Role of Business Partner under Research

Research is the backbone of development. Whatever we see around is because of tireless efforts made by researchers across the world.  Business Partner may not realise their importance now in so far as their role is concerned but in brief they will be required to:

1. Undertake survey in their area on different issues as per requirements of various research institutions, create vast database on different aspects for overall development of their village/colony.
2.  
3. If work professionally, accurately and honestly, a Business Partner may also act as ‘Village Statistical Officer’, which is a plan for their growth during the course of time.
4.  
5. Since a Business Partner has to work for overall development of their village, a Business Partner is supposed to collect various information, coordinate with various development agencies within the Block/district and work as per direction issued. All work under this activity may not be paid activity, a Business Partner should also be ready to work voluntarily.
6.  
7. A Directory of Centrally and State sponsored schemes will be created. A Business Partner has to check whether benefits of all schemes are reaching intended beneficiaries/village or not. If not, SSEG will provide them a system to initiate the process.
8.  
9. For identification of Infrastructure gap, a check list will be provided to the Business Partner to help DLC in identification of issues/activities and seek funding required from external sources like CSR. Details will be coordinated by DLC and locally identified NGO. Business Partner has to coordinate with all to ensure that infrastructure gap and basic amenities are minimised.
10.  
11. Proper planning and implementation is the key to scientific and systematic development, which require high level of knowledge, expertise and competency to coordinate. A Business Partner may not be initially competent to successfully perform this responsibility but can seek cooperation and support of such persons from village or SSEG Team will extend support. DLC has to extend full cooperation and support in this regard.

Research and Development is an unending process, its scope can’t be limited. If Business Partner remain associated, during his life-time he will contribute a lot for development of his village which will be liked by the villagers. It will boost him to develop leadership quality.
