INFRASTRUCTURE 3.11 RURAL CONNECTIVITY The Ganjam is one of the biggest and most populous district of Orissa. Around 37% of its area is hilly and forest terrain. Further, in the blocks like Patrapur, Surada, Dharakote and Jagannathprashad many habitations have low population density and are spread out over a large area. As a result, some habitations are in remote and inaccessible areas. The approach roads to these areas are not all-weather, and some of these places remain cut-off during the monsoon season. The delivery of the govt. services has become difficult in these areas. Consequently, these areas remain poor and backward. Rural connectivity to growth centers, interior/ tribal pockets has been the priority in earlier planning process. In the five-year perspective plan developed, there is a large demand for the roads. Under the RSVY, many strategic roads have been taken up. Now, there is huge fund flow under NREGA, which is helping in improving the rural connectivity. Also, the internal roads of almost all the hamlets are being converted into CC roads under SGRY and NREGA funds. Further, the PMGSY has allotted huge funds for the creation of excellent roads connecting rural areas. 3. 12 ELECTRICITY Electricity has been the propeller for the revolutionary changes witnessed in modern era. Unfortunately, there are 398 villages large numbers of hamlets in the district which have been denied this important resource due to lack of funds for a long time. Due to lack of electricity, the modern day amenities have not reached these parts. The people still live in ignorance about the rapid changes taking place around the world. The backwardness in these villages can be rooted out if electricity is included as one of the important strategy component. The education of the children can also improve significantly if electricity be provided during the night time. Presently, funding for the rural electrification is done under the Bharat Nirman – Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana and also under the Biju Gramina Jyoti Yojana. In a phased manner, under Bharat Nirman project, almost all the hamlets will be provided electricity over next few years. 54
3.13 MINOR IRRIGATION Ganjm district is agrarian district. Most of the population in the district depends on agriculture. But due to the erratic rainfall and unprecedented flood and drought most of the areas of the district depends on irrigation which mostly served through Minor Irrigation tanks and diversion weirs. Minor Irrigation holds the prime of place in agricultural productivity through its vast network of projects covering the entire district. There are total 1015 Minor Irrigation projects in the district with designated ayacut 96.07 thousand hectors in kharif and 7.64 thousand hectors in rabi with verified ayacut of 77.82 thousand hectors. Looking at the importance of Minor Irrigation for the agriculture and livelihood support it has always remained one of the most important components of planning. In RSVY also Minor Irrigation had been accorded top priority. There is need for exploring and reviving the age old Minor Irrigation systems in the backward areas of the district so that they come to parity with other area. Intervention under minor irrigation will be taken up under NREGA and other state plan schemes. 3.14 DRINKING WATER SUPPLY To improve the health standards of the people, it is of utmost importance to provide safe drinking water. On one hand it will reduce the unnecessary pressure on the health system, and at the same time improve the productive capacity of the people. Under the Rural water supply mission, efforts are being made to provide safe drinking water to all the habitations. Drinking water supply to rural community of Ganjam district is mostly made through deep hand pump tube wells. Ganjm is a big and populous district of Orissa. Providing safe drinking water to rural and urban population is a big challenge in the district. Cities like Berhampur face acute water scarcity in summer. However there is unprecedented support for the community participation based scheme Swajaldhara in the district. In the year 2006 district received Rs 168.11 lacks with beneficiary contribution Rs 18 lacks against the 20 projects which are in the final stages of completion. In 2006 RWS&S Division, Berhampur/Bhanjnagar have installed 230 tube wells and are going to install 838 in 2007 under ARWSP (CSP) in Partially Covered (PC) habitations through participatory approach, where community / GPs are willing for partial cost sharing of installation. Ganjam district has huge unutilized ground water resources which can solve the drinking water problem. Due to the paucity of funds, the projects are being taken up in a phased manner. In 55
