PLANNING PROCESS
A comprehensive planning process involving all the stake holders has been done for
both urban and rural areas as per the BRGF guidelines.
In case of rural areas the perspective plan prepared for NFFWP/NREGA through a
decentralized planning process involving Palli Sabha, Gram Sabha, Gram panchayat,
Panchayat Samiti and Zilla Parishad has been taken as the base document. The five year
perspective plan of NREGA taken into consideration the fund flow from various schemes/
sources and projects that can be taken up under NREGA and the critical gaps that exist at GP
and PS levels. The critical gaps that are identified through this decentralized planning process
is proposed to be bridged through BRGF in a phased manner.
In case of urban area need based plan proposals have been prepared by the respective
ULBs with special focus for intervention for vulnerable groups like slum dwellers. The plan so
prepared for urban and rural area have been converged at the district level and duly approved
by the District Planning Committee on 06.09.07.
PRIORATISING THE INTERVENTIONS TO BRIDGE CRITICAL GAPS

Women and Child Welfare
With high IMR and MMR interventions for women & Child welfare are one of the top
priorities of the district. The launch of NRHM with emphasis on institutional delivery has also
been helpful in bringing down these two vital indicators. However these initiative needs to be
supported and sustained. In this regard one of the critical gaps identified is the lack of
Anganwadi Center Building in about 2166 Centers of total 2646 AWCs. The Anganwadi
Center being the nodal point of service delivery of most Child & women welfare related
interventions, it is important to provide building infrastructure for these centers. After closure
of SGRY and launch of NREGA in the district, there are no schemes under which AWCs can
be constructed. Realizing this fact, under RSVY 25 AWCs and 30 AWCs cum ANM centers
were constructed in backward GPs. Now under BRGF it is proposed to provide building to all
the building-less AWCs in a phased manner. In the first phase during 2007-08, it is proposed to
construct at least 100 AWCs, one each in the 100 GPs selected having maximum
