Chapter, 1: Introduction
1.1: statement of the study
Village organizations are the strong tools for social and economic development of the rural
people.
1.2: Importance of the study
Efforts are being made for the uplift of the rural community in most of the developing countries
having agro oriented village setting. Due to agricultural based economies, these countries are
confronting with numerous obstacles in changing their existing socio-economic conditions. Low
per capita income, lack of education and other basic amenities of life are the prominent
characteristics of these village communities.
The role of community in socio-economic development has been the focal issues on one side
and on the other side the devolution initiatives with community as a key actor in a number of
developing countries to decentralize development planning and execution. The rationale behind
the initiatives is the idea that decentralization through community participation can contribute to
efficiency, accountability and transparency of poverty reduction policies through the utilization
of local information and resources.
No any study was conducted on the role of village organizations in social and economical
development in the area of Union Council Charun District Chitral. This study is conducted to
find out the effectiveness of village organizations in socio-economic development and also
highlights some achievements being made by the different village organizations. The study also
examines the problems the members of village organizations were facing in the field of
livestock, agriculture and savings.

Chapter, 2: Review of Literature
2.1: Introduction to Community Development
Community Development is a mechanism of the local people in which mechanism the
community people are not just creates more options of job or income and infrastructure, but also
can help their community to accept the fundamental changes more betterly. when the people of
the community changed their beliefs they can get the benefits of the community development
such as the jobs in the community and infrastructure of the community, they can use the
available resources for the betterment of their community, the can spread the networks of the
community and can change the thinking pattern of the community people and can use the assets
of the community in a batter way then it was before. So community development is not just the
increase of the income of the members of the community but it is the strong community in itself.
The main aspects in which the community development emphasis are appearance of the
community, economics of the community, social and environment of the community, and this
emphasis is achieved by the participation of the community members as a whole ( cavaye).
In community development the community organizer or the government functionaries tried to
combine the local people, because this is the only technique in which the can develop their
income, their social and cultural conditions. In this way they can be able to share their efforts in
the national progress (Khalid, 2009).
According to UNO report is a program which is designed to improve the living standard of the
community with the energetic participation of the community people (Reddy, Narayana, & Rao,
2004).
Sept,01,2011-12

Community development is a structured activity in which the community members work
collectively to improve their quality of life with the professional help of Government or any
other voluntary organization of their society (Rafiq, 2003)
2.2: Different Approaches to Community Development
According to a sociologist there are five approaches to community development;
Managerial Development
In this approach the community organizer takes responsibility to educate to the community
people who are in power both in government as well as in civil society, to tell them about the
community problems and the use of logical investigation to shorter these problems.
Emotional approach
In this approach the community organizer tries to provide some kind of knowledge to the
community members about their surroundings and about their national and international issues.
So in this way the organizer helps them to know about the available resources and the policies
which the government is making for them.
Environmental approach
In this approach he tries to know about the whole number of the workers such as government
servants and NGO’s members, and thinks that these agencies are run by the leaders of the
communities and they have the professional staff so they can be the best institutions for the
educational programs.
Task approach
In this approach the organizers tries to work on a particular problem of the community with the
help of systematic investigation and the special groups in the community which are related to the
problem. This approach needs professional staff and manpower to focus on major developmental

problems; he also knows that in some causes the vertical approach is more batter then horizontal
approach.
Organized approach In this approach the community organizer efforts to build new groups of local people with the
hope to exhilarate the local and regional development. He thinks that the groups of the local
people he aided will be helpful in increasing the financial well-being and the quality of life of the
local people (Cosgriffe, 1968)
2.3: Participatory approach to Community Development
(Rafiq D. z., 2003) Defined participatory community development is an activity in which the
communities people come unite and take the responsibility to plan and decision making for the
development of their community.
(jennings, 2000), defined participation is the engagement of community people in a particular
time for creation and implementation of a program which is belong to their development,
participatory development uses the local people capabilities and the power of decision making to
enlighten their future.
(Ebewo & sirayi, 2007) Defined participatory community development that it is the basic human
right to participate in the institutions which are related to their lives, and it is better way to
support the unprivileged groups in the community socially and financially. The projects rural
community developments can be successful when they use the local potentials and the
participation of the ordinary man in that area.
(Robertson, 2002) Find in his study that if the community people participate in a program in
supporting the basic needs development of the community plays an important role in
Sept,01,2011-12
ROLE OF VILLAGE ORGANIZATIONS IN SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF UNION COUNCIL CHARUN DISTRICT, CHITRAL
15 Akbar Aziz University of Peshawar Social work Department 2010-12
sustainability of the program and the improvement of the quality of life of the community
people.
2.4: Role of NGO’s in Community Development
NGO’s are working with the emotions and willingness which is lack in government officials they
consider their self as higher than an ordinary man in the community, their work compare to
NGO’s are less effective because NGO’s work with the community people and easily aware
them about their needs and resources (Khalid D. M., 2006)
According to (Korten, 1987) the NGO’s start working on ‘community development’ projects
such as preventing diseases in primary health care, improving the forming methods, and the
framework of the community.
(Nikkah & Redzuan, 2010) Find that NGO’s are good in reaching and organizing the distant
communities, they are helpful in empowering of local organizations, they carry on projects in
lower costs and more energetically fill the gap which the government institutions left. They
build up the quality of life and supportable development. They increase the income of local
people and help them to describe the local recourses. NGO’s introduce programs after deep
studying the needs of the lower section people of the community.
(Rafiq, 2003) Defined NGO’s that provides inspirations to the local community for “social
change” and introduce the self-help and participation of community people
in welfare programs. It develops the leadership in local people and fills the gap which left by the
government institutions. It increases the income and the local resources. NGO’s introduce
programs after deep studying the needs of the lower section people of the community.

2.5: Village Organizations
Village organizations are the freely enlist groups of people in the community in which they live
(Ahmad, Israr, shaukat, shafi, & khan, 2009).
According to (Beauogui, 2009)Village Organizations unite the community to collective action,
they represents the socio-economic condition of the rural communities and help the community
members to promote skills for social and financial development.
According to (Ghaus-pasha, 2004)village organizations enable people to help each other for the
common needs, like economic and social. Village organizations constitute unity, economic
equality and healthy society.
(Wazhi, 2000) Defined the role of Village Organizations it is the ability of the rural people to
come together in to groups, societies, clubs and cooperatives. It unite them as a pressure group
which can ensure the implementation of self-help developmental activities in their communities
where government aids are not enough or not using correctly.
2.6: Role of Village Organizations in Community Development
(Ahmad, israr, shaukat, shafi, & khan, 2009) Find in their study that Village Organizations play
very important role in community development process.
(Ghaus-Pasha, 2004) Village organizations are essential part of the institutional structure
especially to face the problem of poverty.
(IFAD, 2009) Describe that village organizations unite the community members to action; it
helps the community members to improve their social and financial development.

(N, Asiabaka, Ugwoke, Ehirim, & Ejiogu-Okereke, 2007) fined in their study that women
organizations are playing important part in development of a community infrastructure, through
providing these activities construction of village schools, environmental sanitation services in
public places, loans for enterprise development of women, scholarships awards of the
community and funding youths to acquire training for skills.
According to (Brown, 1991) the non-governmental organizations play a very important role in
helping partnership development. They build sustainable systems of development in where no
one in power alone.
2.7: Area profile
Chitral or Chetrar (Khowar) translated as field in the native language Khowar, is the capital of
the Chitral District, situated on the western bank of the Kunar River (also called Chitral River),
in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The town is at the foot of Tirich Mir, the highest peak of the
Hindu Kush, 25,289 ft (7,708 m) high. It has a population of 20,000, whiles the district (of
14,833 km or 5,727 sq mi), and has a population of 300,000. The altitude of the valley is 3,700 ft

The easiest access to Chitral is in the southwest along the Chitral or Kunar Valley towards
Jalalabad. This route is open all year and provides direct access to Kabul. However the Pakistan–
Afghanistan border (Durand Line) prevents this being used as an internal route to Peshawar and
the south. The other routes are over mountain passes. To the south, the Lowari Pass 1(3,200 m or
10,499 ft) leads 365 km (227 mi) to Peshawar. In the north, the easiest route during summer runs

development of second generation of gross root development organization called Local Support
Organizations (LSOs). BLSO is one of the LSO, which has taken forward the agenda of AKRSP
to indigenize AKRSP’s knowledge and sustain community, based service delivery system in the
area.
As the backward area the people of UC, had tremendous problems such as economic, social,
educational and health etc, due to lack of resources both financial and technical.

Organizations. Explicitly the project actually brought a change in the public outlook as well as in

5.2: Recommendations
1. BLSO had provided facilities to village organizations of the area and trying to strengthen
the chain of village organizations, but mismanagement in some village organizations
became the cause of disunity and the village organizations were not properly active and
effective. It is recommended that there should be a system of check and balance to
decrease the mismanagement and disunity among the village organizations.
2. The BLSO giving different developmental projects to village organizations and there is
no proper system to audit all that activities done by the village organization. It is
recommended that the BLSO should nominate a committee for the audit of the activities
of village organizations.
3. The region is famous about its fruits production, and majority of people are not fully
aware about the quality of produce. It is recommended that marketing specialists should
be trained in all village organizations. So that they could provide marketing information’s
and introduces the new techniques in large scale.
4. BLSO had been provided loans to village organizations for the purchase of agricultural
tools and development of nursery projects etc. It is recommended that individual loans
should be provided to members of village organizations with lower interest.
5. Majority of the members did not know about the purpose of savings and its profits, and
they did not know how to use these savings and profits. It is recommended that the field
staff should provide them information about the use of their savings and profits.
6. Due to ignorance majority of the people were not in favor of women participation, in
village organizations and developmental activities. It is recommended that mass media
should be used and adult education centers should be opened for the participation of
women in organizations, so that they can also participate in rural development activities.
