It is high time that our CoRWA should adopt a better
structure in order to carry forward its mission throughout the country, in a
phased manner. Having already conducted 7 national conferences, it is now
time for CoRWA to chalk out a strategy for the expansion and to place it before
the upcoming 8th NCRWA to be held in Chennai. In order to evolve a plan
of action, it is very much necessary to have the following data on hand, which
will enable the CoRWA to find out the modalities for its expansion.
1. A list of State level RWA Federations,
existing as on date, in various states across the country is needed. In order
to obtain this data, it is necessary to contact the office - bearers or
individuals, as available with CoRWA as on date. In turn, those CoRWA
members in other states will find out their ways & means to get these
details from their end and further send them to CoRWA.
2. In the states, wherever the State federations are
already existing (for example in AP - APFERWAS and in Telangana (U-FERWAS),
those State level bodies should furnish the details of their City / Town/ zone
level federations existing in their fold.
3. CoRWA should guide the existing State level RWA
bodies to chalk out a plan of action for expansion of RWA city/town level
federations in their states.
4. Wherever there is no state level body, as it is the
case in many states at present, the concerned office bearer or individuals in those
states should find out the methodologies to form a state level body, duly
obtaining the details of city/ level forums, if at all existing in those
states.
This sort of strategy is very much necessary, if we
anticipate the GoI to accord constitutional status to the RWAs. There is a
dire necessity to take every needful step to expand the activities of CoRWA and
the existing State federations.
It may not be out of place to mention that we should be able
to present a categorical statement to the Govt of India along with complete data
with regard to the strength of CoRWA, with respect to the State RWA forums and
further down to the status of each State level RWA.
I strongly believe and hope that the year 2020 should stand
as a land mark year with regard to the expansion activity of CoRWA.

level Federations < City / Town level Federations < Zone-level
Federations with more than 10 lakh population< Individual RWA or colonies.
