Annual Report 2012-13II. DEMOGRAPHIC SCENARIO/COMPOSITION OF ORISSA2.1 TRIBAL SCENEOdisha occupies a unique position among theIndian States and Union Territories for havinga rich and colourful tribal scenario. Majority ofScheduled Tribes live in hilly and forest regions.Their economy is largely subsistence oriented,non stratified and non-specialized. Their socialsystem is simple and aspirations and needs arelimited. Though the Scheduled Tribes in Odishahave suffered from social, educational andeconomic backwardness due to geo-historicalreasons, they have their own distinctiveness andsocial-cultural milieu. The process of socioeconomicdevelopment is going on afterindependence and has picked up momentum.62 Scheduled Tribes in Odisha speak as manyas 74 dialects. Their ethos, ideology, worldview,value-orientations and cultural heritage are richand varied. At one end of the scale there arenomadic food gatherers and hunters and at theother end, skilled settled agriculturists andhorticulturists. The tribal areas of Odisha,therefore, present an extremely diverse socioeconomicpanorama.According to 2001 Census, the tribal populationof the State is 81,45,081 constituting 22.13% ofthe total population of the State and 9.66% ofthe total tribal population of our country. Thereare 62 different tribal communities including 13Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs)in the State. Odisha has the third largestconcentration of tribal population in thecountry. About 44.70% of the State’sgeographical area which is known as ScheduledArea, extends over 118 out of 314 Blocks in 12districts and and a portion of Soroda Tahsil ofGanjam District and covers Scheduled Tribepopulation of 55,46,081 (as per 2001 censusfigure). This accounts for about 68.09% of thetotal tribal population of the State. Theremaining tribal population inhabits in MADA/ Cluster pockets and is dispersed in other areasthat are covered under the Dispersed TribalDevelopment Programme (DTDP).The rate of literacy among the Scheduled Tribesis 37.37% against the overall literacy rate of63.08% of the State as per 2001 census. The tribalmale and female literacy rates are 51.48% and23.37% respectively. Over the last decade, therehas been a significant improvement in literacylevel among the STs in the State, which recordedan increase from 22.31% in 1991 to 37.37% in2001.

Annual Report 2012-13III. THE SCHEDULED AREA AND TRIBAL SUB-PLAN (TSP)3.1 IntroductionAbout 44.70% of the area of the state has beennotified as the Scheduled Area in accordancewith the orders of the President of India, issuedunder paragraph 6 of the Fifth Schedule to theConstitution. The Scheduled Area in Orissacomprises the entire districts of Mayurbhanj,Koraput, Malkangiri, Rayagada, Nawarangapur,Sundargarh, and Kandhamals district,R.Udayagiri Tahasil, Gumma & RayagadaBlocks, of Gajapati Soroda Tahasil, excludingGazalbadi and Gochha Panchayats of Ganjamdistrict, Kuchinda Tahasil of Sambalpur district,Telkoi, Keonjhar, Champua and Barbil Tahasilsof Keonjhar district, Th. Rampur and Lanjigarhblocks of Kalahandi district and Nilagiri block ofBalasore district.3.2 Tribal Sub-Plan ApproachThe Tribal Sub-Plan strategy has been adoptedsince the beginning of the Fifth Five Year Plan(1974-75), which continues to shape the corestrategy for tribal development. This strategy isbased on area development approach withadequate emphasis on family oriented incomegenerating activities taking a comprehensive viewof tribal problems with the objective to narrowdown the gap of socio-economic developmentbetween Tribals and others, within theframework of Nation’s Five Year Plans. TheTribal Sub-Plan (TSP) approach envisagesintegrated development of the Tribal areas,wherein all programmes irrespective of theirsources of funding operate in unison to achievethe common goal of bringing the area at par withthe rest of the State and to improve the qualityof life of the Tribals. The original strategy wasoriented towards taking-up family orientedincome generating schemes in the sphere ofagriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry,elimination of exploitation, human resourcesdevelopment through education and trainingprogrammes and infrastructure developmentprogrammes. This tribal development strategyhas been reoriented to cover the employmentcum-incomegeneration activities thereto. Thestrategies more or less continue with refinementover the years with greater emphasis on tribaldevelopment.3.3 Special Projects for Tribal DevelopmentThe main instrument for achieving theconstitutional objectives of welfare anddevelopment of Scheduled Tribes is the TribalSub-Plan, which is carried out through wellplanned out institutional mechanism. Besides,there are 21 ITDAs, which cover 55.46 lakhtribals (about 68% of the total tribal population)of the state. The remaining tribals live outsidethe Scheduled areas. Beyond the Scheduled area,there are 46 MADA pockets, 14 Clusters. Theremaining tribal population of the State liveoutside the major project areas in dispersedmanner and are covered under the DTDP. Inaddition to this, 17 Micro Projects have beenfunctioning for the all round development of 13Particularly Vulnarable Tribal Groups. Of thetotal 17 Micro Projects, 13 Micro Projects arelocated within the Scheduled Area and theremaining 4 are located outside the ScheduledArea.3.4 Objective and StrategyThe objectives of the TSP strategy are basicallytwo fold, i.e. (i) socio- economic developmentof the Scheduled Tribes and their habitats, and(ii) protection of tribals from exploitation. Itis envisaged to enhance the level ofdevelopment of the Scheduled Tribes byadopting a multi-pronged strategy so as to12

Annual Report 2012-13minimize the gap that existed between themand the rest of the society.Some of the broad objectives of the TSP approachthat have been adopted in the State during theXII Plan period, including 2012-13 year are: To provide access to resource, to enhanceemployment opportunities and bring theincome level of the impoverished and assetless tribal people in the TSP area at par withthe general population. To ensure survival, protection anddevelopment of the Particularly VulnerableTribal Groups (PTGs) and bring them at parwith the rest of the ST population. To strive and to secure for the tribal peopletheir forest rights and for the developmentof forest dwellers and shifting cultivators. To bridge the critical gaps incommunication and such other economicinfrastructure as well as the socialinfrastructure in the tribal areas to supportthe developmental activities of the tribals.of the ST communities, have launchedspecial programmes, which include legalaid, rehabilitation of victims, housingfacilities, establishment of specialemployment exchanges, reservation inemployment, establishment of residentialschools and hostels etc. Some of thestrategies, already adopted/ proposed bythe State Government in this direction areas under:Education, being the most effective andcritical instrument of empowering tribalgroups, has been given priority.Efforts are being made to achieveuniversalisation in access and retention atthe level of elementary education for themembers of the Scheduled Tribes.Steps are being taken to provide hostelfacilities, scholarships and other facilitiesto achieve substantial increase inenrolment and retention. In this regard,1000 ST Girls Hostels have been opened.To provide the basic health services forSpecial attention is also being paid to theimprovement in health and nutritionalimplementation of employment andstandards of the Scheduled Tribes leadingincome generating programmes.to enhancement of status of the healthindicators of these sections, particularlyreduction of IMR/MMR and control ofmalaria.To bridge the literacy hiatus between theScheduled Tribes and the generalpopulation with thrust on literacy andmore specifically on primary education ofthe Scheduled Tribes Low literacy and lackof primary education have resulted ininducing vulnerability among the tribalPrevention of exploitation of tribal inrespect of alienation of land, moneylending, debt bondage, trade, collection andsale of minor forest produce etc. has alsoreceived due attention of Government.Regulation 2 of 1956 has been amended toprohibit transfer of lands to non-tribal andeven to other tribal by the Scheduled Tribeswith marginal land holdings except forsome specific purpose.population.A watchdog role has been given to GramThe State Government, in its pursuit tobring about socio-economic developmentPanchayats under the amended moneylending regulation to enable the13

Annual Report 2012-13community to protect the individual tribalfrom exploitation by moneylenders. In all individual benefit orientedprogrammes like SGSY, adequate trainingto beneficiaries is ensured through closemonitoring. In all income-generating activities,community/cluster approach is adopted tocover beneficiaries in group mode ratherthan single beneficiary to harness strongcommunity feeling inherent in tribalsociety. Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) are theprimary vehicles for implementingdevelopment programmes developmentprogrammes for the tribals to ensure themsocial justice. Women Self Help Groups are vigorouslypromoted for ensuring both social justiceand empowerment. Wherever necessary, missing infrastructuresupport for sustainable economic activitiesundertaken by Tribal beneficiaries has beenprovided through SGRY, I.T.D.A.programmes etc. Connectivity is being given high priority inrespect of remote Tribal areas bydevelopment of rural roads and byconstruction of minor bridges. Culvertsacross hill streams to open up inaccessiblepockets to ensure accessibility of Tribals toservice delivery and marketing of theirproduce. Special attention is being given for thedevelopment of Particularly VulnerableTribal Groups (PVTGs), so that theirmainstreaming is ensured. A new Centralscheme for conservation-cum-developmentof Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups hasbeen continuing since 2007-08.3.5 Monitoring of flow to TSP/ SCSPThe ST & SC Dev.

Annual Report 2012-13Odisha Tribal Empowerment & Livelihoods Programme (OTELP)1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUNDThe Odisha Tribal Empowerment andLivelihoods Programme (OTELP) is beingimplemented by the Scheduled Tribe & ScheduledCaste Development Department of Govt. ofOdisha with financial assistance from the DFID,IFAD and the WFP. The programme aims at toensure that livelihoods and food security of poor tribalhousehold are sustainably improved throughpromoting a more efficient equitable self managedand sustainable exploitation of the Natural Resourcesat their disposal and through off farm/non-farmenterprise development.To achieve the goal the Programme sets theobjectives to:a. build the capacity of marginal groups asindividual and grass root institution.that legislation governing control of andaccess to, development resources by poortribal households is implementedeffectively and recommending other policyimprovements; andg. build on the indigenous knowledge andvalues of tribal and blend these withtechnological innovations to ensure aspeedier pace of development.The programme started during 2003-04 withsupport from IFAD, DFID & WFP. This ExternalAided programme covered 358 MWS in the 30blocks of 7 south western districts of Odishanamely Koraput, Malkangiri, Kandhamal,Rayagada, Kalahandi, Gajapati &Nawarangpur. From the leanings and success ofthe programme, the Govt. of Odisha haveb. enhance the access of poor tribal people toland water and forest and increase theproductivity of these resources inenvironmentally sustainable and sociallyequitable ways;c. encourage and facilitate off-farm enterprisedevelopment focused on the needs of poortribal households;d. monitor the basic food entitlements of tribalhouseholds and ensure their access topublic food supplies;e. strengthen the institutional capacity ofgovernment agencies, Panchayati RajInstitutions, NGOs and civil society to workeffectively on a participatory mode forpoverty reduction with tribal communities;f. encourage the development of a pro-tribalenabling environment through ensuringupscaled the same to nearly 500 plus MWS in 8districts as OTELP Plus. This new programmewill be covering nearly 2000 villages and is to befunded out of state plan and other convergenceprogramme.2. PROGRAMME COVERAGE ANDTARGETTINGThe implementation programme has been madein a phased manner where 10 blocks in 4 districts83

Annual Report 2012-13have been taken up in Phase I covering 19481households in 390 villages. From January 2008Phase II operations have started in the new blocksin the Phase-I districts. The total coverage inPhase-II areas of Phase-I districts are 9 Blockscovering 15129 Households living in 328 villages.The Phase-II operation in Phase-II district alsostarted from January 2009 in 11 Blocks covering21570 Households in 316 villages. Currently theprogramme is in Phase III of implementation. Thedetails of the targeted beneficiaries of theprogramme and coverage for different phasesare presented in the table below.The targeted beneficiaries of the programmevillages constitute about 80% of the ScheduleTribe and 15% of Schedule Caste households.About 75% of the targeted households live underBelow Poverty Line (BPL). 12395 Households,which is about 24% of the total households areabsolute landless household who doesn’t haveany land for agriculture or homestead. Theprogramme covers 127979 male and 127682female beneficiaries. The programme conductswell being ranking (WBR) to access the numberand position of vulnerable and destitutehouseholds during the planning Phase of theprogramme. Looking into the WBR results, about12% of the total households are either vulnerableor destitute households. Most of thesehouseholds are women headed, widows, andpersons with old age or disability. As theprogramme adopts the complete inclusionParticulars Phase I Phase II (2008- 2013) Total(2004-2007)Districts covered Koraput, Koraput, Nawrangpur,Gajapati, Gajapati, Malkanagiri, 7Kalahandi, Kalahandi, RayagadaKandhamal KandhamalBlocks covered 10 9 11 30No. of FNGOs 12 11 11 34No of Micro-watershed 135 113 110 358No of Villages 390 328 316 1034Treatable area (in ha) 63219.43 55904.53 56244.32 175368.28Total households 19481 15129 21570 56180ST Households 16301 10438 15462 42201SC Households 2360 2276 3433 8069BPL Households 16277 10314 12883 39474Landless Households 4990 2935 4470 12395Vulnerable/ destitute 3101 1546 1474 6121Households84

It is government funded and facilitatedProgramme, and implemented through theNGOs and the Community- BasedOrganisation (CBOs)b. It adopts a Micro-Watershed approachwith the objective of holistic tribaldevelopmentc. The entire structure from State Level to theWatershed is well planned and trainedwith dedicated staff.d. The community is at the core ofimplementation, and awareness andcapacity building are given primaryimportance. All works are executedthrough the Village DevelopmentCommittee.e. It addresses the basic issues pertaining tothe tribal population, especially related tolivelihood and forest management.f. Young dedicated team of professionalswith relevant subject expertise and theflexibility to disengage in case of nonperformance.g. Comprehensive planning and detailedexecution by the team over a period of 7years.It is observed that the acceptance level of thismodel of governance is very high among thetribal population.3. INSTITUTION BUILDING ANDCOMMUNITY ORGANISATIONThe programme adopts a public private -community partnership approach in itsimplementation. In this PPCP mode, governmenthas taken the role of providing technicalassistance and support, where the NGOs playthe role of facilitator in capacitating thecommunity and their institutions for planning,implementation, monitoring and governance.Community being the primary stakeholders(beneficiary) of the programme plays the role ofimplementer. They directly plan, execute andmonitor the programme activities through theirinstitutions like Self Help Group (SHG), UserGroup (UG) and Common Interest Group (CIG).85

Annual Report 2012-13The following diagram depicts the key roles ofeach category of stakeholers invovled in theprocess of project implementation.Micro watershed development approachas the basis for development of livelihood hasbeen adopted as the framework ofimplementation. The programme adopts theinstitutional modalities prescribed by the MoRD,GoI, to ensure proper alignment of theprogramme with mainstream developmentprogramme. Thus at the micro watershed level(cluster of two to three villages) VillageDevelopment Associations (VDA) areconstituted. All the adult members of the villages(more particularly the voters) living in the villageslocated within the micro watershed are themembers of the VDA. This VDC is registeredunder the societies act 1860. The VDA has furtherconstituted a committee called VillageDevelopment Committees (VDC), which is theexecutive body of the VDA. This committee holds15 to 20 members comprising of therepresentatives from all the villages within themicro watershed.These representatives are either selected orelected from existing village based organizationssuch as Self Help Group (SHG), User Group (UG)and Traditional Institutions. The VDC has 50%women representation and representation fromthe marginalised groups like landless, disabled,widow etc.The VDC select one President and one Secretaryamong the member who works as office bearers.They look into the day to day affair regardingimplementation of the programme, accountsParameters Phase-I Phase-IIPhase-I Dist Phase-II DistNo. of VDCs formed and Registered 135 113 110No. of VLSCs formed 390 328 289No. of Village Level Social &FinancialAudit Sub Committee formed 390 328 289% of Women Members in the VDCs 50.13 52.39 50.28% of ST Members in the VDCs 85.57 88.81 80.46% of Landless Members in the VDCs 16.33 13.32 19.26Average attendance in the meetings Men 62.18 84.30 81Average attendance in the meetings Women 58.08 84.83 72(Source: Project MIS, 2012)86

Annual Report 2012-13keeping etc. For better implementation of theprogramme, the VDC selects five youth from theirvillages who work as village volunteers. Theywork as community resource person in five areasof livelihoods promotion i.e. Agriculture,Livestock, Land & Water, Book Keeping andSocial Mobilization. These village volunteers aretrained in their respective subject areas to providesupport services to the primary stake holders. Forfurther decentralisation of the process, VillageLevel Sub Committee (VLSC) has been formed ineach village within a micro watershed. The VLSCsare responsible for planning and implementationof programme activities in their respective villages.They work under the overall coordination of theVDC and works as a subcommittee to deliver theresponsibilities of VDC in their villages. For a bettergovernance and delivery system the responsibilitiesof the social audit of the activities implemented inthe programme villages are given to the Palli Sabhaof the respective villages. This is a recognisedvillage institution which undertakes social andfinancial audit of the programme implementation.Under OTELP this Palli Sabha has been given thetitle of Village Level Social and Financial AuditSub Committee. The programme promotes themonthly meeting of the Palli Sabha (VSFASC) ineach village which reviews the implementationprogress.COMPONENT WISE PROGRESS4. CAPACITY BUILDING FOREMPOWERMENT4.1 Community Empowerment &ManagementThis is an area where the focus is given in twosegments. First is to make the community awareregarding their entitlements, which willsubsequently create a demand for services. Andthe second is to improve their capability inimplementing the programme as well as otherdevelopmental programmes. Thus, to createawareness, series of community mobilizationactivities have been taken up on variousdevelopment issues including the differentschemes/ provisions of Govt. and other non govt.organizations. Villagers have been oriented onthe expected benefit of these mainstreamprogrammes. Training programmes on tribalrights were organized to sensitize them on theirresponsibilities to avail the entitled benefits.Similarly, series of human health camps,veterinary camps etc. have been organized.Strengthening of existing SHGs and formationof new SHGs with the left over households wasprioritized with campaign mode. Communitymembers were facilitated to draw up the villagedevelopment and livelihoods plan. Training/sensitization meetings on land right issues (OPLE,OGLS, FRA, Vasundhara etc.) have beenorganized for all the programme villages.Villagers are also mobilized on the advantagesof convergence with the PRIs to ensure continuedsupport from different schemes. Need basedexposure visits have been organized at differentplaces for comprehensive understanding.Similarly, to increase their capability to manage theimplementation of the programme variouscommunity institutions such as SHG, VDC, VLSC,VSS etc. were also trained on the areas of leadership,group dynamics, accounts, organisationmanagement, managing convergence. The detailsof the training programmes and other eventsconducted for during the period are presented inthe following table.87

They work as labour particularlyin primary sector like agriculture for foodproduction and employment. Besides, they workas unskilled labour in other construction works.The programme has adopted the strategy foradding new skill and upgrading the existing skillof primary stake holders so as to meet demandemployment demand in the local areas. Capacitybuildings inputs under this sub-componentinclude trainings, exposures, demonstration etc.to upgrade the skills of beneficiaries (primarystakeholders) for execution of different activitiesunder the production enhancement components(L&W, Agri, Horti, Pisci-culture, PFM, CIF etc.)and income generating activities (RFS) etc. Skillbased trainings, exposures, demonstrations etc.are being designed based on the activity planproposed by the communities under AnnualWork Plan and Budget. Capacity Buildinginputs under this component are mostlycovered during implementation phase (3-5 yrs)of programme cycle.Different resource institutes/ organizations andresource persons havebeen contracted / tied upto take up capacity building activities underdifferent thematic areas as identified jointly bythe staff from ITDA and FNGOs. The ResourceCenters like Soil Conservation Training Institute,Govt. of Orissa, Central Soil and WaterConservation Research and Training Institute,ICAR, Semiliguda, Regional ResearchTechnology Transfer Station, (RRTTS), OUAT,Semiliguda, Koraput, Central Tuber CropsResearch Institute,Bhubaneswar, Krushi VigyanKendras, OUAT, Community Level ResourceCenters(OWDM) and other private ownedtraining institutes were tied up with OTELPprogramme districts.

The various trainingprogramme conducted during 2010-11 arepresented in the above table.4.3 Skill Development Training for Ruraland Landless YouthAbout 40% of the targeted population under theprogramme is youth (age group between 15 to35 years). They are either employed in theagriculture during the season or works as casuallabour in the unorganized sector in localsuburban locations. Non availability of skill andrelevant information on employment makes thisproductive age group unemployed orunderemployed. With subsistence income fromagriculture from their degraded land andmarginal farming, produces from forest andoccasional income from wage engagement arethe means of living for most of these families. Asmuch as 4% of these families don’t own a pieceof land, either for homestead or for agriculture.Thus, under the sub component of skill upgradationof the primary stakeholders theprogramme has targeted the youth (15-35 years)to create skilled human resource for the future.Advance agricultural as well as vocationaltrainings are provided in order to attract theyouth be self employed. This was adopted toreduce the incidence of migration during leanseasons.Keeping in view of the emerging need to addressthe unemployment issue and help the youths totune up their skill, it was planned to train all theunemployed youth in OTELP areas undervocational training in phased manner. The89

Annual Report 2012-13strategy has been further concentrated for theyouths from the landless families to provide themskill development trainings on various trades likeMasonry, Gardener, Grafting, Beekeeping,Mushroom production, Mother Chick Unit &Backyard Poultry, Pisciculture, Housekeeping,Hotel Management, Tractor & Power tiller and4 wheeler driving, Mobile repair, ComputerTraining, Welding, Lathe, Tailoring , Plumbing,Welding, Carpentry, Weaving etc. Many of theseyouths are now gainfully self-employed locallyand in some nearby townships. Similarly,placement linked vocational training is providingemployment to hundreds of youth in OTELPareas. During the year 9000 tribal youths fromthe programme areas were identified to be trainedin various trades. All these skilful trainingprogrammes are conducted in OTELP districtsthrough the convergence with Odisha SC & STFinance Development Corporation, throughtheir empanelled ITI/ ITC and with theassociation of Khadi Village IndustriesCommission. These candidates are trained in aphased manner at various institutions5. LIVELIHOOD ENHANCEMENT5.1 Land & Water ManagementThe livelihood enhancement component of theprogramme addresses issues on povertyreduction, alternative livelihoods as the way tohelp and encourage people dependent on naturalresources. Understanding how and why ruralpeople change their income generating activitiesis the key to developing effective strategies tosupport the targeted beneficiaries. However, thestrategies adopted are understood by thebeneficiaries and they assist the process with theobjective of ensuring sustainability. The factorsto be taken care of are too complex, ranging fromthe relative low productivity of the local area, tolevels of risk, security and education, as well asthe nature of local production, markets anddemand. Systematic approaches to identify andpromote alternative incomes have commenced.It is important that these approaches recognizethat change in rural livelihoods is not so much aperiodic phenomenon but an ongoing process. Itis clear that both general developmentprogrammes and targeted support for the poorcan pave the way for the poor to help themselvesget out of poverty.The livelihood basket of the poor is partly filledin by wage income, subsistence agriculture andforest. Thus effort has been made during theyear to invest upon these resources which notonly provide immediate wage employment butalso improve these resources resulting inimproved income in the long run along withecological balance. With a food security of about4 to 6 months per year, it is an ongoing effort toprovide income in terms of cash and food grainresulting in improved availability of food andpurchasing power.5.1.1 Development of cultivable landAbout 60% of the cultivable lands in theprogramme area are high land and 20% aremedium land. Tribal people cultivate Paddy,Niger, Millets, Maize and Mustard etc. in theselands. The productivity of these lands is poor asmost of these lands are unbunded. The farmerscultivate in these lands with a high risk due toerratic rainfall, soil loss, nutrient deficiencies,lack of irrigation etc., resulting in poor crophusbandry by them. The farmers get about 25-30% of their income from these lands, which aremore than 80% of the total cultivated land inOTELP villages. Besides, crops grown in thesepatches are cash crops and also contentnutritional values, it is important to treat theselands to increase its productivity.90

Annual Report 2012-13The programme has facilitated the farmers toconstruct bunds and 30 x 40 models, 5 % models,terraces, levelling of these lands to retain fertiletop soil and moisture. The farmers are alsofacilitated to grow some crops over the bund tostabilise these and in return get some income.Now farmers are also facilitated to producecompost and use it as fertiliser in these lands toincrease productivity.The details of the interventions made fordevelopment of these lands are given in the tableSl.

There are number ofperennial streams available in these locations andalso the area receives annual rainfall of 1400 mmor more. However, the rainfall is highly erraticand the number of rainy days per year isdecreasing gradually. This is resulting inuncertainty of crop production and yield. Tomitigate the situation, rain water conservationand utilisation of water from perennial streamsduring stress period with prolonged dry spell inkharif has been adopted as a strategy by theprogramme. As part of this strategy various typesof water bodies are created along with irrigationstructures. Water bodies are to provide protectiveirrigation during kharif. The irrigations91

Annual Report 2012-13structures such as diversion wires, checkdam, canal etc. are constructed/ renovatedto ensure protective irrigation during kharifand also support post rain crops cultivatedby farmers. These interventions are resultedin increase in cropping intensity and volumeof production. There are evidences of cropdiversification and improved croppingpractices due to additional irrigation facility.The various interventions under Water Resources Development are presented in the table below :Sl.

Sincemost of the tribal people live in a forest ecosystem,focus was given for diversification ofagriculture and intensification of crop withadoption of technology, and natural resourcemanagement to enhance their food production.Dry land crop production technology, organicfarming, sustainable agriculture practices are thethrust areas for agriculture and horticultureproduction. Due to adoption of bettertechnology, yield improvement in most of thecrops was 20 to 30 per cent.92

Annual Report 2012-135.2.1 System of Rice Intensification:Many farmers in programme areas have felt thatSRI method of rice cultivation is superior toconventional method of rice cultivation. SRI isone of the methods of sustainable agriculture thatreduces agro-inputs, conserves water, improvessoil structure and crop yield.

Diversification of Cropping Pattern (DCP)About 70 % of the cultivable areas of OTELP arehigh lands. Substitution of paddy with nonpaddy crops like Ragi, Arhar, Black gram,Maize, Ground nut, Vegetables, Ginger, Turmeric,Tuber crops etc have been promoted in theseareas under non irrigated condition as thesecrops require less water and performs better indrought situation as compared to paddy. Basedon the demonstration programme of previousyears of DCP, so far 1090 ha upland paddy hasbeen diverted to non paddy crops by 3880farmers during rainy season, 2012.5.2.4 Inter Cropping systemUpland paddy is subjected to partial or completefailure in rain fed areas during drought years.Pigeon pea + Rice (2:5) intercropping system hasbeen promoted in the non irrigated highlands forpartial substitution of paddy wherever farmersinsists for rice. Besides other inter croppingsystems like Pigeon pea + ragi (2:4), Maize +cowpea (2:2), Yam + maize (1:2) and Maize +runner bean (2:2) have been promoted for giving93

The 2nd crop is harvested successfullyavailing residual moisture and few showers ofrain in the post rainy season and farmers getadditional income from these crops. Based on thedemonstration programme of previous years,2507 farmers have taken up 2nd crop in an areaof 1089 ha in the rain-fed eco system during postrainy season 2011-12.5.2.6. Sequential cropping under irrigated ecosystem.Irrigation facilities have been developed in mostof the villages through interventions under landand water management component. The popular2 crop patterns in the programme areas are Rice– mustard/black gram/vegetables/chick pea,Monsoon potato-winter vegetables, Khariftomato/ cauliflower./cabbage/radish-winter/vegetables, maize- /vegetables/mustard. Besidesthree crop patterns like Rice – vegetable –vegetable and Vegetable – vegetable – vegetableare also done in Koraput and other areas. Basedon the demonstration programme of previousyears, 2541 farmers have taken up 2 crop / 3crop pattern in an area of 832 ha (Koraput 220+ Balliguda 64 + Nawarangpur 20 +Paralakhemundi 128 + Th. Rampur 400) in theirrigated eco system during post rainy season2011-12.5.2.7. Informal seed production and linkagewith village seed banksFarmers have realized that productivity ofdifferent crops increase significantly due to useof quality seeds. Basing on the learningexperience in the previous years, a systematicprogramme has been drawn up for informal seedproduction during Kharif, 2011 and linking thesame to village seed bank. The idea ofoperationalisation of the concept of ‘village seedbank’, (VSB) is to make village self-sufficiency inproduction and distribution of quality seeds.Accordingly, 83 village level seed banks wereestablished during 2011-12. 1433 qtls of paddyseeds was procured by women SHGs of villagelevel seed banks from the seed growers & sold to4723 farmers after processing, bagging andstitching of the bags. New 30 kg bags were usedfor the purpose. Besides 6 qtls of Ragi, 1 qtl ofPigeon pea, 2.8 qtils of chick pea, 3.5 qtls of Blackgram, 1 qtl of Green gram, 6 qtils of groundnut94

Annual Report 2012-135.2.9 Promotion of nutritional gardens in theback yards& 80 kg of Niger were also produced throughInformal seed production programme at thevillage level seed banks during 2011-12. Informalseed production programme has also been takenup during rainy season 2012 for production of3000 qtls of paddy, 98 qtls of Ragi, 90 qtls ofKoda, 12 qtls of Suan, 8 qtls of Niger, 416 qtls ofpigeon pea, 30 qtls of black gram, 165 qtls ofground nut & 78 qtls of Dhanicha through 120village level seed banks.5.2.8 Growing of Orange flesh sweet potatoSweet potato is an important crop for food, feed andraw materials for industries. Vines can be used asfodder for cattle during off season. Malnutrition is aserious threat to health & productivity of people inmost of the tribal areas. Vitamin A deficiencyincreases the risk of night blindness. One possiblesolution for addressing vitamin A deficiency isthrough a food based approach using orange-fleshedsweet potato as an inexpensive source of betacarotene(the pre-cursor to vitamin A). Access toplanting materials for orange-fleshed sweet potatois a challenge for growers. There is a need for rapidmultiplication method and the establishment ofcommunity nurseries to meet the demand of thecommunity. 2,23,600 cuttings of improved varietiesof Orange flesh seeds were procured through thesupport of Regional Center, CT CRI, Bhubaneswar(ICAR) and multiplied in an area of 2.7 hectorcovering 91 farmers in Gajapati, Kandhamal,Koraput & Kalahandi districts during 2011-12. Theprogramme will be upscaled to 5 hectors duringSeptember, 2012.Improved vegetables are cultivated in 5406households (Koraput 400 + Malkangiri 900 +Balliguda 2300 + Nawarangpur 650 +Paralakhemundi 400 + Th. Rampur 756) duringrainy season, 2012. Besides, Mango, Banana,Lime, Drumstick & Papaya seedlings have beensupplied to 4076 households in ITDA Gunupurareas for backyard plantation under convergenceprogramme during rainy season, 2012.5.2.10. Special programme for Bonda hills inMalkangiriImproved variety of sweet potato in an area of 2ha covering 10 farmers, Monsoon potato in 12ha covering 25 farmers & Pineapple in an areaof 2 ha covering 10 farmers are being coveredunder convergence after discussion with thecommunity during Rainy season, 2012.5.2.11. Farmers Field School (FFS)720 farmers are being trained on improved cropmanagement practices in SRI paddy, Ragi,groundnut, potato in the field at regular intervalsin 36 farmers field schools in Gajapati & Koraputdistricts during rainy season, 2012. Each farmersfield school carters the needs of the farmer in aparticular crop.5.2.12. Raising of quality vegetable seedlingsin the poly nurseries and cultivation ofvegetables in the raised beds15 poly nurseries (Paralakhemundi 4+Balliguda4+ Koraput 4+ Th Rampur 3) each 96 squaremeters area have been constructed by the womenSHGs during 2011-12 under convergence.Programme staff facilitates SHGs forprocurement of quality seeds for raising seedlingsin the poly houses and supply to the farmers.Each time one poly house can cater the need ofseedlings for 4 acres. These poly nurseries havealready been linked initially for vegetablecultivation by 145 farmers (Th Rampur79+Koraput 32+Paralakhemundi 25+Balliguda9) who have installed drip kits in their fieldsthrough convergence.95

Annual Report 2012-13Focused Livelihood InterventionsA. WADI model of Orchard:Agriculture is one of the major source oflivelihood of the tribals of OTELP area. The hillagro climatic reason of the programme areas ofOTELP has undulating topography, highlydegraded land, hilly terrain with low waterholding capacity. The soil depth is also low. 70-80 % of the cultivable areas of the programmevillages are uplands and medium uplands.Average Annual rainfall of the areas are above1450 mm. Owing to the topography most of therain water lost through surface run- off. Growingof paddy crop specially autumn paddy (thoseharvested during September/October) in theuplands is not profitable. The climatic conditionand land is suitable for fruit crops, thus OTELPtaken up WADI model of orchard in itsprogramme areas. The fruit crops such asMango, Cashew, Litchi and Orange areproviding higher economic return even understress growing conditions as compared to annualcrops. The fruit orchards can also provide yearround employment to the beneficiary besideschecking soil erosion and run off of rain water.Farmers can get easily an average annual incomeof Rs.50,000/- per hectare(or Rs 2000/- per acre)from fruit crops once the orchard starts bearingfruits. OTELP facilitating the beneficiaries to takeup intercropping with agricultural crops in thespace of above orchard to provide income from1 st year itself to sustain livelihood of participatingfarm families. Some farmers have got an averagenet income of Rs 4000/- through inter croppingper acre with vegetable crops in WADIplantations during 2012-13 rainy season.This programme has been implemented in 994hectares (or 2485 acres) private degraded,15days old WADI Orchardunfertile uplands covering 1852 total farmers(including 1344 tribal farmers) with financialassistance from SCA to TSP, OTELP, NHM andMNRGEA. during 2011-12 and 2012-13 forgeneration of employment for small and marginalfarmers through enhancing Agricultureproduction. The farmers have grown Mango,Cashew, Litchi, Orange fruit crops in the aboveprogramme.

Annual Report 2012-13B. Sustainable livelihoods for Tribals ofOTELP areas through production of tubercrops, organic spices and pine appleunder RKVY programme:This project was implemented in OTELP areasof Koraput, Kandhamal, Gajapati, Kalahandi,Koraput, Nawarangpur and Rayagada districtswith the financial assistance of Rastriya KrishiVikas Yojana (RKVY) during the year 2011-12and 2012-13. 191.54 hectares of different crops(Ginger 45 + Turmeric 24 + Yam 95 + Elephantfoot yam 10+Cassava 2 +pine apple 15.54) weregrown by 11,477 farmers. Each farmer wassupplied with 50 kg yam (var Odisha Elite), 50kg elephant foot yam (var Gajendra) to cover 100square meter area, 125 sets of cassava to cover100 meter square area, 18 kg Ginger (varSuprava) to cover 100 meter square area, 35 kgTurmeric (var Lakadong) to cover 200 metersquare area and 1000 pine apple suckers (varQueen) to cover 200 meter square area. Theoutcome of the programme is quite encouraging.Production and productivity of tuber crops,spices and pineapples was enhanced byintroduction of new varieties, better use of agroinputs and dissemination of technology. Theprogramme also provided food and nutritionalsecurity to the household cover under theprogramme. The tribal farmers also get moreincome by taking this more remunerative crops.Yam growing farmers have got an average yieldof 326 kg Yam by planting 50 kg. 2685 farmershave up scaled the area of 48 hectares duringKharif, 2012 by planting 439 MT yam out of theirown produce of 2011-12 harvest.Elephant foot yam growing farmers have got anaverage yield of 295 kg Yam by planting 50 kg.310 farmers have up scaled the area of 7 hectaresduring Kharif, 2012 by planting 35 MT elephantfoot yam out of their own produce of 2011-12harvest.Ginger growing farmers have got an averageyield of 97 kg ginger by planting 18 kg . 2992farmers have up scaled the area of 30 hectaresduring Kharif, 2012 by planting 54 MT gingerout of their own produce of 2011-12 harvest.Turmeric growing farmers have got an averageyield of 400 kg Raw turmeric by planting 35 kg.1200farmers have up scaled the area of 30hectares during Kharif, 2012 by planting 53 MTturmeric out of their own produce of 2011-12harvest.Fruiting in pine apple crops (planted duringKharif, 2011) will come during May and June,2013.Yam cropping taken up during Kharif 2012 inan area of 70 hac covering 2800 farmers in 8blocks of Koraput, Kandhamal, Rayagada andNawarangpur districts will be harvested by endof February,2013Farmer with Yam (Orrisa Elite) Tubers in KandhamalHarvested Ginger (Var Suprava) in Koraput97

Annual Report 2012-13Similarly Ginger cropping taken up duringKharif 2012 in an area of 30 hac covering 3000farmers in 9 blocks of Koraput , Kandhamal,Rayagada , Gajapati and Kalahandi districtswill be harvested by end of February,2013.Farmers will be more benefited from Ginger asthe market rate during 2012-13 is much higherthan 2011-12.C. Livelihood improvement of tribalthrough commercial vegetablecultivation on raised beds after layingdrip irrigation and linking to vegetableco-operatives :The climate of the programme areas of OTELP isvery much favorable for vegetable cultivationincluding Off-season vegetables. vegetables arelow in fat but contains good amount of vitaminsand minerals. Besides vegetables are home formany anti oxidants which helps body to protectfrom stress and diseases and develop immunity.The tribal farmers in the programme areas mostlytake low quantities of vegetables in their dailydiet. Many tribal farmers consume onlycarbohydrate for which there is malnutrition.OTELP has emphasize on production ofvegetables. Production and profitability fromvegetable cultivation increase by use of lowpressure drip irrigation. System as compared totraditional flood irrigation .poly house is verysuitable to provide suitable climate forgermination of seeds and protection of seedlingsfrom adverse weather condition and qualityseedlings are raised. Considering above facts 1626farmers in the programme villages of OTELPcovering Kandhamal , Koraput, Rayagada,Nawarangpur Kalahandi and Gajapati districtsare being covered during 2012-13.Out of 1626farmers, 1500 from Koraput, Kandhamal,Rayagada and Nawarangpur districts have beenlinked to vegetable co-operatives.Raising of quality seedlings in poly house inKandhamal districtUnder the programme each farmer will growvegetables in an area of 1000 square meter arearound the year (3 crops in a year ) with assuredirrigation on installation of low pressure dripirrigation system. Poly houses are being erectedfor raising of quality seedlings.65 poly nurserieseach size of 160 square meter area are beingconstructed to give support to the commercialVegetable cultivation with drip irrigation inKandhamal districtvegetable cultivation. Each poly nursery cancater the need of seedlings for 25 farmers. Thevegetable co-operatives will supply agro-inputsto the farmers at the door step, facilitate capacitybuilding of the farmers on scientific cultivationof vegetables and marketing of producecollectively after sorting and grading. The overallobjective of the project is to increase farm98

Annual Report 2012-13productivity of the participating farmers andearn an incremental income of Rs 15,000/-to Rs18,000/- in an year from an area of 1000 squaremeter. The programme is implemented throughthe assistance of SCA to TSP, NHM, RKVY andOTELP.The details of the programme district wise during2012-13 are given belowD. OTELP Intervention under ImprovedPoultry & Goatery Farming under SCAto TSP during 2011-12 & 2012-13Backyard poultry Farming has been found to beone of the important income generating activityin the most backward remote blocks of OTELP.Almost 100% of tribal ST & SC households arerearing desi birds under scavenging conditionsin OTELP operational area. The traditionalbackyard poultry is less remunerative thanmodern backyard poultry which practices byrearing low input technology dual purpose birdsmostly Vanaraja & Kuroiler varieties underscavenging conditions. This is a low-costinvestment to enhance sustainable incomegeneration to a tribal family which requires verylittle hand feeding but provides very handsomereturns with minimum investment within ashort period. Thus rural poultry farmingconstitutes a source of subsidiary occupation;generating subsistence income to boost thenutritional standards and health of ruralmasses. It also provides employmentopportunities to rural tribal women and helpsto bring about the desired socio-economicchanges in the rural areas. Some of theinterventions taken up by OTELP under ruralpoultry farming are enumerated below.99

Annual Report 2012-13• Establishment of day old chick rearing units(mother units) by the women SHGs.• Backyard poultry farming by the individualtribal families• Improved broiler farming by the individualtribal families• Kuroiler / Vanaraja farming by theindividual tribal families and SHGsTill now 52 nos. of day old chick rearing units(mother units) have already been establishedwhich has catered 28 days old chicks to the 2903nos. of Tribal families for rearing under backyardpoultry farming. The SHGs managing the motherunit have generated an average net profit ofRs.10,000 per cycle of 28 days and the tribalfamilies rearing the birds under backyard poultryfarming has generated income ranging fromRs.2500/- to Rs.4000/- within period of 60 to 70days. Thus an SHG can generate an additionalincome of Rs.50,000/- per year by making 5 to 6rotations in a year and the tribal family cangenerate an additional income Rs.10,000/- toRs.12,000/- by rearing 30 nos. of chicks in 5 cyclesin a year. Efforts have also been made to buildthe capacity of the tribal farmers in improvedbroiler poultry farming by establishing 400 unitsof individual broiler units each of 400 chickscapacity with formation of poultry cooperativesin each of these tribal districts of ITDA, Koraput,Nawarangpur and Gunupur throughSwornajyoti Women Poultry CooperativeFederation Ltd. (SWPCFL). By promotion of ruralpoultry activities as an important livelihoodintervention in OTELP operational area not onlyincreased the per capita income of the tribalfamilies but also provided nutritional supplementto the poor tribal households.Apart from this scientific goat rearing has highacceptance in tribal areas. With the unmetdemand for goat meat in rural and urban centre,there is a potential for covering poorest of poorfamilies under improved goat rearing athousehold level so as to take these tribal familyout of poverty line. Two nos. of goatery projectswere sanctioned by the ST & SC DevelopmentDepartment under SCA to TSP during 2011-12and 2012-13 to enhance the livelihoods of 2100nos. of poorest of poor families under ITDA,Balliguda, Gunupur, Koraput, Nawarangpurand Malkangiri.100

Annual Report 2012-13CASE STUDIES OF BACKYARD POULTRY FARMING BY SHG ANDINDIVIDUAL MEMBERSAfter intervention of backyard poultry farming in OTELP blocks during 2011-12 under SCAto TSP,the Telugunimata SHG members of village Sikadaguda of Kosagumuda block under ITDA,Nabarangpur after due training managed to rear 1000 nos. day old chicks in mother chick unit(MCU) for 28 days and thereafter sold these chicks to the other tribal families for rearing the chicksunder scavenging condition. The SHG by now has completed two cycles successfully by rearingnewly developed low input technology birds namely Vanaraja day old chicks and earned a netprofit of Rs. 11,200.00 in the first cycle & Rs.9,400.00 in the second cycle. So much profit generatedwithin a very short span of time overwhelmed the members of Telugunimata SHG who have neverearned more than Rs.5,000/- in the past few years. The group which was mainly of daily wagelabourers & organized for social development has now taken up this commercial poultry businessfor their economic development. Group president Smt. Hira Majhi and Secretary Smt. Sobha Majhiwere quite excited and they said that, this entrepreneurship with low risk with minimum investmentearned a regular source of income for their group in a very short period.Smt. Metili Gageranga an widow belonging to ST & BPL family is a member of VDC Kedargouriin the remote village named Gumkudi in Chandrapur block in the district of Gajapati under thesupport of OTELP/ITDA, Gunupur facilitated by Universal Service Organisation(USO) an NGOworking for the poor & the destitute in the said block took up backyard poultry farming during2011-12. All the women in the group were working as daily wage labourers to meet their dailyneeds. Apart from this they make some meager income from selling of non timber forest productslike mohua flowers, Kandul & salseeds etc. She was provided with a night shelter by the ITDAand also the working capital towards the purchase of chicks and feed. She was given 30 nos. of28 days old Vanaraja chicks for rearing under scavenging condition by the Kedargouri SHGlocated in their village.After rearing the chicks upto 60 days she sold the birds in the local markert@ Rs.200/- to Rs.250/- per bird weighing on an average 2 to 2.5 Kg. per bird. She got Rs.5,600/- as 4 nos. of birds were eaten away by the wild cats. Even then she made a net profit of Rs.2,300/- in 60 days and aspire to get atleast Rs.12,000/- in five cycles and aspire to improve her livingconditions101

International DevelopmentEnterprise, India (IDEI) having field experienceof 20 years with farmers of Odisha on MIS is theproject executing agency. and OTELP providedco-operation for implementation by IDEI . Theproject focuses to improve water availability withMicro Irrigation System (MIS) and applicationof liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) for increase ofproductivity of agricultural crops in 265 villagescovering 10,000households of two pilot districtsduring three years of project period. Agriculture102

Annual Report 2012-13is one of the major sources of livelihood in theseareas as they get more than half of their incomefrom settled and shifting (podu) cultivation.Climatic condition of the hilly reason put highdemands on farm water management. Water isthe most limiting factor for agriculture productionand erratic distribution of rainfall is often statedas one of the major reasons for food insecurity.Most of the tribal farmers do not apply chemicalfertilisers and pesticides and rely on organicfarming. Under such situation, use of low costwater lifting equipments/ machineries alongwith liquid organic fertilisers are very effectivefor small land holding farmers .avaialble duration, depth of water body,waterspread area, water quality & fish seedsavailability etc. In view of this a feasibility studyto cover all these criteria under ITDA, Koraputhas been entrusted by OTELP to DHANVayalagam (Tank) Foundation, Madurai.Pending receipt of the feasibility study, the tankrenovation and piciculture activities have beengoing on under ITDA, Koraput, Nawarangpur,Gunupur & Malkangiri. The table below givesthe details of pisci-culture activities under OTELP.6.3.

Rural Financial ServicesPromotion of Self Help Groups (SHG) as amicro level village institution is has been apriority of the programme. This not onlyorganizes these tribal women, but also providesthem a plat form to share and experienceimproved practices and take up alternativeoptions for income generation. Besides, theprogramme emphases to scale up thelivelihoods interventions through these womenSHGs as the women are the major economicstrength in the tribal community.Rural Financial Service (RFS) primarily aim toensure timely availability of micro credit at thevillage level. Communities in these remotevillages have very low/ no access to bankingservices due to lack of banking infrastructure.Thus, the local money lenders become the firstchoice of the people to access credit. At timesthe credits are tied with the production of thefamily particularly from agriculture whichfurther marginalizes the family. Thus, not justincome generation, rather this sub componenttries to reduce vulnerability of the communitiesin order to access loan with a higher interest andinformal arrangement.103

Annual Report 2012-13To operationalise the process, the financing underthis subcomponent was segregated into twocategories. First is the provide seed capital supportto the newly organised groups to make themstable and to start the internal lending from thebeginning. Second is the revolving fund supportwhich is provided based on specific incomegenerating activities planned by the SHGs.Currently, the programme is supporting 4056SHGs, covering more than 90% of the totaltargeted households from the programme villages.The programme promotes the SHGs throughregular handholding support from facilitators andthe volunteers strengthened at the communitylevel. Regular training on Book keeping andmaintenance of accounts are conducted in routinemanner to ensure proper management of therecords and funds by the SHGs. SHGs have startedpracticing rotational leadership during theirmonthly meetings. Currently 1303 SHGs haveadopted rotational leadership. Gradation of theSHGs are made in six month intervals to ensureproper assessment of the SHG gradation systemis established to assess the strength and weaknessof the SHGs and to provide need based capacitybuilding inputs to bridge the gaps.Ensuring financial inclusion, the programme hasfacilitated bank linkage of the SHGs. Adequatetrainings and exposure visits have beenorganized to facilitate Income Generatingactivities among the SHG members. Therepayment status to bank and other fundingagencies has been improved. All SHGs have beenprovided with standard register for maintenanceof books and accounts at their level. Focus hasbeen made to strengthen the SHG promotionalissues along with strengthening the capacities ofSHG members/ SHG volunteer on recordkeeping and maintenance of accounts.Overall status of SHGs in programme area is manetioned in the following table :ParticularsCoverageNo of Groups conducting meeting regularly 4372No of group following rotational leadership 1634No of Groups undertaking savings regularly 4056Cumulative SavingsRs. 1007.024 lakhsAverage Savings per SHG Rs. 23033No. of SHGs taking Loan from RFS 2541% of Members of SHGs taking loan from these groups 58%Amount of Loan Taken by these groups from RFS FundRs. 327.39 lacPer capita loan by SHGsRs.12884.3Amount Repaid by these groupsRs.133.59lakh104

FederationAfter 3 years completion of the programme in aparticular cluster, federation of the SHGs arepromoted at the micro watershed level. Thesefederations of SHGs works as secondaryinstitutions at the VDC level to manage the RuralFinancial Funds (RFS) at the VDC level. Besides,these institutions are works as pressure group atthe village level for taking up various social causeslike education, health and sanitation etc. Thedetails of the federations promoted are as below:Currently 135 federations are operating in 12clusters of Phase I programme areas. Thesecluster level federations are promoted to operateefficiently; therefore, after the NRLM thesefederations can directly be acknowledged ascluster federation to implement NRLM activities.7.3. Linkage with financial institutionsMainstreaming these SHGs to a formal financinginstitution like bank is the primary objective ofthe programme. RFS triggers these groups insupporting micro credit to demonstrate accessand management of micro finance operations.Subsequently these groups are linked with banksfor higher credit linkage for taking of incomegenerating activities.

Annual Report 2012-137.4. Credit utilization patternCredit is highly essential to adopt livelihoodsactivities promoted by the programme in theprogramem villages. Besides, the poorcommunities have many necessities which arealso very important in promotion of livelihoodssuch as health, education etc. The programmepromotes both consumption and productionloans through its SHGs to the women membersof the family to increase financial inclusion atthe family level. Besides, production loans foragriculture, livestock and other primary sectorsare also promoted to ensure increase of income.The credit utilization for 2011-12 is depicted infollowing chart which indicates various types ofconsumption and production loans taken by themembers of the SHGs.7.5 Micro enterprise ActivitiesPromotion of micro enterprise particularlythrough value addition of the surplus agricultureproduces and NTFPs are another focus of theprogramme’s intervention. Small but feasibleenterprises which can be managed by thewomen SHGs are promoted by the programme.Small units for processing of food like Rice mills,Dal mills, oil expeller, turmeric grinding etc. areestablished by the programme to promote valueaddition of these products. The SHGs are alsoexposed to various markets to have an idea ofmarketing outside the village in a collectivemanner. Secondary institutions like cooperativesand federation of SHGs are also establishedhigher order enterprises at clusters taking thewomen SHGs of their locality.TDCC has supported this initiative by financingRs.58.00 lakhs during the year 2012-13 to 10SHGs.8. COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTUREAND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVESFUNDUnder these sub-components, apart from thegeneral watershed treatment and livelihoodbased approach, the programme providesadditional funds and facilitates additionalactivities to strengthen the interventions underlivelihoods support activities.8.1 Community Infrastructure fund:This sub-component of programme primarilyaims at financing community infrastructureneeds identified by the communities. Theobjective would be to fill the critical gaps for smalland remote communities which may not becovered in under other rural infrastructuredevelopment programmes. Programme adopteda strategy to access CIF through a demand drivenapproach with communities identifying criticalinfrastructure constraints. The priority area106

Annual Report 2012-13under this component are-(i) improving thelinkages to market for those communities whichare producing significant surplus, particularlyduring the monsoon season (ii) reducing theworkload of women by ensuring supply of safedrinking water close to the habitations, (iii)improving the access to food supply through PDS(iv) child care (v) health care, (vi) supplementingeducational infrastructure etc. Besides, activitieslike creating work sheds for the communities forincome generating activities like NTFP processingunit, storage centers, mills etc. may also be covered.These facilities will be used by the communitiesand may be managed by the VDCs through thecommon user groups.

PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT11.1 Monitoring & EvaluationThe programme has institutionalized methods forthe monitoring of the output, outcome andimpact of the programme activities. All tools havedesigned in a manner to ensure communityparticipation in the local governance system. Thedetails of the tools are explained below:Simplified Record Keeping at the grass root levelorganizations such as SHG, VLSC & VDC:111

Annual Report 2012-13Standardized set of documents/ registers hasbeen designed and provided to the villageinstitutions for recording of the events related tothe programme implementation, its processes,outputs and expenditures thereof.These documents primarily record theaccounting of funds received and spent,inventory, minutes of the meeting, activitiesundertaken, benefits realized etc.Standardized case records are being maintainedby the VLSCs to record the interim progress anddecisions made by the community during theimplementation of the activity. This simplifies theease of use of documentation processes for thecommunities and contributes to an effectivegovernance system.a. Voucher Based Monitoring SystemThis is a simple tool innovated under theprogramme and adopted since 2007 (post PhaseI MTR), to record and report the expendituresincurred in each month at each expenditure uniti.e. VLSC, VDC etc.Expenditures at village level are mostly in regardsto purchase of material for any activity orpayment of wages.Each payment made for purchase of materialgenerates a voucher indicating the materialpurchased, from whom, amount and for whichactivity (related to a standardized case recordmaintained for each activity).Each payment made to labourers generates a musterroll indicating the number of labourers worked,period, no of days, work done and amount.The tool enables the community to make entryof all the paid vouchers and muster rolls into asimple format indicating the voucher/ muster rollno., the case record no. to which the paymentbelong, name of the activity, component, amountpaid, date of payment, weather payment madein shape of check/ cash and whom to paid.All the entries are summed up in the report andthe final figure along with the related documents(case record) are presented before the VillageSocial & Financial Audit Committee which is thePalli Sabha of the Village for approval of theexpenditures made in each month from 22nd to25th of each month.On approval of the same the original andduplicate copy (generated using carbon paper)sent to the VDC keeping the triplicate for record.The VDC receives the reports from each villagewithin the micro watershed and consolidates theexpenditures against each programmecomponent and reports to the FNGO and ITDA.Accordingly the FNGO and ITDA onlyconsolidate the information and add theexpenditure incurred at their level and submitthe reports.All these expenditure reports are being acceptedas utilization certificate of the funds spent.Physical Progress Reporting (Output & Outcomereporting)The FNGOs and ITDAs prepare Half YearlyProgress Reports against the Annual Work Plan &Budget for the year presenting the outputsachieved during the period and cumulativeachievement.Besides, the ITDAs based on these reports,prepares Half yearly and Annual PerformanceReport which is an output linked outcome reportpresenting the change in various physical indicatorsfor both RIMS and logframe.b. Concurrent EvaluationsMid Term Review (MTR) for phase III conductedby IFAD completed during October 2010 and JRMfor 2011 was also conducted during August, 2011.112

Annual Report 2012-1311.2 Web Based M&E SoftwareThe web based M&E Software designed andimplemented in the programme have been furtherupgraded based on the use and information needat various level. Due to low infrastructureavailability at the remote project locations, it hasbecome difficult to update data in the software ina real time manner. Subsequently, the planning andM&E module along with the SHG module has beendelinked and made standalone desktop basedsoftware where the data entry can be done offlineat the FNGO level and integrated with the webbased software at the ITDA/ PSU level dependingupon the availability fo the internet.Besides, a field monitoring system tool has beendevelopment and piloted to track the field movementof the staff at ITDA and FNGO level. This is SMSenabled software which can send or receive messageto and from the field with a mobile handset.Land Allocation and Management System has alsodeveloped and implemented for the effectivemanagement of the land title allocation anddistribution system with the help of RDI. Thissystem has kept the information on the landlessfamilies and follows up the steps for allocation ofland titles.11.3 Implementation of RIMSBaseline RIMS Impact and anthropometric surveywas conducted during 2008 covering 30 clusters in20 blocks of 4 districts. The baseline survey of RIMSwas conducted internally using the PO (PM&E),PO (CB) of ITDAs and WDT (Social Science) IIFNGOs. Initially they were oriented on the surveymethodology and questionnaire along with howto undertake anthropometric survey using theRIMS equipments received from IFAD on 9thSeptember 2008.

They can be found, amongstother places, in Schools, universities & academies.Perhaps the first lab was at the University ofGrenoble in 1908. In the 1950s up till the 1990s,they were tape-based systems using reel to reelof (latterly) cassette. Current installations aregenerally multimedia PCs. The original languagelabs are now very outdated. They allowed ateacher to listen to and manage student audiovia a hard-wired analogue tape deck basedsystems with ‘sound booths” in fixed locations.He ‘traditional’ system generally comprise amaster console (teacher position) which iselectricity connected to a number of rows ofstudents booths (US: carrels), typically containinga student tape recorder and headset with a boomarm microphone. The teacher console is usuallyfitted with master play back source equipment(tape recorder), some means of monitoring ofeach booth in the class via the teacher headsetand an intercom facility offering 2 waycommunication between teacher and student. Allbut the most simple or first generationlaboratories allow the teacher to remotely controlthe tape transport controls of the studentsbooths(record, stop, rewind, etc.) from the masterdesk. This allows for easy distribution of themaster programme materials, which is oftencopied at high speed onto the student positionsfor later use by the students at their own pace.Better tape laboratories housed the tape machinebehind a protective plate(leaving only a controlpanel accessible to the students) or locked thecassette door. This kept the expensive andsensitive decks free from student misuse and dustetc. The objective of establishing language lab isto help the students to overcome the shortfalls ofteaching learning methods of English Languagewhich are reflected in ineffective communication,incorrect pronunciations and inabilities tocomprehend native accents and idioms, thisDeptt. has planned to provide English LanguageLab. in some of its Schools.SMART CLASSROOMEnabling the classrooms to become morestudent centric EMRSs are inducing studentsfrom Std.
