Info

• Fixed assets should be made available individually. Group assets create divisions. • Efforts should be to cover the full cost of the asset. • CIG members should be trained twice in project period and their income review should be done by the agencies. • There should be a district nodal agency overseeing all tasks. • There should be a link institution between DPMU and NGOs. The nodal agency should have the responsibility for raw material, training and market linkages. • The tasks of NGO should be clearly defined in the beginning. Attempt should be not to revise the guidelines periodically. It hinders the work culture of such organizations. • There should be only one time contract with the NGO. No periodic extensions should be given. Output should be clearly defined. • The remuneration of NGO staff should go directly to their bank account to avoid corruption. • NGO should have regular staff for the project and the DPC should be fixed. It should not be changed periodically. • NGO should not be bound to employ all types of experts with qualifications. They should be allowed to use in-house experts on the subject. For instance, if the NGO is not working on micro enterprise, why they should employ experts for micro enterprises. • There should be annual training programs for NGO staff of the project. • Line departments should be made accountable for the program. Files are held up in line departments for long. A minimum time of 15 days should be fixed for clearing of all files. • Circulars should be local condition based. PRI • At the time of formation of groups only BPL list should be the basis. Also P1 should be used to screen needy individuals. 134
• Group formation should be done under the gram sabha supervision only. It would help in screening needy people again. Verification could also be done by the panchayat. • Regular meeting of the groups be held under the chairmanship of ward panches every month. • Regular training of PRIs should be done on the aspects of the program every year. • Panchayat members should have records of all developmental activities being undertaken. General Comments of Villagers • Villagers feel that the program is good as it provides lots of flexibility to poor individuals involved in the program to choose activities. • There was lees awareness about the program in Baran District. Most villagers took it as government loan, which they have to repay latter. Only BPL individual s had greater awareness. • Most people desire community and infrastructure activities because the whole village benefits. • Most villagers argued that very needy are not benefited. This they argue is reflected by the list of selected individuals. The selection of BPL family itself is faulty. • Villagers feel that there is now division of the village into APL and BPL. APL families now have started considering themselves poor. The impact of all this is that now APL families also try to get themselves enlisted as BPL through all means. • Villagers openly criticized the functioning of CF. They argued that CF is not honest and a villain. It was also argued that many a cases BPLs were left out and CF using P1 linked their known persons with the program. • Villagers also alleged corruption by CF in purchases. They had invariably purchased asset from known firms and took commission. This at times also led to higher cost for the asset. • Villagers argued that selection of beneficiaries/ individuals should be done by outside agencies. • Villagers also were not happy about the way selection of CF is made. They pointed out that agency selected those individuals suitable to it. The selection should be through the gram sabha. • Most activities were not selected keeping group’s choice. Activities have been imposed on the groups. Traditional jobs should get weight-age in selection of activities. This discussion reveals the interests of various groups/ stakeholders. Some of the suggestions are appropriate that can help in better functioning of the DPIP. 135
