watches, bicycles, sprinklers, chaff cutters, but declines are observed in carts, diesel pumpsets, and other agricultural implements. Suggestions There are many lessons to be learnt in the processes and outcomes. There are many grey areas where added efforts and more systematic approach to issues would have led to better performance. All stakeholders have something to learn because all were found wanting. Any intervention of such a magnitude is bound to have varied experiences for different stakeholders. It appears that enroute modifications are necessary to achieve better results. Poor have limited capacity to realize fuller gains from such interventions. Sustainability of assets and skills would go a long way in future to help poor get out poverty. Clusters need to be formed to help create demands and service supply channels. State has its limitations and civil society involvement can go to an extent; their capacities in terms of manpower and interventions are limited too. Panchayati Raj Institutions can only keep checks and balances as the rural communities are increasingly at crossroads to share limited gains that accrue from such interventions. Such programs need to synergize with other on-going activities in the village. Systems needs to made simple that can be easily adopted. Capacity building component has been weak, greater thinking and dedication is required. The whole training procedure is not result oriented, but more of a formality. Training has to be better designed. The group formation process appeared to be more adhoc, rather than reflecting sound group formation theory and processes. Not all NGOs have equal capacity to form groups that are to be income generating ones in the end. No where it appeared that skill mapping was done of individuals and market survey was done to facilitate activities. Here facilitating institutions has not performed the required role. Dairy sector is easier than other sectors because for a primary producer the effort ends with sale of milk, but in other micro enterprises forward linkages at times are to be developed and they may also keep changing with changing demand. The task also is not easy. It must be recognized that poor are not a homogeneous group. Any planning and intervention must keep this in focus. There is a need to have a re-look at the tendering procedure for groups. The present procedure has a danger of corruption creeping in. Not for all trades/ activities/ assets tenders can be obtained. Asset costs should be fully met. Circulars should be simple and few. There have instances been where more problems were created than solving them. Clarity is must of procedures for better results. The externalities generated by infrastructure projects should be capitalized. The flow of inward services should be effectively used. DPIP should be meshed with programs like NREGA to create infrastructure that can be used by CIGs. 138
Subsidy should be reduced and should have regional variations. Poor households at times cannot pay it. First savings should be promoted and it would help in consolidation of the group. There should be proper monitoring at the district level using trained staff and personnel. Periodic trainings programs should be planned; one time training does not help much. Effective involvement of PRIs members is desired from the beginning in selection of the poor people. A core team at the block level should verify the credential and status of the poor as at present 18-20 percent of BPL are not actually BPL. Documentation should be advised to all groups. It can help in error corrections. A committee comprising of all stakeholders should do the purchasing. It could be at block level or even at lower level. A representative of DPMU should be involved. Physical verification of assets should be periodically done. DPMU staff should be especially trained and have minimum 3 years tenure and their evaluation should also be done. Group meetings should be enforced and register be maintained. It should be binding. The size of the group should be flexible and attempt should be to have greater homogeneity within the group. As far as possible, the choice of activity should be left to the CIG members. However, choice- making can be facilitated through increased knowledge/ information which DPMU can undertake. Finally, DPIP has made positive impact on economic and social status of the beneficiaries. It did face problems in the processes that impacted the outcomes to an extent. However, still miles to go before real poor are able to have sustainable livelihoods. 139
