(This paper is a tool to assess the effectiveness of the process and resources employed by the religious organisations to attract target group for spiritual orientation and to imbibe moral values.)
The goal-resource-output matching is an important aspect of any strategy implementation process. The evaluation of output & subsequent feedback mechanism will help in assessing the effectiveness of strategy and establish mismatch in goal-output matrix if any. A number of institutions are working to revive ancient Indian value system. However, no doubt, the progress is not as desired.
- The profiling of personnel joining the program will indicate the effectiveness/gaps in the process. Following survey may be conducted and members may be asked to offer comments as given below.

- Anysuggestionforgoalsetting,day-to-dayadministration,resource modeling to suit the target group, etc.
- Studytheaimoftheorganisation.Identifythetarget groupfromaim.Establish parameters like age, qualification, socio-economic condition, religion, nationality, etc of the target group.
- Analysis.The above survey will reflect the socio-economic background, nationality and religion of the members joining the program. The percentage in different parameters will indicate the composition of the members joining the organisation. Find out following.
- % of members in different age groups (upto 25 years, 25 to 45 years, 45 to 60 years and beyond 60 years). The group with maximum % indicate the the stage of chaturashram at which members are joining the organisation.
