Sarvodaya Samiti Case

Prior to an important meeting of the partner organizations of Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) scheduled the next morning, Pradip Mohanty, Coordinator of Sarvodaya Samiti, wondered what would be the best course of action for his organization as he was concerned about the large number of honey bee-keepers associated with the Samiti. He knew that his action will have implications for the local honey industry in general and the bee-keepers in specific. He had to decide on the linkages of his organization with KVIC and its presence in different core activities like production, processing, and marketing and therefore suggest suitable ways to allocate the efforts and resources of the organization among these activities depending on the varied strengths of his organization. He was in a dilemma whether the Samiti should be a part of the proposed consortium. According to Mohanty, "Though, at present, we are in a comfortable situation, we are looking at various options which can make the future more attractive."
