CAPACITY BUILDING OF PRIs Effective implementation of the provisions of Part IX of the Constitution will require building of the capability of Panchayats encompassing training, provision of adequate functionaries, technical assistance and other support to Panchayats. The objective of the training is to enable Panchayat elected representatives to upgrade their knowledge and skills to better perform their responsibilities, such as implementing programmes equitably, enabling them to think in terms of concrete actions they can take or facilitate and equipping them with the skills required for day-to-day performance of executive duties. The proposal under the Capacity building of the PRIs component of the BRGF 2007-08, shall include the training of the newly elected PRI members / the functionaries dealing with and assisting PRIs and ULB members. Further, the following activities are being proposed: • Establishment of a District Resources center : The resource center will provide the technical support to the Zilla Parishad and help in effective discharging of functions. The center can engage the technical experts from economics, agriculture, GIS, statistics, micro planning, etc. It can also act as a district level training institute. • District development report and GIS database: The report can be prepared by a specialized agency with previous experience in preparation of such reports. The • report will help in assessing the socio-economic condition of the district in a professional manner and in devicing the suitable strategies to overcome the backwardness. The database will be linked to GIS. • Intensive training to the Computer operators engaged in Panchayat Samitis and Gram Panchayats: With increasing computerization of the activities at the PRI level, there is a felt need to give professional training to the computer operators engaged in various PRIs. The IT sector is dynamic and new technologies are emerging. The technical skills of the PRIs can be enhanced considerably if the Computer operators are trained intensively on the latest skills in computers. • Training to Self Employed Mechanics(SEMs) for Rural water supply: Panchayats have been given the responsibility of maintaining the water supply schemes. But there is lack of trained manpower at the Gram Panchayat level. The SEM will help the Panchayats in managing the water supply systems. 10

FUNDS ALLOCATION WITHIN THE DISTRICT Based on the above mentioned processes, analysis and justifications, funds have been allocated to different Sectors/ Areas as per the details given in Summary of the Plan proposal. The allocation of funds has been made to the Zilla Parishad, Panchayat Samiti and Gram Panchayat levels and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), taking into account the visioning exercise and prioritization of development goals in the district. The allocation is based on the focus and priority areas as listed out in the District Plan. The Critical gaps have been identified with respect to funding from other sources and the immediate priorities of the district. Accordingly, the projects to be taken up under the BRGF 2007- 08 have been formulated. PRINCIPLES OF FUND ALLOCATION In case of interventions that can be implemented in the entire district within the proposed outlay of funds, equal distribution of funds has been proposed. However, in case of intervention that has to be taken up in a phased manner, backward/vulnerable GPs in TDA / schedule area have been taken in the first Phase and the rest GPs will be covered under BRGF during the 11 th \ 12 th Plan Period based on Backwardness Index. Gram Panchayat: There are 475 GPs in the district and if funds are divided amongst all the GPs, then the funds will be so thinly spread that it be difficult to bridge critical gaps. Hence it was decided to take up GPs in a phased manner throughout the BRGF plan period. GPs have been ranked based on backwardness under BI prepared at the district level. This BI has been prepared based on % of SC, ST, BPL population, % of un-irrigated area, and remoteness index. In the first year 100 GPs based on the BI ranking will be taken up for implementation of BRGF. There are 22 blocks in the district and to ensure spatial distribution 3 GPs/block is selected based on BI thus totally to 66 GPs. The rest 34 GPs are the GPs in scheduled area having predominantly tribal population that require focused attention. About Rs. 10.00 lakhs/GP will be funded to 100 GPs amounting to a total of 10 crores that is about 60% of fund allocation for rural areas. Based on the points identified in pallisabha, gram sabha funds earmarked for GP will be utilized for taking up project to bridge the critical gaps like AWCs, ANM centres, rural play grounds, LI centres, cross drainage works, internal concrete roads etc. with in the GP, size of the habitation and SC, ST population will be used as criteria for selection hamlets / Villages 11
