programmes in the Ministry.
(i)
Monitoring Mechanism
3. The Ministry of Rural Development places special emphasis on
Monitoring and Evaluation of its programmes being implemented in rural
areas all over the country, particularly in view of the substantial step up in the
allocation of funds under various Rural Development Programmes over the
years. The success of the programmes largely depends on the effective
delivery system and efficient implementation at the grass root level so that the
programme benefits reach the rural poor in full measure. In order to ensure
this, the Ministry has evolved a comprehensive multi-level and multi-tool
system of Monitoring and Evaluation for the implementation of its
programmes. The salient features are as under:
i) There is an in-built monitoring mechanism in the guidelines of each
Scheme of the Department so as to ensure that the objectives of the
Schemes are achieved by their implementation.
ii) Besides visiting States/UTs , the Minister of Rural Development and the
Ministers of State for Rural Development periodically review the
performance of programmes with the Chief Ministers, Ministers and
officials of the State Governments concerned with the implementation
of the programmes.
iii) Continuous monitoring through periodical progress reports received
from the State Governments depicting both the financial and physical
progress of the programmes. The Ministry has streamlined the data
processing system to ensure that Monthly Progress Reports are
received by 10th of every month.
iv) Furnishing of Utilisation Certificates, Audited Accounts and other
requisite reports are a pre-condition for the release of the second and
the subsequent instalments of grants-in-aid under the Schemes
v) The officers dealing with the implementation of the programmes at State
Headquarters visit the districts regularly to ensure that the programmes
are being implemented satisfactorily.
vi) The „Area Officers Scheme‟ introduced by the Ministry aims at
monitoring the major programmes of the Ministry with special
reference to quality, adherence to implementation schedule, flow of
funds, proper utilisation of funds and achievement of physical and
financial targets etc., through field visits. Officers visit their assigned
State and districts at regular intervals and the important observations
(ii)
of such teams are shared with the State Government concerned,
advising them totake appropriate corrective measures, wherever
shortcomings are noticed.
vii) A Performance Review Committee under the chairmanship of Secretary
(RD) periodically reviews the performance of various programmes
being implemented by the States and recommends corrective action
wherever found necessary.
viii) In order to minimize time lag in receiving progress reports of all the rural
development programmes, and improve the quality of reporting, one
Nodal Officer from each State co-ordinates with all the concerned
Departments implementing rural development programmes in the
respective States and attend the monthly review meetings.
ix) With a view to fulfill the objective of ensuring quality in implementation,
particularly in the context of large public funds being spent under the
programmes of the Ministry, the Vigilance & Monitoring Committees
are constituted for providing a crucial role for the Members of
Parliament and elected representatives of the people in State Legislatures
and Panchayati Raj Institutions in the implementation of the Rural
Development Programmes.
x) A panel of National Level Monitors (NLMs) by involving ex-
servicemen and retired civil servants has also been constituted to
ensure effective implementation of rural development programmes
in transparent manner and strictly in accordance with programme –
wise guidelines.
xi) Concurrent Evaluation studies are undertaken through reputed and
independent Research Institutions/Organisations from time to time to
evaluate the performance of various Rural Development Programmes at
the field level, to assess the impact of the programmes.
4. The existing Monitoring Systems in the Ministry have been explained
in detail in Chapter VII.
Public Information System
5. Information, Education and Communication (IEC) plays a vital role in
creating awareness, mobilizing people and making the development
participatory throughadvocacy and by transferring knowledge, skills and
techniques to the people. Moreover, IEC plays two most important
(iii)
roles – informative and persuasive and as such is crucial for bringing about
requisite social mobilization and facilitating participatory development.
6. The Ministry is responsible for planning and executing IEC activities to
create awareness about the programmes of the Ministry primarily amongst the
target groups in the rural areas. IEC activities assume more significance in the
context of the programmes of the Ministry which aim at improving the socio-
economic conditions and which need to be implemented effectively in a time
bound manner.
7. The Ministry has a well laid IEC strategy to disseminate information
through both the traditional as well as modern media of communication viz
press, radio, TV, printed material, outdoor publicity, folk and other traditional
media etc.
8. In view of the magnitude of the task of reaching out to rural poor with
information on rural development programmes and to mobilize participation
of other segments of the society in rural development, IEC activities have
been substantially scaled up. IEC activities undertaken by the Ministry are
outlined in detail in Chapter VII.
(iv)
CHAPTER – I
INTRODUCTION
The basic function of the Ministry of Rural Development is to realise
the objectives of alleviating rural poverty and ensuring improved quality of life
for the rural population, especially those below the poverty line. These
objectives are sought to be achieved through formulating, developing and
implementing programmes relating to various spheres of rural life and a range
of activities from income generation to environmental replenishment.
2. The Ministry consists of the following two Departments:-
(i) Department of Rural Development
(ii) Department of Land Resources
3. The Department of Rural Development implements schemes for
generation of self-employment and wage employment, provision of housing to
rural poor, construction of rural roads and improving the socio-economic
condition of the rural poor by providing social assistance to the elderly, widow and
the disabled persons. Apart from this, the Department provides support
services such as assistance for strengthening of DRDA Administration,
training & research, human resource development, development of voluntary
action etc. for proper implementation of the programmes. It also undertakes
IEC activities to promote awareness about rural development programmes in
rural areas.
4. Department of Land Resources implements schemes to increase the bio-
mass production by developing wastelands and degraded lands in the country.
It also undertakes development of desert areas and drought prone areas in the
country. The Department also provides support services and other quality
inputs for land reforms, betterment of revenue system and land records.
5. The Parliament approved the historic legislation, Mahatma Gadhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in 2005 which was
notified on 7th
September, 2005. The Act provides a legal guarantee of at least
100 days of wage employment in every financial year to every rural
household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The
Act was implemented in 200 districts in first phase with effect from 2nd
February, 2006. Additional 130 districts of the country were covered in the
second phase during 2007-2008. All the remaining rural areas/districts of the
country have been brought under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA with effect from
April 1, 2008.
1
6. Mahatma Gandhi NREGA is premised on demand for employment.
The instrument of employment generation is unskilled manual labour works
relating to water conservation, drought proofing (including afforestation/tree
plantation), and rural connectivity through all-weather roads. The Act also
has elaborate transparency safeguard measures through a number of processes
such as job cards, work applications, dated receipts, numbered muster rolls,
timely payment, social audit and grievance redressal.
7. NRLM was launched in June 2011 after restructuring Swarnajayanthi
Grameen Swarojgar Yojana (S.G.S.Y). It was further restructured in May
2013, based on the experience of implementation in the first two years of the
Mission. The objective of N.R.L.M is to organize all rural poor households of
the country and continuously nurture and support them till they come out of
abject poverty.
8. NRLM seeks to reach out to 8 – 10 crore rural poor households and
organize one woman member from each household into affinity based women
SHGs and federations at village level and at higher levels by 2021-22. While
doing so, NRLM ensures adequate coverage of vulnerable sections of the
society such that 50% of the beneficiaries are members of the Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes, 15% from minority groups and 3% from persons
with disability, while keeping in view the overall target of 100% coverage of
the rural poor households identified through Participatory processes and
approved by Gram Sabha.
9. The SHGs and their federations promoted under NRLM are expected to
provide a close and long term handholding support to each of their members
and enable them to access financial services from banks, diversify and stabilize
their livelihoods and effectively access their entitlements. The objective is to
ensure that each family, once it is in the S.H.G network for a period of 6 – 8
years, is able to achieve household food security and have 3 – 4 stabilized
livelihoods. A strong convergence with P.R.I s is an important feature of the
program. The financial assistance under NRLM would be shared between the
centre and states in the ratio of 75:25 except North Eastern States including
Sikkim and Jammu & Kashmir where the funding ratio is 90:10.
10. As part of the National Rural Livelihood Mission, a placement
linked skill development component has also been implemented. 25% of total
NRLM funds has been provisioned for skills and placement project. The skill
development programme seeks to build the skills of the rural youth and place
them in relatively high wage employment sectors of the economy. Deen Dayal
Upadhyaya Grameen Koushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY), the Placement Linked
Skill Development scheme for rural poor youth, gives young people from poor
2
communities an opportunity to upgrade their skills and enter the skilled work
force in growing sectors of the economy. The programme is implemented in
partnership with people, private, non-government and community
organizations. Strong relationships are being built with industry associations
and employers.
Two special initiatives, viz., Himayat & Roshni are operational to give special
focus to skill development in Jammu & Kashmir and in 27 LWE districts in
nine States.
Himayat was launched by the Union Ministry of Rural Development in
Srinagar on 21st August 2011 for giving training and placement to one lakh
youth in Jammu & Kashmir in a period of 5 years. It is 100% central assistance
scheme.
Roshni was launched by MoRD on 10th June 2013 in a bid to further
reach out to rural youth in the country‟s 27 most critical Left-Wing-
Extremism-affected districts.
11. Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP) is a sub –
component of the NRLM to meet the specific needs of women farmers and
achieve socio-economic and technical empowerment of the rural women
farmers, predominantly small and marginal farmers. New livelihood based on
Non Timber Forest Produce (NTFP) has also been included under MKSP. A
new livelihood on non-farm to strengthen the livelihoods of women rural
artisans and weavers is also being planned.
12. Rural Self Employment Training Institute( RSETI) is another
component of NRLM to set up Rural Self Employment Training Institute
(RSETI) in each district of the country in collaboration with the banks and the
State Governments to provide training to the rural youth from the poor
households to enable them to take up in-situ self employment. The RSETIs‟
core strength is short term residential training with long handholding support.
In few instances, the RSETIs also offer off-site training at village/block levels.
RSETIs offer training in different vocations classified under agriculture,
process, product and general Entrepreneurship Development Programme.
13. As a result of the Cabinet decision for restructuring Centrally Sponsored
Schemes, the erstwhile Centrally Sponsored Scheme called DRDA
Administration has been brought under the umbrella of NRLM from 2014-15.
3
Henceforth, the DRDA Administration will be a component of NRLM. In
order to strengthen the District Rural Development Agencies (DRDAs) and to
make them more professional and effective, a new centrally sponsored scheme,
namely, DRDA Administration was introduced from 1st April, 1999. Under
the scheme, grants are released to DRDAs to meet their salary and contingent
expenses. The mandate of DRDAs is to effectively manage and implement the
anti-poverty programmes of the Ministry of Rural Development and interact
with other agencies.
14. Housing is a fundamental human need; a basic requirement for human
survival and decent life. A home contributes significantly to well being and is
essential for a person's social and economic development. It supports
livelihoods, promotes social integration and investment in rural housing
stimulates local economic development. Government through Indira Awaas
Yojana envisions to provide adequate, affordable and comfortable homes to
every shelter-less person; promote inclusive and sustainable habitats,
facilitating all-round development of the family and community through a
process that is proactively inclusive, participatory and socially just.
15. The Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY) is a flagship scheme of the Ministry of
Rural Development to provide affordable housing to all rural poor across the
country. Under the scheme, financial assistance is provided to shelterless rural
BPL households for construction of dwelling units. The ceiling for
construction of a new house is Rs.70,000/- per unit in plain areas and
Rs.75,000/- in hilly/difficult areas/Left Wing Extremists affected districts. For
upgradation of a kutcha / dilapidated house, Rs.15,000/- is provided. Sanitary
latrine is now a mandatory requirement of an IAY house in convergence with
„Swachh Bharat Abhiyan‟. The grants under the scheme are released by the
Centre and States in the ratio of 75:25. However, in the case of North-Eastern
States, the funding is shared in the ratio of 90:10 by the Centre and the States.
In case of UT‟s, the entire funds are provided by the Centre.
16. For the poorest of the poor who are landless and do not have house-
sites, assistance of Rs 20,000/- for purchase of a housesite is also provided
which is shared on 50:50 basis between the Government of India and the
States.
17. Since inception of the scheme in 1985, a total of 3.32 crore houses have
been constructed with a total Central assistance of Rs. 93686.92 crore.
18. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is a Centrally Sponsored
Scheme with the objective to provide all-weather road connectivity to all
4
eligible unconnected habitations, existing in the Core Network, in rural areas
of country. The programme envisages connecting all eligible unconnected
habitations with a population of 500 persons and above (as per 2001 Census)
in plain areas and 250 persons and above (as per 2001 Census) in Special
Category States (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram,
Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and
Uttrakhand), Tribal (Schedule-V) areas, the Desert Areas (as identified in
Desert Development Programme) and in Selected Tribal and Backward
Districts (as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs/Planning
Commission). The PMGSY permits upgradation (to prescribed standards) of
existing rural roads in districts where all the eligible habitations of the
designated population size have been provided all weather road connectivity.
For most intensive IAP blocks as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs
the unconnected habitations with population 100 and above (as per 2001
census) would be eligible to be covered under PMGSY.
19. According to figures made available by the State Governments under a
survey to identify Core Network as part of the PMGSY programme and after
revision of the Core Network 1,78,184 habitations were eligible for coverage
under the programme. These habitations were targeted for providing road
connectivity under PMGSY. The programme also has an „Upgradation‟
component with a target to upgrade 3.75 lakh km of existing rural roads
(including 40% renewal of rural roads to be funded by the States) in order to
ensure full farm to market connectivity.
20. National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) is a social assistance
programme for the aged, widows, disabled and to the families in the case of
death of the breadwinner belonging to Below Poverty Line (BPL) Households.
This schemes has been launched keeping in view the spirit of Article 41 of the
Constitution of India which directs the State to provide public assistance to its
citizens in case of unemployment, old age, sickness and disablement and in
other cases of undeserved want within the limit of its economic capacity and
development. There is no State share in the schemes of NSAP, however, State
have been advised to top up at least an equal amount from their own resources.
21. Presently NSAP comprises of the following schemes for Below Poverty
Line Households (BPL):
i) Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme (IGNOAPS):
Under the scheme, assistance is provided to person of 60 years and
above and belonging to family living below poverty line as per the
criteria prescribed by Government of India. Central assistance of Rs.
200/- per month is provided to person in the age group of 60-79 years
and Rs. 500/- per month to persons of 80 years and above.
5
ii) Indira Gandhi National Widow Pension Scheme (IGNWPS): Under
the scheme Central assistance @ Rs. 300/- per month is provided to
widows in the age-group of 40-79 years and belonging to family
living below poverty line as per the criteria prescribed by Government
of India.
iii) Indira Gandhi National Disability Pension Scheme (IGNDPS):
Under the scheme Central assistance @ Rs. 300/- per month is
provided to persons aged 18-79 years with severe and multiple
disabilities and belonging to family living below poverty line as per
the criteria prescribed by Government of India.
iv) National Family Benefit Scheme (NFBS): Under the scheme a BPL
household is entitled to lump sum amount of money on the death of
primary breadwinner aged between 18 and 59 years. The amount of
assistance is Rs. 20,000/-.
v) Annapurna: Under the scheme, 10 kg of food grains per month are
provided free of cost to those senior citizens who, though eligible
remained uncovered under the erstwhile National Old Age Pension
Scheme.
22. States/UTs have been recommended to make at least an equal
contribution from their own resources under all three pension schemes.
23. The NSAP Scheme which was launched as Centrally Sponsored Scheme
in 1995 was converted into State Plan in the year 2002-03. The funds for the
implementation of these schemes were released as Additional Central
Assistance (ACA) to the States by the Ministry of Finance and by Ministry of
Home Affairs to Union Territories in a combined allocation for all the schemes
under NSAP. From the year 2014-15, the scheme of NSAP has again been
converted into a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) and funds would be
released by the Ministry of Rural Development to the States / UTs.
24. The Gram Panchayats / Municipalities are expected to play an active
role in the identification of beneficiaries under NSAP. The State Governments
communicate eligibility criteria to the Gram Panchayats / Municipalities so
that identification can take place in the Gram Sabhas by the Gram Panchayats
and in the neighborhood / mohalla committee by the Municipalities in line
with criteria for identification.
25. NSAP is being implemented mainly by Social Welfare Departments in
the States. In some States it is being implemented by Rural Development
6
Departments and in a few by Women and Child Development Departments.
26. A Scheme namely „Management Support to Rural Development
Programmes and Strengthening of District Planning Process‟ has been
introduced from 2007-2008, which primarily focuses on the following:
(a) Training and skill development of Rural Development functionaries and
members of Panchayati Raj Institutions in rural development at Centre,
state and District/Block level by providing financial support to State
Institutes of Rural Development and Extension Training Centres apart
from organization of training courses/seminars/workshops relating to
rural development programmes.
(b) Creating awareness amongst the target groups of Rural Development
Programmes and mobilizing them towards participatory development;
sensitizing opinion makers, urban elites about issues relating to Rural
Development and creating awareness amongst the general public.
(c) Evolving a comprehensive system for effective monitoring and
evaluation of various rural development programmes through periodical
progress reports, annual conferences, workshops and seminars and
inspection through field visits by Senior officers of the
Ministry, besides carrying out in-depth studies in the form of concurrent
evaluation and impact assessment studies through reputed and
independent research organizations to ascertain the impact of these
programmes.
(d) Exploiting the advances of Information Technology for effective
implementation of Rural Development Programmes.
(e) Promoting Regional and International exchange of experience of India
on mutual and multi-lateral basis in the field of rural development with
other developing countries with overall objective of Capacity Building of
functionaries involved in rural development.
27. A Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC 2011) has been launched on
29th June 2011 in the country which would be carried out by the respective
State/Union Territory Governments with the financial and technical support of
the Government of India. Socio Economic and Caste Census consist of Census
in Rural areas and Urban areas in connection with identification of BPL
households and Caste Census throughout the country. Socio-Economic and
Caste Census 2011 (SECC 2011) is being carried out in all States/UTs in a
phased manner taking into consideration their preparedness and other relevant
considerations.
7
28. The SECC 2011 is being conducted in six stages viz. enumeration,
supervision, verifications & corrections, draft list publication, claims and
objections and final list publication which is being carried out by the
respective State/Union Territory Government with the financial and technical
support of the Government of India. The first three stages are completed in
most of the Sates/UTs. As on 15.12.2014, 'Draft List' has been published in
446 districts in 32 States/UTs and „Final List‟ in 96 districts in 10 States/UTs.
Taking into consideration the progress made by the States/UT, the Census is
likely to take at least 3-4 months.
29. Under the Department of Rural Development there are three autonomous
bodies viz. Council for Advancement of People‟s Action and Rural
Technology (CAPART), National Institute of Rural Development (NIRD) and
National Rural Roads Development Agency (NRRDA).
30. The Council for Advancement of People‟s Action and Rural
Technology (CAPART) located at New Delhi has been set up to encourage
participation of voluntary agencies in rural development and also to provide
financial assistance to them for their rural development projects.
31. The National Institute of Rural Development (NIRD), Hyderabad is
engaged in planning and co-ordination of national level training research and
action research in the field of rural development.
32. The National Rural Roads Development Agency (NRRDA) at New
Delhi is another autonomous body extending support to the Pradhan Mantri
Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) through advice on Technical Specifications,
Project Appraisal, appointment of part time Quality Control Monitors,
Management of Monitoring Systems etc.
33. The SPMRM was announced in the Budget of 2014-15 to ensure
delivery of integrated project based infrastructure, development of economic
activities and skill development in rural areas. The Mission Objective of the
scheme is:
To improve quality of life/standard of living in Rurban clusters.
To bridge the rural –urban divide
To reduce migration from rural to urban areas and eventually to
facilitate reverse migration.
The process of firming up of scheme-modalities is underway.
34. With a view to fulfill the objective of ensuring quality in
implementation, particularly in the context of large public funds being spent
8
under the programmes of the Ministry, the Vigilance & Monitoring
Committees are constituted for providing a crucial role for the Members of
Parliament and elected representatives of the people in State Legislatures and
Panchayati Raj Institutions in the implementation of the Rural Development
Programmes.
35. A panel of National Level Monitors (NLMs) by involving ex-
servicemen and retired civil servants has also been constituted to ensure
effective implementation of rural development programmes intransparent
manner and strictly in accordance with programme guidelines.
Important Programmes
36. The Department implements the following major programmes :
(i) Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
(Mahatma Gandhi NREGS)
(ii) Aajeevika - National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM)
(iii) Indira Awaas Yojana(IAY)
(iv) Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)

(ix) Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission (SPMRM)
Implementing Agencies
37. The programmes of rural development are being implemented through
the State Government/U.T. Administrations. At the District level, the Zila
Parishad/District Rural Development Agencies and down below the
Intermediate Panchayat / Block Development Office at Block level and
Village Panchayat at village level implement the programmes.
9
Transmission of Funds to the Implementing Agencies
38. Till 2013-14, the Central assistance was directly provided to the
implementing agencies at District level in respect of programmes like Rural
Housing(IAY) and DRDA Administration etc. In the case of MGNREGA, the
Central assistance was provided to State Rural Employment Guarantee Fund and
in the case of PMGSY, the Central assistance was provided to State Rural
Road Development Agencies. In the case of Aajeevika-NRLM Central assistance
was provided to State Agencies viz SRLMs. However, in the light of the Cabinet
decision for restructuring Centrally Sponsored Schemes requisite systems have
been placed to ensure that Central Assistance in respect of all the major schemes
of Department viz. MGNREGA, IAY, NRLM, PMGSY and NSAP is transferred
to the States through Consolidated Fund of States from 1st April, 2014 through
R.B.I. Nagpur.
39. In order to minimize the delay in transmitting the funds to the
implementing agencies, the Ministry has shifted to e-payment mode from the year
2006-2007 which involves Core Banking System (CBS) network of accredited
banker of the Ministry and Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) Mode being
provided by Reserve Bank of India to other banks.

CHAPTER – II
Outcome Budget for 2015-2016
***
The Ministry of Finance has introduced „Outcome Budget‟ as a
mechanism to measure the development outcomes of all major programmes.
The exercise is primarily meant to convert financial outlays into measurable
and monitorable outcomes. It is a performance measurement tool that helps in
better service delivery, decision making, evaluating programme performance
and results and improving programme effectiveness. The Outcome Budget is
also aimed at changing the outlook of the agencies entrusted with the
responsibility of programme execution and implementation. The idea is to
make the programme implementing agencies more result oriented by shifting
the focus from „outlays‟ to „outcomes‟.
2. The target groups under various programmes are rural poor covering
different sections of the society including SCs, STs and rural women. The
programme guidelines incorporate certain provisions for focused attention on
these groups and the outcomes under these programmes are specifically
monitored to ensure that adequate benefits of the programmes flow to them.
The Scheme-wise details of the Outcome Budget for the year 2015-2016 are
indicated in the attached Statement.

CHAPTER – III
REFORM MEASURES AND POLICY
INITIATIVES
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act (Mahatma Gandhi NREGA)
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
(MGNREGA) with its legal framework and rights-based approach was notified
on September 5, 2005. It aims at enhancing livelihood security by providing at
least one hundred days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to
every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual
work. The Act covered 200 districts in its first phase, on February 2, 2006, and
was extended to all the rural districts of the country in phases.
2. The Mahatma Gandhi NREGA is a demand based programme, hence,
requirement of funds and employment generation depend on demand for work.
However, the financial outlay (B.E.) under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA for
2014-15 was Rs.34,000 crore. However, budget provision at RE Stage has
been reduced to Rs.31000 crore.
Recent Initiatives to Strengthen MGNREGA:
3. Over the last few years, based on reports from the field and research
inputs on implementation issues and challenges, the Ministry has taken
following initiatives to strengthen the program implementation at grassroot
level.
a. Intensive and Participatory Planning Exercise (IPPE): IPPE was
initiated to prepare the labour budget for financial year 2015-16 in
selected 2500 Blocks consisting of around one lakh Gram Panchayats.
The main objective of the IPPE was to prepare the shelf of work which
reflects the true concerns and needs of the people. The entire exercise
was realized using participatory rural appraisal techniques. It is
expected that works demanded by the villagers through a participatory
method will increase its relevance and durability.
b. Emphasis on Agriculture and Allied Activities under Mahatma
Gandhi NREGA: To minimize the impact of drought on the agriculture
productivity States have been suggested to ensure that at least 60% of
the works taken up in a district in terms of cost shall be for creation of
productive assets directly linked to agriculture and allied activities
through development of land, water and trees. 25
c. Emphasis on Convergence through Proper Implementation of State
Convergence Plan: Convergence has been identified as one of the
thrust areas under MGNREGA by the Ministry. As such, all States were
requested to hold State level Convergence Workshop involving Line
Department and, based on discussion draw up a State Convergence Plan
with clear cut methodology of implementation. So far 21 State
Convergence Plans have been formulated with renewed focus on the
need to create sustainable assets. The proper implementation of State
Convergence Plan is extremely crucial. Every State has designated a
senior officer as a State Nodal officer for convergence.
d. Line Departments as Programme Officers for Projects/ Works
Executed by the Line Departments: To ensure that convergence with
the Line Departments takes place smoothly and works are implemented
effectively, States have been suggested to designate officers of Line
Departments as a Programme Officer. The designated Officer will not
be below the rank of Block Development Officer. It has also been made
clear that all the works executed by the Line Departments will comply
with all the provisions of the MGNREG Act/ Schedules including
provisions of delay compensation and mandatory social audit.
e. Outcome Orientation in Works under MGNREGA: To improve the
productivity and quality of the assets created under MGNREGA it has
been made mandatory (with effect from 1st October, 2014) to record the
„Expected Outcomes‟ at the time of creation/ execution of a work. For
the assets where it is difficult to assess and quantify the outcomes, a
qualitative note on the expected and actual outcomes should be
recorded.
f. Provision for Payment of Technical Assistants/ Barefoot Engineers
from the Material Component of the Work: To ensure that adequate
funds are available for filling up all positions of technical manpower
(core staff) States have been suggested the following:
a. All positions of Technical Assistants / Barefoot Engineers @ one
for every 2,500 active job cards shall necessarily be filled by the
State Governments.
b. The cost of Technical Assistants / Barefoot Engineers is allowed
to be met from the material components of the works.
g. Special Financial Assistance for Staffing of Social Audit Units: For
effective implementation of the Audit of Scheme Rules, 2011, financial
assistance under a special project has been provided to the States for the
engagement of social audit resource persons at the State and District
levels.
26
h. Use of Machine under MGNREGA (clarification): To create
sustainable assets under MGNREGA, the Ministry has issued
clarification on the use of machines where it becomes essential for
maintaining quality and durability of the works. Use of machinery
should be subject to adopting the machine rate, as per the prevailing
SOR of the Line Departments in the area (and not unskilled manual
wage rate) in the estimate. In addition States have been suggested to use
machine for works which are to be executed within a very short period,
where speed of execution is most critical (like the works in a flood
prone area).
i. Operationalisation of Cluster Facilitation Team (CFT): To synergise
the functioning of MGNREGA and NRLM so as to substantially
enhance the quality of assets being created in the MGNREGS and
thereby ensure better sustainability of rural livelihoods, a project for
convergence of MGNREGS and the National Rural Livelihoods Mission
(NRLM) has been operationalized in 250 most backward blocks of the
States through CFTs with the support of Civil Society Organisations.
j. Dashboards for MGNREGA: To make NREGASoft more user friendly
and to use data mining techniques for a decision support system
Dashboards have been created separately for each level of
implementation viz., Gram Panchayat/ Block/ District/ State and
National level.
Apart from this, a public portal has also been made available on
MGNREGA website which allows preparation of reports as per the
requirements of the State Governments and implementing agencies.
k. Plan of Action for Road Side Tree Plantation under MGNREGA: To provide sustainable, productive and green assets for livelihood of the
rural poor and promote ecological balance by promoting soil/water
conservation works alongwith tree plantations, a plan of action for road
side tree plantation under MGNREGA has been issued. Road side
plantation will not only create productive assets but will also check the
deterioration of roads and will contribute to strengthening ecological
balance and reducing global warming. To start with, States were
suggested to go for road side plantations on PMGSY and National
Highway roads under MGNREGA in a systematic and planned way.
l. IEC: During the last one year, the Ministry could streamline the IEC
activities of MGNREGA, in a systematic way. The Division developed
a National IEC Action Plan for MGNREGA and started implementing
it. This was developed based on the IEC strategy developed during
2013. The Division worked rigorously with the States for preparing
27
their State IEC plans, exclusively for MGNREGA. Each State Plan was
analysed by the Division twice before being finalized by the Ministry.
For follow up, the States were requested to nominate State IEC Nodal
Officers for MGNREGA. Frequent review meetings – at New Delhi
and via video conference – were conducted on a monthly basis and as a
result all States/UTs prepared their IEC plans and started implementing
those. In order to strengthen the monitoring of IEC activities happening
at State and sub district levels, a web based management information
system was developed. The States and Districts can enter the details
which can be monitored at State level and National level.
The MGNREGA Division also started publishing a quarterly newsletter
exclusive on MGNREGA - SARANSH. This was aimed to share and
disseminate experiences, success stories and updates regarding
MGNREGA to the grass roots level. The Division also established its
presence in the social network sites through its facebook page,
www.facebook.com/IndiaMGNREGA
As part of implementing its IEC strategy, the Division initiated various
mass media campaigns focussing on the 9 key messages of MGNREGA.
These campaigns were carried out by the IEC Division of the Ministry.
The aim of these campaigns was to make people aware about their rights
and make them empowered on how to evoke their rights.
m. Welfare measures under MGNREGA are elaborated in Paragraphs 25 to
28, Schedule II of MGNREGA 2005. The details of such welfare
measures for the workers at work places are:
(i) Free medical treatment to a person in case of personal injury
arising out of and in course of his/her employment.
(ii) Hospitalization of the injured worker including accommodation,
treatment, medicines and payment of daily allowance which is not
less than half of the wage rate.
(iii) Ex-gratia as per entitlements under Aam Aadmi Bima Yojana or
as may be notified by Central Government to a person if he/she
while employed under the Scheme meets with death or becomes
permanently disabled.
(iv) Free medical facility/ex-gratia to an injured child accompanying a
person who is employed under the scheme.

RURAL HOUSING (INDIRA AWAAS YOJANA)
4. Housing is one of the basic requirements for human survival. For a
normal citizen, owing a house provides significant economic security and
dignity in society. For a shelter less person, possession of a house brings about
a profound social change in existence, endowing the person with an identity
and integration with immediate social milieu. The Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY)
is a flagship scheme of the Ministry of Rural Development to provide houses to
the poor in rural areas.
Reforms, Measures & Policy Initiatives
5. The new policy initiatives taken under IAY are as under:
(a) From the financial year 2014-15, IAY funds are being released to the
Consolidated Fund of the States and not to the District Rural
Development Agencies as was being done till last year.
(b) Following amendments have been made to the IAY guidelines from the
financial year 2014-15:
(i) Priority in allotment of IAY house is given to the beneficiaries of
those Gram Panchayats identified under Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana
(SAGY) by the Hon‟ble Members of Parliament.
(ii) Tibetan refugees have been included in the list of eligible
beneficiaries of IAY.
(c) Following are some other major changes made in the IAY guidelines
recently:
Special Projects:
6. Five percent of IAY allocation is retained at the Central level as reserve
fund. Special Projects for utilizing the reserve fund can be submitted by the
States/UTs for the following purposes:-
(1) Rehabilitation of BPL families affected by natural calamities.
(2) Rehabilitation of BPL families affected by violence and law and order
problems.
(3) Settlement of freed bonded labourers and liberated manualscavengers.
29
(4) Settlement of particularly vulnerable tribal groups.
(5) New technology demonstration – especially with focus on affordable
and green technologies.
(6) Rehabilitation of people affected by occupational diseases like silicosis,
Asbestos, people affected by overuse of pesticides etc. or people
affected in an epidemic of diseases like Kala-azar
(7) Settlement of households benefited under The Scheduled Tribes and
Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights)
Act,2006, commonly known as FRA beneficiaries
(8) Settlement of people forced to relocate in districts along the international
border.
Empowered Committee
7. To consider the special project proposals, an Empowered Committee
chaired by Secretary (RD)/Additional Secretary (RD), has been constituted
with the following members,
i. Joint Secretary (Rural Housing)
ii. Adviser (Planning Commission)
iii. Representative of HUDCO
iv. Representative of Knowledge Network
v. Representatives of two eminent NGOs from the field of building
construction
vi. Secretary dealing with Rural Housing, of the state concerned
vii. Representative of I.F.D.
8. The Empowered Committee may invite experts as required to assist it in
its meetings.
The functions of the Empowered Committee are:-
(i) To approve State„s criteria for determination of difficult areas
(ii) To decide on targets for completion of houses and for new
construction
(iii) To approve any alternative formula adopted by States for the
district-wise allocation of targets.
30
(iv) To decide on reallocation of funds
(v) To sanction special projects for the 5% allocation
(vi) To clear special projects for subsidy-linked schemes availing bank
loans
(vii) To permit cash payments temporarily in exceptional case
(viii) To permit transfer of Central share by state agency in a single
instalment to difficult areas
(ix) To approve new construction technologies proposed by State
Governments which have not been approved by any technical
body
(x) To review the programme, suggest studies etc.
(xi) To issue clarifications in matters where there are genuine
difficulties in operationalising the guidelines.
Timelines for construction:
9. Generally, subject to weather and other factors, the stages of
construction should be managed within the following timelines:
Stage Level Time limit
Stage 1 Construction up to lintel
level
Nine months from date of
release of first installment
Stage 2 Completion Nine months from date of
release of second installment
Completion
10. Completion of a dwelling unit normally should not take more than two
years from the date of sanction of first installment. However, since the
beneficiaries are from the BPL category who often find it difficult to mobilize
the resources equired to complete the house, cases of delay must be monitored
and the beneficiaries facilitated to complete the house within a maximum
31
period of three years. On completion of an IAY dwelling unit, the Zilla
Parishad concerned should ensure that for each house so constructed, a display
board is fixed indicating the IAY logo, year of construction, name of the
beneficiary etc. The expenditure on this account can be met from the funds
available under the scheme. The cost of each logo should be fixed by the State
Government but the central share shall not exceed Rs.100/- from the
programme fund.
AAJEEVIKA- NATIONAL RURAL LIVELIHOOD MISSION (NRLM)
11. The Ministry of Rural Development has restructured the Swarnjayanti
Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) as National Rural Livelihoods Mission
(NRLM) to implement in a mission mode and in a phased manner for time
bound delivery of results. NRLM has now been renamed as „Aajeevika‟. The
objective of NRLM is to reduce poverty by enabling the poor households to
access gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities
resulting in appreciable improvement in their livelihoods on a sustainable
basis, through building strong and sustainable grassroots institutions of the
poor.
12. Following are the key components of NRLM:
Promotion of Institutions of the Poor:
13. Building strong quality institutions of the poor such as Self Help Groups
(SHGs) and their federations at various levels is an important of component of
the Mission. The institutions are expected to empower the poor and act as
instruments of knowledge and technology dissemination, and hubs of
production, collectivization and commerce. In addition, Aajeevika is expected
to promote specialized institutions like livelihoods collectives, producers‟
cooperatives/companies for livelihoods promotion for deriving economies of
scale, backward and forward linkages, and access to information, credit,
technology and markets. The livelihood collectives enable the poor to optimize
their returns from limited resources. There are already existing institutions of
the poor women (SHGs) formed by Government efforts and efforts of NGOs.
Aajeevika seeks to strengthen all such existing institutions of the poor as well.
Training, Capacity building and Skill Building:
14. Aajeevika ensures that the poor are provided with the requisite skills for
managing their institutions, managing their existing livelihoods, enhancing
32
their credit absorption capacity and credit worthiness, linking up with
markets, etc. A multi-pronged approach is adopted for providing continuous
capacity building of the targeted families, SHGs, their federations, government
functionaries, bankers, NGOs and other key stakeholders. The focus of the
Mission is on developing and engaging community professionals and
community resource persons (CRP) for capacity building of SHGs and their
federations and other collectives. Aajeevika is making extensive use of ICT to
make knowledge dissemination and capacity building more effective.
Revolving Fund and Community Investment Support Fund:
15. A Revolving Fund (RF) (of Rs. 10,000 - 15,000/SHG) is provided to
each eligible SHG as an incentive to inculcate the habit of thrift and
accumulate their own funds towards meeting their credit needs in the long-run
and immediate consumption needs in the short-run. RF is an additional corpus
and used for meeting the members‟ credit needs directly and as catalytic
capital for leveraging repeat bank finance. Funds to the community are also
provided under the Mission in the form of Community Investment support
Fund (CIF). CIF is routed to the SHGs through the federations (primary and
secondary levels). The CIF is used to advance loans to the SHGs and by SHGs
to the members. CIF is a resource in perpetuity with the federations.
Interest Subvention:
16. NRLM has a provision for interest subvention to all women SHGs. The
districts have been classified as Category I and Category II Districts, according
to the modality of interest subvention being provided. In 2013-14,150 districts
(including 82 Integrated Action Plan districts and 8 districts under the World
Bank Supported NERLP) were identified as Category I districts. In category I
districts, all women SHGs can avail loans up to Rs. 3 lakh per SHG at 7% rate
per annum. Further, these SHGs are eligible for an additional interest
subvention of 3% on prompt repayment of loan, reducing the effective rate to
4%. An announcement was made in annual budget FY 14-15, that an
additional 100 districts are to be classified as Category I districts.
17. In the Category II districts (remaining districts), all women SHGs
meeting the NRLM eligibility norms can avail loans up to Rs. 3 lakh per SHG
at 7% interest rate per annum.
Mahila Kisan Shashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP),
18. Mahila Kisan Shashaktikaran Pariyojana(MKSP), launched in 2010-11,
is a special programme for livelihood enhancement under NRLM. It is a
33
concerted effort to recognize the role of women in agriculture and an
investment is being made to enhance their capacities and increase their income
to take lead in agriculture and allied activities. It envisions additional
household food and nutrition security for poor and poorest of poor and
additional income of Rs. 30,000-Rs 50,000 per annum for each household. It is
expected that over the period of project implementation, at least two
livelihoods for the poor will be strengthened. An important deliverable for all
the interventions undertaken under MKSP is creation of trained social capital
in the form of Community Resource Persons (CRPs) from the pool of
community best practitioners of eco-agriculture, livestock practices and NTFP
activities. Its primary focus is on promoting and facilitating the scaling-up of
successful small-scale projects with the help of NGOs, CBOs and other
government agencies across the country. It is envisaged that these projects
would emerge as scalable models and resource centres.
Ultra-poor livelihoods strategy roll out in resource blocks:
19. NRLM has promoted a focused strategy towards ultra-poor households
in the resource blocks of states like Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand,
Madhya Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir, where sufficient social mobilization
has been done, with the support of CRPs from SERP. SERP is NRO for
supporting the roll out of Ultra-poor strategy in the states. The vision of this
strategy is articulated as follows:
a. Assured incremental income and food security-income stability
throughout the year for the Ultra-poor households
b. Creation of Social capital in the form of Community Resource
Persons (CRPs) in every village from the pool of best
practitioners of sustainable agriculture, NTFP and livestock
activity
c. Every rural poor household is supported on at least two primary
sector livelihoods (agriculture, NTFP and livestock).
d. In 2015-16, it is planned to cover six new states- Karnataka, Uttar
Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal, Haryana and Maharashtra.
Infrastructure creation and Marketing support:
20. NRLM provides for meeting the infrastructure needs for the major
livelihoods activities of the poor. It also provides support of their products for
marketing to the institutions of the poor. The range of activities under
34
marketing support includes market research, market intelligence, and
technology extension, developing backward and forward linkages, building
livelihoods collectives and supporting their business plans. NRLM encourages
and supports partnerships with public and private organizations and their
networks/associations for these activities, particularly for market linkages.
20% of the state‟s program outlay (25% in case of North-Eastern States and
Sikkim) may be utilised for this purpose.
Skills and Placement Projects:
21. The Placement Linked Skills scheme has been revamped as Deen Dayal
Upadhayaya Grameen Koushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY). The skilling program
for rural youth has now been refocused to build the capacity of rural poor
youth to address the needs of global skill requirements. 25% of total NRLM
allocation is earmarked for DDUGKY
22. The Ministry has identified four Project Implementation Agencies
(PIAs) as “Champion Employer”, i.e. M/s Amalgamated Bean Coffee Trading
Co Ltd (Café Coffee Day), Apollo Med Skills, Manpower Group Pvt Ltd and
M/s Shiva Shakti Bio Tech Ltd. These “Champion Employers” have
individually committed to providing 10000 jobs in next two years with career
progression.
MoRD has prepared and notified Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
for Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) in July
2014. The SOP lays down protocols and service standards for implementation
of DDK-GKY.
Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs):
23. NRLM encourages public sector banks to set up RSETIs in all districts
of the country. RSETIs transform unemployed rural youth in the districts into
confident self-employed entrepreneurs through need-based experiential
training program followed by systematic handholding support and bank
linkage. Banks are involved in selection, training and post training follow-up.
RSETIs partner with others, including the institutions of the poor, to realize
their mandate and agenda.
Innovations:
24. Aajeevika believes that successful innovations can reduce the learning
curve for poverty eradication by showing a different pathway out of poverty.
5% of the Central allocation is, therefore, earmarked for innovations. Those
35
innovations, which have the potential for reaching out specifically to the
poorest or for reaching out to the largest number of poor and having maximum
impact with limited resources, would be preferred and supported.
REFORM INITIATIVE UNDERTAKEN
25. The following major reforms in the programme designing were carried
out in May, 2013 based on implementation experience:
i. The identification of target groups for NRLM was changed to a
process of Participatory Identification of Poor (PIP) approved by
Gram Sabha.
ii. The capital subsidy for the programme was substituted with
Community Investment Support Fund which remains in perpetuity
with the SHGs and their federations.
iii. The allocation for Skills and Placement projects was increased from
15% to 25% of the annual allocation under NRLM.
iv. Higher allocation to Jammu & Kashmir to cover 2/3rd
of the rural
households under NRLM within the next five years and change in
the pattern of funding between the Centre and State from 75:25 to
90:10.
v. A new National Level Society has been set up to provide technical
and professional support to the National and State Rural Livelihoods
Missions.
PRADHAN MANTRI GRAM SADAK YOJANA (PMGSY)
26. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched on 25th
December 2000 as a fully funded Centrally Sponsored Scheme to provide all
weather road connectivity in rural areas of the country. The programme
envisages connecting all habitations with a population of 500 persons and above
in the plain areas and 250 persons and above in the hill States, the Tribal
(Schedule V) areas and the Desert (as identified in the Desert Development
Programme) Areas. Recently, programme guidelines have been amended to
include the habitations having population of 250 persons and above in Left
Wing Extremism affected districts, as identified by the Ministry of Home
Affairs, for coverage under PMGSY.
36
27. Measures taken to ensure quality and transparency under PMGSY are as
follows:
Three tier quality control mechanism:
28. For ensuring high level of quality in works, PMGSY programme
guidelines have the provision for three tier Quality Control Mechanism. The
first two tiers of the Quality Control Structure are overseen by the State
Quality Coordinators, appointed by the State Governments. The first tier of
quality control mechanism is in-house quality control at the level of executing
agencies. The field laboratories are established by the Contractors and
mandatory tests on the quality of material and workmanship are conducted
under the supervision of Programme Implementation Units (PIUs). Quality
Control Handbooks have been prescribed and test records are maintained by
the PIUs in the prescribed Quality Control registers. The second tier provides
for 100% quality monitoring of all PMGSY works by the State Governments
through independent State Quality Monitors (SQMs). SQMs are deployed to
ensure that quality issues are properly being attended to at the first tier. The
third tier of this arrangement consists of quality monitoring of works through
random inspections by independent National Quality Monitors (NQMs).
Observations of National Quality Monitors are handed over to the PIUs
immediately after inspection for taking appropriate action. The Action Taken
Reports (ATRs) are prepared and sent to the NRRDA (National Rural Road
Development Agency) through State Quality Coordinator. If defects in the
work are rectified and the action of rectification is verified by independent
quality monitors in the subsequent inspections, the „Unsatisfactory‟ grading of
the work is improved to „Satisfactory‟ grading. NRRDA monitors the
submission of ATRs and States are appraised of the status of ATRs.
New Policy Initiatives:
29. Some new policy initiatives under PMGSY are as under:
i. Revision of Core Network by including Left-Out Habitations.
ii. Special Dispensation to Arunachal Pradesh by extending the cluster
approach from International Border blocks to International border
districts.
iii. Union Cabinet approval for covering unconnected habitations with
population of 100 persons and above in the intensive LWE affected
blocks [as identified by MHA].
37
iv. Nomenclature of Hill States changed to Special Category States-
Benefitted to Assam [both PMGSY-I& II]. 11 such Special Category
States – 8 NE States and Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal
Pradesh.
v. One Time Special assistance to Jammu & Kashmir for funding land
acquisition under PMGSY for an amount of Rs. 710 crore
vi. Tree plantation on flanks of PMGSY Roads in convergence with
MGNREGA.
vii. Provision of Bandhara (water storage facility) on the bridges being
constructed under PMGSY.
Standard Bidding Document
30 A Standard Bidding Document (SBD) has been prescribed to facilitate
open tender and award of works under PMGSY. Works are awarded through
open electronic tender and as per the criteria given in the SBD. Evaluation and
acceptance criteria have been incorporated in the bid document in order to
have greater transparency in award of works. Necessary Modifications in the
Sub-contracting clause of SBD prescribed under PMGSY to ensure good
quality of Construction and maintenance of rural Road has been issued on 22
October, 2012.
On-line monitoring
31. A Web-based on-line monitoring system (web address –
www.omms.nic.in and www.pmgsyonline.nic.in) has been developed to
facilitate timely monitoring of works under PMGSY. Monitoring modules
include Connectivity Status, Procurement Status, Physical and Financial
progress, Accounts and Quality monitoring etc. The entire database has been
placed in the Citizens‟ domain. The web site is www.omms.nic.in. e-Payment
and e-Procurement are the new dimensions being integrated to it. PMGSY-II
has been launched in the year 2013-14 and accordingly requisite modules for
data entry of proposals have been developed and uploaded on OMMAS.
32. In order to enhance monitoring & evaluation under PMGSY and
PMGSY-II, OMMAS-II has been launched with updated module.
Citizen information boards
33. Citizen information boards are displayed in local language at prominent
locations in the benefited habitations indicating the volume of materials used
38
in each layer of the pavement and physical and financial details of particular
road. Public Affairs Centre, Bangalore has in collaboration with State Rural
Road Development Agencies initiated a pilot in states of Rajasthan,
Meghalaya and Jharkhand under RRP-II to involve the citizens in monitoring
of PMGSY roads.
Inspection of PMGSY works by public representatives
34. State Governments have been advised to arrange joint inspection of
ongoing as well as completed works under PMGSY by Hon‟ble MPs, Hon‟ble
MLAs and functionaries of Panchayati Raj Institutions.
Maintenance
35. All PMGSY roads are covered by a 5-year maintenance contract,
entered into along with construction contract, with the same contractor, in
accordance with the Standard Bidding Document (SBD). Maintenance funds
to service the contract are budgeted by the State Governments. On expiry of
5-year post-construction maintenance, the State Governments make necessary
budget provision to place such roads under zonal maintenance contracts. In
order to bring the execution of PMGSY works to the desired quality standard,
a three tier quality management mechanism has been institutionalised. Under
the first tier, the Programme Implementation Units (PIUs) are required to
ensure process control through mandatory tests on material and workmanship
at field laboratory. The second tier is a structured independent quality
monitoring at the State level through State Quality Monitors (SQMs) to ensure
that every work is inspected at initial stage, middle stage and final stage of the
construction. Under the third tier, independent National Quality Monitors
(NQMs) are deployed for random inspection of road works to monitor quality
and also to provide guidance of senior professionals to the field functionaries.
Consolidation of rural road through PMGSY-II
36. It has been launched to consolidate the existing rural road network. It
aims to cover upgradation of existing selected rural roads based on a criterion
to make the road-network vibrant. The selection of routes would be with the
objective of identification of rural growth centres and other critical rural hubs,
rural places of importance (connectivity to other growth poles, market, rural
hub, tourist places etc.). Development of Rural Hubs & growth centres are
crucial to the overall strategy of facilitating poverty reduction through creating
rural infrastructures. Growth centres/rural hubs provide markets, banking and
other service facilities enabling and enhancing self employment and livelihood
facilities.
39
37. Under the 12th five year plan period (2012-2017) coverage of overall
50,000 km road length by upgradation to consolidate the rural road Network
under the PMGSY-II programme at an estimated cost of Rs. 33,030 crore (at
2012-13 prices), including administrative and management cost of Rs. 530
crore has been taken for all the States/UTs. The cost will be shared between
the Centre and States/UTs on 75:25 for the Plain Areas and 90:10 basis for the
Special Areas. The estimated Central Share is Rs. 27,022 crore (at 2012-13
prices), including administrative and management cost of Rs. 530 crore. State-
wise length of road work to be covered under PMGSY-II is as follows:

NATIONAL SOCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME (NSAP)
39. Article 41 of the Constitution of India directs the State to provide public
assistance to its citizens in case of unemployment, old age, sickness and
disablement and in other cases of undeserved want within the limit of its
economic capacity and development. Directive Principles of State Policy
enshrined in the Constitution of India enjoin upon the State to undertake within
its means a number of welfare measures. It is in accordance with these noble
principles that the Government of India introduced National Social Assistance
Programme (NSAP) in 1995.
New Initiatives
Comprehensive National Social Assistance Programme
40. On the direction of the Union Cabinet, a Task Force was constituted in
November, 2012 under the Chairmanship of Member, Planning Commission to
prepare a proposal for a comprehensive National Social Assistance
Programme. The Task Force considered all the issues, demands and
suggestions relating to social assistance / security / pensions, received from
various quarters and submitted its report to the Ministry inter-alia
recommending, expanding the scope of coverage and enhancing the quantum
of pension. The recommendations of the Task Force have been examined in
detail in the Ministry of Rural Development and accepted with certain
modifications. Further action has been initiated to take the approval of the
Competent Authority through the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC).
41
Conversion of scheme into CSS
41. The 66 Schemes which have been approved by Cabinet as Centrally
Sponsored Schemes (CSS) includes NSAP (which was previously under State
Plan). Subsequent to NSAP being converted into CSS of Ministry of Rural
Development, revised guidelines have been prepared in consultation with
States. After considering the views/comments of the States / UTs , the
Guidelines have been finalised, and have also been uploaded on the Ministry‟s
website.
Use of IT – NSAP/ MIS
42 In order to increase transparency, accountability and monitoring of
implementation of NSAP schemes, Ministry with the assistance of NIC has
developed a work flow enabled software- NSAP-MIS . The software captures
all the essential processes and includes modules on identification, sanction and
disbursement of pension, , verification of pension, updation of data, seeding of
Aadhaar numbers etc.
43. Data base of 208 lakh beneficiaries has so far been uploaded.
Information can be accessed at the NSAP website http://nsap.nic.in. Legacy
data format has also been provided to States and they have been requested to
upload the legacy data of beneficiaries in a time bound manner. State
Informatics Officers (SIOs) and Nodal Departments in States have been
directed to work closely and to effectively use NSAP-MIS. Data of
beneficiaries are being uploaded on NSAP website (http://nsap.nic.in). States
have also been requested to start using NSAP software to generate pension
payment order and disbursement details. States that have their own software
have to develop interface software to port implementation details onto NSAP
Website.
44. An additional field for entry of Aadhaar Number has also been added in
the pensioner master table. Aadhaar seeding of more than 17.5 lakhs
beneficiaries has been done and is progressing. Integration of NSAP-MIS
with PFMS has been done for payment of pension directly to the bank
accounts of the beneficiaries, based on Aadhaar and NEFT / RTGS.
45. In July 2013, DBT had been launched in 121 pilot districts of the
country covering 26 States / UTs. The same has now been extended to 300
districts w.e.f. November, 2014, which has further been extended to 676
districts vide Department of Expenditure O.M. dated 12/12/2014. . The bank
accounts of beneficiaries are being brought under Direct Benefit Transfer
(DBT) so that the pension is directly transferred into the accounts of the
42
beneficiaries by the disbursing office. As per NSAP-MIS, direct transfer of
pensions into accounts of pensioners, as on 15th December,, 2014 was
Rs.1316.06 crore and the number of pensioners was 61.12 lakhs.

The Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) has been
restructured and implemented as the National Rural Livelihoods Mission
(NRLM), since FY 2011-12. Formally launched on 3rd June 2011, 27 States
and I Union Territory have transited to NRLM, after establishing dedicated
Mission architecture and related systems, while State of Goa and other UTs are
expected to transit to NRLM during the current financial year. The Planning
Commission has approved an outlay of Rs. 29006 crores for NRLM for the
12th plan period. Government of India has signed an agreement with
IDA/World Bank in July 2011 for credit of an amount of US $ 1 billion to
supplement the resources for 13 high poverty States, which has since been
reduced to US $ 500 million.
Objective, Scope and Key Principles
2. The NRLM aims at reducing rural poverty by enabling poor households
to access gainful self-employment and skilled wage employment opportunities.
The Mission has been designed to bring about a sustainable improvement in
the livelihoods of the poor through building strong community institutions.
The central objective of the Mission is to “establish efficient and effective
institutional platforms of the rural poor that enable them to increase
household incomes through livelihood enhancements and improved access
to financial and public services”.
3. The core belief of NRLM is that the poor have innate capabilities and
are potentially entrepreneurial and the challenge is to unleash their capabilities
to generate sustainable livelihoods that would enable them to come out of
poverty. The first step in this process is to motivate the poor to form their own
institutions. If these institutions are provided sufficient capacities to negotiate
with the external environment, enable access to adequate financial and
livelihood support services, the poor could come out of poverty and gradually
improve their status. However, this requires sustained handholding support.
44
4. Based on this paradigm, NRLM seeks to focus on creation of sensitive
support mechanisms to catalyze social mobilization, promote community
institutions and nurture them such that they mediate the livelihood concerns of
the poor. In tune with this philosophy, the NRLM seeks to invest in building
strong, self-reliant organizations of the poor.
Key Features/ Components of NRLM
Social Inclusion
5. NRLM aims at mobilizing all poor households into the self-help group
network in a time bound manner to give them voice, space and resources. The
key elements of universal social mobilization are:
a. At least one woman member from each poor household need to brought
under the Self-help group network:
b. The poor ought to be identified through participatory processes –
participatory vulnerability assessment/ participatory identification of the
poor- and ratified by the Gram Sabha: and
c. Special efforts ought to be made to identify vulnerable and marginalised
households such as those belonging to the SCs, the STs, the PVTGs, single
women and women headed households, the disabled, the landless, migrant
labour, people inhabiting isolated and remote villages particularly living in
remote and hilly areas.
Building Institutions of the Poor
6. The second important feature of NRLM is building functionally efficient
and sustainable SHGs and their federations at the village, cluster/ higher
levels. Strong quality institutions of the poor such as SHGs and their
federations are set up on priority. They empower the poor and act as
instruments of knowledge and technology dissemination, and hubs of
production, collectivization and commerce. In addition, Aajeevika promotes
specialized institutions like livelihoods collectives, producers‟
cooperatives/companies for livelihoods promotion through deriving economies
of scale, backward and forward linkages, and access to information, credit,
technology and markets. The livelihood collectives enable the poor to optimize
their limited resources. There are existing institutions of the poor women
(SHG) formed by Government efforts and efforts of NGOs. Aajeevika
strengthens all existing institutions of the poor in a partnership mode.
45
Financial Inclusion
7. Access to adequate amount of credit at reasonable rates of interest along
with convenient terms of repayment is critical for poverty reduction.
Therefore, the Mission seeks to promote universal financial inclusion implying
that all poor households, SHGs and their federations would be promoted to
have access to basic banking services. NRLM seeks to work on both demand
and supply sides for this purpose.
Funds to Community Institutions:
a. Revolving Fund: NRLM provides Revolving Fund (RF) to all eligible
SHGs adhering to Panchsutra at the rate of Rs.10,000-15,000. The RF is
intended to supplement the corpus of SHGs such that they can meet the
small credit needs of the members, besides preparing the SHGs for
leveraging bank credit in repeat doses.
b. Vulnerability Reduction Fund (VRF): The Mission also seeks to provide
VRF to mature SHG Federations (VO) at Village level in order to enable
them to undertake financing of food security, health and nutrition security
and such other priority needs of vulnerable households. The average works
out to Rs. 1.8 lakh per VO.
c. Community Investment Fund (CIF): The CIF is a grant to the Cluster
Level Federation (CLF), from which loans can be made to VOs on specific
terms and conditions. The VOs in turn can use these funds for on-lending
SHGs and SHGs to the members for meeting the consumption and
production credit requirements. On the average it works to Rs.1 crore per
CLF.
d. Credit Linkage: The Mission expects that the SHGs leverage significant
amount of bank credit. The Mission assumes that over a period five years,
each SHG would be able to leverage cumulative bank credit of Rs .
10,00,000/- in repeat doses, such that on the average each member
household accesses a cumulative amount of Rs. 100000/-.
Interest Subvention:
8. The Mission also provides interest subvention to all women SHGs. It is
providing interest subvention to all women S.H.Gs, in 150 districts in the first
phase, covering all the blocks in these districts. This includes all the 82 I.A.P
districts and other 68 NRLM Intensive districts. In these districts, all women
S.H.G s can avail loans up to Rs. 3 lakh at 7 % rate of interest per annum, with
an additional interest subvention of 3% on repayment of loan in time, reducing
the effective interest rate to 4%.
46
9. In the case of the remaining districts, all women S.H.Gs whose members
are from the N.R.L.M target group, availing loans up to Rs.3.0 lakhs are
eligible for interest subvention to avail the loan facility from banks at an
interest rate of 7%.
Livelihoods Promotion
10. The rural poor generally pursue more than one livelihood as a coping
strategy. The major livelihoods pursued by the poor include wage labour,
small agriculture, animal husbandry, household dairy, collection of NTFP,
fishing and traditional non-farm activities. However, the multiple livelihoods
pursued by the poor do not ensure sustainable incomes for coming out of
poverty. Therefore, NRLM seeks to address the entire portfolio of livelihoods
of each poor household and work towards stabilizing and enhancing the
existing livelihoods and subsequently diversifying them. Thus NRLM focuses
on stabilizing and promoting existing livelihoods portfolio of the poor through
its three pillars viz.
Vulnerability reduction and livelihoods enhancement through
deepening/enhancing and expanding existing livelihoods options and
tapping new opportunities in farm and non-farm sectors;
Employment - building skills for the job market outside; and
Enterprises - nurturing self-employed entrepreneurs (for micro-
enterprises).
Rural Self Employment Training Institute (RSETI)
11. One of the components of NRLM is to set up Rural Self Employment
Training Institute (RSETI) in each district of the country in collaboration with
the banks and the State Government to provide training to the rural youth to
enable them to take up in-situ self-employment. The RSETIs‟ core strength is
short term residential training with long handholding support. In few instances,
the RSETIs also offer off-site training at village/block levels. RSETIs offer
training in more than 65 vocations classified under agriculture, process,
product and general Entrepreneurship Development Programme.
Manila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP)
12. In order to strengthen the existing livelihoods of the poor, MKSP was
launched in 2010-11, as a special programme for agriculture based livelihoods
47
enhancement under NRLM. The primary objective of the MKSP is to
empower women in agriculture by strengthening community institutions of
poor women farmers and leverage their strength to promote sustainable
agriculture. MKSP focuses on agriculture, non-timber forest products,
livestock and fisheries. Scalable models will be promoted for all these four
livelihoods under MKSP.
13. The MKSP strategy involves:
organizing women farmers at village level as producers‟ groups;
creating support structure for training, capacity building, information
sharing, credit, technology and marketing;
creating CRPs from within the community to take over the role of
support structure; and
Promoting higher level producers‟ organizations at block/cluster level
for value addition and market linkages.
Skill Development and Placement Support
14. Under the overall program of NRLM, a skill development program has
also been implemented, now named as Deen Dayal Upadhayaya Grameen
Koushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY). The Ministry is aiming at achieving a target
of skilling 50 lakh youth during 12th Five Year Plan period. The skill
development programme seeks to build the skills of the rural youth and place
them in relatively high wage employment sectors of the economy. The
programme is implemented in partnership with public, private, non-
government and community organizations. The powers to approve the projects
under the programme are being devolved to the state governments through a
capacity building process.
15. The Placement Linked Skills scheme, Aajeevika Skills, has been
revamped in terms of announcement of Antoydaya Divas on 25th September
2014 as Deen Dayal Upadhayaya Grameen Koushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY).
PROGRESS UNDER NRLM
Implementation Structure
16. National Level: The Government of India has set up an autonomous
Society known as National Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society (N.R.L.P.S
with the mandate of providing need based and timely technical assistance to
48
States for rollout and implementation of Aajeevika. The N.R.L.P.S has both
full time and part time professionals for various thematic interventions. The
human resource at N.R.L.P.S brings in quality domain knowledge with an
average experience of approximately 12 years. N.R.L.P.S has been able to
provide adequate technical support to States on a continuous basis to establish
the state units (SRLM), provide support in designing and establishing their
internal systems, rules and regulations and in preparing their poverty reduction
action plans and Annual Action Plan. N.R.L.P.S have also directly conducted
induction and immersion for the newly recruited staff at the State level, in
addition to helping the States design their own induction and training strategies
for their manpower under N.R.L.M. In addition, the N.R.L.P.S aims at
building a national pool of experts, practitioners and advisers in all the relevant
disciplines for providing handholding support to SRLMs.
17. State level: As per the „Framework of Implementation‟ of Aajeevika, all
States are required to put in place certain systems before their Annual Action
Plans can be approved by the Ministry for release of funds under Aajeevika.
This includes setting up the State Rural Livelihoods Mission (SRLM) which
will be an autonomous registered society under the state government,
appointing a dedicated Chief Executive Officer in the SRLM, putting in place
a State Project Management Unit (SPMU), and setting up dedicated
implementation structures at the district and sub-district levels. All States
(except Goa) and UT of Puducherry have transited to NRLM.
18. District Level: The District Mission Management Unit (DMMU) of the
SRLM would be responsible for meeting NRLM objectives and implementing
NRLM activities in the district. DMMU, linked suitably with DRDA, would be
a facilitating and support unit for field structures. It would interface and forge
convergence with District Administration and line departments, banks, NGOs
and corporate agencies.
19. Block Level: NRLM intends to work in a block for a period of ten years
till community federations take responsibility of implementation. A typical
block having about 13,500 (90% of total poor) potential poor households that
may be mobilised into SHG network, spread over 100-120 villages is divided
into 4 clusters of 30 villages each. In a typical intensive block, the first 3 years
are spent in building the organisations of the poor by mobilising them into
SHGs, Federations at Village, Cluster level and Block level. Funds flow to the
community institutions over the first 4-5 years. The middle years, years 3-6,
are invested in deepening the activities and addition of various layers such as
health, nutrition, interventions for Persons with Disability (PwD), etc. Last 4
years is essentially a maintenance and withdrawal phase where the community
institutions graduate to self-reliance and self-sustainability.
49
Implementation Strategy
20. NRLM has adopted a phased implementation strategy for reaching out to
all villages in all blocks of the country. A phasing plan charting the
geographical coverage in terms of districts, blocks, villages and the resulting
physical progress in terms of SHGs and VOs has been prepared.
21. Implementation in the blocks is being done in four ways - a) Resource
Blocks with the support from National Resource Organization(s) (NRO) [5-
6% blocks in a state]; b) Intensive Blocks implemented with SRLM staff and
internal Community Resource Persons (CRP) and the CRPs generated in
resource blocks; c) Partnership Blocks with the support from local
community federations and NGO partners; and d) Non-intensive Blocks are
the remaining blocks in the state which are not taken up for implementation in
the initial phase.
22. Resource Blocks: It is envisaged that about 5-6% of the blocks in a
state would be taken up as resource blocks. These blocks would be model
blocks where all the key strategies of NRLM would be piloted. These blocks
would create a „proof of concept‟ for other blocks to adopt and replicate. The
social capital expected to be generated in the resource blocks would support
the intensive blocks in implementation.
23. A National Resource Organisation (NRO) supports the states in
implementation in the resource blocks. NRO which has experience in
successfully implementing NRLM protocols on a large scale. The NRO
deputes a State Anchor Person to SRLM to anchor implementation. A Project
Resource Person (PRP) is seconded to each cluster in the resource block to
facilitate implementation on the ground. External Community Resource
Persons in teams of 5 each from NRO take-up mobilisation, formation of
institutions of the poor and train the institutions in the block. NRO also
nurtures social capital – active women, internal CRPs, bookkeepers and other
community activists from the resource blocks to support the institutions in the
resource block as well as other blocks. NRO also implements livelihood
promotion and layering activities in the block.
24. 16 States have started rolling out the Resource Block Strategy in 112
blocks. 6 States would be taking up the same in 2015-16.
25. Intensive Blocks: SRLMs directly implement in other intensive blocks
where they enter with their own staff at block level, and take support of the
internal resources from the resource blocks. CRPs are chosen from the
resource blocks to accelerate implementation in these blocks. The protocols of
implementation followed in the resource blocks would be adopted in these
blocks as well.
50
26. At present 2125 blocks in all states are under intensive implementation.
These include the 1250 pre-NRLM blocks of A.P., Telangana and Kerala.
27. Partnership Blocks: SRLMs take up implementation in blocks where
there is pre-existing significant mobilization of poor women into SHGs as
partnership blocks in partnership with Community Federations and the
NGOs working in these blocks. NRLM has developed Partnership Guidelines
to identify and work with NGOs and CBOs. NGOs that have significant
presence (done 80% mobilization or promoted a SHG federation) in a block
are identified as partner NGOs. These NGOs are expected to follow NRLM‟s
implementing protocols and processes in the blocks.
28. As of now, 23 blocks in various states are implementing NRLM in the
partnership mode.
29. Non-intensive Blocks: The remaining blocks in a state (other than
resource, intensive and partnership blocks) are non-intensive blocks. NRLM
strengthens existing SHGs in these blocks with some capacity building and
limited financial assistance. No new mobilization would be done in these
blocks. Over time, as NRLM implementation progresses, these blocks also
would come into the intensive-fold. Some SRLMs have adopted 2-3 villages in
the non-intensive blocks to implement NRLM in a full-fledged manner.
30. National Resource Organizations: Aajeevika has identified Resource
Organizations, which are state agencies that have successfully implemented
rural livelihoods strategies, to deploy trained and quality Community Resource
Persons (CRP) teams and Professional Resource Persons (PRPs) and deliver
the services relating to training, immersion and handholding to
staff/community and ensure high quality and timely service. Society for
Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP), Andhra Pradesh, Bihar Rural
Livelihoods Promotion Society (BRLPS), Bihar, Kudumbashree, Kerala,
Tamil Nadu Women Development Corporation (TNWDC) and Employment
Generation and Marketing Mission (EGMM), Andhra Pradesh have been
identified as Resource Organizations by Aajeevika. The resource organization
will support SRLMs in rolling out Aajeevika in a few selected resource blocks
in the state and to identify internal CRPs and train them to work independently
in the new blocks. They will also support the States in implementing some of
the best practices from the resource states in other states. The performance and
outcomes of the intensive blocks are monitored jointly by NRLPS and SRLM.
NRLPS provides technical assistance to SRLMs to transfer the learning from
intensive blocks to new blocks.
51
31. Community Resource Persons: Community Resource Persons (CRPs)
are members of the community who have graduated out of poverty with the
help of their SHGs. CRP rounds are the cornerstone of the Resource Block
strategy. This strategy essentially rests on the premise that the community
learns from the community better. CRPs are employed by the Community
Based Organizations (CBOs) at various levels and in various verticals. There
are some CRPs who specialize in certain areas, such as gender, social action,
etc. These CRPs visit different states in teams to inspire women from other
communities to form and run SHGs.
32. At present, about 100 blocks in 18 states are being supported through
about 1800 CRPs through the National Resource Organizations.
33. Participatory Identification of Poor (PIP): NRLM provides for
identification of the NRLM target group through a process of Participatory
Identification of Poor (PIP). The PIP process will include approval of the list
of identified households by the Gram Sabha and the Gram Panchayat. PIP
would be conducted in three phases –
the first phase (CRP rounds) would be conducted by the CRPs during
the mobilization drive. And the members in SHGs formed/revived and
their vulnerability would be presented to Aam Sabha
the second phase (about 3 months after VO formation) – Presentation of
members of all members of SHGs formed/revived at that point of time
and their vulnerability to Gram Sabha
the third phase, after every year thereafter – presentation of VO
performance score card that includes annual well being status of
members
34. The process has already commenced in Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh
and these two states would serve as resource states to other states.
35. The position regarding achievements/outputs with reference to
outlays/targets fixed under SGSY/NRLM for 2013-14 & 2014-15 ( upto
31.12.2014) is indicated in Annexure -I and Annexure-II respectively.
36. Statements showing physical progress under the SGSY/NRLM during
2013-14 and 2014-15 are at Annexure-III and Annexure-IV( upto
31.12.2014) respectively.
37. Statements showing financial progress under NRLM during 2013-14
and 2014-15 are at Annexure-V and Annexure-VI ( upto 31.12.2014)
respectively.
52
Progress under Financial Inclusion
38. Disbursement of interest subvention received fillip during the year.
Interest subvention scheme was streamlined to facilitate disbursement. To
assess the SHG-bank linkage on a real time basis, NRLM created an SHG-
bank linkage web-portal with the support of SERP/NRO which has wide
ranging experience and expertise. The data is being sourced directly from the
Core Banking Solution of the Banks and will be used to create various reports
for use of the Ministry. Further, Canara Bank has been appointed as the Nodal
Bank to operationalize the Interest Subvention scheme for Public Sector Banks
(PSBs) in the 150 Districts by Ministry of Rural Development. NABARD has
been identified as the Nodal Bank for Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) and Co-
operatives.
39. State wise status of disbursement of Interest Subvention in Category-I
and II districts is given at Annexure – VII (a) and VII (b). The figures
indicate the actual amount of interest subvention that has flown to the accounts
of SHGs during the given years.
40. Credit Targets: State wise target and achievement of SHG bank linkage
and credit linkage are given at Annexure – VIII
41. Bank of Ideas & Innovations (BII): Bank of Ideas & Innovations is a
permanent forum for identification, evaluation and promotion of innovations &
appropriate technologies in and for the rural India. The objectives of the
Forum are to identify, evaluate and promote innovations that help in:
1. Rapid reduction in poverty
2. Improving the living standards of rural population, with focus on rural
poor
3. Improve governance systems in rural areas and
4. Empower the rural population.
42. The program was launched on 14th Aug 2014 by Former President Dr.
APJ Abdul Kalam in the presence of Minister of Rural Development Minister.
43. The ministry has decided to focus on themes of Rural Housing and
Rural Sanitation for the first cycle of identification of innovations.
44. Social Inclusion/Social Development Pilots : NRLM has undertaken 4
special pilot projects on a) Anti-Human Trafficking (AHT) – implementing
in 31 blocks of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Odisha and Kerala
for prevention of human trafficking of women and children and rehabilitation
53
of victims; b) Persons engaged in Unhygienic Occupations (PEiHO)- two
districts of Maharashtra for rehabilitation of persons engaged in the practice of
manual scavenging; c) Persons with Disability (PwDs) in 30 mandals of
Andhra Pradesh and 2 districts of Maharashtra. d) PRI – CBO Convergence
Project in 16 blocks of Assam, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Maharashtra and
Odisha.The project focuses on enabling working together of the Community
Based Organisations (CBO) with Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI), to
strengthen access of the poor to entitlements and development schemes, and
increasing the quality of their participation in local governance.
45.. NRLM is also implementing a special pilot project called Attappady
Comprehensive Tribal and PVTG Development Project. The project plans
to mobilize all (10,000) families of Irula, Muduga and Kurumba tribal
communities in Attappady Block in Palakkad district of Kerala, into a 3-tier
institutional architecture of their self-sustaining institutions and endeavours
comprehensive integrated development of these families with reduced
vulnerabilities, improved socio-economic and livelihoods status and
maximized access to their rights and entitlements. The pilot also aimed to train
6000 families for skill development for placement and self-employment each
through convergence separately.
Progress under RSETI
46. As on 31st Dec 2014, 583 RSETIs are functioning across the country.
State-wise position of RSETIs functioning in the country is at Annexure-VI. In
order to ensure the same quality of training as provided in the RUDSET, the
original promoters of RSETI concept, an MoU was signed with the National
Academy of RUDSETI. As a follow up of the MoU, following activities have
been undertaken:
(i) 48 Training programs conducted for Directors and faculties of RSETIs
and State Level Coordinators including nine State level workshops of
Maharashtra, West Bengal, Bihar, two in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan,
Jharkhand, Haryana and Chhattisgarh.
(ii) 68 Bank conclaves held including common conclave for those banks
sponsoring less than 10 RSETIs and conclave of State bank associate
bank. These Conclaves have been held as an annual event and as at the
end of December 2014, majority of the Banks have conducted third
round of Conclave for their RSETI Directors.
(iii) 24 State Level Project Coordinators appointed, trained and placed in
State capital.
(iv) Process of reimbursement of training cost of BPL candidates has been
simplified to a large extent. Effective 2013-14, the claims of the banks
are settled directly by the State Rural Livelihood Missions.
54
(v) A strong web enabled MIS of RSETI has been developed wherein the
training details of 569 RSETIs across India have been entered. This is a
dynamic MIS and gets updated in real time.
47. Overall training target under RSETI scheme for the financial year 2014-
15 for Self Employment is 3.53 lakh persons. Against this, the achievement up
to November 2014 stood at 2,14,241 persons, of which 1,09,905 have set up
their own enterprises. The post-training support mechanisms include
interactive web portal, call centres, network of business counselling centres
and alumni conventions. Each public sector bank is provided a subsidy amount
of Rs 1 Crore for setting up RSETI while the state governments are expected
to provide land free of cost. State-wise details of trainings conducted by the
RSETIs is given at Annexure IX.
Progress under MKSP
48. A total of 59 MKSP projects spread over 118 districts across 15 States
are currently being implemented. The total outlay of the project is Rs.
822Crores. Projects in Andhra Pradesh and Kerala cover all the districts and
blocks in the states and are being implemented by SRLMs of these states. In
remaining 12 states, MKSP is implemented in 181 blocks across 81 districts.
As of Dec. 2014, MKSP has reached out to 28.5 lakh Mahila Kisans.
Progress under Skills
49. A total of 114 new projects have been approved for skilling 2.95 lakh
candidates. Annual Action Plan for skilling 3.16 lakh candidates have been
approved for States of UP, Kerala, Odissa, Bihar and Tamil Nadu.
50. Total 51,956 candidates have been skilled under DDU-GKY out of
which 28,995 candidates have been placed till November 2014.
51. In the North-East States, a total number of 1393 candidates have been
skilled under DDU-GKY out of which 1380 candidates have been placed till
November 2014.
Progress under MARKETING
52. To facilitate marketing of the products produced by rural poor, requisite
provisions have been made in the guidelines under the program. NRLM
emphasizes on backward and forward linkages of the activities to be tied up
appropriately so as to ensure that the products manufactured by SHG members
are able to compete in the market and they derive adequate income. The
various initiatives of the Ministry to promote marketing of rural products are
as under:
55
a. Organize SARAS Fairs: Ministry of Rural Development supports the
State Governments for organizing Regional SARAS Fairs in metros and major
cities of the States. An amount upto Rs.25 lakhs has been sanctioned for metro
cities and Rs. 20 lakhs for other cities. Regional/State SARAS fairs are
organized throughout the country where SHGs from different States participate
and sell their products. Moreover, this Ministry also organises SARAS fair
during India International Trade Fair (IITF) at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi
every year. During 2014-15, the Ministry organized 22 Regional SARAS fairs
throughout the country in which a remarkable number of artisans participated
and products of substantial value were sold.
b. Creation of Marketing Centers at Delhi: Permanent marketing centres
provide a platform to the rural artisans to sell their products throughout the
year.
53. Ministry of Rural Development has taken a Gallery at Rajiv Gandhi
Handicrafts Bhawan, Baba Kharak Singh Marg, New Delhi on rent for display
and sale of products of SHGs. The management of the Gallery has been
entrusted to Consortium of Women Entrepreneurs of India (CWEI) to run it in
a professional way.
54. 44 stalls of Dilli Haat, Pitampura were taken on long term lease by the
Ministry of Rural Development where rural artisans from all States are invited
to participate. These stalls became operational since April 13, 2008 and
products worth crores of rupees were sold at the Haat.
55. For the year 2015-16, an outlay of Rs. 2505 crores has been approved
for the Ajeevika-NRLM.
DRDA ADMINISTRATION
56. The DRDA has traditionally been a principal organ at the District level
to oversee the implementation of different anti-poverty programmes of the
Ministry of Rural Development. Since inception, the administrative costs of
the DRDAs were met by way of setting apart a certain percentage of the
allocation for each programme. However, over the years, the number of
programmes increased and some of the programmes provided for
administrative costs of the DRDAs others did not. Keeping in view the need
for an effective agency at the District level to co-ordinate the anti-poverty
programmes, a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme for strengthening the DRDAs
was introduced w.e.f 1st April, 1999.
56
Objectives
57. The primary objective of the Scheme of DRDA Administration is to
professionalise the DRDAs so that they are able to effectively manage anti-
poverty programmes of the Ministry of Rural Development and interact
effectively with other agencies.
Target
58. The DRDA Administration, being a Staff scheme, no physical targets
are set under the same.
Funding pattern
59. The funds under this programme are shared between the Centre and the
States in the ratio of 75:25 and from the financial year 2007-08, in the case of
NE States, the ratio is 90:10.
Salient features
60. The Salient features of DRDA Administration are as under:
The DRDA is visualised as a specialised agency for managing anti-
poverty programmes of the Ministry on the one hand and to
effectively relate these to the overall efforts of poverty eradication in
the District.
DRDAs would develop the capacity to build synergies among
different agencies involved for the most effective results. The role of
the DRDA is, therefore, distinct from all the other agencies.
The DRDAs would deal only with the anti-poverty programmes of the
Ministry of Rural Development. If DRDAs are to be entrusted with
programmes of other ministries or those of the State Governments, it
would be ensured that these have a definite anti-poverty focus.
The principle to be followed will be to ensure that actual execution of
programmes will be handled outside the DRDAs and that DRDA`s
role will be to facilitate the implementation of the programmes, to
supervise/oversee and monitor the progress, to receive and send the
progress reports as well as to account for the funds.
In respect of such States where DRDA does not have a separate
identity, a separate cell will be created in the Zilla Parishad which
57
maintains a separate identity and separate accounts, so that the
accounts are capable of being audited separately.
DRDAs would be a lean organization. While the details of the staffing
would vary from State to State, a minimum uniformity in the staffing
structure has been indicated.
The staffing structure of DRDAs will include position for planning for
poverty alleviation, project formulation, social organisation and
capacity building. Gender concerns, Engineering supervision and
Quality control, project monitoring, Accountancy and Audit functions
as well as Evaluation and Impact studies.
Each DRDA would be headed by a Project Director, who shall be of
the rank of an Additional District Magistrate.
The ceiling on administrative cost per district has been fixed as on
1.4.1999 as follows;
Category A districts (<6 blocks) Rs. 46 lakhs
Category B districts (6-10 blocks) Rs. 57 lakhs

MAHATMA GANDHI NATIONAL RURAL
EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT
(Mahatma Gandhi NREGA)
Objective
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
(MGNREGA) is a right-based wage employment programme implemented in
rural areas of the country. This programme aims at enhancing livelihood
security by providing at least one hundred days of guaranteed wage
employment in a financial year to every rural household whose adult members
volunteer to do unskilled manual work.
2. The major goals of MGNREGA are to:
Enhance livelihood security of the rural poor by generating wage
employment opportunities in works that develop the infrastructure base
of the area concerned.
Rejuvenate the natural resource base of the area concerned.
create a productive rural asset base
Stimulate the local economy by providing a safety net to rural poor.
Ensure empowerment to women.
Strengthening grass-root democratic institutions.
Mahatma Gandhi NREGA: Paradigm shift:
3. MGNREGA marks a major paradigm shift from the earlier wage
employment programmes. One of the significant differences between
MGNREGA and the earlier wage employment programmes is that
MGNREGA operates within a rights-based framework while ensuring wage
employment to rural poor. The Act also makes the States/UTs legally
accountable for guaranteeing wage employment as per the demand for works.
MGNREGA is a demand-driven and self-target oriented wage employment
programme whereas the earlier wage employment programmes were supply-
led and allocation-driven interventions. In case of MGNREGA, permissible
works have been identify and unlisted in the revised scheduled I & II of
MGNREGA Act and notified them 3rd
January, 2014. The processes,
procedures and provisions made in the Act attempt to bring in transparency
and accountability in the implementation of the Act.
72
4. The Act also provides a detailed procedure for organization of social
audits and concurrent audits and establishment of a robust grievance redressal
system at the last level programme implementation.
Implementation Responsibilities:
5. Responsibility of implementation of MGNREGA is vested with the
States/UTs in accordance with the schemes formulated by them. Section 13 to
16 of MGNREGA 2005 elaborates various provisions relating to (i) planning
and consolidation of plans (ii) execution of the plan activities and (iii) effective
monitoring of programme intervention through the community/Panchayati Raj
Institutions. Theprogramme coordination for effective implementation of the
provisions of the Act at the district level is the responsibility of the District
Programme Coordinator (DPC)- an officer at the district level who is not
below the rank of District Commissioner/District Magistrate.
6. The Central Government, as is envisaged under the Act, (a)scrutinizes
labour budgets received from States/UTs (b) provides its share as per the
provisions made in Section 22 of the MGREGA 2005 to finance labour
demand (c) facilitates monitoring and evaluation at the Central/State level (d)
promotes dissemination of information about the provisions under the Act and
(e) organizes training, awareness programmes for State level functionaries on
programme guidelines and overall programme implementation (f) documents
best practices and publishes various documents like annual reports etc.
Action taken by the Ministry in strengthening the implementation of
MGNREGA.
7. Some new initiatives taken by the Ministry under MGNREGA are:
a. States have been requested to prepare the labour budget for financial
year 2015-16 with a greater focus in selected 2500 Blocks consisting
of around one lakh Gram Panchayats. For this purpose, an Intensive
and Participatory Planning Exercise is being conducted in these
Blocks. The main objective of the IPPE is to prepare the shelf of work
which reflects the true concerns and needs of the people.
b. States have been suggested to ensure that at least 60% of the works
taken up in a district in terms of cost shall be for creation of productive
assets directly linked to agriculture and allied activities through
development of land, water and trees.
c. Emphasis on Convergence through Proper Implementation of State
Convergence Plan: 21 State Convergence Plans have been formulated
73
with the renewed focus on the need to create sustainable assets. Every
State has designated a senior officer as a State Nodal officer for
convergence.
d. To ensure that the convergence with the Line Departments takes place
smoothly and works are implemented effectively, States have been
suggested to designate officer of Line Departments as a Programme
Officer.
e. To improve the productivity and quality of the assets created under
MGNREGA it has been made mandatory (with effect from 1st
October,
2014) to record the „Expected Outcomes‟ at the time of creation/
execution of a work.
f. To ensure that adequate technical staff is available, States have been
advised to fill all positions of Technical Assistants / Barefoot
Engineers @ one for every 2,500 active job cards. The cost of
Technical Assistants / Barefoot Engineers is allowed to be met from
the material components of the works.
g. For effective implementation of the Audit of Scheme Rules, 2011,
financial assistance under a special project has been provided to States
for the engagement of social audit resource persons at the State and
District levels.
h. To provide sustainable, productive and green assets for livelihood of
the rural poor and promote ecological balance by promoting soil/water
conservation works alongwith tree plantations, a plan of action for
road side tree plantation under MGNREGA has been issued. Road side
plantation will not only create productive assets but will also check the
deterioration of roads and will contribute to strengthen ecological
balance and reducing global warming. To start with, States were
suggested to go for road side plantations on PMGSY and National
Highway roads under MGNREGA in a systematic and planned way.

PRADHAN MANTRI GRAM SADAK YOJANA
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is a Centrally Sponsored
Scheme with the objective to provide all-weather road connectivity to all
eligible unconnected habitations, existing in the Core Network, in rural areas
of country. The programme envisages connecting all eligible unconnected
habitations with a population of 500 persons and above (as per 2001 Census)
in plain areas and 250 persons and above (as per 2001 Census) in Special
Category States (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram,
Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and
Uttrakhand), Tribal (Schedule-V) areas, the Desert Areas (as identified in
Desert Development Programme) and in Selected Tribal and Backward
Districts (as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs/Planning
Commission). The PMGSY permits upgradation (to prescribed standards) of
existing rural roads in districts where all the eligible habitations of the
designated population size have been provided all weather road connectivity.
For most intensive IAP blocks as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs
the unconnected habitations with population 100 and above (as per 2001
census) would be eligible to be covered under PMGSY.
2. According to figures made available by the State Governments, under a
survey to identify Core Network, as part of the PMGSY programme and after
revision of the Core Network, 1,78,184 habitations were eligible for
connectivity under the programme. These habitations were targeted for
providing single all weather road connectivity under PMGSY. The programme
also has an „Upgradation‟ component with a target to upgrade 3.75 lakh km of
existing rural roads (including 40% renewal of rural roads to be funded by the
States) in order to ensure full farm to market connectivity.
3. For effective implementation of PMGSY in Naxal affected districts (82
Selected Tribal and Backward Districts under Integrated Action Plan (IAP) as
identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs/Planning Commission), some of the
major relaxations made in the scheme guidelines are as follows:
i. All habitations in Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts,
whether in schedule-V areas or not, with a population of 250
and above (in 2001 census) will be eligible for coverage under
PMGSY as against the population of 500 in other areas.
91
ii. In Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts, cost of bridges upto
75 metres under PMGSY will be borne by the Government of
India as against 50 metres for other areas
iii. In case of LWE/IAP districts, the minimum tender package
amount is reduced to 50 lakhs
iv. The time limit upto 24 calendar months would be allowed for
completion of work. However, no extra liability, if any, on
account of cost escalation shall be met from the programme
fund provided by the Ministry of Rural Development,
Government of India
v. While formulating estimates and preparing DPRs, cost of
insurance premium against risks such as damaging or burning
of plants and machinery etc. of contractors can also be
included.
vi. The difference in cost between CC road and bituminous road
would be shared by Centre and States concerned in the ratio of
90:10 instead of 50:50 in the case of other States. Proposals of
such CC roads up to 20% of the total newly proposed roads in
the highly affected blocks can be accepted as against 10% in
respect of other States.
vii. General approval under Section 2 of Forest (Conservation)
Act, 1980 for diversion of forest land up to 5 ha for selected
public infrastructure projects in IAP districts has been given
and orders have been issued.
viii. Left out habitations in these areas numbering about 6,000 have
been allowed to be included in Core Network, making these
eligible for sanction.

Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission
(SPMRM)
Several measures had been undertaken to develop a sustainable model for
provision of urban infrastructure in rural areas. Nine pilot projects were
undertaken under 10th Five Year Plan under the Provision of Urban Amenities
in Rural Areas (PURA). Subsequently a restructured PURA was launched as a
central pilot scheme in 11th Five Year Plan. This restructured scheme focused
on integrated infrastructure delivery and economic activities through a
performance based PPP mode. However, the PURA pilot initiatives met with
limited success primarily because the state involvement was restricted and
approval / release process of different Government schemes turned out to be a
slow and time consuming process.
2. In the budget 2014-15, „Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban
Mission(SPMRM)‟,was announced with a budgetary allocation of Rs 100 crore.
Modalities of Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission are being firmed up
based on the lessons learnt from PURA and other PURA like initiatives and the
focus will be on building integrated infrastructure with promotion of economic
activities and skill development. The existing projects of PURA are proposed to
be subsumed in the SPMRM from 2015-16.
3. Key features of the SPMRM will be as under:
Selection of Cluster
4. It is proposed that the State Government will select a Gram Panchayat /
cluster of geographically contiguous Gram Panchayats with a population of
about 25,000 to 50,000 in plain and coastal areas and a population of 5,000 to
15,000 in desert, hilly, island or tribal areas as a SPMRM cluster and implement
the Scheme in Mission Mode. 300 rural growth clusters are proposed to be
created in the country under the scheme.
5. The State Government shall identify Gram Panchyat(s) that are potential
growth centers with resources available in the area and could lead to the
economic transformation of the region. The criteria for selection of such Gram
Panchayat or a cluster of geographically contiguous Gram Panchayats could
include;
• A census town classified under the census 2011 (under the administration
of Gram Panchayat) along with nearby villages to form a cluster; or
• A block headquarter village along with nearby villages; or
• A cluster of geographically contiguous large villages; or
99
• Tourism locations, handicraft centres, village industry clusters, religious
centres, etc; or
• Special areas like tribal villages, islands etc.
6. A central point like a block/GP Headquarter village or any other
significant location within the identified cluster will be designated as the
Rurban Growth Center (RGC) of the cluster.
7. In each of the SPMRM clusters the following components shall be
implemented:
Mandatory components;
i. Piped water supply,
ii. Sanitation,
iii. Solid and liquid waste management,
iv. Village streets and drains,
v. Street lights,
vi. Health care connectivity,
vii. Upgrading school education facilities,
viii. Skill development,
ix. Development of specific economic activities,
x. Inter-village road connectivity,
xi. E Gram connectivity,
xii. Public transport.
8. The State Government will also mandatorily converge the schemes
pertaining to agriculture and allied activities in the identified cluster.
Further, the State Government may at its own discretion additionally converge
any other state or central government scheme not falling under the above
mandatory components. These could be finalized after due consultation with
the Gram Panchayats and should aim at addressing the unique needs of the
RURBAN cluster and enable it to leverage its full economic potential.
(a) The State Government will prepare an Integrated Cluster Action (ICAP)
Plan which shall be the key document covering baseline studies outlining the
requirements at the cluster and the key interventions needed to address these
needs and to leverage its potential Emphasis will be laid on the involvement
of community in the planning process for the Rurban cluster.
(b) Detailed Project Reports (DPR) for each of the components flowing
from the ICAP shall be prepared for implementation. A DPR shall contain the
100
detailed design and costing of the project components in line with the norms
and requirements of relevant scheme guidelines.
(c) Institutional Arrangements:- The project is to be implemented in a
Mission mode. A SPMRM Mission Directorate will be established at the
national level in the Department of Rural Development to be supported by a
lean Mission Project Management Unit (MPMU) to be set up in the
Directorate. This Mission Directorate will be headed (ex-officio) by Joint
Secretary in-charge of the Rurban Mission in the Department.
At the State level, Department of Rural Development or any other
Agency will be designated as the State Nodal Agency (SNA) for purposes of
the Rurban Mission. The SNA will identify appropriate clusters and prepare
ICAPs and DPRs in consultation with the District Level Committee would be
constituted with the officers of the concerned line Department and Sarpanchs
of the concerned Gram Panchayats. A competent Charge Officer will also be
nominated for each Rurban cluster.
A State Level Empowered Committed (SLEC) headed by the Chief
Secretary will recommend / approve the ICAPs and the DPRs and will also be
responsible for other key decisions for effective coordination and
implementation of the scheme.
An Empowered Committed (EC) headed by Secretary, Rural
Development at the National Mission Directorate in the Department of Rural
Development will approve the ICAPs as recommended by the SLEC, approve
the CGF for the cluster and take other necessary decisions and steps to ensure
coordination with other Central Ministries and State Governments to facilitate
successful implementation of the Scheme.
(d) Mentor Institutions - In most of the successful PURA like initiatives in
India a pivotal role was played by agencies external to the government like
cooperatives, educational institutions, and voluntary trusts etc. in mobilizing
the community towards holistic socio – economic development. The potential
of such agencies including public & private sector CSR foundations etc will be
leveraged to mentor the development process in Rurban clusters.
The State Department/SNA will nominate a panel of Mentor Institutions
(MI) either state wise or specific to a SPMRM cluster.
(e) Funding: In addition to the funding available through various
existing Government Schemes a maximum of 30% of the project cost is
proposed to be provided as Critical Gap Funding (CGF) to achieve the growth
aspirations of the clusters.
9. An outlay of Rs. 300 crore has been made for the year 2015-2016. 101
BPL Survey
The Ministry of Rural Development provides financial and technical
support to the States/UTs for conducting the BPL Census to identify the
families living Below the Poverty Line in the rural areas who could be targeted
under its various programmes. The first BPL Census was conducted in 1992
for the eighth five year plan. Subsequently, BPL census was conducted in
1997, for the Ninth five year plan and in 2002 for the Tenth five year plan
period. For conducting the BPL Census for the Eleventh Five Year Plan, the
Ministry, on 12th August, 2008, constituted an Expert Group, to advise it on
the suitable methodology. The Expert Group submitted its report on 21st
August 2009 under chairmanship of Dr. N.C. Saxena.
2. The Expert Group recommended the methodology for identification of
Below Poverty Line families, which includes criterion for automatic exclusion
of rural household from the BPL list, automatic inclusion in the BPL list and
grading of the remaining households on a scale of one to ten. The Expert
Group has also recommended the methodology for conducting the Census and
appropriate appeal mechanisms.
3. The Report of the Expert Group was been posted on the Ministry‟s
website www.rural.nic.in soliciting comments and suggestions. It was
circulated among the State Governments/UT administrations and the
concerned Central Ministries for their comments. The Ministry also consulted
the issue of finalization of methodology with experts in the related field. The
experts suggested pre-testing the methodology with alternative methodology
options. Accordingly, MORD has conducted through States/UTs a BPL Pilot
survey to field test alternative methodologies.
4. Results of pilot study were discussed on 1st Feb. 2011 in Core Group on
BPL Census and subsequently with States/UTs on 7th Feb. 2011. On the basis
of discussion a draft questionnaire for BPL Census was prepared.
5. The Ministry of Rural Development sought approval of cabinet for the
methodology for conducting the BPL Census 2011. The modalities for
conducting the BPL Census for 12th
Plan Period in rural areas along with
Census in urban areas for identification of BPL households in urban areas and
Caste Census throughout the country have been approved by the Union
Cabinet.
102
Process of conducting the SECC
6. The Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC 2011) was launched on
29th June 2011 in the country which would be carried out by the respective
State/Union Territory Governments with the financial and technical support of
the Government of India. Socio Economic and Caste Census consist of Census
in rural areas and urban areas in connection with identification of BPL
households and Caste Census throughout the country. Socio-Economic and
Caste Census 2011 (SECC 2011) is being carried out in all States/UTs in a
phased manner taking into consideration their preparedness and other relevant
considerations.
7. The Socio Economic and Caste Census is being done with the help of an
electronic handheld device (Tablet PC). Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has
supplied about 6.4 lakhs Tablet PCs to States/UTs to carry out this operation.
BEL lead consortium of CPSUs is also providing Data Entry Operators (DEOs)
other technical services in connection with software for data collection and data
transfer etc. National Informatics Centre (NIC) has developed a web based
comprehensive Management Information System (MIS) for management,
storing, updating and utilization of data.
8. The SECC 2011 is being conducted in six stages viz. enumeration,
supervision, verifications & corrections, draft list publication, claims and
objections and final list publication which is being carried out by the
respective State/Union Territory Government with the financial and technical
support of the Government of India. The first three stages are completed in
most of the Sates/UTs. As on 15.12.2014, 'Draft List' has been published in
446 districts in 32 States/UTs and „Final List‟ in 96 districts in 10 States/UTs.
Taking into consideration the progress made by the States/UT, the Census is
likely to take at least 3-4 months.
Constitution of Expert Committee
9. In a joint statement issued on 3rd
October, 2011 by Deputy Chairman,
Planning Commission and Hon‟ble Minister of Rural Development it has been
stated that the Government of India will take into account multiple dimensions
of deprivation based on the indicators that are being collected through the
SECC, 2011 for arriving at specific entitlements that rural households will
receive under various central government programmes and schemes.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Rural Development has constituted an Expert
Committee on 28th December, 2012 under the Chairmanship of Prof Abhijit
Sen, to examine the SECC indicators and the data analysis and recommend

appropriate methodologies for determining classes of beneficiaries for
different rural development programmes. The Expert Committee has since
submitted its report.
Budget for BPL Census
10. Providing financial assistance to States/UTs for conducting the BPL
Census is not a regular scheme as such and generally conducted only once in
five year. Nature of the activity is such that bulk of the expenditure occurs in a
short span of time and particularly during the period when actual census takes
place.
11. Initially, it was envisaged that the BPL Census would be conducted in
2010-11 and accordingly Rs.312 crores were sought from the Planning
Commission. An amount of Rs.150 crores were provided during 2009-10 and
Rs.162 crores were provided in 2010-11. Rs.150 crores allocated in 2009-2010
was released to States/UTs and NIRD as first instalment for conducting BPL
Census and allied activities. However out of Rs.162 crores available under BE
2010-11, Rs.161 crores could not be utilized due to delay in starting of BPL
Census because MORD decided to conduct a Pilot survey to field test
alternative methodologies and to arrive on methodology for conducting BPL
Census (based on the advice of the experts in the related field).
12. Subsequently the Ministry of Rural Development decided to conduct
a combined Census namely “Socio-Economic and Caste Census 2011 (SECC
2011) with help of Hand Held Devices (HHDs) for collecting Socio-economic
and caste data of households in the rural and urban areas of the country. Socio
economic data collected from SECC 2011 will be utilized by respective
States/UTs for identifying BPL households in rural areas as well as urban
areas. The SECC 2011 is being conducted through a comprehensive
programme involving the Ministry of Rural Development, Ministry of Housing
and Urban Poverty Alleviation, the Office of the Registrar General and Census
Commissioner, India and State Governments/UT Administration. The subject
of Caste Census comes under purview of Office of Registrar General and
Census Commissioner of India. The issue of identification of beneficiary‟s
households under various schemes in rural areas and urban areas comes under
the purview of Ministry of Rural Development and Ministry of Housing and
Urban Poverty Alleviation (HUPA) respectively
13. For conducting the combined SECC 2011, EFC has approved an amount
of Rs.3543.29 for conducting the SECC 2011. Out of the approved amount of
Rs. 3543.29 crore, Rs.3543 crore have been provided for SECC 2011 from
2009-2010 up to 2013-14. Details of the funds provided for the SECC are
given as below.

14. The funds approved by the EFC for conducting the SECC 2011 have been
exhausted and additional funds would be required to complete the whole
Census operation, which is still in progress. In order to complete the whole
census operation/payment of pending liabilities, etc. it is projected that an
additional amount of Rs.1693.63 crore would be required for completion of the
census operation over and above the amount approved by the EFC i.e. 3543.29
crore. Thus, the total requirement of funds for SECC has been revised to
Rs.5236.92 crore. Towards this additional requirement, a proposal for Revised
Cost Estimate (RCE) has been submitted to the Department of Expenditure,
Ministry of Finance the Ministry, for consideration of the EFC. Additional
requirement of funds has also been projected in the First Batch of
Supplementary Demand for Grant for 2014-15 pending approval of EFC.
15. The reasons behind additional requirement of funds for SECC 2011 are
mainly due to provisioning of funds for statutory dues like Service Tax to the
CPSUs viz. BEL, ECIL and ITI Limited engaged for conducting the SECC
2011, the provisions for activities that had not been indicated in the EFC
inadvertently. Besides, 40,000 additional Tablet PCs and accessories were
procured in addition to the 6,00,000 Tablet PCs to facilitate the conduct the
Census in one single phase and also to accelerate the process of Census, which
involves additional expenditure. Increase in payment of honorarium to
Enumerators & Supervisors etc. by State Governments/UT Administration due
to increase in Enumeration Block, introduction of Verification & Correction
module to refine the data collected with regard to households declared as
PTGs, Scavengers, etc., engagement of additional Data Entry Operators in
order to expedite the SECC exercise and time over run, etc. also added to the
cost escalation.
16. For the year 2014-15, an amount of Rs. 577.00 crore has been
provided in the Budget Estimate (BE) for conducting the BPL Survey/SECC
2011. Out of this, till 15.12.2014, an amount of Rs.100 crore has been released
to the States/UTs and the CPSUs during the current Financial Year. It is expect
ed that the whole SECC 2011 exercise will be completed during 2014-15.
105
Therefore, it is targeted to release up to 80% i.e. Rs.1354.896 crore out of the
overall additional requirement of Rs.1693.63 crore (Rs.1116.63 +Rs. 577).
However, release of this amount will be subject to approval of Expenditure
Finance Committee (EFC) and availability of funds through re-appropriation.
17. There will be drastic changes in the role of the Ministry once the process
of SECC 2011 is completed by the State/UT administrations. Validation and
quality checks of the SECC data would be required. After finalization of the
BPL/Beneficiary list, the Central Server presently maintained by the NIC would
be required to be continuously activated. For this, funds would be required to be
paid to NIC for engaging manpower for maintaining of the server. Besides, the
Ministry will be entrusted with the job of reviewing and updating of the data
created by SECC 2011 as well as the 2002 BPL List on an ongoing basis in
consultation with the States/UTs keeping in view the Supreme Court Order dated
14/02/2006 in Writ Petition no. 196 of 2001. The BPL/Beneficiary list thus
arrived at through the SECC 2011 would be required to be updated at least once
in every six months. For this activity, it would be necessary to release funds to the
States/UTs for taking up various activities like public awareness through
advertisements, honorariums to the officials engaged for post-BPL census/SECC
activities, maintenance/management of SECC database by NIC and maintenance
of a PMU at MoRD level.
Quality Checks
18. The questionnaire and software used in the data collection had been put
to use after conduct of field testing and also on the basis incorporating various
comments received from the stakeholders. The primary data enumerated was
subjected to supervisory check. Before supervisory check, at Charge Centers
the „Data View Module‟ facilitates data quality improvements. And the
supervised data was put through a verification and correction procedure. An
additional module of caste names corrections was also introduced. Lastly the
Claims and Objections settlements and tracking system is also instituted to
ensure the quality of data collected.
Data Analysis for Policy Formulation.
19. Analysis of the Socio Economic Caste data will provide valuable
insights into the multidimensional aspects socio economic life in rural and
urban India. Detailed analysis of data collected is to be taken up by the
MoRD/States/UTs. Currently effort is on to provide dynamic web based
reports on SECC through setting up a new website: www.secc2011.nic.in.
Online reports generation facilities would help analysis by both government
and non-government agencies.
106
Caste Data Corrections and Follow up by ORGI
20. The published draft and final list SECC data will not provide
information on the name of religion and caste names of individuals. At present
only information on the caste categories i.e. SC/TS/Others of each individuals
will be published. It was decided that these caste data will be analyzed based
on the recommendation of a committee to be constituted for the purpose. This
committee is not yet constituted. In the meanwhile the ORGI had identified a
set of typical errors that have been made in the caste name data entry. These
errors are being corrected via the Verification and Correction (V&C) methods.
As the errors were found to be persisting even after carrying out the
corrections an Additional Verification and Correction module was provided
for caste name corrections. Completing the data entry on caste corrections and
analyzing the caste data based on the recommendations of an expert committee
are unfinished tasks.
Use of SECC Data for Scheme Implementation
21. The programme implementation division of MoRD shall be intimating
the States/UT governments on the need for use of SECC data in implementing
the various centrally sponsored schemes like IAY, NSAP etc. Besides the
States/UTs can also use the SECC data for implementing schemes like
National Food Security Act etc. For e.g. the Bihar state has utilized the data
for selection of priority households/families under NFSA.
Protocols for Data Sharing and Updating.
22. The protocols for arriving at the number of people below poverty line,
and for sharing the SECC data with the public and private users are being
worked out. The opinions of States are being called up to formulate
appropriate guidelines on the subject.
23. An outlay of Rs.350 crore has been made for the year 2015-2016.
107

Hyderabad with three Regional Centres of NIRD&PR: the North Eastern
Regional Centre (NERC) at Guwahati, Assam, established in 1983, the Eastern
Regional Centre (ERC) at Patna, Bihar established in 2008 and the NIRD&PR-
Jaipur Centre at Jaipur, Rajasthan established in October 2010, to supplement
the training and research activities of NIRD&PR, to meet specific training the
needs of the North Eastern region, Eastern Region and Northern Regions of
India respectively. On the recommendation of the Committee constituted for
suggesting reform and revamp of NIRD&PR, SIRDs and ETCs, it has been
decided to close down the regional centres at Patna and Jaipur.
1. The management and general control of the institute is vested in the
General Council presided over by the Union Minister of Rural
Development. Besides this, there is an Executive Council presided over
by the Union Minister of Rural Development which is responsible for
the management and administration of the Institute subject to the general
control and direction of the General Council.
2. The vision of NIRD&PR is to focus on training in the field of policies
and programmes that benefit the rural poor, energize the democratic
decentralization process, improve the operational efficiency of rural
development personnel, promote transfer of technology through its
social laboratories, Technology Park and create inclusive environmental
awareness.
132
3. The training programmes are generally of short duration, in no case
exceeding four weeks. However, there are some international training
programmes of 4 to 12 weeks duration attended by the delegates from
developing countries. The institute had planned 1100 programmes in
2013-14 and conducted 1130 programmes. In the year 2014-15, the
Institute had planned 1270 programmes and conducted 850 programmes
upto December. For the year 2015-16, NIRD&PR has proposed 1330
training programmes and 55 research studies.
4. The Institute‟s research, training and consultancy services are availed by
departments of the Central and State Governments, public sector
undertakings, international agencies as well as voluntary agencies and
training institutions involved in rural development. In order to ensure
continous improvement in quality of training, special mechanisms have
been instituted viz TQIMC, use of more effective training
methodologies, improved evaluation mechanisms and regular
monitoring of training programmes.
5. Participants in workshops, seminars and consultations are persons
associated with policymaking, programme implementation and
academicians. Recommendations and action points emerging out of
their deliberations are widely shared with developmental departments
and other agencies. The training activities of the Institute were given
wide coverage through networking of SIRDs. The Institute also
organized 8 international training programmes with the fellowships of
ITEC & SCAAP of Ministry of External Affairs.
6. The research agenda of NIRD &PR extends to rural development
themes like decentralization of developmental processes, empowerment
of local institutions and socially disadvantaged groups, resource
management for sustainable development, transfer of technology to the
poor in farm and non-farm activities, IT applications for rural
development, human resource development, agrarian reforms and rural
poverty. Its research studies lay emphasis on the impact of
developmental initiatives on the livelihoods of core poverty groups and
resource and infrastructure development in eco-fragile regions. The
Institute concentrates mainly on diagnostic and applied research
focusing on rural problems. The conclusions emerging from field
research are tested in real rural situations. The research work is broadly
classified as :
(i) Theme based research concerned with issues relating to vulnerability,
social discrimination, social justice, gaps in social and physical
infrastructure, etc.,
133
(ii) Nation-wide research on major programmes of the government to
identify missing links in implementation and policy options.
(iii) Collaborative research with other institutions and capacity building of
State Institutes of Rural Development (SIRDs) coupled with financing
and guidance for research activities of SIRDs.
7. Out of 28 research projects sanctioned in 2013-14, 14 research studies
have been completed and the rest are continuing. During the year 2014-
15, all together 100 research projects are in progress.
8. The Institute has been evincing greater interest in action research in the
last few years. Its main concerns are to identify and promote conditions
for participatory development, evolve approaches for mobilizing the
poor women especially around developmental issues to empower them,
strengthen Gram Panchayats as vibrant units of local governance,
development and income generation, land reforms etc.
9. Information Resource Base Development is a continuous activity at
Centre for Media and Rural Documentation (CMRD) library which
makes efforts to increase the collection of books and other information
resources on a continuous basis. The library maintains a computerized
database of books and journals, which is updated.
10. To popularize rural technologies, a Rural Technology Park (RTP) has
been set up at the Institute to spread awareness on current rural
technologies and promote rural development spread over 62 acres of
land. The RTP has a Technology Bank. The overall goal of Technology
Bank (Te-bank) initiative is to serve as a platform for collecting and
sharing technology related information with a view to enhancing the
livelihood opportunities for the rural communities including tribal
groups, farmers, landless labourers and rural citizens by linking the
efforts and optimization of technologies of various organizations
working in this direction. The Te-Bank could serve as an institutional
information repository of technologies to ensure a regular flow of
technologies needed for the society. Activities undertaken include
designing the layout and designs of rural houses from different regions,
development of vermi compost, development of aromatic and medicinal
plants and training illiterate women as solar engineers.
134
11. The NIRD & PR has started a one-year Post Graduate Diploma
Programme in Rural Development from August 2008. After the
completion of the Course, all the candidates have received placements in
both private and Government Sectors. All the students of second batch
were offered placement by various organisations. The programme‟s aim
is developing a committed and competent cadre of rural development
management professionals in the country and eventually create a large
pool of professional programme delivery managers whose induction is
vital to the success of the Ministry‟s programmes.
12. In the financial year 2014-15, an amount of Rs. 19.22 crore has been
released to NIRD&PR so far.
13. An outlay of Rs.50.00 crore has been made for 2015-16.

CHAPTER - VII
Management Support to Rural Development
Programmes and Strengthening of District Planning
The Scheme namely „Management Support to Rural Development
Programmes and Strengthening of District Planning ‟ was introduced from
2007-08 with an outlay of Rs. 68.00 crore by consolidating the financial
resources of following schemes Monitoring Mechanism, Information
Education and Communication (IEC), Training, Information Technology (IT)
and International Cooperation (IC). A budget provision of Rs. 130.00 crore has
been made in B.E. 2014-15 and an outlay of Rs.130.00 crore has been made
for 2015-16 for this scheme. The scheme primarily focuses on the following:-
(a) Evolving a comprehensive system for effective monitoring and
evaluation of various rural development programmes through periodical
progress reports, annual conferences, workshops and seminars and inspection
through field visits by Senior Officers of the Ministry, besides carrying out in-
depth studies in the form of concurrent evaluation and impact assessment
studies through reputed and independent research organizations to ascertain
the pace of implementation and impact of these programmes at grass root
level.
(b) Training and skill development of Rural Development functionaries and
members of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) in rural development at Centre,
State and District Block Level by providing financial support to State Institutes
of Rural Development and Extension Training Centers apart from organization
of training courses/seminars/workshops relating to Rural Development
programmes.
(c) Creating awareness amongst citizens on Rural Development
programmes and mobilizing them towards participatory development,
sensitizing opinion makers, urban elites about issues relating to Rural
Development and creating awareness amongst the general public.
(d) Exploiting and utilizing the advances of Information Technology for
effective implementation of Rural Development programmes.
(e) Promoting Regional and International exchange of experience of India
on mutual and multi-lateral basis in the field of Rural Development with other
developing countries with overall objective of Capacity Building of
functionaries involved in rural development.
138
I MONITORING MECHANISM
1. Effective monitoring of the programmes is very important, particularly
in view of the substantial size of the allocation of funds under Rural
Development programmes. It is well recognized that the success of the
development programmes largely depends on the effective delivery system and
efficient implementation at the grassroot level so that the programme benefits
reach the rural poor in full measure. In order to ensure this, the Ministry of
Rural Development (MoRD) has evolved a comprehensive multi-level and
multi-tool system of Monitoring and Evaluation for the implementation of its
programmes. Strict monitoring, periodic evaluations, transparency,
accountability, people‟s involvement and social audit are key elements of the
monitoring evaluation system adopted by the Ministry of Rural Development.
ESTIMATES OF POVERTY
2. Poverty in rural areas declined from 50.1% in 1993-94 to 41.8% on
2004-05 and has further fallen to 25.7% in rural areas in 2011-12 (as per the
estimates made by the Planning Commission). Percentage and Number of Poor
Estimated by Tendulkar method, using Mixed Reference Period (MRP) as
estimated by the Planning Commission for 1993-94 to 2011-12 is given
below:-
Year Poverty Ratio (%) Number of poor (million)

Instruments of Monitoring
The important instruments of monitoring and evaluation mechanism are
briefly outlined as under:
A. Review by Union Ministers
3. The Minister of Rural Development and the Ministers of State for
Rural Development visit States/UTs to review the performance of various
Rural Development programmes with the Chief Ministers, Ministers and
officials of the State Government concerned. Such review meetings provide
valuable inputs on the implementation of the programmes. The need for
ensuring better utilization of funds and delivery of benefits to the target
groups is emphasized in these review meetings.
B. Utilization Certificates/Audit Reports
4. The procedure adopted for release of funds to the States under various
programmes stipulates that the State Governments should furnish
Utilization Certificates to the effect that the funds have been utilized for the
purpose for which these were sanctioned and no diversion has been made.
The auditing of accounts and reports thereon are a pre-condition for the
release of the second and the subsequent installments. State Governments
have been advised to ensure the authenticity of Utilization Certificates. The
States/UTs have also been advised to furnish utilization certificates for each
of the funds released to them under the rural development programmes,
even if the expenditure during the financial year is zero.
C. Performance Review Committee
5. The Ministry has constituted the Performance Review Committee
(PRC) under the chairmanship of Secretary (RD). The PRC has
representation of State Secretaries, in-charge of Rural Development,
Panchayati Raj Department and Social Welfare Department. The other
representatives of the PRC are drawn from the Central
Ministries/Departments of Ministry of Finance, Statistics & Programme
Implementation, Environment & Forests, NITI Aayog (earlier Planning
Commission). During the year 2014-15, the meeting of the PRC of all the
States/UTs was held on 5th
-6th
June, 2014, 18th
-19th
September, 2014 and
13th
-14th
January, 2015 in New Delhi. The Committee reviewed the
performance of various programmes being implemented in States/UTs.
Appropriate recommendations were made for corrective action, wherever
found necessary.
140
D. Concurrent Evaluation/Impact Assessment
6. The Ministry of Rural Development undertakes Concurrent
Evaluation/Impact assessment studies from time to time, through reputed
and independent Research Institutions/Organizations. The main objectives
of these Evaluation Studies are to evaluate the performance of the schemes
at the grass root level, and to assess the impact of the programmes including
identifying the problems in course of implementation so as to make mid-
course corrections, wherever necessary. During 2014-15, the evaluation
study of MGNREGA was launched and the concurrent evaluation and
impact assessment of IAY has been initiated.
E. On-Line Reporting through Management Information System (MIS)
7. The Government of India has emphasized the need on e-governance
in all possible areas to streamlines the reporting system. Earlier Monthly
Progress Reports (MPRs) containing financial and physical achievements
were submitted by States/DRDAs/ Zila Panchayats on-line. Now with the
installation of Management Information System (MIS) of each programmes,
besides financial and physical achievements, many more process related
parameters of the programmes are captured and reported. In general, this
process related parameters are captured and reported at various levels viz.,
beneficiary, household, village/Gram Panchayat, Block and District.
F. Web Based Monitoring
(i) Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
(MGNREGA)
8. A web enabled MIS (NREGASoft) has been hosted at
http://www.nrega.nic.in. NREGASoft allows recording of transaction details
and it is available in public domain. Aadhaar based payments are also being
tracked on NREGASoft. All critical parameters, viz., (a) workers'
entitlement data and documents such as registration, job cards, muster rolls,
(b) work selection and execution data including shelf of approved and
sanctioned works, work estimates, works under execution, measurement, (c)
employment demanded and provided and (d) financial indicators such as
funds available, funds released, and the disaggregated structure of fund
utilizations to assess the amount paid as wages, materials and administrative
expenses are monitored in public domain. These enable transparency and
accountability at all levels of implementation.
141
(ii) National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM)
9. NRLM MIS (http://nrlm.gov.in/) comprises of modules on block
details, core staff details, managing allocation and expenditure, banks
details, cluster information, Self Help Group (SHG) bank linkage
information and SHG report cards. Analytical reports are also available to
facilitate monitoring of NRLM. Further for Deen Dayal Upadhyaya
Grameen Koushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY; erstwhile Aajeevika Skills),
Aajeevika Skills Development and Monitoring Solution (ASDMS;
http://www.asdms.net.in/) is designed to serve as a gateway for use by
Ministry, State Skills Missions and Project Implementation
Agencies (PIAs). The portal also provides information and reports to the
general public.
(iii) Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)
10. A modern Management and Monitoring System called On-line
Management, Monitoring and Accounting System (OMMAS) has been set
up for the PMGSY (http://www.ommas.nic.in). Monitoring modules include
Connectivity Status, Procurement Status, Physical and financial progress,
Account and Quality monitoring. The main Application Software Modules
are (i) Rural Road Plan & Core Network, (ii) Proposals, (iii) Tendering &
Contracting, (iv) Execution, (v) Quality Monitoring, (vi) and (vi) Payments
& Funds Flow (works accounts). The Payment and Fund Flow module
would also be operationalised. A feedback module has also been added to
receive the complaints/suggestions online. Details of the PMGSY scheme,
guidelines, agencies involved, role and responsibilities, progress etc. can be
accessed at www.pmgsy.nic.in.
(iv) Indira Aawas Yojana (lAY)
11. A web based Management Information „AwaasSoft‟
(http://iay.nic.in/) for IAY has been developed to enable work flow based
transaction level MIS to facilitate e-governance in the system. The features
of AwaasSoft are single window interface for all stakeholders, workflow
automation of rural housing scheme across the country, information
dissemination, better record keeping and financial accounting for all
stakeholders. Information captured by AwaasSoft includes fund released
from MoRD/States and subsequent releases from Districts, Blocks, Gram
Panchayats to the beneficiary. It tracks construction of houses, funds release
beneficiary wise, inspection and verification of houses. It generates various
reports as specified in the guidelines.
142
(v) National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP)
12. The web-based monitoring is done through http://nsap.nic.in/.
Monthly Progress Reports, Data Gap Report, Beneficiary Search,
Beneficiary Abstract, Sanction Abstract, Beneficiaries Linked to Pension
Disbursement Authority (PDA), Monthly Fund Transfer Report, State
Abstract, Disbursement Abstract, State Summary, Dashboard, Sanction
order release, Pension payment details, Aadhaar details are available on the
monitoring system.
(vi) Vigilance and MonitoringCommittees(VMCs)
13. Vigilance Monitoring Committees were in existence at various levels,
including village level, under different programmes of the Ministry. However,
these Committees had very little representation from Members of Parliament.
Keeping the importance of involving the Members of Parliament in the
monitoring of these Schemes, Vigilance and Monitoring Committees (VMCs)
were set up at district and State levels in the year 2002, in supersession of all
the vigilance monitoring Committees at various levels under different
programmes. These VMCs at State and district levels are expected to function
as an important instrument for effective monitoring of implementation of the
programmes of the Ministry of Rural Development with a crucial role for the
Members of Parliament and elected representatives of people in State
Legislatures and Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) in reviewing the
implementation of the programmes of the Ministry of Rural Development.
The VMC at district level is required to monitor the programmes of the
Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Ministry of Panchayati Raj and RGGVY of
Ministry of Power also.
14. The Chairman of the State level V&MC is Minister of Rural Development
of the State and Secretary-in-charge of Rural Development programmes is the
Member Secretary. The members of the Committee include 4 MPs of Lok
Sabha, 1 MP of Rajya Sabha, 5 MLAs, representatives of SC/ST/Women, 4
Non-officials, 2 NGOs and officials, Chief Post Master General of the postal
circle. The Chairman of the District level V&MC would be a member of
Parliament (Lok Sabha) elected from the district and the District
Collector/District Magistrate would be the Member Secretary. The other
members include all MPs(lok Sabha) from the district, One Rejya Sabha MP
representing the State and exercise option to be associated with district level
committee, all members of the State Legislative Assembly elected from the
district, chairperson of the Zila Panchayat, all chairpersons of the Panchayat

DRDA, one member from a reputed NGO in the district to be
143
nominated by the chairman, one professional from the field of Social Science
to be nominated by the District Collector, one representative each of SC/ST &
women to be nominated by the chairman in consultation with other MPs in the
Committee.
15. After the constitution of 16th Lok Sabha, the Ministry of Rural
Development has issued revised guidelines on 8th August, 2014 for
reconstituting State and District level VMCs and nominated Chairman/Co-
Chairman for district level VMCS. The Members of Parliament nominated as
members for State level VMCs was also circulated on 19th September, 2014.
16. The VMC guidelines have been revised keeping in view recommendations
contained in the 46th Report and 51
st Report of the Standing Committee on
„Working of Vigilance & Monitoring Committees in States/UTs.
The main features of revision of the guidelines and other related
instructions include the following:
Member Secretary is personally responsible for convening the Meetings

District level VMCs are to review the disbursement/utilization of
funds and physical progress under each scheme;
144
Non Officials are not expected to undertake field inspection in their
individual capacity. The Committee or a Sub-Committee under the
Chairmanship of the Member of Parliament may undertake field
visits/inspections of works taken up under various schemes of the
Ministry;
Non-Officials are not authorized to use the State Emblem in their
stationery.
Guidelines for nomination of Non-Official Members and representatives
of NGOs to the State level VMCs with a view to make it more
transparent and to ensure quality of such members.
Procedure has been prescribed to ensure better coordination with the
State Governments and the nodal Ministries as the scope of district level
VMCs has expanded;
Time lines have been prescribed for issue of meeting notice, agenda note
& proceedings of VMC meetings and for follow up action on
recommendations of the VMCs so that the VMCs could monitor the
programmes effectively.
17. The Ministry has been vigorously pursuing with the State Governments
and district administrations to convene Meetings as per guidelines particularly
in view of the responsibility of the Member Secretary to convene the
Meetings. Chairman and co-chairman of new State level and District level
VMCs committee have already been nominated. Selection of other members of
the committees is under process.
National Level Monitors (NLMs)
18. The Scheme was launched during the year 2003-04 with a view to achieve
the purpose of unbiased and objective monitoring of the schemes of the
Ministry in a systematic and regular manner. The scheme was first revamped
in the year 2011 and revised guidelines issued. In the revamped scheme,
Defence Service Officers retired at least at the level of Colonel; Civil
Service/Public Sector Undertaking Officers retired at least at the level of
Deputy Secretary to the Government of India; and Non-Governmental
Institutions having experience in social sector and credibility were to be
empanelled as NLMs.
145
19. In order to improve the empanelment procedure and appraisal of
performance of NLMs, the scheme was again revamped in the year 2014 as per
the recommendation of Expert Committee constituted under the Chairmanship
of Shri S.S. Meenakshisundaram, IAS(Retd.), former Secretary to GOI, for
assessment and empanelment of NLMs. Now, the prominent institutions
would be empanelled as NLMs. The NLMs will be deputed by the Ministry
for following three types of monitoring assignments:-
(i) Regular monitoring of major RD Schemes: The NLMs would be
deputed for regular monitoring to monitor and report on various aspects of
implementation of RD schemes, in two phases. About half of the districts will
be covered in each phase so that all the districts of the country can be covered
in a year. The NLMs are required to visit the districts, ascertain the
implementation of the programmes viz-a-viz the guidelines, interact with
officials, verify the assets created and interview the beneficiaries and
submit report within a given time frame. Regular workshops would be
organized every year, at regional levels, for experience sharing.
(ii) Special Monitoring of Individual Schemes: NLMs can be deputed to
cover a particular scheme or some specific aspects of a particular scheme only
and report on the issues/processes in detail based on the requirements
suggested by the programme divisions and approved by the Secretary.
Limited number of special Monitoring rounds may be undertaken every year
for in-depth coverage or certain specific features of a programme.
(iii) Complaints/Enquiries: In case of complaints of serious nature from
people‟s representatives, NGOs, etc. regarding mis-utilization of funds,
irregularities etc., NLMs may be deputed to verify the facts or for a
preliminary enquiry.
20. The NLMs are required to visit the districts, ascertain the
implementation of the programmes viz-a-viz the guidelines, interact with
officials, verify the assets created and interview the villagers and
submit their report within a given time frame. The NLMs deputed to a
State are also required to interact with the Secretary or Senior Officers
in-charge of RD Schemes in the State. Regular workshops are also
organized every year, at regional levels, for experience sharing with the state
Governments.
21. With these initiatives, the quality of implementation of the rural
development programmes is expected to improve considerably during 2015-
16.
146
Area Officers Scheme
22. Ministry of Rural Development introduced an Area Officers Scheme
w.e.f. 1.1.1994 as an important monitoring mechanism for implementation of
major programmes of the Ministry. The scheme was framed with a clear
objective of directly monitoring the programmes of the Ministry with special
reference to quality of assets created, adherence to implementation schedule,
flow of funds, proper utilization of funds and achievements of physical and
financial targets etc. through field visits. The visit of the Area Officer is not
intended to be for fault finding. The visits would facilitate improvements in the
efficiency and efficacy of implementation of the programmes of the Ministry,
through close hand-holding with the stake holders.
23. The Area Officers Scheme has been modified in the year 2014 and
under the revised scheme, the Principal Area Officers (PAO)/Area
Officers(AO) have the following functional responsibilities:
(i) PAOs to facilitate the visit of the team of Officers to the field by
speaking and writing to the States concerned.
(ii) After Additional Secretary (RD) finalises the team for each quarter with
a meeting of all PAOs, the Joint Secretaries of the Programme Divisions
will have pre-interaction with the teams on the generic issues and the
State specific issues. Also they will sensitize the teams on the
programmes and discuss on the expectations from the visit.
(iii) PAOs actively participate in formation of teams and allocation of States
among the teams. Also they will ensure that the team members are
allowed to travel on the predetermined dates.
(iv) The teams of Officers will also discuss with the Collector the
functioning of VMCs in the district during their visit. If meetings are not
held regularly, reasons are to be ascertained.
(v) Reports of the NLMs who have visited the district during the year may
also be used both at district and State levels.
(vi) During the visit, the team should meet the beneficiaries and people‟s
representatives (including PRIs) and interact with them to get feedback
about the quality and other aspects of the programmes;
147
(vii) After the field visit, the team will have post-interaction with the
Secretary/Commissioner (RD) of the State on the issues noticed. Also
the PAO for the State will join the team during the post interaction
session.
(viii) Each team after the visit within one fortnight need to submit Tour
Reports covering policy related issues, implementation issues, best
practices, details of the meeting with State/district officials, action
required at the Ministry/State level, feedback from State level officials
and photographs of his field visits, to his Principal Area Officer.
(ix) After the team submits its report a presentation will be made in a
separate meeting of the senior Officers on a pre-decided date. NIC will
also be invited to attend the separate meeting to resolve any software
related issues flagged during the presentations.
(x) Policy issues raised by the team should be decided upon as far as
possible in the presentation session itself.
24. The findings/observations of the Area Officers are discussed in the
Ministry to explore the possibilities of mid course modifications in the
programme guidelines and also policy level changes.
II. Information, Education and Communication (IEC) 25. Information, Education and Communication (IEC) plays a vital role in
creating awareness about the programmes of the Ministry of Rural
Development amongst the target audience.
26. Ministry aims at planning and execution of IEC activities to create
awareness amongst the target groups in the rural areas. IEC activities assume
more significance in the context publicizing the programmes of the Ministry
which aim at improving the socio-economic conditions and which need to be
implemented effectively in a time bound manner.
27. The Ministry has a well laid IEC strategy and has been endeavoring for
the past few years to disseminate information through both the traditional as
well as modern communication media viz., press, radio, TV, printed material,
outdoor contact programmes, folk & traditional medium etc.
148

implementation of rural development programmes by providing financial
support to State Institutes of Rural Development (SIRDs) and Extension
Training Centres (ETCs). The SIRDs and ETCs are State institutes for
imparting training in the field of rural development to rural development
functionaries and elected representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions and
others at State level and at District/Block level respectively. The Ministry also
provides financial assistance for organizing training
courses/seminars/workshops under the Scheme “Organization of Training
Courses”.

33. The Centrally Sponsored Scheme for Establishment and Strengthening
of State Institutes of Rural Development (SIRD) (now Central Sector Scheme
after merging with the new scheme “Management Support to RD programmes
and Strengthening of District Planning Process” ) was taken up for
implementation during the VIth Five Year Plan. The scheme was continued
during the subsequent Plans to revitalize infrastructure for training rural
development functionaries for implementing programmes more effectively.
Twenty-eight SIRDs all over the country are operational with one in each
State.
34. Following the enactment of the 73rd
Constitutional Amendment, it was
decided to strengthen the existing training infrastructure at the State and
district/block levels to meet the training requirements of elected
representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions and officials. For this purpose,
the funding pattern of the scheme was modified in 1994-95. 100% Central
assistance is being provided to SIRDs for non-recurring expenditure while
recurring expenditure is shared equally between the Central and State
governments. Central assistance is also provided for the procurement of 5 core
faculty members in each SIRD. From 2010-11, the recurring expenditure in
respect of N.E. States and Sikkim is shared in the ratio of 90:10 between
Centre and States. The scheme is operated on demand driven basis.

CHAPTER - VIII
GENDER AND SC/ST BUDGETING
EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN
Women and men from various social groups are positioned differently in
society- in the workplace and family- and have different responsibilities and
needs. Due to this, women and men have different experiences, knowledge,
talents and needs. No society can develop successfully without providing
equitable opportunities, resources, and life prospects for males and females so
that they can shape their own lives and contribute to their families and
communities. Gender equality and women empowerment are core
development objectives, fundamental for the realization of human rights and
key to effective and sustainable development outcomes. In a social set up like
ours, the participation of women in the development process has to be ensured
through tangible measures taken at various levels which result in
empowerment of women in the real sense. In view of above government has
taken a conscious view to make adequate provisions in its policies and
programmes through which it is to be ensured that the women of the country
are empowered and they become the active participants in the development
process. The Hon‟ble President of India has also taken initiative to achieve
convergence of the Government programmes for empowerment of women and
to fight social evils. The Department of Rural Development has also set up a
Task Force to achieve an effective convergence with the programmes of other
Ministries/Departments. The guidelines of various programmes of the
Department of Rural Development have been formulated in the above
perspective.
2. Within the spheres of our democratic polity, our laws, development
policies, plans and programmes have aimed at women‟s advancement in
different spheres. Department of Rural Development has several programmes
and schemes which aim in poverty alleviation, livelihoods security and social
protection, which make women and girls central to each and every programme
in its design, implementation, budgeting and monitoring. These programmes
have special components for Women and funds are earmarked as „Women‟s
Component‟ to ensure flow of adequate resources for the purpose. The major
schemes, having women‟s Component implemented by the Ministry of Rural
Development include the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM)
and the Indira Awas Yojana (IAY). The implementation of these programmes
is monitored specifically with reference to coverage of women.
161
3. While the benefits of the above mentioned programmes flowing to the
women can be measured in quantitative terms, however, in respect of other
programmes such as Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), it is not
always so easy to collect the segregated data reflecting the direct benefits
flowing to the rural women. But these programmes do have a significant
impact on the living conditions of the rural women, e.g., providing
connectivity through the rural roads may enhance the opportunities for the girl
child to have an access to the education facilities.
4. Similarly, the rural women may have an easy access to the health
facilities, local market which may not only increase their productivity but may
also increase their awareness which goes a long way to change the traditional
social structure and resulting in the improvement of the status of the rural
women. The crèche facilities at the worksite is an enabling provision for
women to participate in the development programmes and reap the benefits
from the same. In addition to this other progressive gender provisions are, one
third of the registered workers should be women, equal pay for equal work,
while selecting mates, women and differently-able people will be given due
priority. The brief description of the progarmmes with specific gender
provision is as under:
(a) Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
(MGNREGS):
5. The MGNREGA guarantees 100 days of employment in a financial year
to any rural household whose adult members are willing to do unskilled
manual work. It is provided in the Act that while providing employment,
priority shall be given to women in such a way that at least 1/3rd
of the
beneficiaries shall be women who have registered and requested for work
under the Scheme.
6. The employment generated for women during 2013-14 and 2014-15 is
as under:
Year Employment Generated (person days in crores)
Total Women % of women to
total
2013-14 220.22 116.24 53
2014-15( upto Dec.,14) 121.25 67.32 56
7. To increase women participation in the Scheme, major initiatives are
being suggested including, opening individual bank/post office accounts for all
women workers, identifying and providing Job Cards to widowed, deserted
and destitute women, who qualify as a household under the Act.
162
(b) National Rural Livelihood Mission - Aajeevika:
8. The National Rural Livelihood Mission(NRLM) was launched on 3rd
June, 2011 after restructuring of Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojna
(SGSY), and is being implemented in a phased manner following two
approaches i.e. intensive and non intensive. The Swarnajayanti Gram
Swarozgar Yojna (SGSY) has been discontinued completely since April, 2013.
The existing MIS system of monthly reporting covers only intensive approach
of NRLM. As on December, 2014, out of total 5821 rural blocks in the
country (except UTs), intensive implementation of NRLM was in progress in
1789 blocks.
9. National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) does not have any
provisions for assisting individual swarozgaris. NRLM is mandated to
promote only women SHGs and each SHG has, on an average, 12 women
members. The coverage of Women Swarozgaris during 2013-14 and 2014-15
is as under :-

( As on 31.12.2014) 12.70 12.70 100
(c) The Indira Awas Yojana (IAY):
10. IAY aims at providing assistance for the construction of houses for
people Below the Poverty Line in rural areas. It is stipulated that IAY house
shall be jointly in the name of husband and wife except in the case of a
widow/unmarried/separated person. The State may also choose to allot it
solely in the name of the woman. However, in the case of beneficiaries
selected under the quota for persons with disabilities, the allotment should be
only to such persons.
163
11. The total number of Dwelling Units sanctioned in the name of women
during the period 2013-14 and 2014-15 is as under:

12. Poverty is indivisible phenomenon and encompasses, apart from income
poverty, deprivation of rights and freedoms including education, health, safety
and access to basic amenities that facilitate and help in building
human capability and empower them. Equal opportunity to all, particularly to
those who are from socially disadvantaged groups, is an essential component
of any development intervention. It is primarily due to their exclusion from
mainstream development and lack of access to various health and basic
infrastructure service that bear directly on their entitlement and capability. It
therefore stresses the need to make a paradigm shift based on participatory
development. In view of above, the Ministry of Rural Development have
initiated various intervention to enable these groups to become partners in their
development and holistic development of rural areas in the county. The
Ministry has made specific provisions in the guidelines of the programmes to
ensure adequate flow of resources to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes. Ministry of Rural Development has been earmarking the funds for
Scheduled Caste Sub Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) under Indira
Awaas Yojana (IAY) and Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana
(SGSY)/NRLM. Further provision have also been made in the Scheme
Guidelines to increase the participation of SCs and STs. The details of
assistance provided to the SCs and STs under major Rural Development
programmes are given below:-
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (Mahatma
Gandhi NREGA)
13. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
(MGNREGA) guarantees 100 days of employment in a financial year to any rural
household whose adult members are willing to do unskilled manual work. The Act
came into force in 200 selected districts of the country w.e.f. 2nd
February, 2006.
164
Now all the districts of the country have been brought under the ambit of this Act
from April, 2008. MGNREGA is a demand driven scheme, therefore, separate
earmarking of employment/resources for SCs/STs has not been provided.
14. However, as per reports of physical achievement received from State
Governments, employment generated for SCs and STs during 2013-14 and 2014-

of the society such that 50% of the beneficiaries are SC/STs, 15% are
minorities and 3% are persons with disability, while keeping in view the
ultimate target of 100% coverage of BPL families. SHGs having 50% or more
members belonging to SCs and STs are labeled as pre-dominantly SCs and
predominantly STs SHGs.

Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY)
19. The Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY) is being implemented at the National
level with the objective of providing dwelling units to the people who are
below poverty line living in rural areas. As per scheme guidelines, at the
national level, 60% of funds would be earmarked for SCs and STs with the
proportion between SCs and STs being decided from time to time by the
Ministry of Rural Development. Under the scheme, there was no separate
allocation made for the SCs/STs upto 2010-11. From the year 2011-12 funds
are earmarked for Special Component Plan for Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribe Sub Plan. However, it was observed that the utilization of
funds for SC/STs as also physical achievement started declining gradually.
States reported their inability to achieve targets due to the mismatch between
targets allocated to districts and the availability of eligible beneficiaries of
SC/STs and exhaustion of identified beneficiaries in the waitlist.
20. During 2014-15, an amount of Rs.5646.40 crore for SCSP and
Rs.3953.60 crore for TSP have been earmarked. Similarly, for 2015-16, an
amount of Rs. 3443.52crore for SCSP and Rs.2571.48 crore for TSP has been
earmarked.

22. To overcome the problem of under utilization and to improve the target
achievement for SC/STs, following initiatives have been taken:
The State Governments were regularly persuaded in the Coordinating
Officers meetings for IAY and also in PRC meetings to enhance the
achievement for SC/STs. Whenever deserving families have been left
out of the waitlist, they may be included for purposes of coverage.
In order to achieve a fairer and equitable system of allocation during the
year 2013-14, 60% target for SC/STs was maintained at Central level,
and distributed to the States in proportion to the population of SC/STs in
the States.
In order to harmonize allocation and availability of eligible beneficiaries
the State Governments have been directed to allocate district-wise
physical targets for SC/STs based on the proportionate population in the
district and the funds were released accordingly.
Flexibility has been provided to States to transfer SC/ST targets between
districts in case of lack of beneficiaries in any particular district.
In the revised guidelines, provision has been made for sanction of
special projects for particularly vulnerable primitive tribal groups
(PVTGs). The Ministry has also directed States to cover families of
bonded labourers and manual scavengers in a targeted manner and
States have been directed to prepare proposals for sanction of houses
under „Special Project‟.
