FROM DIRECTOR'S DESK

T he year 2014-15 has been the year of academic consolidation for the Institute. This is reflected in the remapping of Institute's Research agenda along with expansion of its teaching work. A day long interaction of the faculty with the Research Advisory Committee was organized on September 19, 2014 to evolve research priorities and research agenda of the Institute and of the respective faculty members. Experts were highly appreciative of the motivational levels and team spirit with which young faculty set out its research agenda. Regarding the research activities, the faculty completed thirteen research projects in the current academic year, details of which are given in the report. With new projects coming in, a total of fourteen projects were in progress by the end of the year. These projects include four prestigious projects of long duration namely, 'Impact Assessment of Disaster and Trends in Sustaining Recovery in Uttarakhand', 'Social and Educational Status of OBC/Dalit Muslims in Uttar Pradesh', 'Job Search and Hiring Practices in Urban Labour Markets', and 'Muzaffarnagar Riots: Interrogating Political Dynamics of Religion and Caste of Western Uttar Pradesh'. These projects are expected to provide major direction to policy making. Faculty published one book, 52 research papers in various journals, two Working Papers and one Occasional Paper. The Institute prepared a Vision Document on 'Drought Mitigation Programme in Bundelkhand Region of UP', which was commissioned by the Planning Department of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The Institute organized a number of outreach programmes to disseminate its research activities and ensure better interaction between its faculty and Ph.D. students. Eleven internal seminars by the faculty, doctoral and post-doctoral students and eight lectures by invited experts were organized during the year. The Institute successfully organized the Eighteenth Annual Conference of the Indian Political Economy Association (IPEA) during November 15-16, 2014. Participants were from all over the country. Unique feature of the IPEA conference was to introduce young researchers to the methodology of political


06

economy, highlighting the limitations of the mainstream research methodology, which is rooted in structural functional approach. Institute plans to publish select papers from this conference in an edited volume. Institute organized a panel discussion on 'Inequalities and Disadvantaged Communities in India: Lessons from the India Exclusion Report 2014 in collaboration with the Centre for Equity Studies and UNICEF on December 11, 2014. One public lecture on 'Social and Educational Status of Muslim OBCs/Dalit Muslims in Uttar Pradesh by Professor Imtiaz Ahmad, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi was organized on March 20,2015. It was well attended by scholars and public persons from Lucknow and was highly appreciated. A two week training programme on Capacity Building of Young Social Scientists was organized during February 16-27, 2015 and another Research Methodology Course for Ph.D. Students in Social Sciences was organized during March 16-25, 2015. Both the programmes were sponsored by ICSSR. Ph.D. programme was further strengthened by organized Pre-Ph.D. course work of Banaras Hindu University. Eight new Ph.D. students were admitted under ICSSR doctoral student's fellowship programme. Two more ICSSR post-doctoral fellows joined in this academic year. These new entrants enriched the academic environment of the Institute. Two new members Professor B.K. Joshi and Professor Rajiv Kumar were invited to join the Board of Governors of the Institute. Simultaneously the terms of four members of the Board, namely Prof. K.P. Kannan, Prof. Mahendra Dev, Prof. Zoya Hasan and Prof. Padmani Swaminathan were unanimously renewed for a period of three years. One faculty member Dr. Srinivas Goli resigned and was relieved to join as Assistant Professor at Centre for the Study of Regional Development, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. A number of new initiatives to improve service conditions of the faculty and supporting staff were undertaken during 2014-15. So far Rs. 62.18 lakhs have been paid towards Corpus Fund of the LIC providing full cover to the gratuity payment to employees retiring on superannuation. The enhanced OPD medical reimbursement for employees is now comparable with the similar provisions at national organizations in the country. A number of measures were taken to improve the physical infrastructure of the Institute including road and pavement repair, provisioning for separate electric connection for residential quarters, and purchase of new vehicle for the Institute. Further the Institute's land which was on lease from the Lucknow Development Authority was converted into free hold land with due registration. All these steps will go a long way in providing comfort and facilities to researchers and staff on the Institute's campus. Details of the academic and research activities and audited financial accounts are provided in various sections of the Annual Report. I look forward to the bright future for the Institute!

RESEARCH PROJECTS

COMPLETED PROJECTS

1. Out Migration From Hill Region of Uttarakhand: Issues and Policy Options Sponsor : SR Sankaran Centre for Rural Studies, NIRD, Hyderabad

Project Directo r: Prof. R.P. Mamgain

Out-migration from Hill Region of Uttarakhand has accelerated in recent years. The study, therefore, examined the recent trends in migration in the state of Uttarakhand in general and hill districts in particular. An attempt was made to explore the linkages between the migrants and their family left behind in terms of improving the resource base, both physical and human, at their native place. The study made a critical analysis of the role of development interventions in attracting return migration and discouraging out-migration.

The study brings out several important findings. It shows how an impressive overall growth path of Uttarakhand has created huge regional inequalities within the State. The growth process could hardly create productive employment and income opportunities in Hill region of Uttarakhand. There is hardly any visible progress made towards developing remunerative agriculture in most of the villages in Hill Region. Outside agriculture, employment opportunities in construction grew significantly, but local people are mostly unwilling to undertake manual work. Their access to skilled jobs in construction sector was severely affected due to lack of such skill training. Thus, lack of remunerative livelihoods coupled with obsession for salaried jobs has forced a large number of youth to migrate to cities in search of salaried jobs which are of relatively longer duration irrespective of earnings. The study shows how important are improved access to information, skills, technology, markets, policy and institutional support for better terms of engagement for small producers. Institutions responsible for the implementation of such policies must be pro-active and develop a synergy and coordination to avoid conflicts and produce better results.

2. Street Children in Lucknow: A Study of their Socio-Economic Background and Living ConditionsSponsor : Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi Project Director : Prof. B.K. Bajpai

The study examined the nature, extent and problems of street children in Lucknow city. It focused on the estimation of the number of street children, analysis of factors contributing to its emergence and growth, examination of occupational pattern, earning levels and working conditions of street children in the Lucknow city. Study also looked at the living conditions and problems of the street children covering emotional, cultural and social aspects of deprivation.

The study found that majority of the street children in Lucknow are from families that migrate from rural to urban areas with the expectation of better living. These families

13


end up living in the slums which generally are denied of all the basic amenities. In order to secure minimum living, in the new, expensive, and unfriendly urban location, these families send out their children to work. With no particular skills in hand, these children end up on the streets for work, forgoing their education and homely comfort. Again the study pointed out that these children secure extremely low wages and are prone to physical and sexual abuse inflicted by employers and strangers alike. Due to harsh social, economic and emotional environment at home and at work these children often internalize their pain, which adversely affect their personality and development. Most of these families and children have no clue of any available governmental or non-governmental support.The study recommended for social mobilization program in the place of origin for migrant population.

3. Evaluation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) School Scheme in the State of Uttar PradeshSponsor : Ministry of Human Resource Development, Department of School Education & Literacy, Govt. of India, New DelhiProject Director : Prof. B.K. Bajpai

This evaluation study assessed the relevance and impact of the ICT facilities in government and Government aided Secondary and Senior Secondary Schools. It looked into issues of effectiveness by measuring the extent of target achievement for key indicators. The study also assessed the sustainability of the impact.

For improved implementation of ICT scheme in state, the study suggested establishment of smart class rooms in each ICT covered school and increasing the number of computers where the strength of student is very high. In order to make ICT program more effective study highlighted the need for hi-speed internet connectivity. The study found that no computer workshops were conducted for information dissemination and this hindered the optimum utilization of available facilities. The study recommended for conducting such workshops. Further it felt the need to increase both infrastructural facilities as well as motivational level of the teachers by enhancing the salaries of contractual teachers, duration of training etc to achieve the desired results of the scheme.

4. Evaluation of National Food Security MissionSponsor : Mission Director, Additional Agriculture Director (Rice), Agriculture Directorate, UP, Lucknow Project Director : Prof. B.K. Bajpai

The objectives of the study have been to examine the operational strategies and implementation process in the context of the approved plan of action of National Food Security Mission of Uttar Pradesh. The study explored the level of area expansion and growth under Rice, Wheat and Pulses components of the project areas in the state. The changes in economic status of beneficiaries after the implementation of the project and the quality of works done and quality of inputs provided to the farmers under the project have also been identified. As the scheme is found to be good for improving the economic status of farmers of the state, it is suggested that coverage of scheme be

14


extended to all the districts of the state. Again it was suggested that the scheme should cover all types of foodgrains.

5. First Half Yearly Report of Monitoring and evaluation of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in the State of BiharSponsor : Department of Elementary Education and Literacy, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of IndiaProject Director : Prof. B. K. Bajpai

GIDS is one of the two selected agencies for monitoring and evaluation of SSA programme in the state of Bihar. This process of evaluation is carried out on a continuous basis in different districts to cover entire state over a period of time. Evaluation identifies physical, social, cultural, linguistic and other barriers coming in the way of successful implementation of SSA in the light of RTE goals. Report completed in this financial year covered five districts of Bihar viz Saran, Vaishali, Begusarai, Lakhisarai and Sheikhpura. All the sample schools of the districts were selected randomly on the basis of laid down criteria. The findings of the project report are as under.

a) Saran(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

Most of the primary and upper primary schools of this district were located within the prescribed distance of one and three kilometers. Nevertheless, natural and human made barriers were faced by the students on the way to their schools in small number of primary and about half of the upper primary sample schools. The overall attendance of the students was about 64 percent and 61 percent in primary and upper primary schools respectively. The lowest attendance was among minority students and the highest among OBC category students of primary and upper primary classes. The Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) was quite high in primary and upper primary schools. Computer aided learning in upper primary schools was not found in proper shape. Out of total number of children with special needs (CWSN) in the catchment area of schools, substantial percentage was enrolled in primary and upper primary schools. Need for home based education of CWSN students was felt in majority of upper primary schools of the district. Members of School Management Committee (SMC) and Village Education Committee (VEC) were found active in monitoring the attendance of students, text book distribution, use of toilets and its cleaning, and monitoring teacher absenteeism

b) Vaishali(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

In this district again most of the primary and upper primary schools were fulfilling the distance criterion. The study found that there were problems in physical access to school in small number of primary and one- fourth upper

15


primary schools. Again only one- third primary schools and one-fourth upper primary schools were having classrooms as per RTE norms. It was encouraging to find good classroom conditions in majority of primary and upper primary schools. More than fifty percent upper primary schools had electricity connection. The overall presence of the students in primary schools was about 63 percent but at the upper primary level attendance was only 50 percent. The study found that concurrent evaluation method was followed by all schools as per the RTE norms. Again all the VEC members from primary and upper primary schools were educated and trained for the implementation of civil works in primary schools. As per requirement, report cards were displayed on notice boards and school records were maintained and updated regularly.

c) Begusarai(Team Member: Prof. Fahimuddin)

The physical accessibility norm in some schools was not met as students of some of the primary and upper primary schools faced manmade and natural barriers while going to the schools. However, all the primary and upper primary schools were found to be located within the distance of one and three kms respectively. Majority of primary and upper primary schools were not having class rooms as per RTE norms. However, the condition of majority of available classrooms was good. The study found that ramps for Children with Special Need were not available in most of the schools and wherever they were available, they were not usable. Separate toilets for boys and girls were available in all the sample schools, but they were not being used in primary schools. The study found that this was primarily because of bad condition of toilets due to non availability of water. Library facility was available in majority of schools and its maintenance was also found to be good and satisfactory. Free textbooks were also distributed to all students of primary and upper primary schools.

d) Lakhisarai(Team Member: Prof. Fahimuddin)

In majority of primary schools, electricity was not available as compared to upper primary schools. However, classroom facilities were found to be good in majority of schools. Safe and hygienic drinking water was available to all students. Play ground availability was limited to some schools but available ones were maintained properly. However student's participation in sports was limited. In terms of social accessibility the study found no discrimination across caste and religious groups. About 67 percent of all enrolled students at primary level were found to have generally attended their classes regularly. The positions of head teachers and assistant teachers were found to be vacant in many schools. The expenditure was made as per norms and in upper primary schools construction of extra rooms, construction of toilets, kitchen, uniform, scholarships etc. were the main items of grant and expenditure.

16


e) Sheikhpura(Team Member: Dr. R. C. Tyagi)

The study found that in most of the primary and upper primary schools number of classrooms was not as per RTE norms. All primary and upper primary schools maintained proper educational records of the village and their respective wards. The study found that SC and OBC students were largest among school leavers or dropouts. Overall, dropout among boys in sample primary and upper primary schools was higher as compared to girls in this district. Further teacher's interaction with the students of different social, economic, caste, religion, gender and disabilities was found to be fair and non-discriminatory. The mode of transfer of funds to village education committee (VEC) for construction in all primary and upper primary schools was being done through E-transfer.

6. First Half Yearly Report of Monitoring and Evaluation of Mid Day Meal (MDM) in the state of Bihar, Sponsor : Department of Elementary Education and Literacy, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of IndiaProject Director : Prof. B. K. Bajpai GIDS is the monitoring and evaluation agency for the evaluation of MDM scheme as part of SSA programme in the state of Bihar. The process of MDM evaluation is undertaken on a continuous basis in different districts allotted to the Institute. Report completed in this financial year covered five districts of Bihar viz Saran, Vaishali, Begusarai, Lakhisarai and Sheikhpura. All the sample schools of the districts were selected randomly on the basis of laid down criteria. The findings of the project report are as under.

a) Saran(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

Study revealed that 75 percent of the primary schools and over 70 percent of upper primary schools received good quality food grains within one month.Again funds from state, district and the block for MDM were being released on time. There was no difference between MDM registers and head count of students on the day of visit of the research team in schools. No discrimination was not found in seating arrangement, cooking, and serving of food. The availability of potable water through India Mark II hand pumps was found in almost all primary and upper primary schools. However, the number of VEC meetings relating to MDM was not frequent.

b) Vaishali(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

It was found that food was cooked in the schools premises in some schools only. In most of the primary schools, food was cooked and provided by NGO. All the sample primary and upper primary schools reported to have been receiving MDM fund in advance on regular basis. Discrimination was not found in

17


cooking, serving of food and seating arrangement. The meal was being tasted by the teachers before it was served to the students. The prescribed quantity of MDM was given to students and was found to be sufficient. The quality of MDM was found to be 'Good' in half of the sample primary and three- fourth upper primary schools. Kitchens were available in all primary and upper primary schools where food was being cooked on the premises.

c) Begusarai(Team Member: Prof. Fahimuddin)

All the sample primary and upper primary schools received food grains within one month and its quality was good. There was timely release of MDM funds from state, district and the block in all primary and upper primary schools. The funds released were split between the schools and NGO because food was provided in 4 primary and 3 upper primary schools by an NGO. All the sample primary and upper primary schools reported to have received MDM fund (cooking cost) in advance on regular basis. MDM was cooked by VEC/SMC appointed cooks. Majority of cooks belonged to OBC castes and they were paid monthly salary of Rs.1000/ through the banks on regular basis. Students were encouraged to wash their hands before and after the meal. The students were seen receiving the MDM in queue in all the schools. Surrounding and accessibility of centralized kitchen was found to be good.

d) Lakhisarai(Team Member: Prof. Fahimuddin)

The MDM was served by cooks and the students received MDM in queue. Menu was displaced at noticeable places in most of the primary and in all the sample upper primary schools. In majority of primary and most of the upper primary schools, health cards of students were maintained. Likewise, Iron, Folic Acid and Vitamins were being given to majority of students. Pucca kitchens were available in 50 percent primary schools and in almost all upper primary schools. The team found that kitchens including stores were located at some distance from the school and they were not neat and clean. The participation of parents, SMCs/VECs and Panchayat/ urban bodies in supervision of MDM was found to be satisfactory in most of the schools. Thus, community participation has also been ensured at a reasonable level in these schools.

e) Sheikhpura(Team Member: Dr. R. C. Tyagi)

In all sample primary and upper primary schools appointment of cook-cum-helper were made by School Management Committee (SMC). All sampled primary and upper primary schools cooks were sufficient in number (as per govt. norms). Flow of funds for MDM from State to Schools was found to be perfect. No discrimination on the basis of caste, community and gender was observed in cooking, serving, and sitting arrangement of MDM. Display of

18


MDM Logo was not found in any primary and upper primary school. The monitoring of MDM by the teachers, Parents, VECs and Panchayat / Urban bodies was generally satisfactory in majority of Primary and Upper primary schools barring few.

7. First Half Yearly Report of Monitoring and evaluation of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan in the state of Uttar PradeshSponsor : Department of Elementary Education and Literacy, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of IndiaProject Director : Prof. B. K. Bajpai

Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) is a centrally sponsored scheme of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, for the development of secondary education in public schools throughout India. The principal objective is to enhance quality of secondary education and increase the total enrolment rate from 52 percent (as of 2005–2006) to 75 percent in five years, i.e. from 2009 to 2014. It aims to provide universal education for all children between 15–16 years of age.

Institute has been appointed as a nodal agency and identified as lead agency for monitoring of RMSA programme in the state of Uttar Pradesh by the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. The selection of the schools for monitoring work has been done in accordance with the procedure elaborated in the MoU in consultation with the State Project Director, RMSA of Uttar Pradesh. For the evaluation of RMSA programme, the report includes five districts viz: Allahabad, Hardoi, Kaushambi, Raebareli and Partapgarh of Uttar Pradesh. The findings are as below.

a) Allahabad(Team Member: Dr. Kavita Baliyan)

Out of total sample schools, more than one - tenth schools in the district followed perspective planning, two-third schools adopted databases other than SEMIS for planning and budgeting. SMDCs were formed in all the sample schools. About 12 percent students travelled from a distance more than 5 kms to attend school. Again students from half of the sample schools faced natural/manmade barriers on their way to school. Two-third schools had a secondary school located at a distance of 3 to 5 kms while forone-fourth of the school this distance was more that 5 kms. No gender gap was found in Class 9 or 10 as the enrolment of girl students in the district was more than boys. No training programs were conducted by the schools for Out of Schools Children None of the sample schools . in the district had constituted guidance & counselling cell in the absence of any guideline from district regarding this. About 50 percent sample schools had teaching aids. SMDCs in all the schools were formed as per RTE norms.

19


b) Hardoi(Team Member: Dr. Kavita Baliyan)

Some of the important issues observed were lack of resources in the schools, lack of subject-wise teachers in the schools, lack of funds for school aid as no amount was released during 2013-14. The team found that no innovative proposals were submitted in the current and previous years but work under various components of innovative activities (under RMSA) has been completed. At the same time no effective monitoring and evaluation mechanism for implementation of innovation activities were put in place by the schools. School mapping had been completed at the district level and MIS at the district level was also in place. At the district level, establishment of new schools in remote/backward areas, promotion of girl education and enrolment of children from the disadvantaged groups were the major concerns. At the school level appointment of teachers for all subjects, promotion of quality education and community participation in school activities were main areas of concern.

c) Kaushambi(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

For the quality control of the education, as in other districts, in Kaushambi also, no research projects were undertaken during the financial year 2013-14 at the district level. At the community level, a research need for student retention and quality education was felt. At the DPO level, all schools maintained cash book. An updated stock register was available with 45 percent sample schools. Fund transfer to the SMDC account from SPO/DPO level was done through E-transfer. All the schools shared their expenditure statements with the community. No damage was found in any of the school buildings but only one-fifth sample schools had pucca building. Natural light and cross-ventilation was available in 100 percent sample schools but lighting facility was available in only 25 percent sample schools.

d) Raebareli(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

Most of the sample schools had teaching aids. All the classrooms had an appropriately located blackboard, natural light and ventilation in the classrooms. Except Government Girls Inter College and Government Inter College (GIC), most of the schools under RMSA had only one teacher. Teacher's diary was available in 44 percent schools. 100 percent schools encouraged discussions and team work and motivated student participation in the teaching-learning process. None of the sample schools arranged zero periods or extra classes for helping the academically weaker students. All the schools followed the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) method and grading system for evaluation. None of the sample schools had the facility of separate girls' hostel in campus or in a nearby area.

20


e) Partapgarh(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

Girl students from one- fourth of the sample schools faced physical barriers while coming to school. Most of the sample schools had separate toilets for girls and the number of toilets was adequate in 88 percent schools. No information regarding the total number of out of school children in the habitations was available as no census survey was done to gather this data. At the school level, no record of the number of children from BPL families was available. School dropouts were found more amongst girls than the boy students. No gender gap was found in Class 9 or 10 and the enrolment of girl students in the district was more than boys. There was no discrimination amongst students in any of the sample schools across social categories. Facilities for Children with Special Needs (CWSN) were found in more than three- fourth of the schools.

8. Second Half Yearly Report of Monitoring and evaluation of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan in the state of Uttar PradeshSponsor : Department of Elementary Education and Literacy, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of IndiaProject Director : Prof. B. K. Bajpai

For the evaluation of RMSA programme, the second half-yearly report includes four districts: Ambedkar Nagar, Ballia, Lucknow and Sitapur of Uttar Pradesh. The district- wise findings of the study are presented here.

a. Ambedkar Nagar(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

For none of the schools district perspective planning was done using SEMIS (School Education Management and Information System). However, school management and development committees (SMDCs) were formed in all the sample schools.Students from one- third sample schools faced natural/manmade barriers on their way to school. One-fourth of the secondary schools are located at a distance of 3 to 5 kms while some are located more that 5 kms away. There was no discrimination amongst students in any of the sample schools on the basis of their social category. Facilities for children with special needs (CWSN) were found in 80 percent schools. No information regarding the total number of out of school children (OoSC) in the habitations was available as no census survey was done to gather this data. At the school level, no record of the number of children from BPL families was available. Some efforts were made by the school management to bring the school dropouts back to school but they did not succeed in bringing back such children. No training programs were conducted by the schools for OoSc.

21


b. Ballia(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

No gender gap was found in the enrolment and percentage of girls was much higher than boys in this district. Girl students from 24 percent schools faced physical barriers while coming to school. Majority of sample schools had separate toilets for girls and the number of toilets in about 63 percent of the schools was reported to be adequate for the girl students. None of the sample schools in all the four districts had constituted guidance &counselling cell in the absence of any such guidelines from district. Students discussed their problem amongst their peers and with the teachers from time to time. About 48 percent classrooms of sample schools had teaching aids. Most of the classrooms had an appropriately located blackboard. Natural light and ventilation in the classrooms were found in all of the sample schools. SMDCs in all the schools were formed as per RTE norms. Some of the issues discussed in the SMDC meetings were school maintenance, promotion of enrolment of girl students, etc. But the overall level of community participation in school management has not been satisfactory.

c. Lucknow(Prof. B. K. Bajpai)

The financial management of sample schools was good in the district as cash book, pass book were updated on daily basis and bank reconciliation was done on monthly basis as per the records. Again all schools maintained a cash book and pass bookat the DPO level. Fund transfer to the SMDC account from SPO/DPO level was done through E-transfer. However, only 20 percent of the schools shared their expenditure statements with the community and none of the schools reported social auditing of their accounts. More than three- fourth funds were spent by the District Project Officer (DPO) in Lucknow district under RMSA. No minor repair grant was received by the schools of Ambedkar Nagar, Ballia, Lucknow and Sitapur districts in the financial year 2013-14. No innovative proposals were submitted in the current or previous year in the district of Lucknow. Study recommended for early recruitment of teachers to fill vacant positions, as lack of teachers is one of the biggest problem affecting quality teaching in the district.

d. Sitapur(Team Member: Dr. Kavita Baliyan)

Evaluation revealed lack of resources along with inadequate number of subject teachers in the schools. Again it was found that no amount was released during 2013-14 for school aid. The team found that no innovative proposals were submitted in the current and previous years.Trainings of teachers about Data Capture Format and Children with Special Needs were not conducted during the 2013-14 in the district. Again work under various components of Innovative activities remained pending in majority of the schools. School mapping had

22


been completed at the district level. Team found that data used for plan preparation at the district level were drawn from U-DISE, DSTO, DPRO, and BSA Office of the Secondary Education. Establishment of new schools in remote/backward areas, promotion of girl education and enrolment of children from the disadvantaged groups were the major concerns in the district. At the school level appointment of teachers for all subjects, promotion of quality education and community participation in school activities were main areas of concern.

9. Preparation of the Background Research Paper to Study on Economic Cooperation between India and Nepal through Uttar PradeshSponsor: Centre for Policy Research, New DelhiProject Director: Dr. Chittaranjan Senapati Co-director: Dr. N.K. Maurya

The study aimed to explore current status, challenges and opportunities in trade, investment and economic cooperation between India and Nepal through Uttar Pradesh. It attempted to give an account of formal and non- formal cross border trade and investment; explored other forms of economic cooperation; identified opportunities for expanding cross border cooperation; highlighted the constraints in achieving the potential cooperation and suggested possible measures for addressing these constraints. Main findings of the study show that there is great scope of enhanced trade activities between India and Nepal through Uttar Pradesh. Study pointed out that in order to reduce administrative and transportation cost of trade via Uttar Pradesh, capital investment for better road, rail and other supporting infrastructure is essential. More efforts are needed to provide irrigation facilities and hydro-energy generation across borders of Nepal and Uttar Pradesh. Further, opportunities of developing other border points should be given consideration. Study highlighted the existence of huge of informal trade between India and Nepal as a window of opportunity for both the countries. The study also identified potential threats of existing informal channels between the two countries like a parallel economy in the border region (in the commodity and agricultural markets) which flourishes due to open border violating rules and regulations on both sides. The study calls for close cooperation between two countries to plug in their respective economic leakages and strengthening development.

10. Reaching Out to the Child and Mother: An Evaluation of ICDS in Uttar Pradesh, Sponsor : Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi (Under Research Promotions Scheme)Project Director : Dr. Nomita P. Kumar

The study was conducted to gauge the efforts of the government regarding Child welfare Programme in Uttar Pradesh. Efforts were made to evaluate the extent of allocations, releases and utilization of funds as per the guidelines under various schemes of ICDS in Uttar Pradesh. The study analysed the extent to which the scheme of Supplementary Nutrition has generated the needed benefits to mothers and children and assessed the contribution of ICDS with reference to reduction of IMR, MMR, and retention of children of three to six year age group.

23


The study found that awareness about healthcare issues has gone up, but this knowledge does not get reflected at the operational level amongst women in the community. For example, the practice of squeezing out and throwing Colostrums persists. Again the immunization coverage is still far from universal. Study observed that effective implementation of a complex scheme like ICDS requires a strong system of monitoring and evaluation. Lots of furore is raised on the issue of selection of beneficiaries and hence the study suggested that Gram Sabha should take responsibility of this selection. Again, convergence between health departments, department of women and child development and ICDS should be undertaken for effective delivery of the services.

11. Understanding Pregnancy Nutrition and Health Care among Women in Rural Areas and Urban Slums in Uttar PradeshSponsor : University of Western Australia (jointly undertaken with Dr. Anu Rammohan, UWA) Project Director : Dr. Srinivas Goli (Draft Report Submitted).

Prior to initiation of a longitudinal survey, this pilot survey was conducted to understand pregnancy nutrition and health care among women in Uttar Pradesh with generous financial support from Western Australia University. For the pilot survey, information was collected from randomly selected 230 women, who came for delivery at the three hospitals, in the Lucknow city. Nutritional status, nutritional behaviour, needs and health care utilization among women during pregnancy and the postnatal period, and estimation of their socioeconomic and demographic causal factors in the low - income setting were the important issues in the pilot study. The study found that the nutritional intake and outcomes among women of lower socioeconomic status were significantly less in comparison with their counterparts in the households of higher socioeconomic status. Women from lower socioeconomic status displayed lower dietary diversity than women from higher socioeconomic status. The families of poor socioeconomic status were also spending relatively greater share of their income on maternity care than their counterparts. Financial incentives under Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) were too less to protect the families from the risk of catastrophic payments on Maternity care. The findings of this study have far-reaching policy implications.

12. A Study of Nari Adalats (Women's Court)Sponsor : Mahila Samakhya, UP, LucknowProject Director : Dr. Prashant Kumar Trivedi

Emergence of Nari Adalats is one of the most significant outcomes of Mahila Samakhya's intervention aimed at empowerment of women. The uniqueness of these community responses do not just lie in their role of filling the space created by inaccessible judicial system but also in articulating justice differently. Unlike formal system of justice a gender sensitive approach to women's life, liberty and dignity informs functioning of these community courts.

This study was undertaken to investigate dynamics of functioning of these forums in terms of their accessibility to women of diverse socio-economic backgrounds,

24


elements of democratic and collective functioning, composition of core team members, documentations processes, delivery of justice and its follow-up, nature and character of cases, efficacy of these forums in different situations etc. Besides epistemological basis of judgments and communication strategies were also explored.

Four districts Gorakhpur, Saharanpur, Sitapur and Chitrakoot were selected for the study. In each district, one 'Nari Adalat' (NA) was selected for indepth study. Considering nature of information required, the study collected qualitative data through Focused Group Discussion, indepth interviews with key informants and qualitative observation method. All the core team members of each selected NA were interviewed using interview guide. In addition, 5 cases from each NA were selected randomly for documentation of case studies.

Findings of the study indicate that these informal dispute redressal systems have been very effective in cases of violence against women especially domestic and sexual violence. These forums have closed linkages with community that makes them accessible to rural Dalit women. The study recommended providing support to these courts and bringing them in contact with formal judiciary to make them more effective.

13. Why Musahars Vote? - A Field Survey of Maharajganj District of Uttar PradeshSponsor : Giri Institute of Development Studies (An Internal Study)Project Director : Dr. Shilp Shikha Singh

The study attempted to explore the meaning of election for a community that lies at the margins of body politics. It examined their terms of engagement with this national celebration called elections in the absence of any electoral leverage. The study found that the ethos of democratic politics finds vibration at the margins of human society. The enthusiastic participation of Musahar community in the electoral politics is indicative of strong linkage between election and the everyday life of the community. Voting is not just another routine exercise for them but rather a well thought out action to persuade ends that are specific but have larger connotation of identity, recognition and respect. The study highlighted how the rhetoric of development, governance, secularism or even dalit identity fails to appeal their sensibility and their choices are weighed against the issues that are essentially local in all elections. While the community is seeking recognition, the parties are not bothered to reach out to them due to their small numbers. No campaigning at their doorsteps or an uncertain visit on the last day testifies the reluctance of parties to acknowledge their strength. They are presumed to be an adjunct community that would align with one or the other voting bloc or even if don't equations would remain the same. In spite of such reluctance the community hopes, it hopes the dream to nurture a strong tree on which they like creepers could climb.

ONGOING PROJECTS

1. Participation and Position of Women in the Uprising of 1857 Redefinition of Social Status: Then and NowSponsor : Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi Project Director : Dr. Kirti Narain (Retired Professor)

The nature of the Revolt of 1857 is a subject of constant debate among academics and non-academics and to arrive at a consensus is well-nigh impossible. However, the Revolt, Uprising, Revolution, First War of Indian Independence, whatever appellation one may give to this event, it still remains probably the most dynamic and known event of Indian social history. It forms a cusp between colonial stranglehold and the onslaught of the national movement.

The predominant strain in the study is the 'woman' factor, but this cannot be discussed in isolation. The term 'participation of women' has to be interpreted before a more detailed explanation is given. Women have been classified as significant players during the Revolt, as well as a part of the general social issues that affected them - issues that were prevalent as societal practices during that era. The continuance of issues that may be relevant today require serious attention. The monograph has been divided into nine parts; each part comprises chapters relevant to the broad theme encapsulated in the title. A section on the spread of the Revolt introduces the monograph. There are 18 chapters in all, and 3 parts with 5 chapters are devoted to known and unknown women heroes as well as those nameless women including dalit and tribal women who participated in some manner or the other. Women are also classified as royalty, courtesans, warriors, etc., all connected with the Uprising in myriad ways. Atrocities were inflicted by both Indians and Europeans, and Part 4 with chapters 6 and 7 analyze these. The presence of Indians loyal to the British limited the effectiveness of the Revolt. To provide a holistic tenor, Part 5 is assigned to the role that prominent men, like Nana Sahib Peshwa, Emperor Bahadur Shah and Wajid Ali Shah played, either as active participants or as catalysts. Part 6, with chapters 10, 11 and 12, tackle the post-revolt relationships between the rulers and the ruled, revealed in petitions that were made to the British government for allowances, restitution of lost land, etc.

Part 7 is arguably the most incisive and the longest section in the monograph. Titled, Social Practices and Social Status of Women: Then and Now, Chapter 13 tackles the social issues in 1857, and Chapter 14 is titled, Social Issues in Contemporary India: Status of Women & Social Reforms. The disturbing question that emerges is whether the social systems that were prevalent in the nineteenth century still exist in a veiled manner, and whether new issues have surfaced that have affected women in various ways, both regressively and progressively. Part 8 with Chapter 15 is totally different to the preceding parts. It is divided into 8 sub-sections. A look at the descendants of men and women present during the era of the Revolt, either as participants of just as onlookers, has been taken, and the inferences arrived at are based on personal interviews conducted with descendants of eight such families, famous and unknown. The information shared by them provided a deep insight into the condition, social status and social practices prevalent among the different classes or sections of society, 'then and now.'

26


Part 9 is the last part and is a fitting culmination to the issues dealt with in other parts. Titled, Expressions, it reflects different modes of media. Chapter 16 surmises and reflects on the print media that include newspapers, magazines and journals - like Oudh Akhbar published from Lucknow by Munshi Nawal Kishore - both in the vernacular and English, in the nineteenth century, especially at the time of the Revolt. Chapter 17 is more contemporary and puts forth the electronic media, encompassing films and documentaries, and theater and their projections of the Revolt. Chapter 18 is the last, and portrays the scenario in 1857, through diaries and letters by Englishwomen, both with regard to the life of Indian women in the zenanas, and their own experiences in India. The latter generally relate their anguish over the manner in which their lives transformed during the Revolt; some were heart-wrenching, and most were full of rancour at the loss of a loved one.

2. Job Search and Hiring Practices in Urban Labour Markets in India: How Inclusive is the Indian Private Industry?Sponsor : Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi Project Director : Prof. R.P. Mamgain

The study aims to understand the functioning of job search and hiring practices in the urban labour markets in select Indian cities with a special focus on marginalised groups. More specifically, the study aims to examine the nature, trends and structural changes in employment; occupational pattern and diversification therein; hiring practices by employers in the urban labour markets and their impact on participation of marginalised social groups; analyse the extent of various forms of job mobility, its determinants and impact on income of labour; assess the impact of educational and skill development on employability and earnings in urban labour markets; analyse the nature, form and magnitude of social discrimination in urban labour markets, its consequences on income and social status of labour; and examine the role of affirmative measures in promoting employment and social security to workers in urban areas.

The study is largely based on primary survey in six cities across four states in India. On the supply side, study plans to explore household characteristics of urban labour. On the demand side, it will be important to understand the hiring methods by firms, strategies of promoting social equity in their recruitments, employees' turnover/attrition, wages and challenges they face in hiring, etc. Equally important would be to study the functioning and efficacy of campus placement cells of educational institutions to know strategies and criterion for campus placements, the challenges which they face and selection rate.

3. Social and Educational Status of OBC/Dalit Muslims in Uttar Pradesh,Sponsor : Indian Council of Social Science Research, New DelhiProject Director : Prof. Surinder KumarCo- Director : Prof. FahimuddinAssociate - Director : Dr. Prashant Kumar Trivedi and Dr. Srinivas Goli

The study on social and Educational Status of OBC/Dalit Muslims in Uttar Pradesh has been sponsored by the ICSSR. The primary data has been collected from all the four

27


economic regions of the states, covering 7195 households. The sample included all the Socio-religious groups. The data entry has been completed and report writing is in progress. The preliminary findings have revealed that the social and educational status of Muslim OBCs is relatively poor in comparison with Hindu OBCs. The status of Muslim Dalits has been found to be worst when compared with the Hindus SCs and other socio-religious groups.

4. Second Half Yearly Report of Monitoring and evaluation of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in the state of BiharSponsor : Department of Elementary Education and Literacy, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of IndiaProject Director : Prof. B. K. Bajpai

The study under consideration for attaining the RTE norms for the quality control in elementary education identifies physical, social, cultural, linguistic and other barriers coming in the way of successful implementation of SSA in the light of RTE goals. The report includes four districts of Bihar. All the sample schools of the districts are selected randomly on the basis of laid down criteria. A total number of 160 schools, including primary and upper primary schools, KGBVs and RBCs have been selected for the study.

5. Second Half Yearly Report of Monitoring and evaluation of MDM in the state of BiharSponsor: Department of Elementary Education and Literacy, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of IndiaProject Director: Prof. B. K. Bajpai

The process of MDM evaluation is undertaken on a continuous basis, the study covers other four districts of Bihar same as in case of SSA. The purpose of MDM programme is to make available nutritious food to children enrolled in Class 1-8 in schools run through govt, local bodies, govt aided schools, govt aided maqtabs and madrasas, AIE centres and NCLP schools. It is done mainly to develop the grasping power of children by improving the nutrition level. Another purpose of the programme is to enhance the enrolment of children in schools and enhance their stay time in schools especially during interval and to reduce the drop-out rate. The study under consideration evaluates these issues across the selected districts and 160 sample schools of Bihar.

6. Impact Assessment of Disaster and Trends in Sustaining Recovery in Uttarakhand, Sponsor: Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi Project Directors: Prof. G.S. Mehta,Prof. R.P. Mamgain and Prof. I.C. Awasthi

As part of larger research programme on Uttarakhand Disaster of ICSSR, this study examines the nature and magnitude of losses of livelihoods, social, psychological and cultural impact of disaster and related issues and coping mechanism. The study would also measure the extent and type of rehabilitation measures undertaken by different agencies and their adequacy, acceptability and adaptability. The main focus here would be to map progress made in reconstruction of livelihoods and infrastructure in the affected villages, assess the role and contribution of different line departments and other institutions and

28


stakeholders in disaster management, analyse development plans and initiatives of the state and central government from the perspective of disaster management and sustainable development. The study would also assess strategies undertaken for the creation of local resource-based employment opportunities in the hill districts in general and disaster affected areas in particular and finally to suggest the kinds of measures to be initiated for rehabilitation and sustainable livelihood development in disaster affected villages.

The study is based on both secondary and primary data. Secondary data shall be obtained from the offices of different departments of State governments, from officials at the district, blocks, tehsil and village level. Primary data has been collected from a sample of 80 villages covering 1600 households across the disaster affected districts viz, Uttarakashi, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, Pithoragarh and Bageshwar. The study will be carried out in two phases. The survey work, tabulation and data analysis for the first phase has been completed. Advisory Committee meeting for the review of progress of the study was held on 15th January 2015 at the Giri institute of Development Studies, Lucknow. So far the immediate output of the project has been brought out in the form of an Occasional paper titled “Uttarkhand Disaster: Lessons and Way Forward” at GIDS. The survey of the second phase is to be initiated in the month of September 2015.

7. Private Enterprise Development among Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in India : A Comparative Study of Ownership, Productivity and Policy ImplicationsSponsor : Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi Project Director : Dr. R.C. Tyagi Project Advisor : Prof. R.P. Mamgain

The study aims to examine issues of developing a pro-poor policy for the enterprise development in the country. Its objectives include examination of the pattern of ownership of private enterprises across various social groups such as SCs, STs and Others and mapping the extent and nature of regional inequalities in ownership across states and rural-urban areas. The study would focus on disaggregate level of industrial classification across Indian states to understand ownership of enterprises by social groups and its pattern. With respect to nature of enterprises, employment, capital intensity and gross value added by owner of enterprises would be taken into account. It would also undertake examination of incidence of poverty among enterprises owned by SCs, STs and others across various industrial and occupational groups, in order to recommend policy measures and programmes.

In order to analyze the relative situation of the deprived social groups in comparison to the 'others' with respect to ownership of business, a parity index/ratio would be constructed. Further, variation in the ownership of business would be analyzed by working out the growth rates between 1990, 1998 and 2004-05. Primary data, both quantitative and qualitative, shall also be collected from industrial locations in urban areas through a semi-structured questionnaire (close and open ended). Secondary data for the study would be sourced from different Economic Census, NSSO and MSME

29


Census. During the current academic session primary data from six out of eight districts has been collected and the survey of two more districts are in progress. Some information on life histories of select persons to illustrate the cases of success and failures in enterprise development has also been collected.

8. Deprivation and Social Inclusion in India and KazakhstanSponsor : Indian Council of Social Science Research, New DelhiProject director : Dr. Chittaranjan Senapati

The study aims at measuring the scale and extent of deprivation and social exclusion in India and Kazakhstan and to formulate inclusive policies for the deprived. The objectives of the study include identification of causes and consequences of deprivation; identification of differences across groups such as older people/younger people/ disabled people/ethnic minorities/gender differences etc; and reviewing impact of current local policy initiatives on deprivation and social exclusion in both the country. Groups divisions along the lines of identity and culture have been focussed in the study to explore social exclusion. Deprivation in this study measured by using social exclusion and relative poverty criteria. In India and Kazakhstan poverty head count ratio is the standard scale to measure the poverty line. Poverty in Kazakhstan is measured solely in material and physiological terms, whereas, in India poverty has both its material as well as social dimensions. There are strong links between social exclusion and people's vulnerability to deprivation in both the country. The study is based on secondary data collected from several sources. The methodology used in this study is descriptive, historical and analytical in nature. Quantitative as well as qualitative techniques are being used in the study.

9. Muzaffarnagar Riots: Interrogating Political Dynamics of Religion and Caste of Western Uttar PradeshSponsor: Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi Project Director: Dr. Shilp Shikha Singh

Truth of riots remains under explained in theory and practice. Immediate trigger incidence often fails to explain specific riots. Recent upsurges of communal riots in Uttar Pradesh are defying old explanations and exhibiting new features. This calls for a deeper understanding of the process involved that prepare the ground for such violence and later consolidate its impact in terms of changed inter and intra-community dynamics. The projects aims to understand the underlying social, political and economic causes behind Muzaffarnagar violence, it attempts to map changing public religiosity of community. It would interrogate the use of new idioms pre and post violence for political mobilization and its impact on inter community relationship. Simultaneously it would examine the instrumentality of women's honour for communal riot and its impact on patriarchal practices within the community. The study is qualitative in nature based on ethnographic accounts and information gathered through secondary sources.

10. Assessment of the Household Healthcare Utilization and Burden of Healthcare Utilization and Burden of Healthcare Expenditure in Uttar PradeshSponsor: Indian Council of Social Science Research, New DelhiProject Director: Dr. Charan Singh Verma

This study has been initiated essentially to assess the nature of out of pocket payments of households on health care and examine its relationship with NRHM interventions in the selected three regions of Uttar Pradesh viz Aligarh, Hamirpur and Kushinagar. The aim of this study is to give new dimension to health economy of Uttar Pradesh especially in the area of policy formulation and implementation for health care services. This study also examines multidimensional aspects of health expenditure for social upliftment of victims of health shocks or health driven poverty. Focusing on trends of medical expenditure and pattern of diseases in three different regions of Uttar Pradesh this project also attempts to look at causes of high incidence of medical outpatients' treatments and health debt trap especially in rural areas. The project also looks at the financing pattern of health cost in selected three districts.

11. Governance, Growth and Fiscal Consolidation: A Study of Experiences of Sub-national Governments in IndiaSponsor: Indian Council of Social Science Research, New DelhiProject Director: Dr. Nagendra Kumar Maurya

The main objective of the study is to explore theoretical and empirical inter-linkages between quality of governance, growth and fiscal consolidation, especially, at sub-national level. The present study is based on the secondary data. The study proposes to prepare a quality of governance and fiscal consolidation data set with direct and proxy indicators at three points of time 2001-02, 2005-06 and 2011-12. In the study quality of governance and fiscal consolidation are being measured through composite indexes to capture the multidimensionality of governance and fiscal consolidation. The study uses simple percentage distribution, ratio analysis, the principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple regression technique. PCA is being used to construct composite index of governance. To measure the impact of governance and fiscal reforms on growth, multiple regression analysis is being employed.

12. An Assessment of Public Debt Sustainability of Uttar Pradesh,Sponsor : North Regional Centre, ICSSR, New Delhi Project Director : Dr. Nagendra Kumar Maurya

The study aims to study the fiscal performance of Uttar Pradesh during 1993-94 to 2013-14. It focuses on changing composition of debt and the term structure of interest and maturity. Study attempts to assess the sustainability of debt position of the Uttar Pradesh government, especially, in the light of state's FRBMA. The present study is based on secondary data. The study would prepare fiscal and debt data set with direct and proxy indicators. In this academic session different approaches were culled out from the available literature to debt sustainability. Primarily sustainability of UP government has been assessed by applying three commonly used approaches viz.

31


Domar sustainability condition, sustainability indicators analysis and budget constraints approach using Augmented Dickey Fuller unit root test and co-integration analysis. The data has been collected and the methodology will be executed soon.

13. Out Migration from Uttarakhand: Issues and Policy OptionsSponsor : Indian Council of Social Science Research, New DelhiProject Director : Prof. G.S. MehtaCo-director : Dr. Kavita Baliyan.

The study attempts to examine emerging trends, magnitude, motivating factors and reasons of migration on one hand and differences in socio-economic background of migrants and non-migrants on the other hand. The study also looks into the nature and type of relationship maintained by migrants with their natives, impact of migration in changing demographic pattern, income distribution at the natives and the kinds of policies and interventions to be initiated to attract return migration.

The study is based both on secondary and primary data. The collection of data has been completed and its entry has been initiated. The study covers four districts: two districts with negative growth of population viz Almora and Pauri Garhwal and two districts with highest growth of population viz Champawat and Uttarkashi.Household information has been collected through a sample of selected 60 villages. From each selected village, a sample of 15 migrant and 5 non-migrant households were randomly identifies for survey. Thus, in total four districts, 60 sample villages, 900 migrant and 300 non-migrant households for an in depth study was covered. Required information was also collected through key informant interviews and FGDs on changes in socio-economic developments in the sample villages, migration including return migration.

14. Drought Mitigation Programme in Bundelkhand Region of U.P. : A Vision Study Sponsor : Planning Department, Govt. of UP, Lucknow

Project Director : Prof. Surinder Kumar, Prof. G.S. Mehta and Dr. Nomita P. Kumar

The Bundelkhand development package was implemented in Uttar Pradesh for a period of three years in the year 2009-10. The programme completed during 2012-13. The necessity of the assessment of the implications of concerned package was realized in view of the possibility of its further continuation. Therefore, the Planning Department, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh asked Giri Institute to prepare a 'Vision Paper' on Bundelkhand Package. This vision paper basically examines the achievements, impact, deficiencies and gaps in the implementation of different sectoral projects and chalks out the 'Way Forward' to achieve the desired results.

For preparing the vision paper the study would evaluate structures of financing of different projects, efficiency and quality in utilization of funds, progress in completion of projects and problems experienced at different stages of the implementation and the quality of monitoring and review of projects by different stakeholders and officials. The document would analyse the impact of different projects undertaken within the package in terms of changes in land use pattern, agricultural technology, cropping pattern, irrigated area, yield rates and overall productivity trends of crops on one hand

32


and emerging improvements in socio-economic condition of beneficiary farmers on the other hand. A visit would be undertaken to assess the perceptions of beneficiaries regarding usefulness of different projects and impact of initiating projects in terms of increasing income and improvement in socio-economic conditions. Based on the above examination the paper would finally recommend kinds of measures to be initiated for achieving better results from the implementation of such packages in the future.

PANEL DISCUSSION

The Institute in collaboration with Centre for Equity Studies and UNICEF organized a panel discussion on 'Inequalities and Disadvantaged Communities in India: Lessons from the India Exclusion Report”.11 December 2014

GIDS in collaboration with Center for equity studies and UNICEF organized a panel discussion on Inequalities and Disadvantaged Communities in India. This event was

34


organised with the view to bring forth the issues of exclusion in the public domain for wider discussion and debate. The first Social Exclusion Report was also released on the occasion. Prof Surinder Kumar, Director Giri Institute of Development Studies chaired the panel and Ms. Niloufer Pourzand, Chief UNICEF Lucknow welcomed the guests. The panelist included Dr. N.C. Saxena a reputed ex-bureaucrat and Commissioner to the Supreme Court on the Right to Food case. Dr. Saxena delved on the issue of exclusion of women, tribals and urban migrants. He expressed his concern over declining share of women in employment and their lack of substantive right over property. He spoke on the exclusion of Muslims and deepening bias against them in public as a cause of concern for national integrity and human security. Examining the process of policy formulation, associated political concerns and its selective implementation he highlighted that in case of Urban Migrants, Women and Tribals policy itself is defective. Narrating his own experience of bureaucracy Dr. Saxena pointed out that government Ministries act as passive spending organs, instead of working as pressure groups. Speaking on the occasion Mr. Harsh Mander, Special Commissioner to the Supreme Court on the Right to Food case shared the conceptual framework of the Social Exclusion Report. He highlighted how exclusion framework helps in understanding poverty. Mr. Mander pointed out that poverty is not how people happen to be but is a result of certain deliberate exclusion of people from certain essential public goods. He shared that the report focuses on exclusion by the state which has an important bearing on exclusion by the society and market. He proclaimed that exclusion across public goods reveals a pattern whereby women, SC-ST and disabled constitute the core of excluded group.

Mr. Ashok Bharti, chairperson of the National Confederation of Dalit Organisations (NACDOR) shared his concern over excluded within excluded. He also expressed his concern over non-inclusion of the perspective of the excluded in the Social exclusion Report.

Dr. Sandeep Pandey an eminent social activist also contributed in the debate by sharing his experience of working with the urban poor. Ms. Arundhati Dhuru who is part of the National Alliance of People's Movements (NAPM) and is Uttar Pradesh State Advisor to the Commissioners of the Supreme Court in the Right to Food case also shared her concerns over the neoliberal policies of the state that by design aggravates and deepens exclusion.

The most touching moment of the discussion was the sharing of experience by Mr. Mohammad Aamir who spent 14 years as under trial in a terror case. A resident of Sadar Bazar Delhi Aamir narrated his story of illegal arrest as a teenager, torture by police, and condition of social boycott for the family. He expressed the need for a policy of rehabilitation for people like him, who lose everything in this battle of justice.

The event was attended by more than 80 participants including senior academicians who have been active members of Lucknow intelligentsia, and faculty members of Lucknow University, Ambedkar University, I.T College and civil society members.

First two days of the workshop focused on theoretical underpinnings of research methodology in social sciences. Along with the theoretical perspectives day one and two also included lectures on critical issues of social sciences. On day three and four the course took first plunge into the techniques of research with lecture on qualitative techniques. Day five of the workshop was a shift from qualitative to quantitative techniques In line with the 4th, 5th and 6th day of the workshop day seven focused on a theme to unravel different modes/perspectives of researching in social sciences. Second half of day seven was spent in paper clinics, wherein parallel sessions were run in two batches/slots, with atleast two resource persons and three to four presenters in each session. On eighth day of the workshop SPSS was introduced and a generic introduction to descriptive data analysis was given to the participants. Day nine was spent by the participants, in learning participatory research techniques viz PRA and RRA. Day nine of the workshop was again a plunge into the quantitative techniques.

ACTIVITIES OF POST DOCTORAL AND SENIOR FELLOWSHIP MEMBERS

1. Dr. (Mrs.) Ruchi Tiwari ( UGC- Post Doctoral Fellow)

Research Topic : Quality of Life Among School Age Children and their Schooling in the District of Lucknow; A Geographical Study.

Supervisor : Prof. B.K. Bajpai

For a country to prosper the quality of life of its citizens should be improved, especially of children. If children are provided with proper care, shelter, health, education spiritual and cultural guidance by parents and friends then their quality of life may improve. The government of India has plethora of programmes to bring about uniformity in education and health but still huge gaps persist.

This study investigates quality of life in view of eight dimensions i.e.,food and clothing, health, social support and peer (community life),recreation and leisure, personality/ behavior, family relationship/ home environment, household amenities and quality of schooling of age group of 6-14 years of various caste, creed and class of the chosen geographical location. This research project will assess steps taken by the government, post independence to strengthen the human resource and educational base of the school going children including the scheduled caste/scheduled tribes, minority and other backward classes of rural and urban area. The research is based on collection (from secondary and primary data), compilation, computation, analysis and interpretation of primary data collected through questionnaire. Statistical methods are being utilized for clear representation of primary data along with remote sensing techniques like GIS. This project will enable to highlight the regional disparities and formulate plans for active action.

2. Dr. Neelam Agarwal(Post Doctoral Fellow, ICSSR)

Research Topic: Forest Rights Act and Tribal Development in Forest Villages: A Study of Tharu Adivasi in Uttar Pradesh

Supervisor: Prof. Surinder Kumar

The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 (or simply Forest Rights Act - FRA), provides for restoration of traditional forest rights to forest dwellers across India, including individual rights to cultivated land in forested landscapes and collective rights to control, manage and use forests and its resources as common property. Also, it directs to conversion of all forest villages into revenue villages with all development infrastructure as per requirement and possibility.

The present study is an ethnographic study.The study will try to explain the scenario before and after the implementation of the FRA, 2006 in the context of Tharu tribe, who are potential beneficiaries under FRA, residing in forest villages, in and around Dudhwa National Park (district Lakhimpur Kheri) and Sohelwa Wild Life Sanctuary (district Balrampur) of Uttar Pradesh.

The study aims to describe the actual process of implementation of FRA, 2006 at different institutional levels and its impact on livelihood, migration and socio-cultural life of the Tharu adivasis. It also aims to study the progress made in the conversion of forest villages into revenue villages in this tribal belt, and its consequences on the tribe, forests and environment.

The study is expected to be of vital importance for understanding the dynamics of tribal development in forest villages. It would also help in examining the tribal problems to evolve a roadmap for mainstreaming of tribals.

Research Topic:Fertility Differentials: An Inter-district Study of Uttar Pradesh

Supervisor: Prof. G.S.Mehta

Uttar Pradesh is one of the most populous states in India, where demographic transition has been slow. Fertility estimates for the state of Uttar Pradesh are of particular interest because Uttar Pradesh has the largest population and the highest fertility of any Indian state. High fertility has adversely influenced the socio-economic, demographic and environmental development of the state.The pace of level of fertility transition in UP has remained relatively unexplored and has received very little attention.Present work focuses upon the populous and backward state of UP.

This study aims to analyse trends, differential in TFR at the district level. The study will also reveal rural -urban disparity in TFR. In this study we will examine the trend in fertility rate since 1971.

The study will utilize secondary source data for this purpose. To assess the relative positions of the districts in terms of TFR data for the years 1971, 1981, 1991 2001 and 2011 will be taken from Census of India, Statistical Abstracts of Uttar Pradesh and other published Reports of government /Non government departments.

AUDIT REPORT

The Director,Giri Institute of Development Studies,Lucknow

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Giri Institute of Development Studies, Lucknow which comprises of the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015 and the Statement of Revenue Account for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material mis-statement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material mis-statement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the

73


accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. On this basis revenue and the related assets are recognized when they earned rather than when they received and the expenses are recognized when obligation is incurred rather than when they are paid.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanation given to us, the said financial statements read with the significant account policies and notes to account thereon, give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India subject to Notes on Accounts:

a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs as on 31st march, 2015;andb) in the case of the Revenue Account, of the surplus for the year ended on 31st March, 2015.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1) We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit.

2) In our opinion proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the institute so far as appears from our examination of those books.

3) The Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenue Account dealt with by this Report are in agreement with the books of account.

GIRI INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES

NOTES TO ACCOUNTS ANNEXED TO AND FORMING PART OF THE BALANCE SHEET AS AT 31ST MARCH' 2015

The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Institute in the preparation and presentation of financial statements:-

1. DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Financial Statements are prepared under the Historical Cost Convention and in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

1.2 The Institute is following accrual basis of accounting and recognised income and expenditure accordingly. However certain expenses like Telephone expenses, Computer AMC are accounted for on cash basis of method of accounting therefore no provision has been made for the same.

1.3 The Depreciation has been charged on the assets on W.D.V. basis as per rates prescribed under Income tax Rules 1962.

1.4 Building includes Institute Building, Hostel cum Guest House and residential quarters of Director and staff. Since bifurcated figures of residential and non residential building is not available, therefore depreciation on complete building has been charged at the rates prescribed for non residential building i.e. @ 10%.

1.5 The Grants received by the Institute from ICSSR and U.P. Government during the year have been credited to Income & Expenditure Account. However, Grants received for Projects and Fellowship have been credited to Income & Expenditure Account to the extent they have utilized and remaining unspent Grant has been reflected in Balance Sheet under Current Liabilities.

1.6 Consumables like stationary postage etc. has been debited to Income & Expenditure Account at the time of payment made and the Inventory at the end of the year has not been accounted for.

2. NOTES ON ACCOUNTS

2.1 The Financial statements include the Balance Sheet, Income & Expenditure Account, Consolidated Receipts & Payments Account and Receipts & Payments account of Recurring maintenance Head, Non Recurring maintenance, Sponsored Projects and ICSSR Fellowships. The financial statements also include the accounts of the Corpus Fund being maintained by the Institute.

2.2 The Grant for Corpus Fund have been capitalized and invested with Union Bank of India in the form of Fixed Deposit. The Interest earned on Corpus Fund has been shared in Revenue and Capital in the ratio of 2:1. Thus, 1/3rd of Interest earned during the year from Corpus Fund Investment has been capitalized and credited to Capital Reserve.

83


2.3 The Board has approved a sum of 2% of Annual salary Paid during the year to Institutes Employees to be deposited in a Reserve Fund, earmarked to meet the obligation of payment of retirement benefits to the employees like encashment of earned leave etc. However, this payment has not been made to the fund account during the current year.

2.4 Cost of building and EPBAX has been fully met out from the Capital Grant (Capital Reserve) received from ICSSR and U.P. Government. Therefore, the amount equivalent to depreciation chargeable on these assets has been credited to Profit & Loss Account out of the Capital Reserve in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India for 'Accounting for Capital Based Grants'. Since, residual amount of capital grant has been utilized for Furniture & Fittings, which is mere a part of the total furniture & fittings, hence credit out of Capital Reserve for depreciation chargeable on proportionate value of Furniture & Fittings has not been given in Financial Statements.

2.5 Accounting Standards prescribed by the Institute of Chartered accountants of India have been followed wherever applicable.

2.6 Debit and credit balances in personal accounts are subject to confirmation and/or reconciliation.

2.7 The Fixed Asset Register showing full particulars of assets alongwith its location and situation has not been maintained by the Institute.

2.8 Bank Reconciliation Statements showing few very old entries of cheques issued but not presented for payment. The appropriate steps required to be taken in this regard by the management.

2.9 The Institute does not have any policy in respect of Travelling Advances and adjustment thereof.

2.10 As per Income and Expenditure Account of the Institute for F.Y. 2014-15, expenditure incurred by the Institute amounting to Rs. 400.10 Lac (excluding expenditure related to Projects and Fellowships) and Fixed Assets purchased during the year amounting to Rs. 53.65 Lac. Against these payments cheques amounting to Rs. 103.75 Lac (around 22.87%) have been issued on last day of the Financial Year i.e. on 31st March 2015 and pending in Bank Reconciliation Statement. Further cheques related to Projects and Fellowships amounting to Rs. 11.49 Lac have been issued on last day of the year.
