Monitoring

Nigrani Samitis in the villages

Jharkhand :

Village Level Committees for rural areas(Meetings conducted once every 2 months)

Town Level Committees for town areas(Meetings conducted once every 2 months)

Nagaland :

Contrary to guidelines, little or no community involvement in most of the states; No system of social audit

Monitoring

Major Constraints :Limited staff & simultaneous implementation of many schemes

Reportedly periodic review meetings & field visits at State and districts

Lack of clearly defined monitoring norms in terms of category of works & designated officials and frequency in most states

Convenience Monitoring !

“Strict monitoring schedule should be a part of the implementation process itself‘” (Para-6.6.1)

Sustainability/Maintenance

In most states, maintenance of durable assets with Line Department

Village panchayat/user group to maintain community-based assets (wells, lift irrigation schemes, community centers, etc.)

Major Constraints :Lack of funds resulting in poor maintenance, leading to sub-optimal utilization of assets created

“In case of the community assets, future maintenance is to be built into the program” (Para-4.2.10)

Impact of RSVY Interventions

Increased agriculture productivity Improved economic status Improved health conditions Improved rural connectivity Improved quality of life
