| Abstract | Since the National Rural Development Programme
has been set up in 1982 (beginning of the Fifth plan) it had been
expected that the rural development administration of Thailand
would be more efficient in solving the problems of rural area.
There was created a unity or command from the national to the
grass- root level and all government agencies were
expected to have the same concept or rural development. However,
fulfilling this objective needed not only the good administration
system but also competent officers especially at the local level.
This study is an attempt to find out the potential for fulfilling
the objectives of the NRDP and the directions which it is taking
at the present based mainly on the opinions of those responsible
for its implementation and partly in comparative with the
opinions of those central officials responsible for formulation
of the programme . Fifty- nine on- duty district officers of five
provinces of the ยท northeast who were expected to have
understanding about NRDP implementation and eleven central policy
makers who have understanding of the programme in its more
technical aspects were the target group of this study. It was
found out that each group has a different perception on the NRDP
system. The local level officers tended to see the main
constraints arising at the centre, where as the higher level
officials saw faults in the implementation at local level.
Perhaps both views are valuable and in presenting many obstacles
which are confronting the development of the NRDP, it is hoped
that this research study will be or value to all related
officers. |
