inadequate time to reach out to the targeted rural households alsomake the schemes reach not only untimely but also undeserving..Therefore, in order to provide the human face at the last mileconnectivity with the rural households, it is envisaged to use thepotential youth in the name of Bharat Nirman Volunteers (BNVs) tocreate awareness about all welfare and development programmesamong rural households for better planning and qualityimplementation of programmes with transparency andaccountability. Why should they work voluntarily ?Over a period of time, rural fabric has suffered a unhemmable teardue to factors like mushrooming of local power groups, lack ofunity among various communities, lack of awareness about issuesconcerning them, indifference of the service delivery sectors,nepotism , corruption, lack of awareness about procedural aspects ofprogramme implementation, etc.Therefore, the benefits of differentgovernment programmes are not reaching the poor deservinghouseholds.Therefore, participation of rural families in the processof planning and implementation of various welfare and developmentprogrammes is found to be inadequate. Therefore, voluntaryinvolvement of villagers themselves, particularly youth was foundnecessary for the following reasons. Youth is looking for opportunities to participate in socio-economicchange Village development means development of their own households,therefore, they see their role Since they are from the same village, their work gets them a word ofpraise
Some of them unemployed find working in a group enjoyable andappreciative until they get employed and may even leave the village Volunteerism gives self-respect and recognition BNVs found perceptible change in their personality/attitudes In the event of achieving any milestones, the feeling that “we did it”gives enormous self-esteem APARD found every volunteer genuinely interested in enhancing thequality of living in his/her village How did AMR-APARD build the cadre of BharatNirman Volunteers across the state ?APARD has been getting reports of incredible achievements of BNVsfrom various monitoring sources. APARD had been successfullydocumenting them, too. In order to sustain their enthusiasm and initialmomentum triggered by a very carefully crafted training programme,they were asked to participate in a videoconference along with theirsarpanches and facilitators on 01-08-2011.All the 22 districts and their BNVs have participated to share theirachievements with indefinable enthusiasm. A videoconference that wasoriginally scheduled for two hours was compelled to be stretched to 3hours, but still there were some BNVs who were found dissatisfied astheir achievements were not fully narrated.In the presentation of the volunteers from the twenty two districtsof Andhra Pradesh, trained at APARD, and involved in the planning anddevelopment of their respective villages, there was a stunning vision ofthe revelation of a huge promise and immense hope from/in the APexperiment of scaling up the Cheeded experiment to seventy eight gram
