human development indicators.
