1. GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF
PERSPECTIVE PLAN
NATIONAL FOOD FOR WORK
PROGRAMME (NFFWP)
TRAINING OF TRAINERS
Dr. N. Sai Bhaskar Reddy
AMR-APARD, RAJENDRANAGAR, HYDERABAD
2. Objective - comprehensive
perspective plan of five years
That would enable develop all the Panchayats of
the 150 most backward districts during the 5
years period of 2005-2010 in such a way that
there is visible impact on the major problems of
each Panchayat and a sound base is created for
self sustaining economy to remove poverty
and bring these Districts at least at par with
other developed areas of the state and the
country.
3. It will facilitate optimizing all resources available
under all the developmental programmes operational
at the panchayat level
To provide best possible and meaningful option for
convergence/dovetailing of all such
programmes to derive maximum benefit in favour
of the rural poor especially with regard to
generation of employment opportunities both in
terms of wage and self employment through creation
of need based optimum infrastructure at the
panchayat level in the short term and develop self
sustaining robust panchayat economy In the
long run.
4. Preparing the Perspective
Plan
Survey each village and panchayat in the district to
collect data on
A. Existing economy infrastructure needs and to
B. Assess feasibility of projects to be included in
the plan
Rough cost estimate for project/works suggested
must be given based on acceptable parameters and they
may be indicated in the plan document.
5. The people involved in perspective
plan preparation
Consolidation and preparation of final document
– AMR-APARD
Training of trainers at District level (~40
officers) – AMR-APARD
TOTs – Senior Level Officers / special officers in
the District
Training of Mandal level resource persons –
ToTs
Perspective plan preparation of each village with
the participation of primary stakeholders and
facilitation by Mandal level resource persons.
6. PERSPECTIVE PLAN OF THE DISTRICT
The perspective plan will be a comprehensive document with
several chapters
CHAPTER-1
The information for the district as a whole on -
demography - SC/ST, women and children population with
work force divided into employed, semi-employed,
unemployed, occupational distribution,
month wise rainfall distribution,
depth of water table, depletion rate,
gender-wise illiteracy,
main crops, number of crops per year, per hectare
productivity, type of soil, agriculture productivity per
worker,
distribution of average land holding, average size of tilling,
distribution of commercial/Regional Rural Bank, availability
of bank branches per sq. km,
potential occupation, service and industry.
7. CHAPTER-II
Scheme-wise availability of resources of the district as
a whole in respect of all employment and development
oriented Programme such as
Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY),
Rashtriya Sam Vikas Yojana (RSVY),
Watershed development programmes (such as IWDP,
DPAP, DDP)
PMRY (its share for rural segment),
Rural Employment Generation Programme of KVIC,
Sampoorna Grameena Rozgar Yojana (SGRY)
MPLAD, MLALAD
NFFWP and
all other Centrally and state sponsored programmes
8. Block-wise breakup of
distribution/availability of resources
under the above programmes along with
the present status of number of
persons unemployed/ semi-
employed may be given.
9. Location/area specific kinds/types of infrastructure, which are
expected in the Panchayat.
(i) One panchayat Ghar
(ii) One primary/secondary school building sufficient for the number of
children studying.
(iii) One low cost storage go down for storing food grains
(iv) Tube/open wells (whichever is relevant in that area) for drinking /
irrigation purpose.
(v) Internal roads providing connectivity with main roads
(vi) Drainage / nallah to drain out extra water in the water logged/flood
prone areas
(vii) Dairy/Veterinary development infrastructure.
(viii) Erection of permanent /pucca embankment for flood protection
10. (IX) Small check dams, water conservation activities like digging of
ponds/percolation tanks and de-silting of ponds
(x) Strengthening of marketing infrastructure at local Panchayat haats
/ market such as construction of permanent sheds and low cost
community storage godowns for safe storage of goods etc.
(xi) Individual/community horticulture/social forestry development.
(xii) Any other facility considered essential on the local needs.
* - The above list of infrastructure is only illustrative and not
exhaustive. It is possible that some of the above infrastructure may
not be suitable for a particular state / district / panchayat but may
be relevant in other. As such, the above list may be modified and
prepared taking into account local needs and aspirations.
11. CHAPTER-III
Details on Panchayat –wise (i) list of infrastructure already
existing and (ii). List of infrastructure that are missing out
of the list given at Section-B, Chapter –11 (iii)
requirement of resources for creation of missing
infrastructure along with Programme-wise inflow/share of
the Panchayat out of all development programmes listed
at Section-A of chapter-11 and (iv) estimated employment
generation in terms of both self and wage employment
while creating missing infrastructure .
The above information is to be given year-wise.
12. While assessing resource inflow from all sources, 15% for
maintenance of assets already created /being created be
shown separately and as such only 85% of the total inflow may
be taken in to account for showing resource inflow for creation of
assets.
The above Panchayat–wise list of missing infrastructure
have to be prepared in a manner that each missing infrastructure
will give a clear cut idea under which Programme it is proposed
with estimated cost and the number of expected beneficiaries to
be covered under self and wage employment.
13. Incase of wage employment, number of man-day’s generation is to
be divided by 100 to arrive at number of persons to be employed.
All activities /works shown under the existing Programme have to be
implemented in accordance with their respective Programme
guidelines. If any activity which is permissible under more than one
Programme, it may be shown under that Programme which has
larger share for that Panchayat.
It should, however, be ensured that one activity is shown under one
Programme only with the stipulation that is completed during one
financial year it self. Spillover to the next year may be indicated in
exceptional cases where inflow of resources is limited during the
year.
Estimated cost may be shown increased 5 to 10% every year while
showing year-wise activities to be taken up.
