Abstract: In a welfare economy like India, sponsored development actions are being carried out not only by the government but also by various Non- Governmental Organisations. But all these actions need to be evaluated in terms of beneficiaries as well as national objectives. With various community development programmes in operation, suitable evaluation procedures for these programmes may be adopted for designing and strengthening further course of action after implementation. In this context, an evaluation will be more meaningful if it involves various stakeholders for evaluating multiple perspectives for development. A fuzzy-set theoretic approach has been presented for such a procedure along with an illustration from Dongria Kondh Development Agency, a micro-project operating in Orissa.
