SUMMARY
Basic Data
• The State was formed on 1st November 2000 with a geographical area of 137 thousand sq.km. which accounts for 4% of the country's area. • As per 2001 Census, the State has population of 2.08 crores which accounts for 2.03 percent of country population. Density of population is 154 per sq. km as against national average of 324. • Scheduled Tribe population is 31.76% as against national average of 8.08% and scheduled caste population is 11.61% as against national average of 16.5%. About 38% population is living below poverty line majority being of that ST. • Work participation rate in the State is around 46.54% as against country's average of 37.46%. There is a large-scale distress migration of people to different parts of the country in search of wage employment. • The State has 59.76 lakh hectare of forest area which is 44% of the total geographical area of the State but, 30% forest area is degraded. Forests are fabulously rich in timber, bamboo, NTFP and medicinal plants resources. • State is rich in mineral resources. Iron Ore accounts 18.96%, Coal 16.10%, Bauxite 6.44%, Tin 99.93%, Dolomite 12.72% and Quartzite 21.32% of the national mineral resources. • More than 435 IEMs have been filled with Govt. of India for establishment of Large and Medium industries in the State and it ranks 3rd in this respect. Most of these IEM are for sponge iron, steel and power projects. • The State has abundant water resources, but it has yet to be fully utilized. Average annual rainfall is about 1400 mm. Ongoing major and medium irrigation projects have to be completed on priority. Attention has to be paid on construction of anicut/stop-dam/restoration of water bodies and recharging of ground water.
• The present decadal growth for Chhattisgarh is 18.6% against national average of 21.01%. With effective implementation of RCH programmes it will be possible to reduce it to 15% by 2011. • The literacy rate is 64.66%, which is very close to all India literacy rate of 64.81%. All attempts are being made to increase the literacy rate to 75% by 2007. • As regards health, Chhattisgarh remains one of the EAG states of northern India whose health status has to be improved by improving IMR, MMR, Nutrition, Sanitation and drinking water facilities. • The efforts are being made to universalize ICDS programmes to ensure immunization and nutrition to all childrens of the State. Pre-school education is being strengthened in all Anganwadi centres. • Safe drinking water has to be supplied to all the habitations of the State. Rajiv Gandhi Drinking Water Mission have identified 54818 habitations which are proposed to be covered under Tenth Five-Year Plan. Rural Schools including schools sanctioned under "Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan" are proposed to be provided drinking water supply arrangements. About 10000 schools are to be covered during 2006-07. • Access to sanitation remains extremely inadequate in the State. Under National Mission on Sanitation, it is proposed to implement Rural Sanitation Programmes. For providing health, National Rural Health Mission has been launched in 2005 as a new major initiative. • Bio-diesel is cleaner than petroleum diesel and will help the local environment and since it is renewable, there is no net emission of carbon and it can qualify for carbon trading. The state has taken a lead in bio diesel production which has to be continued with full vigour. • For generating productive and gainful employment to the masses circumstances warrant implementation of following schemes : o National Mission on Horticulture o National Mission on Bamboo o Development of Forest Villages o National Mission on Bio-diesel Production o Focused schemes for Poverty Alleviation

CHAPTER - I AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED SECTOR
Agriculture in Chhattisgarh is mainly mono-cropped with rice as main crop which occupies 77% of the total Kharif area. Merely 23% of the area is irrigated in the state and rest of the area is dependent on monsoon.
The average rainfall of the state is 1400 m.m. but water stress conditions may occur at any time in different crop growth stages. However drought conditions usually prevail either at initial stages (At the time of sowing/) or at the reproductive stage. Due to these constraints the productivity of rice is very low especially in up land rainfed areas.
There are about 30 lakh farmer families in Chhattisgarh and amongst them more than 70% families belong to small and marginal farmer categories. About 33% and 12% of the population belongs to scheduled tribes and scheduled caste categories respectively.
Keeping this fact in view, special efforts are required for development of Agriculture and allied sectors. It is felt that crop diversification and an increase in cropping intensity would be the most appropriate & contemporary measure to strengthen economic status of farmers and also for employment generation in rural areas.
Diversification in Agriculture refers to adoption of farming system involving shift in cropping pattern from traditionally grown less remunerative crops to more remunerative crops. Crop diversification is intended to diversify the production system providing a variety of choice in the production of variety of crops in a given area and time so as to expand agricultural activities and also to minimize risk. Hence, the state has been encouraging crop diversification and double cropped area.
The achievement made during last 3 years and target for next coming year are mentioned in Table No. 1, 2,3 & 4.

SEED PRODUCTION
Seed is a vital and crucial input for crop production. It affects the production and productivity significantly. Improved and quality seeds have the potential to increase crop production by 15-25% over traditional varieties. Sustained increase in the productivity of different crops can only be achieved through the enhancement in Seed Replacement Rate (SRR). At present SRR of various crops is much lower. Lack of awareness & unavailability of certified seed of desired varieties in sufficient quantities are the major constraints. To overcome this problem. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam has been setup and State Department of Agriculture has formulated a five year seed Rolling Plan to fulfill the demands of quality seeds of the farmers. Incentives for seed production and subsidy on distribution are also being made available to seed growers and farmers respectively. Farmers training on seed production technology has been conducted at State Agriculture University at block level. After the formation of Chhattisgarh State, production of foundation and certified seed has increased by two and half times which can be seen in the table below.

Tissue culture technique is adopted for production of true to the type quality planting material especially of horticulture crops. The need for establishing tissue culture laboratory has been felt by the state Govt. and efforts were made in this direction. Rs. 45.00 lakh grant in aid from GOI has been received for this purpose and it is expected that the lab would start functioning soon.
STRENGTHENING OF AGRICULTURE EXTENSION SYSTEM
Extension in agriculture through government and voluntary agencies have always been a potential means for transfer of modern technologies to the targeted beneficiaries. The Department of Agriculture with emphasis on training of farmers & field extension officers and also greater attention towards training of women farmers, is establishing a Training Academy at Raipur under Macro-Management Work Plan. The state govt. has allocated Rs. 45.00 lakh for establishment of the Training Academy. It is planned that there would be two blocks for training of farmers and officers with provision of separate dormitories for men and women, common kitchen, entertainment facilities etc. The staff for the Training Academy has been sanctioned in the new field level set up of Agriculture Department. Provision of buses for transportation of the farmer trainees and departmental staff have been kept.
To reform existing extension system a scheme for replicating the Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) has been introduced from 2005-06 under this centrally sponsored scheme five districts, (viz. Bilaspur, Sarguja, Raigarh, Kabirdham and Jagdalpur) have been selected in first phase. The DAC has initiated the action for establishment of Kisan Call Centres (KCC) and the DOT has allotted toll free number: 1551 on which subject matter specialist will be available to solve the problem raised by farmer over phone.
STATE SECTOR PLAN SCHEMES 1- DEVELOPMENT OF EXISTING GOVT. FARMS
There are presently 26 Govt. Agriculture Farms engaged in production, processing and packaging of Foundation seeds produced from Breeder seeds. Certified seeds are also produced in these farms depending upon the availability of land after fulfilling the target of Breeder to Foundation seed production programme. 7 From these farms, in the year 2004-05 total seeds of 20700 quintals were produced and in the year 2005-06, it is expected that about 26125 quintals seeds will be produced. However, the requirement of quality seeds is greater than that produced. If proper development of existing farms is taken up in the right earnest, then there is every possibility that Chhattisgarh state will be able to ensure availability of the entire requirement of foundation seeds at the Govt. farms and also a large percentage of the requirement of certified seed will be fulfilled. In the year 2004-05, an allocation of Rs. 32.00 lakh was provided. After approval from Finance Deptt., 7 tractors & trollies and some implements were purchased and budget was fully utilized. For the year 2005-06 budget provision of Rs. 50.00 lakh has been made. Till the end of July, about Rs. 10.00 lakh has been spent and 100% budget will be utilized. For the year 2006-07, a budget provision of Rs. 50.00 lakh has been made . The Budget provision has been divided as under: S.No. Farm Development No. of Units Budget Provision Component (Rs. lakh) 1 Machines & Implements 04 Tractors 15.00 2 Development of (a) Tub-wells 5.00 Irrigation infrastructure (b) Pipeline system 6.00 15.00 (c) Dug well 4.00 3 Development of Fencing 10.00 4 Leveling 5.00 5 Threshing Floor 5.00 Total 50.00
2- INCENTIVES FOR GIVING FARM YARD MANURE THROUGH NADEP
Proper nutrition for the crops is the key for successful agriculture. Crops use a variety of plant nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients like zinc, iron, molybdenum, etc. There are many chemical fertilizers which provide these elements to the plants. But it is a well known fact that farm yard manure (FYM) provides complete nutrition to the plants. In additon to this it helps in maintaining the soil health whereas continuous use of chemical fertilizers in high doses is injurious to soil health. Keeping this in view, the state has started this programme. The Nadep method provides very good quality manure for agricultural use.
In the year 2004-05, 1027 Nadep tanks were constructed and a subsidy of Rs. 9.106 lakh was given to the farmers. For the year 2005-06, the target is 1175 tanks with budget provision of Rs. 10.30 lakhs. Already, 50% tanks have been constructed and the
8 target will be achieved. Since new field setup of the department has been approved, there are about 2500 RAEDs (field level extension staff) and it is proposed that each RAEOs should take up the responsibility of construction of one tanks. But, a total of 1250 Nadep tanks are proposed to be constructed.

9- MOBILE SOIL TESTING LAB
Soil testing laboratories exist in Rajnandgaon, Raipur, Bilaspur, Bastar, and Jagadalpur. However, these laboratories are inadequate to meet the requirements of the farmers. Sample results are being supplied to the farmers after a lapse of 2 to 3 months. The existing laboratories are supposed to meet the requirements of farmers within a radius of 100 kms only. But farmers of far of places are deprived of getting the results in time. Under these circumstances, a mobile soil testing unit in each district would solve the problems. Moreover, soil sample if tested after a lapse of 15 days, the nutrients status of the samples get defective. The mobile units would be the only solution to solve such problems. The six units are proposed for tribal districts namely Dantewada, Bastar, Kanker, Ambikapur, Korea, Jashpur and parts of Raigarh.

For 2006-07, a total sum of Rs. 4.50 lakhs will be required to conduct the training programes.
4- National Project on Organic Farming Organic farming is the need of the day at a time when there has been indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers. However, in Chhattisgarh, per hectare fertilizer consumption is not high hence there is no problem of over use of chemical fertilizers. But in view of tremendous market opportunities for organic agricultural produce and in view of long term sustainability of agriculture production system, organic farming project has been sanctioned at Government of India level. It is proposed to select about 100 farmers from Bilaspur & Kabirdham districts each. About 2 to 3 ha. from each farmer will be taken to develop under organic farming. The estimated expenditure on the schemes shall be incurred worth Rs. 50.00 lakh during the year 2006-07.
MINOR IRRIGATION, DEVELOPMENT OF IRRIGATION FACILITIES
1- Minor Irrigation (Nalkoop) Scheme In Chhattisgarh State only 23% area is under irrigation which is very less compared to total area under cultivation. Without assured irrigation it is not possible to get high returns in crop cultivation. In order to make available assured irrigation to the farmers, Department of Agriculture has started the Minor Irrigation Scheme under which tube wells are dug with provision of subsidy to the farmers. This scheme assumes added importance in view of very less period of commissioning of tube wells especially when adequate ground water is available in river basin areas. 21 Under this scheme, subsidy is provided to all categories of farmers. In this scheme for the year 2004-05, against the physical target of 2335 tube wells with financial target of Rs. 420.00 lakh, 2418 tube wells have been dug and Rs. 377.00 lakh subsidy have been given to the farmers. This has resulted in 9672 hectare of additional irrigated area. For the year 2005-06, the physical target of tube well is 3300 with a budget allocation of Rs. 594.00 lakhs. In 2006-07, the physical target of 3900 tube well with a budget demand of Rs. 600.00 lakh are being proposed. This programme will result in increased cropping intensity and greater crop yield.
2- Kisan Samvridhi Scheme
Under this scheme the major target is to prevent the farmers from loss in those rain shadow blocks of the state, where there is insufficient rainfall or uneven rainfall in normal monsoon season. Due to uneven or less rainfall, the Kharif crops are adversely affected. To prevent recurring droughts and preventing farmers from going to other states, Department of Agriculture has started this programme from February, 2002 in 25 blocks coming under rain shadow areas. Under this scheme, subsidy is given to the farmers for construction of new tube wells. Since the beginning of this scheme in Feb. 2002 till March, 05, total of 8533 tube wells have been dug for which Rs. 2284.75 lakh subsidy has been given to the farmers. About 32036 hectare irrigated area have been added. For the year 2005-06, the financial target of Rs. 1050 lakh with physical target of 3365 tube wells have been kept through which 13460 hectare area will be irrigated. For the benefit of the farmers, for the year 2006-07, financial target of Rs. 1100 lakh with a physical target of 3200 tube wells are being proposed.
3- Shakambhari Scheme Under this scheme, Diesel/Elec. Pump sets upto 5 HP are to be distributed on 45% subsidy and also 20% subsidy is to be given on dug wells to the small & marginal farmers. In this scheme, additional subsidy of 30% on both the components is given through on-farm water management Scheme run through NABARD. This scheme has come into existence since year 2005-06. A total of 125.00 lakhs has been provided during the current year out of which 810 dug wells and 990 Diesel/Elec. are to be 22 constructed/distributed. (As the Subsidy under on Farm development Programme will not be available in the year 2006-07, hence the additional Subsidy of 30% is to be given on both the components that is construction of wells and pumps) For the year 2006-07 a total sum of Rs. 255.00 lakhs is proposed to be provided for construction of 1315 dug wells and distribution of 1575 Diesel/Elec. Pumps.
4- Subsidy on distribution of Hand operated Low-Lift-Pump
As per the declaration of HCM at kisan mela, Dongargaon, a new scheme of distribution of hand operated low-lift-pump on 75% subsidy to the small & marginal farmers has been submitted for approval. This year it has been decided to distribute 6000 pumps with subsidy amount 139.50 lakhs Budget provision is yet to be made in first supplementary budget estimate of year 2005-06. It is proposed to provide 145.00 lakhs for the year 2006-07 to distribute 6000 low lift pumps amongst farmers.
5- Deepening of wells through boring & blasting
A sum of Rs. 10.00 lakhs has been provided in the year 2005-06 for minor works. Out of this fund, tractor shed, workshop sheds of the new offices will be constructed through authorised Govt. agencies. Hence a Sum of 15.00 lakhs is needed for the year 2006-07 in this scheme. in order to establish & repair the machine shades at new offices of Asstt. Agri. Engineer Kanker, Ambikapur, Raigarh.
Micro minor irrigation (Tank) scheme
Under micro minor irrigation (Tank) scheme, minor irrigation tanks with capacity up to 40 hectare (100 acres) command area is constructed by Agriculture Department on recommendation of the Gram Panchayat concerned.
In this scheme excess rain water is stored which is used for irrigation in command area Protective irrigation in kharif season during dry spells and remaining water is used for the Rabi crops. Under the scheme, 96 tanks were constructed in 2004-05 with expenditure of Rs. 453 lakhs against provision of Rs. 455 lakhs. For the year 2005-06, physical target of 182 tanks have been kept with budget provision of Rs. 1433 lakhs which would result in additional irrigated area of 3600 hectares.
23 In view of the importance of this scheme, budget provision of Rs. 1800.00 lakh is being proposed with physical target of 225 tanks in 2006-07 by which about 5000 ha. area will be irrigated. Apart from additional irrigation potential created, the scheme also gives employment to the workers. Also there is long term advantage of recharging of ground water through construction of tanks.
Information technology in Agriculture Department of Agriculture has its own website launched by hon'ble chief minister on 4th November 2004 with various schemes being implemented by department and also statistical data regarding agriculture. All zonal & district offices of the Agriculture department have been connected to the Directorate through internet access which has enabled fast dissemination of relevant information.

It would enable accurate and meticulous planning for crop diversification, judicious exploitation of groundwater and preparing action plan for watershed areas and river valley projects.
Contract farming Reputed firms in the private and public sector can play a very vital role in the success of the crop diversification programme through contract farming and buy-back agreements for which detailed guidelines should be formulated immediately. Corporations can tie up with farmers' groups with buy-back provision in areas having competitive advantage as in maize cultivation, oilseeds, pulses, vegetables, fruits and spices like turmeric, ginger, garlic, coriander, medicinal and aromatic plants and bio-diesel products.
Agricultural Credit Agriculture credit polices are decided by the technical groups committee working at district level consisting of agriculture department officials, progressive farmers and bank officials. Agriculture credits have continued to be on progressive institutionalization for providing timely and adequate credit support to farmers particularly small/marginal farmers to enable them to adopt modern technologies for increasing agricultural production and productivity.

HORTICULTURE
Introduction -
Chhattisgarh state, with its abundant natural resources has tremendous potential for becoming one among the leading states in the Horticultural sector in India. With proactive government policies and numerous incentives and support to the farmers of horticultural crops, the horticultural sector is gradually developing at a steady pace in the state. The development in the horticultural sector is further accelerating the pace of socio-economic development in the state and ultimately contributing the country’s GDP. India, with its horticultural resources ranks second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world. Rigorous initiative by the State and Central Government to promote the horticultural sector is further strengthening India’s scope for becoming the leading producer of fruits and vegetables in the world. India, with its various agronomical zones across the latitudes, is highly favorable for the production of various horticultural crops ranging from temperate crops to tropical crops. The three agro-climatic zones of Chhattisgarh supports production of similar range of products comprising of fruits, vegetables, flowers, spices and medicinal and aromatic crops. Many of these crops, particularly vegetables are well suited to the resource conditions of small and marginal farmers, who comprise a majority among the farming
25 community. These small and marginal farmers have the flexibility to transform the family labour into new sources of income through highly profitable, intensive farming systems. Also, these horticultural crops substantially contribute to the food and health security of the people, especially the rural poor. The Horticulture Division under the Department of Agriculture, Government of Chhattisgarh has been extending financial and technical support to the horticultural farmers in form of various subsidies, distribution of plants, technical advise, demonstrations, trainings etc., to the farmers. Broadly, there are three major heads under which various programmes / schemes are being undertaken by the Horticulture Division viz., the Centrally sponsored Macro- management Scheme (2004-05 and 2005-06), State Budget (2004-05, 2005-06 and futuristic 2006-07) and the newly launched National Horticulture Mission (2005-06 and futuristic 2006-07).

Introduction
The National Horticulture Mission, being taken up in the entire country in a mission mode will also be undertaken in the state of Chhattisgarh. Keeping with the objectives of the National Horticulture Mission, the Chhattisgarh state. It is also concluded that in the first face only 7 districts i.e. Durg, Bastar, Kabirdham, Bilaspur, Sarguja, korba and Dantewada will be covered under National Horticulture Mission.
i. Doubling the horticulture production in the state by 2011-12. ii. To establish convergence and synergy among various on-going and planned programmes in the field of horticulture development in the state and to promote inter-departmental co-operation between other concerned sectors such as animal husbandry, fisheries, agriculture, goatry etc. in the state. iii. To promote the development and dissemination of technologies by blending traditional wisdom and frontier knowledge in the development of horticulture through traditional systems like Cow-based organic farming, bio-dynamic farming etc.
Chhattisgarh, with its varied and conducive agro-climatic conditions provides a fertile ground for the development of the horticultural crops in the state. The state has a predominant tribal population who have been involved with traditional cultivation of cereals, especially rice. 80% of the state’s population is involved in agricultural production with cropping intensity of 117%, with paddy (rice) as the main crop of the state, occupying 77% of the total cultivable area. The variety of the rice grown is the local variety that does not command a good price but is well accepted by the state’s consumers. The productivity of rice in rainfed areas is around 1.0 to 1.1 t/ha and is well below the national acreage. Other crops like kodo-kutki (wild rice), maize, soyabean, and sunflower are grown during the summer, and during the winter lathyrus, gram, wheat and linseed are grown. (GOI/ADB TA-4407-IND, Agribusiness Development Support Project, Interim Report 1, TA Team, Asian Development Bank, 2005), Thus, as per the above observation, the state has tremendous potential with ample land availability, suitable agro-climatic conditions and existence of a large farmer group. However, to realize the full potential from appropriate land utilization, it is important to
30 change the existing cropping system in the state which under utilizes the production potential of the state. The interventions and initiatives designed under the National Horticulture Mission are coherent with the issues existing in the state and a committed adoption and implementation of the various components in the state of Chhattisgarh will definitely result in remarkable development of the horticulture sector in the state resulting in benefits to our farmers. The various components of the Chhattisgarh Horticulture Mission, under the aegis of the National Horticulture Mission will be adopted in a mission mode. The design and micro-level management will be done in accordance with the site suitability and local demand and acceptance.
OBJECTIVES Immediate objectives of the Horticulture Mission in the state, are : • To encourage farmers in diversifying from traditional rice cultivation to horticultural crops. • Expansion of area under different economically and nutritionally important horticultural crops. • To increase quantitative and qualitative production and productivity of the horticultural crops. • To Create and develop micro-irrigation infrastructures and popularization of micro- irrigation systems in the state by establishing viable micro-irrigation networks. • To encourage farm mechanization

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
The livestock sector is an extremely vital sector of national economy in general and rural economy in particular. The livestock raising by farmers is a common practice. They use to keep the animals not only for the livestock production, but also for agricultural operations. Animal Husbandry sector is a labour intensive and provides gainful employment to rural population. About three fourth of Chhattisgarh's population and almost three fourth of the poor population in the state live in rural area and over 70% of rural household own livestock. A large majority of livestock owning household comprise of small and marginal farmers and landless labourer, which also account for a large share of poor household. Livestock sector contribute through milk, meat, eggs, wool, bio-manure, and draught power (particularly in difficult areas), but the productivity of the livestock is low which have to be improved. Major activities of this department can be broadly classified under following major heads:
Veterinary Services & Animal Health Care Scheme : The department has precise number of staff under its establishment, in order to carry out its duties with 208 Veterinary Hospitals and 708 Veterinary Dispensaries. As per Veterinary Council of India norms 7000 Animal population is to be covered by one Veterinary Institution but in the State one institution covers 13000 Animal population. In the process of narrowing the gape from 13000 to 7000, it is proposed to open 5 new veterinary out line dispensaries & up gradation of 5 old’s dispenseries to veterinary clinic. For this purpose we propose Rs. 35.00 lakhs and Rs. 75.00 lakh establishment expenditure to old institutions for the year 2006-07. Under Central Sponsored Scheme Rs. 18.00 lakh to D.I. Lab and Rs. 10.00 lakh to R.P. Scheme for establishment expenditure has been proposed.
Vaccination - To Protect Bovine and other live stocks against contagious and other disease vaccination is to be undertaken in the large scales. For this purpose we propose Rs. 250.00 lakhs for the year 2006-07 and Rs. 10.00 lakh for FMD Vaccination. During the Year 2004-05, In the state 77.63 lakhs vaccination was done on live stocks & Poultry .
40 In the Year 2005-06, total Rs.150.00 lakhs dose of vaccines will be used, Govt. of India under the ASCAD programme sufficient fund has been provided to protect all the animals of the state from contagious & infectious diseases for which Rs. 405.85 lakh has been proposed. Under Central Sponsored Scheme (75:25) to maintain Vaccine under Cold Chain from state Head Quarter to Village Level, an amount of Rs. 1525.00 lakhs has been proposed for the Year 2006-07.
Cattle & Buffalo development : To change the Mongrel breeds prevailing at Chhattisgarh State the department has adopted the programme through I.C.D.P. with 22 Artificial Insemination Centers & 780 Centers through which 70000 calves have been produced. It required good quality semen, A.I. equipment & liquid Nitrogen to preserve the semen, for this work we propose Rs. 185.00 lakhs & for the same work department is giving grant-in-aid to J.K. Trust (NGO) of Rs 255.00 lakhs for 200 Artificial Insemination Centers established in Raipur & Mahasamund districts to produce 8400 calves in the year 2006-07 For training of Artificial Insemination worker at C.B.F. Pakaria Rs. 5.00 lakh has been proposed. Under Central Scheme Rs. 500.00 lakh has been proposed for Live Stock Development Agency Raipur.
Distribution of Indigenous cow : During the year 2006-07 it is proposed to spend Rs. 2000.00 lakhs to distribute one cow per Tribal Family.
Poultry Development : To, develop back yard poultry programme it is proposed to maintain the Seven exiting poultry farms to produce more chicks. Rs. 30.00 lakhs is proposed Under Central Sponsored Scheme (75:25) Rs. 85.00 lakh has been proposed for Poultry Farm Sakalo.
Beneficiary oriented programme : With the solemn aim benefiting the poor, eradication of poverty, improvement of nutritional status and prevention of migration from the state, the Government of

DAIRY DEVELOPMENT
Dairy development activities are an important tool for generating employment opportunities both direct and indirect, specially in rural area improving source of income and improving nutritional standard of the citizen and finally improving quality of life. State Govt. has recently started supply of milch cattle to poor scheduled tribe family. Per capita consumption of milk of the state is 42 gms in comparison to 200 gms of the country. Most of the cattle population in the state is non-descript having low milk production. These are required to be replaced and sufficient infrastructure also required to be developed in each district of the state. Accordingly following parameters are targeted for the Annual Plan 2006-07.
1- Distribution of Milch Cattle
Milch cattle available in the villages of the state are mostly non-descriptive deshi breeds which produces less milk, consume more feeds and fodder, causing uneconomic dairy farming. Govt. has started distribution of milch cattle to tribal people free of cost. The same will be continued during 2006-07 in the districts of Raigarh, Ambikapur, Korea, Kabirdham and Jashpur where Integrated Dairy Development Projects (IDDP's) are already working. 200 good quality cows in each district will be inducted. Thus a total 1000 animals in five districts will be inducted. For this purpose an amount of Rs.100.00 lakh is proposed for the year 2006-07. Proposal for IDDP’s for Jagdalpur, Kanker, Dantewada, Janjgir-Champa, Korba and Rajnandgaon has been sent where this scheme will be launched in subsequent years.
2- Organization of Dairy Co-operative Societies
Dairy development through co-operative is proved to be successful tool in the country. Milk producing farmers in all the villages are required to be organized, forming Dairy Co-operative Societies (DCS). They will be encouraged by providing initial investments like milk testing equipments, furniture, first aid box, set of registers, chemicals for milk testing etc for milk collection and managerial subsidy in order to strengthen it’s management practices by appointing secretary /testers and to full fill day to day expenses in initial stage of formation of DCS. During the year 2006-07 a total 100 DCS’s in 5 districts are expected to be promoted with the assistance @ Rs.10000.00 per
44 DCS as capital investment and Rs.5000.00 per DCS as managerial subsidy. Thus a total amount of Rs.15.00 lakh is proposed to be benefit at least 2000 farmer members in the year.
3- Feeds and Fodder development
High yield animals require green fodder and balanced cattle feed for milk production. Farmers are required to be inspired in producing green fodder in waste land by supplying fodder mini-kit and fodder tree-kit, free of cost. 2000 fodder mini-kit and fodder tree-kit @ Rs.250.00 each will be distributed to milk producing farmers in 5 districts. This will cost about Rs.5.00 lakh during 2006-07. The milk production of the animal depends upon the good practices of feeding of balanced cattle feed. To develop habit of stall feeding, balanced cattle feed is proposed to be supplied free of cost to the producers. This will require about Rs. 10.00 lakh during 2006-07 in the districts of Raigarh, Ambikapur, Korea, Kabirdham,Jahspur
4- Infrastructure for Milk Processing & Storing –
Village farmers produced milk but get less price from middle man or hotel owners. Infrastructure for milk collection, processing, storing and marketing in district HQ are required to be established where milk can be procured from farmers at remunerative price and distributed to urban people at reasonable price. Establishment of Dairy Plant, Creamery, Milk Product Unit, Milk Transport Vehicle etc. will require about Rs.50.00 lakh in each district. Thus an amount of Rs.250.00 lakh is proposed for 5 districts during 2006-07.
5- Assistance to IDDP’s
IDDP schemes are proposed for mostly in all districts under central sponsored scheme. 5 IDDP’s at Raigarh, Ambikapur, Korea, Kabirdham and Jashpur are on going scheme and 6 IDDP’s at Jagdalpur, Kanker, Dantewada, Janjgir-Champa, Korba and Rajnandgaon are proposed scheme, sent to GOI. To manage the IDDP’s and to fulfill the rest of the requirement of IDDP’s, not covered by GOI, like vehicles etc.and renovation of old plant and machinery at Raigarh and Ambikapur, a provision of a sum of Rs.220.00 lakh is proposed for 11 districts for 2006-07.
45
6- Assistance to State Dairy Laboratory
Under MMPO Act 1992, State Dairy Laboratory has been established at Raipur and Bilaspur for regulatory work which will be developed as Dairy Consultancy to promote and upgrade system of indigenous milk products manufacturing and marketing with assistance from GOI. It will also develop environment for Dairy Industries in private sector. Mobility of the laboratory requires vehicle, equipped with testing equipments etc. This will cost about Rs.10.00 lakh for each Lab. Thus total cost of Rs.20.00 lakh is proposed for 2006-07.
FISHERIES
From ancient times fishing has been a major source of food for humanity and a provider of employment and economic benefits to those engaged in this activity. Fish culture is one of the most popular activity in Chhattisgarh rural areas where almost all suitable water bodies are utilized, engaging weaker section of the society, providing them employment and strengthening rural economy. Fish also fulfils the nutritious demand of the urban/rural public. 85418 fishermen are estimated to be engaged in fish industry in the state.
Resources - The state is endowed with 1.547 lakhs hectare water area comprising 0.708 lakhs hectare village ponds and 0.839 lakhs hectare irrigation reservoirs . 88.68% water are covered under fish culture. Rivers though mostly seasonal cover 3573 k.m. length in the state.
Fishing policy - The rights of small village ponds up to 10 ha. water area are with gram panchayats for leasing to poor fish farmers/fishermen societies for a period of 5 years. Tanks and reservoirs above 10 to 100 ha. are leased out by Janpad Panchayats and reservoirs above 100 ha. up to 200 ha. average water area are lease out by District Panchayats to fishermen co-operative societies. Reservoirs beyond 200 ha. average water area are auctioned by the Fisheries Department to highest bidder for a period of 5 years. Income generated through open auction will be exclusively utilized for fishery Development. The aim behind auction is to utilize services of highest bidder to increase fish production capacity of reservoirs.
46 Fish seed production resources – Fish seed is an important inputs in fish culture development of scientific fish culture mainly depends on availability of quality fish seed. The state has 45 chienese hatcheries, 56 fish seed farms and 76 rearing ponds having a total water areas 172 hectare available for fish seed rearing both in private and govt. sectors. For the benefit of fishermen the govt. is implementing various welfare schemes under state plan and centrally sponsored schemes. Under state plan for the year 2004-05 Rs. 271.44 lakhs has been proposed. The same has been increased to Rs. 405.28 lakhs for the year 2005-06. Rs. 882.68 lakhs has been proposed as plan expenditure for the next year 2006-07. The following programmes are being implemented in State Plan and Centrally Sponsored Schemes.

PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Procurement of Rice:
Procurement of food grains under the price support scheme is a social obligation of the State and Central Governments. The scheme was conceived to ensure minimum support price to the farmer for his produce, to protect the ‘weaker farmer’ from the ‘strong trader;’ and to prevent exploitation by middleman. The scheme is an absolute necessity for a state like Chhattisgarh, which is underdeveloped in agriculture, and comprise of large tribal population and marginal farmers. With a view to achieve the intended objectives the State Government operates many centres for purchasing paddy, wheat and coarse grains .The Chhattisgarh State is one of the few states, where PSS is being successfully implemented.
52 One of the schemes, namely, decentralized procurement which has turned to be unviable because of insufficient assistance to State Government by GOI. Under decentralised procurement of rice scheme, the state agencies have been procuring paddy at MSP on behalf of FCI and after converting it into rice the required quantity for Public Distribution System and other foodgrain based schemes is accepted by the State Government and the remaining quantity is handed-over to the FCI. The details of paddy and rice procured by the State Government and FCI in last two Kharif Marketing Season is as follows: As on 06.08.2005 Fig in M.T.
Paddy Rice procured by FCI Rice Total Kharif procured procured by quantity of Year by State Custom State Govt. Levy Rice rice Govt. Milled Rice 2003-04 2705059 913772 717669 667479 2298920 2004-05 2904119 783972 886727 710809 2381508
An issue which has a bearing on the procurement of foodgrains under PSS is the non-coverage of total cost of procurement. The incidentals are required to be based on actual expenses of the previous year submitted by the State Government. The estimated losses incurred in previous years for procurement of paddy are as follows: Fig. in Rs. crore S.No. Kharif Year Estimated Losses 1 2000-01 85.77 2 2001-02 357.54 3 2002-03 275.29 4 2003-04 539.02
GOI has revised the incidental charges of paddy procurement and CMR rates for current Kharif year but it is still not up to the actual expenditure incurred by the State Government at various stages on procurement of paddy and its conversion into rice, Some of the notable points in respect of incidentals are: (a) Driage allowance for paddy provisionally allowed 1% of MSP against the normal estimated driage of 2.00 to 3.00% of MSP.
53 (b) Commission to sub-agents/societies is still 1% of MSP while State Government is paying 2% of MSP to societies. (c) No expenses allowed for transportation within 8 Kms. (d) Storage charges for paddy provisionally allowed @ Rs. 1.84 per quintal whereas the storage charge is much higher than Rs. 1.84. (e) Interest and Storage charges are provisionally allowed only for 2 months as against the normal required period of 4 months. (f) Milling charges for raw rice including transportation charges upto 8 kms provisionally fixed by GOI is Rs. 15.00 per quintal whereas State Government is paying Rs. 35.00 per quintal for conversion of paddy into raw rice. Consequent to the above revision in incidental charges, the agencies suffer an over all loss of about Rs. 50 to 60 per quintal of CMR. Thus paddy procurement has become a high loss making operation and there is a case for again revising the incidentals/charges allowed for KMS 2005-06 on the basis of State's proposals.
Other grain procurement:- Chhattisgarh State Civil Supplies Corporation is procuring wheat and maize under price support scheme. The quantity of wheat and maize procured in previous years is as follows: (Fig. in M.T.) S.no. Year Wheat Maize 1 2003-04 62.30 2214.00 2 2004-05 19.40 10936.82
Enhancing private trade in food grains : Previously there were some restrictions on the trade of foodgrains and agricultural produce mainly through Chhattisgarh Scheduled Commodities Dealers (Licensing and restriction on hoarding) Order 1991.The 1991 order makes it mandatory for the big traders to obtain license for dealing in essential commodities scheduled in this order such as wheat, wheat products, rice, poha and pulses etc. But in January 2004 the State Government rescinded the said Order and abolished all the restrictions on the trade of foodgrains.
54 As far as the removal of restriction on inter-state movement of food grains and agricultural produce is concerned, our state has no such restrictions. Traders and producers are free to import and export these items to and from the state without any hindrance. Under the state's voluntary rice levy policy, rice millers can give certain percentage of their production to the Food Corporation of India at the prescribed rates. No Levy Paid Certificate, Release order, or Transit permit is required for movement of rice under the free trade.
PDS Plan Schemes Antyodaya Anna Yojana On the basis of parameters fixed by the GOI , poorest of the poor family in rural and urban areas are identified with the help of Gram Panchayats /Gram Sabhas and urban local bodies respectively. After necessary verification the competent authority issues ration card and the family thus becomes eligible for getting food grain and other essential commodities at prescribed rates from the FPS with which its card is attached.
No Subject Description 1 Directives GOI issued guidelines on 6.1.2001 2 Implementation Chhattisgarh Govt. started this scheme from March, 2001. 3 Targetted group Poorest of the poor in rural and urban areas. 4 No. of GOI fixed the numerical limit of 7.18 lakh families. As on beneficiaries 01.08.2005 5.69 lakh ration cards have been issued to Antyodaya beneficiaries. Under the third expansion of AAY the identification of 1.49 lakh additional families is in progress. 5 Identification of Gram sabhas in rural areas and local bodies in urban areas beneficiaries carried out identification from amongst the poor families within the state. 6 Central issue price Rs. 2/kg for wheat & Rs. 3/kg for rice. State Govt. is providing only rice as per the food habit and demand of beneficiaries. 7 Consumer price Rs. 3/kg for rice 8 Scale of issue 35 kg food grain per family per month 9 Mechanism As per TPDS system.
55 Antyodaya Anna yojana is a centrally Sponsored scheme but GOI is not providing any amount for transportation / storage of rice and commission for lead agencies or retailers under the scheme. Hence State Government is providing ancillary charges @ Rs. 58.50 per quintal for urban area and Rs. 71.00 per quintal for rural area for transportation, other expenses of agencies and commission to fair price shopkeeper. As per the present number of beneficiaries and the quantity of rice lifted per month, this amount leads to about Rs.13.00 crore per annum.
To provide food security in the tribal and remote areas and to check the naxal extension in non affected areas, State Government has submitted a proposal to GOI to cover all the BPL ration cardholders of scheduled blocks and naxal affected area of the State.
Annapoorna Yojana Those destitutes who are above 65 years of age and not covered in state social security pension scheme or National Old age pension scheme are covered under Annapoorna Yojana. Annapoorna beneficiaries are entitled to get 10 Kilogram rice free of cost per month. Chhattisgarh Govt. started this scheme from October 2001. As against the numerical ceiling of 0.26 lakh beneficiaries 0.28 lakh ration cards have been issued in the State. State Government is providing ancillary charges @ Rs. 58.50 per quintal for urban area and Rs. 71.00 per quintal for rural area for transportation, other expenses of agencies and commission to fair price shopkeeper. As per the present number of beneficiaries and the quantity of rice lifted per month, this amount leads to about Rs. 2.00 crore per annum.
Chhattisgarh Amtrit (salt) Yojana To prevent the exploitation of Scheduled tribes under barter system and to check the goitre disease in the State this scheme was started from 26.01.2004 in 85 Scheduled blocks and since 15.08.2004 it was extended to all 146 blocks of the State. Under this scheme about 23.74 lakh ration cardholders covered under BPL and all the Antyodaya and Annapoorna card holders are getting 2.00 kilogram per month iodised salt on for just 50 paise. The total expenditure incurred in this scheme is borne by the State Government. For the financial year 2005-06 State Government is providing subsidy of Rs. 12.69 crore for implementation of this scheme. 56
Annapoorna Dal-Bhat Yojana:- Annapoorna dal- bhat yojana started in the State from January 2004 as a State sponsored scheme. This scheme has been introduced as a welfare scheme with an objective to provide cooked food to the poor and needy people at the lowest possible price. In this scheme bhat weighing 300 gms. and 90 gms. of dal at a price of Rs.5.00 is being provided. At present 171 Annapoorna dal bhat centres run by the social institutions, self- help groups and other persons are catering to nearly 30,000 - 35,000 persons daily. State government is providing rice to these centres as per their requirement at a price of Rs. 6.15 per kg.

The members of the society have been consumers of goods and services from ancient times and protection of their rights was always considered a priority by welfare states. Our country has taken a unique step by enacting Consumer Protection Act, 1986 with an object to protect the interests of the consumers. Under the said Act, 3-tier adjudicatory set-up has been provided. District Forum. State Consumer Commission and National Consumer Commission have been set-up for redressal of the grievance of the consumer against service providers or sellers of goods. The said Act also provided for setting up of 3 tier Consumer Protection Councils at District, State and National level. Thus the rights of the consumers are sought to be protected under the Act against marketing of goods, which are hazardous to life and property as also against unfair trade practice of all conceivable forms. At present we have 8 full time and 8 part time benches of District Consumer Forum which are as given below: Districts having part time Consumer Districts having full time S. No. Forum & linked with respective full time Consumer Forum Consumer Forum 1 Raipur Mahasamund, Dhamtari 2 Durg - 3 Rajnandgaon Kawardha 4 Bilaspur Janjgir, Korba 5 Sarguja - 6 Raigarh Jashpur 7 Koriya - 8 Bastar Kanker, Dantewada

66 COOPERATION
Development of Cooperatives has been envisaged as significant strategy to build strength in the people with limited resources. The farmers found the cooperative movement an attractive tool and effective mechanism for pooling their meager resources and using them for their own social and economic upliftment. The Co-operative movement aims at saving the rural poor small and marginal farmers, agriculture labour and artisans from exploitation by money lenders. The first attempt to institutionalize cooperative began with the enactment of the cooperative credit societies Act 1904. the scope of which was subsequently enlarged by the more comprehensive cooperative societies Act. of 1912. Under the Government of India Act, 1919, the subject of Cooperation was transferred to the then provinces, which were authorized to enact their own cooperative laws. Under the Government of India Act. 1935, cooperative remained a provincial subjects. Presently, the item " Cooperative Societies" is a State subject under entry 32 of the state list of the constitution of India. Accordingly Chhattigarh Cooperative Societies Act, 1965, was enacted by the State legislature of Chhattisgarh and subsequently " Chhattisgarh co-operative Societies Rules 1968" were also framed by the state Govt. Since then the operation of Cooperative Societies belonging to this state are being administered and controlled by these Act. and Rules. Although the co-operative sector was initially oriented towards credit movement only but gradually cooperatives have diversified their activities to include credit, banking, input distribution, agro processing, storage and warehousing etc. Supply of agricultural inputs such as chemical fertilizers, high yielding seeds and pesticides was also started by co-operatives and it proved a great success. Thus cooperatives played a vital and commendable role in bringing green revolution in the state. Consumer movement in India through cooperatives was introduced in the days of great scarcity of essential commodities in sixties. Henceforth housing, dairy, handloom, fisheries cold storage, processing, labour etc. schemes were also incorporated in cooperative field.
The ongoing and proposed plan of the cooperative department is placed below : 1- TRAINING OF DEPARTMENTAL OFFICERS
With the developing modern management techniques and administrative skills, the staff and personnel of the department must be well trained & better versed with departmental schemes and policies. For achieving this objective, periodical training &
67 orientation of the officers as well as other staff is required. Vaikunth Mehta National Institute of Cooperative Management Pune, National productivity Council New Delhi, National Rural Development Institute Hyderabad, Administrative, Academy Bhopal and the Indian Institute of Management are some of the institutes which conduct various training programmes. During financial year 2004-05 Rs. 0.90 Lakhs has been released. 40 officers/ Staff has been given training under this scheme. for the financial year 2005-06 Rs 2.00 Lakhs Budget provisions is available under this scheme. The training institutes charge prescribed fees for conducting various training programmes. For this purpose a provision of Rs. 2.00 Lakh is proposed in the plan for the year 2006-2007. Under this scheme a total outlay of Rs. 11.00lakh has been proposed for the 10th five year plan. The Physical target for the plan year 2006-07 has been given in column 19.
2- COOPERATIVE EDUCATION & TRAINING In view of the expansion and diversification of the cooperative Movement in the State, it has become essential to pay more attention towards education, training and publicity. It is basically peoples movement based on democratic management by senlightened member. The trained personal are very much needed for its smooth and successful functioning. C.G. State Coop. Union along with 7 Distt. Level coop. Unions affiliated to it, run one Jr. Coop. Training centers for the purpose. The main objective of this. Centre is to train official and non-official personnel, to enable them to increase responsibility of the movement with necessary vitality and vigorous.
The following schemes are being implemented for the purpose: 1. Member Education of non-officials. 2. Publicity & propaganda. 3. Special course for junior category personnel. 4. Strengthening of State & Distt. Coop. Union. The internal resources of the Union are confined to the subscription & contribution by the various Coop. Institutions annually, which is totally inadequate to meet the expenses incurred on staff and other activities of the Union. Keeping above factors in view, it is necessary to provide financial assistance to the centre, which form the back bone of human resources development in the cooperative setup.
68 RESEARCH & LIBRARY CELL : Research cell and reference Library is a basic need for education and training activities as well as to improve the working of the institution to implement the development scheme more efficiently. Keeping in view the cell has been established in Apex coop. Union. Under coop. Education and Training Sector, Schemewise provision kept during 2006-2007 is as follows : (Rs. In lakhs) . Scheme During 05-06 During 06-07 10th Plan 1. Member education of non-officials 4.20 5.00 25.00 2. Subsidy to State Distt. Coop. Unions 3.50 3.50 20.00 3. Publicity and Propaganda 0.25 0.35 20.00 4. Special Course for Jr. Category 0.20 0.20 20.00 Personnel 5. Assistance for research and liblary cell 0.25 4.00 20.00 Total. 8.40 9.40 110.00
3- MANAGERIAL SUBSIDY TO CADRE FUND OF LAMPS/PACS:
There are 1533 Primary Level Agriculture Credit Cooperatives in the State including 662 LAMPS. The pay and allowances of the Managers of the LAMPS & Samiti Sevanks fo the Primary Agriculture Credit Societies are met from the Cadre fund maintained at the level of the Central Cooperative Bank. The Cadre fund is constituted by the contribution of Pry. Credit Socs. (including LAMPS), District Coop. Central Bank and the Apex Bank @1.50%, 0.50% and 0.15% respectively of their outstanding loan as on 31st December of the year. The State Government earlier used to provide funds @ Rs. 12,000/- per LAMPS & Rs. 5,000/- per PACS towards managerial subsidy. This was insufficient, and the deficit to cadre fund has been constantly increasing. The total deficit in the cadre funds is about Rs. 140.52 lakh every Years. To meet this deficit of funds during 10th Five Year plan an amount of Rs. 100.00 lakh for the plan period and for annual plan 2006-2007 an amount of Rs. 6.00 lakh is proposed. While the actual departmental need is for Rs. 500.00 lakh but due to meager plan ceiling a token provision is thus proposed in the 10th plan period. This will be a grant from the state budget. An amount of Rs. 6.00 Lakhs Budget provision is available for financial year 05-06 and same amount has been proposed for plan year 06-07.
69
4- SUBSIDY TO SC/ST MEMBERS FOR PURCHASE OF SHARE OF PACS/LAMPS: The main objective of cooperative is to enroll maximum members, so that they avail various facilities and Financing provided by the institution. It has been experienced that since the SC & ST are generally financially weak they are not in a position to purchase shares of institutions to become members. Under this scheme, financial assistance by way of subsidy @ Rs. 1000.00 to tribal and Rs. 1000.00 to Scheduled Caste holding land up to one hectare is provided. Under plan for the year 2006-2007 an amount of Rs. 25.00 lakh is proposed out of which Rs. 05.00 lakh will be spent on SC and Rs. 20.00 lakh on ST.
5- CONSUMPTION/SOCIAL CONSUMPTION LOAN SC/ST MEMBER :
In order to prevent small cultivators from exploitation by private money lenders & middlemen, it has been considered necessity to provide them institutional credit for consumption purpose. Under this on going scheme SC & ST farmers are being provided interest free consumption loan @ Rs. 1000/- per family members. An amount of Rs. 56.00 lakhs earmarked for 2006-2007. It will be grant to enrich the revolving fund mentioned at the level of district cooperative central Banks. For financial year 2005-06 Rs. 56.00 lakhs budget provision is available.
6- INVESTMENT IN THE SHARE CAPITAL OF THE CENTRAL COOP.BANK
The Central Coop. Banks meet a large demand of short term credit requirement of the members of the affiliated primary agrl. Credit socs. Including LAMPS, LSS & FSS. Demand of short term loan is increasing rapidly and to meet the growing demand of the ST loan, the banks must have a strong share capital base. The proposed assistance is provided from the long terms operation fund maintained at the level of NABARD. The banks are eligible for this assistance if their overdues are not more than 50% of the demand, but where the Banks function in tribal area and also are weak, the overdues should not exceed 60%. To achieve the target of lending programme as well as to obtain credit limit it is essential to provide assistance to the Banks by way of share capital from LTO fund of NABARD.
70
7- INVESTMENT IN THE SHARE CAPITAL OF PACS /LAMPS :
The demand for short term loan is increasing year after year on account of the adoption of improved agricultural practices by members and also because the price of inputs are increasing . The demand of increased loan can not be met unless the agrl. Credit socy. has a strong capital base. For strengthening the share capital base of the PACS & LAMPS, it is necessary to invest sufficient funds in the share capital of such socs. The assistance under the scheme is provided from the long term operations fund maintained at the level NABARD. The credit socs. are eligible for share capital contribution from the LTO fund if their overdues are not exceeding 50% of the demand. However, socs. whose overdues are between 50 & 60 percent of the demand would also be eligible provided they have improved their recovery by at least 5% in the previous year. NABARD sanctions this amount to be provided as a loan to the state Govt. and the same is released as share capital to the societies. An outlay of Rs. 1200.00 lakh is proposed during 10th five year plan and an amount of Rs. 175.00 lakh is proposed in the annual plan for the purpose as follows : (Rs. In lakhs) For 10th plan For Annual Plan (06-07) PACS (Normal) 600.00 65.00 PACS (Harijan area) 144.00 7.00 LAMPS (Tribal area) 456.00 103.00 Total: Rs. 1200.00 175.00
8- INTEGRATED COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS : Integrated cooperative Development Projects are being implemented in the State with financial assistance form NCDC. One selected district is fully covered by this project. For development of a district, the developmental activities covered are like generation of additional godowning capacity, improving agricultural production, strengthening of public distribution system, increasing irrigation facilities, dairy development, poultry farming, fisheries development, sericulture development, and all developmental activities relating to handloom and rurual industries. It is a self -sufficient project for the development of cooperatives operating in the district as a whole, through which the rural and urban economy of the district can be improved, opportunities of self-employment created & agrl. Production increased.
71 Initially ICDP was sanctioned for Durg, Raipur, Bastar district the results of which were found very satisfactory.

CHAPTER - II RURAL DEVELOPMENT
India's anti-poverty strategy for urban and rural areas has three broad strands; promotion of economic growth; human development and targeted programmes to address the multi-dimensional nature of poverty. The monitorable targets for the Tenth Five Year Plan included quantitative targets for reduction in the incidence of poverty, according to which poverty was projected to be reduced by 5 percentage points by the end of the Tenth Plan period, by which time new estimates for poverty would be available. While there is a consensus that there has been a decline in the incidence of poverty during 1990s, it is difficult to assess the extent of this decline as there has been considerable debate regarding comparability of data due to changes in the methodology adopted by the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) between 1993-94 and 1999-2000.
Alleviation of rural poverty has been one of the primary objectives of planned development. Ever since the inception of the planning process, the policies and programmes have been designed with this aim. Rural development implies both the economic and social betterment of people which can only be achieved by increased people's participation, decentralization of planning process, greater access to credit and related inputs, improvements in roads, health, education and drinking water supply, sanitation, housing etc. Various centrally and state sponsored schemes are being implemented for alleviation of rural poverty and development of required infrastructure facilities in the villages. The objective of various schemes of rural development is to improve the standard of living of BPL families. During the Tenth Five Year Plan, it has been envisaged to bring down the present level of poverty from 38 per cent to 25 per cent. The targeted anti-poverty programmes have been rationalized, restructured and revamped in the Tenth Plan with a view to enhancing their efficacy and impact. In November 2004, National Food for Work Programme (NFFWP) was launched in 10 backward districts to enhance the wage employment opportunities for the poor. The Parliament has passed the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act which will be implemented soon.
76 SAMPOORNA GRAMIN ROZGAR YOJANA (SGRY)
The objective of the scheme is to provide additional & supplementary wage employment in rural areas & thereby provide food security and creation of durable community, social & economic assets and infrastructural development in rural areas. The programme is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme on cost sharing basis between the Central & State in the ratio of 75:25 of the cash component. Foodgrain is provided to the state free of cost. The transportation & handling charges is borne by state government. The SGRY is open to all rural poor who are is need of wage employment and desire to do manual and unskilled work in and around his village. The programme is implemented through the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). The funds and foodgrains under the SGRY is available for all three tiers of Panchayati Raj Institution (PRIs) i.e. Zila Panchayats, Janpad Panchayats and Gram Panchayats. The resources (Cash & Food-grain) under this programme is to be distributed among the Gram Panchayat, Janpad Panchayat and Zila Panchayat in the ratio of 50:30:20. 22.5% of the annual allocation (inclusive of foodgrain) allocated both at the level of Zila Panchayat & Janpad Panchayat is earmarked for individual beneficiaries schemes of SC/ST families living below the poverty line (BPL). Minimum 50% of the allocation (inclusive of foodgrain) is earmarked for the creation of need based village infrastructure in SC/ST habitations//wards. Year-wise Financial & Physical progress under SGRY is given below: Year Total Total Expenditur Foodgrain Employ Available Foodgrain e (Rs. in utilized (in ment Fund Authorised lakh) M.T.) generated (Rs. in (in M.T.)

SWARNJAYANTI GRAM SWAROZGAR YOJANA (SGSY)
Objective of SGSY:
The Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) launched on 01.04.1999, aims to bring the assisted families (Swarozgaries) above the poverty Line by ensuring appreciable sustained level of income over a period of time. This objective is to be achieved by inter alia organizing the rural poor into Self Help Group (SHGs) through the process of social mobilization, training and capacity building and provision of income generating assets. The SHG approach helps the poor to build their self-confidence through community action. This process would ultimately lead to the strengthening and socio-economic empowerment of the rural poor as well as improving their collective bargaining power.
Salient features of the SGSY: • SGSY is a holistic programme covering all aspects of self-employment i.e. organization of the rural poor into SHGs, training and capacity- building, planning of activity clusters, credit, technology, infrastructure and marketing.
• It aims at establishing a large number of micro enterprises in the rural areas and building upon the potential of the rural poor.
• The assisted families (swarozgaries) may be individuals or SHGs. However, the emphasis will be on the group approach.
• In establishing micro enterprises, the emphasis is on the cluster approach. For this, about 10 activities can be taken in a block . However, emphasis would be on 4-5 key activities identified for micro enterprise development in clusters.
• SGSY is a credit-cum-subsidy programme, in which credit is the critical component, subsidy being only a minor and enabling element.
• It envisages greater involvement of banks in planning and preparation of projects, identification of activity cluster, infrastructure planning, capacity 78 building of SHGs, selection of Swarozgaris and post credit monitoring including loan recovery. It also seeks active participation of Panchayati Raj Institutions for the successful implementation of the Programme.
• It promotes multiple credit rather than one-time credit injection.
• Subsidy given to the project will not be more than 30 % of the amount given to the SGSY. This subsidy amount will be maximum Rs 7500 /- but for SC/ST this will be 50 %, that is upto Rs. 10000/-. The amount given to the self-employed group will be 50 % of the total amount of the project and that will be not more than 1.25 Lakh. There will be no limit for the irrigation project.
• Swarozgaries will be given basic and technical training. • 50 % of the groups, in formed groups will be of women. • The disabled will account for a minimum of 3 %, SC/ST 50 %, women 40% of the total Swrozgaris assisted during the year.
Expenditure Pattern under the SGSY : • The financing of the programme is shared between the Centre and the States in the ratio of 75:25.
• The funds are released directly to Zila Panchayat Each Zila Panchayat is required to incur expenditure on Training (10 %) infrastructure, (20 %) revolving fund assistance to SHGs (10 %) and subsidy for economic activities.

CHAPTER - III SPECIAL AREAS PROGRAMME
SCHEDULED TRIBE
Tribal sub-plan, MADA and Cluster Pockets
During the preparation of fifth plan it was felt that the amount invested by the different development departments of the state Govt.'s is not sufficient for the development of tribal areas. Also there was a need to make fundamental changes in the development programs/schemes of the department taking into account the specific nature of tribal areas.
So a strategy of tribal sub plan was adopted for the overall development of scheduled tribes residing in the tribal areas. Provisions were made for the financial resources, budget, arrangements, monitoring & evaluation for the proper & smooth functioning of the plan/scheme. Integrated development was the key aspect of the program and hence the integrated tribal development projects were setup to implement the schemes/programs for the development of the area & its tribal population ensuring the involvement of various development departments.
Tribal & Scheduled caste development department was entrusted with the responsibility of the nodal department.
Under the concept of tribal sub-plan initially such Tahsils were covered where 50% of the total population was scheduled tribe population. Afterwards development blocks having more than 50% tribal population was covered under the (geographical boundaries of the ITDP) project.
The projects having population more than one lakh ware termed as major project of ITDPs, the projects having less than one lakh population were called medium projects. At present 19 ITDPs are functioning in the state. The ITDP Nagri, District Dhamtari is the only major project, which is setup after the functioning of the state of Chhattisgarh in the year 2004.
In the 6th plan period, the tribal areas and group of villages having population more than 10 thousand with more than 50% scheduled population of the total population were marked as modified area development approach (MADA) pockets. At present 9 MADA pockets are functioning in the state. Similarly in the seventh plan period small pockets 100 termed as clusters were identified where population was 5000 or more and the scheduled tribe population was more than 50% of the total population. There are two clusters in the state. MADA pockets and clusters are out side the boundaries of TSP area.
District of Sarguja, Korea, Jashpur, Korba, Bastar, Kanker & Dantewada are covered fully & rest of the nine districts are covered partially under the tribal sub-plan. The 85 tribal development blocks are fully covered in sub-plan area. The geographical boundaries of the tribal sub-plan area is 8800 sq. k.m. which constitutes 65.12% of the total area of the state.

CHAPTER - V ENERGY
At the time of formation of the State, Chhattisgarh had only about 10% of transmission and distribution assets, while Madhya Pradesh had 90%. Because of such poor T and D infrastructure, there was tremendous problem of low voltage and frequent breakdown not only in rural areas, but also in cities. After formation of the State, State Electricity Board started improving T and D infrastructure on war footing by constructing 132/33KV, 33/11KV and 11/.4 KV Sub- Stations, augmentation of transformers and laying of 132 KV, 33KV, 11KV and distribution lines. Improvement in this infrastructure has led to massive increase in power consumption in the State. The peak consumption which was 1000-1100 MW have been increased to 1700-1800 MW. The assets and liabilities of MPEB have been divided by Govt. of India only on 4th November, 2004 i.e. after almost four years of the formation of the State. In the absence of final division, CSEB has been functioning in a very complex situation. However, the following major steps have been taken in reforming the power sector in Chhattisgarh. (i) Chhattisgarh State Regulatory Commission has been constituted in July, 2004 (ii) CSERC has directed CSEB to file the tariff petition by 31st January, 2005. (iii) Because of delay in final division of assets and liabilities, un-bundling of CSEB has also been affected. State Govt. intends to un-bundle CSEB soon. (iv) Investment of approx. 678 crore rupees have been made for improving transmission, sub-transmission and distribution infrastructure. (v) 79% of 33KV feeders and 11KV feeders have been metered. Balance 21% metering will be done by March, 2005. (v) Free electricity supply to farmers have been stopped. (vi) 329 MVAR capacitors in 33KV lines and 26.4 MVAR capacitors in 11KV lines have been installed to improve quality of supply. (vii) State Govt. makes regular payment of subsidies to CSEB against pumps and single point connections. (ix) Tripartite agreement in securitization of outstanding past dues of 9 CPSUs have been signed by State Government and CSEB.

CHAPTER - VI INDUSTRY AND MINERAL Chhattisgarh is one of the richest state in natural resources like minerals, water and forest produce. It has a vast untapped potential for industrialization and can easily leverage its core strengths like low cost land, peaceful industrial work force, availability of quality power and water, opportunities in infrastructure provisioning and its vast natural resources. Core strength of Chhattisgarh State is in the mineral based industry, particularly thermal power generation, and production of iron and steel, cement and aluminum. The State ranked 1st in terms of actual flow of investments during the year 2003-04. In terms of investment proposals reflected in the IEMs, Chhattisgarh moved from the 4th position in the year 2004 to 3rd position in year 2005. Over the past few years, over 5 million tonne per annum steel and sponge iron capacity has been added in the state, which is expected to increase to over 12 million tonnes per annum over the next four years. However, the new iron and steel units are facing acute problem of non-availability of coal and iron ore, the only producers of which in the state are the Central PSUs. The raw material availability position is such that if immediate steps are not taken, some units may have to close down, leading to loss of employment and social tensions. To solve the problem of iron ore availability of the local units, NMDC need to discontinue iron ore exports from it s Bailadila mines after March 2006, when it's long term agreements with foreign buyers would expire. The iron ore quantities so available should be supplied to the local units from the next year on the terms and conditions applicable to other domestic consumers. As regards coal, presently, there are around 40 operating iron/steel units in the State not having access to either captive local mines or coal linkage. Their applications for coal linkage are awaiting consideration for quite some time. To solve the problem of the existing units, the pending coal linkage request should be acceded to . Further, the present policy of treating the iron and steel industry as "core industry" for the purpose of coal allocation should be continued and wherever Coal India is in a position to give long term linkages, the same should be given. Where CIL has production constraints, coal blocks within the State should be allotted to the state government undertaking for supplying coal to the local steel and sponge iron units.
128 INDUSTRIAL POLICY 2004 – 2009 Introduction: • It is the endeavour of the state Government to work towards rapid economic growth with regional balance so as to take the state to the category of “developed states”. To bring about prosperity to the people of Chhattishgarh, it is necessary that the present rate of industrial growth increases substantially. Therefore, creation of a favourable investment environment for increasing industrial production and creating employment opportunities is one of the priority areas of the State Government. • Main objective of the new industrial policy is to utilize the abundant natural resources for the value addition in the state and to create maximum employment opportunities by setting up industries rapidly in all districts. • Special effort have been made in the industrial policy to ensure participation of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe in the industrial development and setting up of industries in the backward areas of the state . • It is hoped that by implementation of industrial policy 2004-09, industrialization will be accelerated and employment opportunities will be generated.
Objectives: • To generate maximum employment opportunities, by accelerating industrialization • To provide congenial atmosphere for the value addition of the minerals, forest produce and local resources in the state. • To ensure balanced regional development by attracting industries in the backward areas. • To ensure participation of the scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and weaker sections etc. in the development process.
Strategy: • To take appropriate steps for ensuring availability of basic infrastructure and services like Rail-Road, Electricity, and Water etc. To encourage private sector participation for providing Road, developed land, water etc. in the minimum time with quality; and to encourage captive power generation for providing cheaper electricity.
129 • To establish industrial areas, to expand existing industrial areas and to improve available services therein, in the entire state. • To establish special industrial parks and to provide common facilities by adopting cluster approach. • To give special encouragement to non-conventional industries which have potential on the basis of availability of necessary resources in the state. • To provide special financial assistance in the economically backward areas and to weaker class to set up industries. • To give special encouragement for the establishment of small and cottage industries. • To encourage technical up-gradation and modernization of the industrial units to face the challenges of international competition. • To offer special package necessary for revival of sick and closed industrial units. Effective system of “Single Point of Contact” and “Time Bound Clearance” would be developed. For rapid industrialization, the Government has adopted two pronged strategy i.e. to provide various incentives and subsidies to improve infrastructure in the state. To encourage entrepreneurs for establishment of industries, subsidies like State investment subsidy, Interest subsidy, Infrastructure support subsidy, Reimbursement for ISO 9000 certification etc. will be given. Improvement of infrastructure in industrial areas is a matter of great priority for the Government. All efforts will be made to upgrade basic infrastructure like road / drainage, water supply, power supply and street lighting etc. in industrial areas. New industrial areas will have good basic infrastructure.
Small Scale Industries 1400 SSI Units have been established during the year 2004-05 , with an investment of Rs.4673.19 Lakhs & 6055 persons got employment in these units. Since new Industrial Policy has been introduced from 1st November 2004, it is expected that around 1500 S.S.I units may be established during the year 2005-06. Ancillary to public sector units like BSP,SECL & CSEB are also likely to be established during next year. Package of fiscal incentives, being offered to SSI sector in the state is better than almost all the states and it is expected that apart from industries and business houses many first generation entrepreneurs will be encouraged to set up their own industries. To prepare them for this Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) 130 will be undertaken in a large scale. Existing SSI’s will be encouraged to upgrade the technology / process with a view to improving the competitiveness. Price and Purchase Preference will be given to SSIs of the state against large / medium industries and industries from outside the state. Various product–group–specific parks for development of herbal-medicinal, aluminum, food processing, metal industries etc. are proposed to be established, with common facilities like testing lab, tool room, storage etc. as may be required in the park.
Large & Medium Industries 16 LMI Units have been established during the Year 2004-05, in the state with an investment of Rs.103.05 crores giving employment to 691 persons. 13 Out of 16, are Sponge Iron units. More than 435 IEMs have been filed with Government of India for establishment of LMIs in the state and the state ranks third in this respect. Most of these IEM are for Sponge Iron, Steel and Power Projects. It is expected that around 25 LMI units with an investment of Rs.3500 crores will commence production during the year 2005-06. It is proposed to identify suitable areas in potential districts, for locating proposed large/medium industries keeping in view water availability and concern for environment and ecological balance. Captive and non-conventional power generation will be encouraged to meet the growing demand of power due to fast development in industrial and agricultural fields.
Special Economic Zone With a view to providing internationally competitive level playing field to the industrial units and, thus, to boost exports from the country, the Central Government came out with the scheme of (setting up) SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE (SEZ) in potential areas of the country. The State Government intends to set up an SEZ in the state for which the Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. (CSIDC) has been nominated as the nodal agency. C.S.I.D.C. is in the process of selection of suitable site for the same. Once conceptualized, necessary proposals would be submitted.
131 Development Of Growth Centers There are four major growth centers in Chhattisgarh viz. Siltara and Urla in Raipur district, Borai in Durg district and Sirgitti in Bilaspur district. These growth centers have been developed and maintained by Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. (CSIDC). The State Government is of the firm view that ‘Good Infrastructure’ is prerequisite and boosting factor for the industrial development of the state. Setting up of new and, expansion of existing growth centers with necessary infrastructure has become necessary as there is no land available for new industries in the existing growth centers. Development of new industrial areas in the districts, Kawardha, Mahasamund, Surguja, Dhamtari, Raigarh including expansion of Industrial Growth Center Borai in Durg-Rajnandgaon districts is being undertaken in first phase. Land for individual large/medium industries in potential areas are also being identified in advance, to cut down the gestation period consumed for such proposals whenever they come.
RURAL INDUSTRIES (SERICULTURE SECTOR)

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: Chhattisgarh State with wide-ranging socio-economic disparities is now witnessing the ongoing Information Technology (IT) revolution. The Government of Chhattisgarh visions ‘Vikas mool mantra, Aadhar loktantra’ (‘Driving Development through Democratic Governance’) and believes Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a particularly important medium for the state in reaching out and improving livelihoods specially for its overwhelming SC / ST population across 44% forest area, which had largely remained untouched by modern development. The State of Chhattisgarh recognizes the importance of Information and Communication Technology as a key enabler in its economic development and improving the quality of life. The state seeks to create a knowledge society where access to information and knowledge would be symmetric amongst all seekers and users and every citizen must feel comfortable in accessing information through IT – directly or through public - private partnerships. Accordingly, the State has prepared its IT policy with a vision of establishing an information society consisting of informed, active and therefore responsible citizens – the basic tenet of a true democracy. It seeks to provide all citizens widespread and easy access to government services, in the local language effectively addressing the existing digital divide and promoting entrepreneurs. 167 To realize its vision, the IT policy lays considerable stress on building a comprehensive IT infrastructure down to blocks and villages. This would not only help improve access, it would also help in bringing social development by supporting rapid economic development, facilitate distance education, improve levels of education and attract investment. Some of the major IT initiatives for the current and next Financial Year in the state of Chhattisgarh are as to be follows:
(1)- CHOiCE: CHOiCE an acronym for CHhattisgarh Online information System for Citizen Empowerment is in the implementation stage. CHOiCE provides one stop solution, for anywhere, any time, based secure services for all the requirements of citizen. CHOiCE, equally stands for the choice available to citizens to avail services from public offices with care, courtesy and utmost ease. CHOiCE centres will provide a wide range of services including connectivity, information, IT education, e-governance and e-commerce. The project involves a complete 360-degree view of all Citizen Government interactions.
(2)- GIS for Planning: State has developed a very comprehensive Geographical Information System (GIS) having 37 layers. Using satellite data, natural resource mapping has been carried out on 1:50,000 scales based on satellite imageries and digital processing. The special data infrastructure includes natural resource maps, digital database, natural resource assessment and management and finally a decision support system for various Departments. The GIS system will be used for long term planning of the development of the state.

The implementation of e-Procurement is now in the pilot stage in the five Departments of the State viz; Chhattisgarh State Infrastructure Development Corporation (CSIDC), Health Department, Public Works Department (PWD), Water Resource Department (WRD) and Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board (CSEB). It is expected that implementation will ensure faster processing, transparency, accountability and recurring Government saving.
(10) Groundwater Modelling System (GMS) & Watershed Modelling System (WMS): GMS provide tools for every phase of groundwater simulation, including the site characterisation, model development, post processing, calibration, and visualisation.
(11) e-Government Roadmap: The state would develop a comprehensive e- Government Roadmap for Chhattisgarh. The roadmap comprises of the following components: (i) e-Government Vision, (ii) e-Government Strategy, (iii) e-Government Blue Print, (iv) e-Government Program and (v) e-Government Ecosystem.
169 (12) Online Computerization of Treasuries in Chhattisgarh: The Treasury project connecting all 63 Treasuries / Sub-Treasuries in the State into a WAN is underway. Treasury operations will become online, leading to better liquidity management and a hybrid State-wide network which will enable budgetary control on a day-to-day basis thus saving crores of Rupees right now being spent as interest costs annually.
(13) Information System for Chhattisgarh Commercial Tax Department: For better management of revenue collection and budgetary control a comprehensive management information system has been designed and established in the State of Chhattisgarh for Commercial Tax Department. This system include MIS for better functioning, networking between different offices in the state and centrally managed data centre.

The network has been extended to Office of Resident Commissioner at New Delhi. This system is being used for better Governance, public grievance redressal and coordination with district offices by different departments.
(15) Telemedicine: A comprehensive telemedicine network would be launched which would also ride over State Wide Area Network. The objective of the State telemedicine net would be to provide instant medical advice and facilities to the citizens of the State, irrespective of the location. This would cover far-flung and tribal/ backward areas.
(16) Mission approach to State Capacity Building: The mantra for introduction of IT in Government reduction in establishment expenditure. A scheme of incentives would be introduced to motivate all Government employees to become computer proficient, Hardware supplies are being contracted with a compulsory clause on familiarization of employees in the operations. NISG (National Institute of Smart Governance) and other leading institutes have been identified as organizations to help ‘Train the trainer’ to create a resource pool within the state for e-government initiatives in the state.
State has given focused attention on capacity building. A part of this strategy the initiatives on capacity building focuses not only the top most layer of the administrative machinery pyramid i.e the political executive but also the humble class IV employees of the Government. In a very ambitious training programme, whole Government machinery including the political executives, senior bureaucrats and all class of Government employees including class IV are being given computer training.
170 In order to increase the capacities of the college students, e-Class room has been rolled out. Five more e-classrooms will be started in current year. For the benefit of school children, a very ambitious programme of creating “Centre of Excellence” for imparting education in each of the district headquarters has already been started. This “Centre of Excellence” will have the 60 seater state-of-art laboratory for imparting IT education for school children.
Implementation and Monitoring: To guide and supervise implementation of IT Policy, an Empowered Committee under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary has been constituted. This Empowered Committee shall be competent to periodically review the list of products and services falling under IT and IT Enabled Services and amend such lists from time to time as required. CHiPS would serve as the secretariat to this empowered committee. IT has two components. While the first component deals with export figures where the southern states and Delhi are doing remarkably well, the second component deals with leveraging IT for improving Governance. Chhattisgarh is doing remarkably well in the second component and in next couple of years would be ranked among the front line states in India. BIOTECHNOLOGY:
Biotechnology has a key role to play for our future prosperity. Chhattisgarh is a biodiversity hotspot and is thus well poised to assume a significant and leading place in the biotechnology sector. Given a facilitative environment Biotechnology as a scientific tool holds immense promise in areas as wide ranging as Agriculture, Health and Medical Research, Communication, Industrial & Environmental Biotechnology, Human Resource Development.

Target for 2006-07 is proposed to be 6 crore seedlings. Most of the fund flow for these plantations is expected from National Food for Work Programme and from Chhattisgarh Bio-fuel Development Authority. Department proposes to run some its diesel vehicles on biodiesel depending on the availability of biodiesel.
8. EMPLOYMENT GENERATION BY FORESTRY SECTOR
With more than 50% of the villages in the state, situated with in 5 km periphery of forest boundaries, the economy of tribals and forest dwellers is mainly forest dependant. Forest provides maximum employment to people living in the most inaccessible areas. Forestry works like M.F.P. Collection, value addition, demarcation, marking of coupes, logging operations in coupes of timber and bamboo, road repairs, fire protection, plantations, nursery work, soil conservation work and other forestry operations are labour intensive and provide 650 lakh mandays of employment directly to the most needy poor tribals. Forest department directly generates about 280 lakh mandays of employment from plan/non-plan allocations, compensatory afforestation, works through FDAs, relief works and schemes of rural development department. Employment generation from saw mills, transportation of timber and bamboo, bamboo craftsmen and carpenters is about 50 lakh mandays. Collection of nationalised and non- nationalised minor forest produce generates 300 lakh mandays of employment. While activity of the Forest Development Corporation generate 20 lakh mandays. Employment generation from forestry can be enhanced substantially by increasing the productivity of forests and by activities involving processing and value addition to forests produce.

196 2- Non-nationalized Non-wood Forest Produce including Medicinal, Aromatic and Dye Plants The MFP Federation, apart from directly dealing in Nationalized Minor Forest Produce also deals with Non-nationalized Minor Forest Produce including Medicinal, Aromatic and Dye Plants. There are more than 100 species of NWFP being traded in the state. The estimated annual trade of the non-nationalized NWFPs is about Rs. 300 crores. Through the MFP Federation, the State Government has initiated appropriate measures to develop these resources though enabling policies with the objective of sustainability managing these resources as well as accruing maximum benefits to the local communities. The various components are as follows � Resource Inventory. � In-Situ conservation of NWFP rich areas � Ex-Situ propagation of commercially important NWFP species. � Non-destructive Harvesting of NWFP. � Herbal Health Care. � Grading ,processing and Value addition of NWFP. � Capacity building at all levels. � Marketing of NWFP. � Certification of NWFP.
2.1 NWFP Resource Inventory Chhattisgarh, the storehouse of NWFP, needs a systematic NWFP resource inventory for ascertaining the potential, yield and harvest levels of NWFP. This will enable the planners to develop action plans for conservation, management, harvesting and value addition of NWFP suitably addressing the livelihood issues of rural communities. This will be possible only by developing inventory methodology, establishment of permanent sample plots and development of management information system. Currently the Federation has initiated the efforts on small scale and it is to be expanded in the entire state as early as possible.
2.2 In-Situ Conservation of NWFP Rich Forest Areas Chhattisgarh has initiated efforts for conservation, management and sustainable utilization of NWFP rich areas in people's protected areas through people's participation. Currently more than 1.5 lac ha. has been intensively managed and the results are positive. These efforts are to be extended in the whole state for increasing the NWFP 197 yield in terms of quality, quantity and diversity. This step aims at sustainable management of forest eco-systems and meeting the future demand.
2.3 Herbal Health Care Chattishgarh State has rich tradition of traditional herbal Health Care for curing rural population. The important local herbal care systems are being promoted through Van Aushadalayas of the state managed by traditional healers.

So far 1225 qtls. of raw material has been utilized worth Rs. 8.3 lacs value of product has been sold in the current year.
199 2.4.6 Medicinal Plants collection and trade Chattisgarh is very rich in variety of medicinal plants and their value increases by many folds if good collection and processing techniques are followed. Hence the Federation has initiated steps to collect high quality medicinal plants like Kalmegh from the in-situ areas of PPAs through good collection practices.
2.5 Capacity Building Considering the high potential of NWFP in creating the sustainable livelihood to rural masses, capacity building of the organization and its members i.e., primary collectors of NWFP is very much essential to achieve long lasting results. Trainings, exposure visits and incentives for excellence are some of the activities that are urgently required. Federation has already initiated capacity building program on Kullu Gum for 80 staff members and 200 gum collectors as master trainers in Dantewada district through Kovel Foundation, Vishakhapatanam (NGO). Training on cultivation and marketing of medicinal plants has been given to 256 people by CEDMAP. Similarly 500 master trainers and 2000 farmers have been trained in Lac cultivation in the current year. The capacity building program will be expanded for these NWFP and other NWFP in the future.
2.6 Management Information System Considering the diversity of NWFP and associated operations a full-fledged MIS is the need of hour for creating, managing and monitoring the information at various stages. MIS cell has been created in the federation for networking with relevant information. Directory of NWFP Traders, quantities of NWFP traded based on Transit Pass and Information on NWFP based Processing Centers and Local markets have been developed.
2.7 Research and Development NWFP, being a new field of concern, a lot of R & D efforts are needed to optimize and effectively utilize resources. Thus R & D is required to conduct studies and develop, Good Collection Practices, Non-destructive harvesting Techniques, Silvicultural Systems for optimizing yield and Value Addition Techniques etc. Accordingly 12 R&D projects have been sanctioned in the current year to TFRI Jabalpur.
200 2.8 Marketing C.G.M.F.P. Federation is having rich experience in collecting and marketing of Nationalized NWFP due to its monopoly but marketing of Non- Nationalized NWFP needs much more efforts in identifying and capturing market linkages due to its diversity, high fluctuations in production and market prices. Hence a market cell has been established at Federation head quarters and circle head quarters to provide suitable market linkages to primary co-operative societies.
2.9 Projects for promoting NWFP based livelihood activities A project as Grant-in-aid from European Commission for promoting NWFP based livelihood activities with an outlay of Rs. 22.50 crores has been sanctioned for three years beginning from 2006-07.

Infrastructure
There is total of 1973 High schools and 1794 Higher Secondary School in the State. As can be seen from Chart- 2 given below less than half of these schools are Government Schools. In recent years a new trend has emerged of opening Jan Bhagidari Schools, where the space of a Government Upper Primary School is used by a Panchayat or an Urban Local Body to start a High School of a Higher Secondary School from Public Contributions. 547 High Schools and 222 Higher Secondary Schools have been opened in this manner. It can be seen that 55% High Schools and 45% Higher Secondary Schools in the State are either of the Private Sector entirely, or are Jan Bhagidari Schools. Only 1% Private Sector High Schools and 3% Private Sector Higher Secondary Schools get financial aid from the State Government.

Government attaches great importance to education infrastructure. In the budget for the financial year 2005-06 Rs 36.57 crores have been provided for construction of new Schools buildings and Rs 4 crores have been provided for repairs of old and dilapidated school buildings. Rs 5 crores have been provided for construction of toilets in schools.

The State Government has also provided Rs 335 lakh for providing furniture and Rs 300 lakh for providing Tat Pattis in schools.
Manpower
The single most important input in school education is the teacher. The data on Teachers in Government Schools of the State is given in the table below:
S.No. Level Type of School Tribal Total Teacher Education Development Department Department 1 Primary Lower 32299 15505 47804 Division Teacher Shiksha 13143 5269 18412 Karmi Grade-3 Total 45442 20774 66216 219 S.No. Level Type of School Tribal Total Teacher Education Development Department Department 2 Upper Primary Lower 6982 3832 10814 Division Teacher Upper 3389 2241 5630 Division Teacher Shiksha 4357 2521 6878 Karmi Grade-3 Shiksha 1323 787 2110 Karmi Grade-2 Total 16051 9381 25432 3 High School Upper 3243 2663 5906 Division Teacher Shiksha 2310 2072 4382 Karmi Grade-2 Total 5553 4735 10288 4 Higher Lecturer 2085 1283 3368 Secondary Shiksha 887 1189 2076 School Karmi Grade-1 Total 2972 2472 5444 Grand Total 70018 37362 107380
In addition to this The State Government has sanctioned 16797 new posts of Shiksha Karmi Grade -3 and 5452 new posts of Shiksha Karmi Grade -2. The process to recruit teachers on these posts is on at present. The Teacher Pupil Ratio is close to the National norm. With the recruitment of new teachers we shall be able to attain the National norm of 40:1.
In spite of the massive recruitment of teachers there are still quite a few single teacher schools. The State shall endeavor to provide at least two teachers in each school. Most schools in rural areas have a multi-grade situation i.e. each teachers is obliged to teach in more than one class at the same time. This happens because we are not able to provide one teacher per class. This situation will continue till the National norms for providing teachers are rationalized. The state has therefore decided to train all Primary and Upper Primary School teachers in Multi-grade teaching technologies.
220 A very large number of our teachers do not fulfill the NCTE requirement of having a D.Ed. qualification. The State has therefore undertaken the task of helping all of these teachers get the D.Ed. qualification through a correspondence course. 16000 teachers have been enrolled in the correspondence course of Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education, and 11000 teachers have been enrolled with Indira Gandhi National Open University. The State Government is paying the fees of the course for all of these teachers.
The state Government has taken another important policy decision with regards to recruitment of teachers which will have a far reaching effect. In the last few years we had recruited a variety of teachers under various schemes. Some of these are mentioned below:
1. Regular teachers in Government service. 2. Shiksha Karmis appointed by PRis and ULBs in regual pay scales. 3. Contract teachers appointed by the State Government. 4. Contract teachers appointed by PRIs and ULBs. 5. Gurujis appointed by PRIs under the Education Gurantee Scheme (EGS).
Many of these teachers were not career teachers, but were para-teachers appointed on very low salaries. One or the other group of such teachers were always on strike and teaching learning in schools suffered as a consequence. The State Government has now converted all of the teachers except regular government teachers to Shiksha Karmis. Thus all the teachers working in tje State are now either regular government teachers working in a regular pay scale, or shiksha karmis, who are employees of PRIs and ULBs, and are also regular teachers working on regular pay scales. A decision has also been taken that henceforth all recruitment of teachers will only be done by PRIs and ULBs on the post of Shiksha Karmis. Thus in a few years we will have only one kind of teachers left in the State, and all of them will be the employees of PRIs and ULBs.
Role of Local Bodies
Chhattisgarh is one of the few sates which have taken a lead in delegation of powers to local bodies. School education is the most important sector where powers have been delegated to local bodies is school education. Soon after the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments were passed, Madhya Pradesh passed its new Panchayat 221 Act, incorporating all the salient features of the Constitutional amendments. Chhattisgarh has adopted the Madhya Pradesh Panchayat Act. This is a very progressive piece of legislation, which gives lots of powers and authority to the Panchayati Raj institutions (PRIs). Similar amendments were done in the Municipal Corporation Act and the Municipalities Act to empower Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). The State Government has taken the following policy decisions in this regard:
1. All schools in rural areas have been handed over to PRIs and all shools in urban areas have been handed over to ULBs. 2. Chief Executive Officers of Zila Panchayats, and Commissioners of Municipal Corporations have been declared ex-officio Additional Directors of School Education department. 3. All teachers of the Schools Education Department have been placed under the control of PRIs and ULBs. 4. It has been decided that there shall be no direct recruitment of teachers by the State Government. All fresh direct recruitment of teachers shall be done by the respective PRI and ULB on the post of Shiksha Karmis. Detailed rules have been framed for this purpose under the respective Acts. Shiksha Karmis are career teachers with a regular pay scale and are employees of the concerned PRI or ULB. PRIs and ULBs are given grant-in-aid by the State Government to pay the salaries of Shiksha Karmis. In this manner gradually all teachers in schools will become employees of PRIs and ULBs. 5. All construction work, and other development work in schools is done through PRIs and ULBs. 6. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is implemented in the State though PRIs and ULBs.
Role of Communities
The State Government firmly believes that goals in the field of education can only be met with active participation of the communities. the Government has therefore institutionalized the community support mechanism through a Jan Bhagidari Samiti in every school. The Jan Bhagidari Samiti has members from the community, including the parents and guardians of students, members of local bodies, and persons nominated by the minister in-charge of the district. The Jan Bhagidari Samiti has been given a role in the overall functioning of the school. All development works in the school are supervised b y this committee. The committee also checks the way teaching learning happens in the school and can give constructive suggestions to the Principal of the school. The Government has planned a massive orientation programme for members of Jan Bhagidari Samitis to help them in performing their task better.
222
Teacher Education
The State Council of Education Research and Training (SCERT) is responsible for teacher education in the State. SCERT has two Colleges of Education, 16 District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) and 2 Basic Training Institutes (BTIs) under it. One DIET belongs to the Tribal Development Department. Government has recently sanctioned a DIET in each district. In 4 districts new DIETs have been sanctioned with a cost of Rs 150 lakhs per DIET and in 5 districts BTIs have been upgraded to DIETs with a cost of Rs 90 lakh per DIET.
A State Institute of Education Management and Training (SIEMAT) has also been sanctioned in the State to improve quality of education management. The new building of SIEMAT costing Rs 300 lakh is being constructed in the SCERT campus.
Government lays great emphasis on training of teachers. It has been decided to impart 20 days teachers training to all elementary school teachers under SSA. SCERT has already training District and Block Academic Groups, who will in turn give training to teachers.
The State has a policy of encouraging private participation in teacher education. -- -- private sector teacher education colleges have been given permission for running B.Ed. and D.Ed. courses. One private sector college - Kalyan Mahavidyalaya Durg get a grant- in-aid from the State Government for runnning teacher education courses.
Yoga and Value Education
State Government has taken a decision to include Yoga and Value Education in the curriculum at all levels from this year. SCERT has prepared a handbook for the use of teachers for this purpose. SCERT is also giving training to teachers to Yoga and Value Education.
Teaching of Languages
1. English Teaching: English teaching has been introduced right from standard one in Chhattisgarh four years back. This has been done on popular demand, as parents of most children feel that knowledge of English will make their children
223 more competitive in today's world. SCERT has started special programmes for training of teachers in English teaching. One State level English Language Teaching Institute (ELTI) and two District Centers of English (DCE) have been started for this purpose. In addition to this a programme of English teaching in distance mode through radio is being run with the help of an United States based NGO in 300 schools in 3 blocks.
2. Teaching of Urdu and Minorities Education: The Chhattisgarh Madarsa Board is responsible for madarsas and minorities education in the State. The Madrasa board registers madarsa, and helpd them in modernization of education. Grant-in aid proposals for 33 madarsas have been sent to Government of India under madrsa modernization scheme. 473 posts of urdu shikshak karmis have been sanctioned this year for teaching of Urdu in schools. 3. Sanskrit Education: State government is committed to the advancement of Sanskrit. Sanskrit Board has been constituted for this purpose. Sanskrit is taught as a compulsory subject form class 6 to 10, and as an optional subject in class 11 and 12. These are 12 functioning traditional sanskrit pathshalas in the State. 4. Promotion of Chhattisgarhi Language: State Government has constituted Chhattisgarhi Bhasha Parishad for the promotion of Chhattisgarhi language. 5. Teaching of other Indian Languages: Orria, Telugu and Marathi is taught in some schools in the State which border other states. These is a provision in sarva Shiksha Abhiyan for support to teaching of these other languages. 6. Teaching in Tribal Languages: many tribal languages are spoken in the State. Tribal Research Institute of Madhya Pradesh had prepared text books for use in classes 1 to 5 in Kuduk, Gondi, and halbi languages. Government however feels that an open debate and consensus building is necessary before teaching in these languages is stated in the schools of the state.
Academic Monitoring
Quality in education can be brought about only by a process of continuous academic monitoring, and solution of academic problems of teachers. This is done in the State through a system of Block and cluster Academic Coordinators. SCERT has recently undertaken to revamp the entire system of academic monitoring, and is organizing special training of block and cluster academic coordinators for this purpose. 224
Text Books and other Reading and Teaching Learning Material
After teachers the second most important input in education is the text book. Government of Chhattisgarh has taken many bold decisions in this respect which will benefit students and will help in improvement of teaching-learning in the state. Some of these are:
1. All text books from class 1 to 8 are now being printed on 80 gsm paper in four colors. 2. Text books from class 1 to 8 are now being distributed free of cost to all children irrespective of caste of sex. Free text books are being given even to students of private schools. 3. Free text books are being distributed to all girl students in class 9 and 10 in all Government schools. 4. Government has established the Chhattisgarh Text Book Corporation for printing and distribution of text books. 5. Poor children in government schools do not get to read any thing other than the text book. The State Government has stated publication and free distribution of two children's magazines, "Bachpan" for class 1 to 5 and "Balmitra" for class 6 to 8. These magazines provide information and education and help young children to develop reading habits. 6. Free work books have also been given to all children of class 1 to 8 this year in order to give them some practice in writing. 7. SCERT has prepared a do-it-yourself handbook for the use of primary school teachers for preparation of Teaching-Learning-Material (TLM) with the Rs 500 per year per teacher grant under SSA. 8. SCERT has also started the process of revision of text books with the help of teachers in Chhattisgarh, and representatives of NGOs from across the country.
Challenges in Elementary Education
1. Diversity and uneven progress -Among the daunting challenges faced in Chhattisgarh is its diversity - this essentially implies that the range and intensity of problems faced vary across districts and within districts, blocks and clusters. Infrastructure (especially roads, transportation), economic situation, social profile 225 and level of penetration of the market exert a significant influence on educational access, availability of teachers (their regularity, absenteeism), efficacy of monitoring systems and so on. It is not only that there is a big difference between tribal and non-tribal areas, rural and urban areas, remote and accessible areas, but there are also significant differences among different social groups - some tribal groups being far more disadvantaged than others (for example Pahadi Korba, Abujh Maria living in the deep forests of Narayanpur area of Bastar, Bison Horn Maria living in Jagdalpur area, Bhatra of Bastar and south Raipur). This poses a big challenge to planners and affects the following areas in education: - Location and the distribution of schools across differently endowed areas; - Engagement and participation in existing committees and other mechanisms established to promote community participation; - Availability of teachers, problems with respect to teacher regularity, absenteeism; - Access to academic support and availability of teacher education opportunities; higher proportion of untrained teachers; - Regular monitoring due to relatively poor infrastructure; and - Availability of trained human resources in related institutions (administrative and academic)
2. Availability of schools and prevalent multi grade situation: While there is ample evidence to show that there is a tremendous demand for education and that enrolment has gone up significantly - the existence of multi grade schools is a big challenge. Recent information show that there has been a tremendous expansion of primary schools in the state and there has been a 74.87 percentage increase in the number of primary school teachers from the Sixth Educational Survey (1993) to the Seventh (2002). The percentage of female teachers is 35.89 per cent. Notwithstanding this positive trend the 7th Educational Survey (NCERT, 2002) also reports that 205 (186 of them rural) out of 23,951 schools visited had no teachers, and 3503 schools had only one teacher. This implies that a very large number of them are multi-grade schools where one teacher has to manage different grades in the same classroom thereby putting a tremendous amount of pressure on teachers who are not trained to handle multi grade situations. While the number of Upper Primary Schools has increased from 3743 (3338 rural) in 1993 to 6293 (5406 rural) in 2002, only 6108 habitations have an upper primary school within them (as compared to 37,933 having primary schools), 20,320 habitations have an upper primary school within three kilometres and 11,505 have it beyond three kilometers. (Source NCERT, 7th Educational Survey, 2002). The government proposes to fill 226 this gap within the next 3 to 4 years, as evident from the SSA plans prepared by the state government. 3. Teacher motivation and teacher absenteeism: A recent study conducted in 2003 (Kremer et al, June 2004, Harvard University, funded by World Bank) indicates that teacher absenteeism in the state is a very serious problem with 30.6% of teachers being absent in schools visited in 2003 and no teaching activity observed in almost 80% of schools visited. This information highlights the grave situation with respect to teacher availability in the school and its impact on the real TPR as it obtains on the ground. Evidence from several areas of the country and also other countries show that alcoholism and other forms of addiction is also a big problem - especially in tribal areas (Source: Ongoing research of ERU in Andhra Pradesh, 2004-05). While similar studies are not available in Chhattisgarh, this could be an area of concern. This further vitiates the school environment, reducing teaching time. The teacher is the fulcrum around whom the entire education system revolves. The social status of the teacher in the community, the value placed on teaching as a profession by potential aspirants, the way they are managed by the administration - all these exert a strong influence on teacher motivation. A qualitative research study done in 1999-2000 (prior to the formation of Chhattisgarh) revealed that there were problems of regular payment of salaries, reimbursement of training / official work related travel claims and over loading of teachers with a range of non-teaching duties (Vimala Ramachandran (ed): Hierarchies of Access, European Commission, 2002). Complicating this situation is the decision of the state government to declare the "formal school teacher" as a dying cadre and replace them with contract teachers at all levels. This trend of de professionalization of teaching as a profession could have long-term effect on the quality of education. Experience of addressing teacher motivation issues in several states of India and indeed in several countries of the world point to the need for a multi-pronged strategy simultaneously addressing: a. teacher cadre management issues, b. community based support and monitoring programmes, c. administrative mechanisms to give more teeth to block and district level structures to plan for their own area, d. avenues for professional growth of teachers and restoring their professional status and e. regular awards and prizes to encourage teachers to do their best with the available resources.
227 4. The language issue at the primary level: Given that 32.5 per cent of the population of the state is tribal, and given that there different tribal groups speaking different languages and dialects, the ability of small children (at the primary level) to comprehend Hindi language emerged as an important issue of concern. The situation is particularly worrisome in border districts - for example in Dantewada district, Gondi & some other dialects are spoken, in other areas Oriya & Telugu are spoken. It would therefore be important for the state government to develop a strategy to bridge the language gap at the primary state so that children can gradually master the official state language. 5. Educational needs of urban deprived and child labour: The government has also flagged the need for appropriate educational facilities for urban deprived children (children living in urban slums and resettlement colonies, street and working children and children who need special attention (migrant workers, sex workers, remand homes etc.). Discussions with government officials revealed that the government has also invited MV Foundation of Andhra Pradesh to help them initiate programmes to get child labour out of work and into full time schooling. Discussions have also been initiated with other national NGOs and corporate bodies. While a range of strategies are under active consideration, systematic planning to cover all the special focus group of children is an urgent requirement, especially in the light of the 83rd Constitutional Amendment making universal elementary education a Fundamental Right of every child. 6. Diversity inside the classroom: The positive trend visible in Chhattisgarh is the unprecedented increase in enrolment with hitherto excluded communities sending their children to school. While this is indeed a welcome trend that needs to be encouraged and strengthened, the reality is that children from diverse background in both rural and urban areas and from families and communities that do not have even a single literate person are now entering school. This has made the classroom far more complex with teachers having to manage far greater diversity in the classroom. While this problem has been acknowledged across the country, supporting the teachers and the community to manage this diversity is a big challenge. A host of teacher related issues discussed above acquires a greater sense of urgency in the light of this diversity - especially teacher training. 7. Community mobilization: Mobilization of the community has been identified as a critical input into universal enrolment and retention. Given the population 228 distribution in Chhattisgarh, especially in the tribal areas and given the relatively low levels of exposure to education and the media - especially in rural remote areas and in small habitations dotting the forest areas; community mobilization efforts would require a considerable amount of investment in both human and financial resources. Again, these kinds of intensive community level activities cannot be done effectively within the financial norms of the SSA programme. Special time-bound programmes need to be planned for those areas identified as being the most vulnerable - especially with respect to regular attendance and to prevent children from dropping out. 8. Child care and pre-school education: Livelihood patterns of tribal communities often involve long hours in the forests to collect Non-timber Forest Produce (NTFP) and absence of parents from the habitation during peak agricultural activities especially where "podu" or shifting cultivation is practiced. The provision for childcare centres and pre-school education is limited to Rs 15 lakhs available under the innovation fund. Regular attendance and effective participation of young girls in school is often inhibited by sibling care responsibilities. It is now widely acknowledged that the ICDS programme has not been able to meet the requirement of childcare during school hours. Furthermore, not all habitations are covered under the ICDS programme. Planning and designing community based childcare facilities and pre-school education programmes has been inhibited by lack of resources. This remains a big challenge in the state.
Model Higher Secondary Schools
Government has decided to upgrade one Higher Secondary school in each district except Dantewada as a Model School. Rs 15 Crore has been provided in the in this years' budget for this. In this scheme all facilities will be provided to improve teaching standards in these schools.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) State Government feels that ICT education is very important for our children to be competitive in the modern world. In addition, ICT can be used as a very good teaching- learning tool. State Government has started various schemes for this purpose: 1. Chhattisgarh Soochna Shakti Scheme: Under this scheme free ICT education will be given to more than 130000 girl students in High Schools and Higher Secondary Schools of the State. This is being done on BOOT model with NIIT, a 229 reputed company in the filed of ICT. Boys can also make use of the facility on payment of a small fee of Rs 70 per month. 2. State-of-the-art Computer Center in each district: Government is setting up a State-of-the-art computer center in each district at a cost of Rs 688 lakhs. These centers will be used as model centers to provide computer education and computer training in the district. Each Center will have 60 computers, projection equipment, and training facilities. 3. Headstart: Under this scheme computers have been provided as a teaching- learning tool in Upper Primary Schools for teaching of regular subjects like language and mathematics. A new scheme has been started this year where 10 touch screen computers with self learning software for education hard-spots will be given to Upper Primary Schools. The scheme will be launched in 57 schools this year. 4. EDUSAT and other Distance Education Initiatives: The State will take full advantage of EDUSAT, and use all distance learning technologies available to it.
Personal Accident Insurance for Students
All students of the State are covered under an personal accident insurance scheme. last year the scheme was implemented through public sector insurance companies. This year however it has been decided to have a corpus fund in each district from which claims can be sanctioned by the collector.
Scheme of Giving Bicycles to Girls Students (Saraswati Yojna)
Government has started this new and innovative scheme from last year. In this scheme all scheduled caste and scheduled tribe girl students studying in High Schools and Higher Secondary Schools will be given a bicycle. This year a sum of Rs 553 lakh has been provided for this scheme in the budget.
Scheme of giving School Uniforms
In this scheme free school uniforms are given to approximately 6 lakh girls students belonging to scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other backward classes, studying in primary schools. Rs 3 crores have been provided in the budget this year for this scheme.
230 Mid day Meal
Chhattisgarh is one of the first States to start giving cooked food to students in Primary schools. Mid-day-meal scheme is operation in all government primary schools in the state. This scheme is implemented with the help of PRIs and ULBs. Under this scheme rice is given free of cost by Government of India. In addition 2 rupees per beneficiary per day is given as conversion cost. Of this one rupee comes from Government of India and one rupee comes form the State Government. Every school has a weekly menu prepared for each school. Sweets are given at least once a week. There are instructions to give fresh fruit whenever possible. Eggs are given where parents and children consent to it. Instructions have also been given to give iron-folic acid tablets, and de-worming medicines to take care of the nutrition of children. In many places food is cooked by women self help groups. Monitoring of the scheme is done at the highest level. Kitchen sheds re being constructed in many schools. Gas connections and gas stoves have been provided in all the 12500 primary schools of the school education department for the cooking of the food.
Sports in School
Sports activities are given due importance as co-curricular activity in all schools. Last year teams from Chhattisgarh was runners up in National school women's football, and was the winner in Kabaddi. Chhattisgarh was also the winner of 5 Kilometer walking competition. A budget provision of 83 lakhs has been kept for sports in schools.
National Cadet Corps (NCC)
NCC is available in 144 schools in Chhattisgarh. Chhattisgarh is covered under the Directorate of Madhya Pradesh Bhopal. There is group Headquarter in Raipur.
Adult Literacy
Adult literacy programmes are implemented by the State Literacy Mission Authority which is chaired by the Honourable Chief Minister of the State. Total Literacy Campaign (TLC is running in South Bastar (Dantewada) district. TLC has been run in all the remianing districts of the State. Post Literacy Campaign (PLC) has been sanctioned for Korea, Jashpur, Mahasamund, Dhamtari and Kanker districts. Continuing Education
231 Projects (CEE) are running in Durg districts, and have been recently sanctioned for Raipur, Rajnandgaon, Raigarh and Surguja districts.

MEDICAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
HEALTH STATUS:
Chhattisgarh’s health status has shown steady improvement over the last five years since its creation. Nevertheless it remains one of the EAG states of northern India whose health status as judged by a number of indicators is weak. ( see table 1 below).
S. No Indicator National Chhattisgarh Average Average 1 2 3 4 1 Birth Rate 24.8 25.2 2 Death Rate 8 8.5 3 IMR 60 70 4 MMR 408 408+ 5 Child Malnutrition (Under 5) 52+ 60.8 6 Sex Ratio 933 990 7 Decadal Growth Rate 21.04 18.6
The major influences on these basic health status indicators are the social determinants of health – levels of poverty and inequity, malnutrition, access to safe drinking water and sanitation, access to gainful employment and levels of education. After these social determinants the next important determinant is the access to primary health care services backed by an adequate referral arrangement. In the social determinants there have been positive developments in some areas especially in the decadal increase in girls education, but in other areas like the nutritional status the situation remain grim. As regards access to primary health care services the state had to develop strategies to overcome the problems of geography- remote scattered habitations in forested and hilly areas, the socio- economic barriers, as well as cultural barriers – a diverse ethnic groups steeped in traditional practices some of which are valuable, but some of which prevented access to modern health care. The state has done relatively better in the area of sex ratio and fertility control largely because of a better gender equity situation and increasing women’s education. Of these indicators IMR is most useful as reliable data is available annually from the SRS surveys and it is possible to co-relate with health service provision and access.
Infant Mortality Rate: The IMR was 79 in the year 2000 – at the formation of the state. It dropped to 77 in the year 2001, 73 in the year 2002 and to 70 in the year 2003. The rural 265 IMR dropped in this same period from 95 in the year 2000, to 88 in the year 2001 to 85 in 2002 and 77 in the year 2003. At the same time the all India total IMR had also declined from 70 to 62 – a decline of 8 points as compared to Chhattisgarh’s decline of 9 points. The catch up is all the more dramatic in rural IMR where Chhattisgarhs rural IMR declined by 18 points over 5 years whereas all India rural IMR has fallen only by 5 points in this period (from 74 to 69). Chhattisgarh this started its statehood far behind national rural IMR – by 21 points and in three years has narrowed it to only 8 points. This is an outcome of our two key strategies strengthening of routine subcenters services and the 60,000 strong community health volunteer workforce of the Mitanin programme and if we persist with this we hope to have caught up or crossed the all India rural IMR figure. In contrast urban IMR, where sub- centers are weak and there is no Mitanin programme has seen a rise of IMR from 49 in 2000 to 58 in 2001 ( which is an artifact as the year 2000 figure was culled out of the unified sample with MP and could not have been accurate, and has since fallen by only two points to reach 56 in 2003( with an unexplained dip to 51 in 2002). There is a need to strengthen the urban RCH programmes. We also note that the ratio of male to female IMR (a sensitive gender equity index) puts CG at an achievement level of 1.09 which is the fifth highest amongst all major states. We hope to touch an IMR of 40 by the end of the plan period provided we are able to able to persist in both these key areas- strengthening routine sub-center services . and continuing at the same pace with the Mitanin programme. On maternal mortality there are no figures available but in parallel to IMR we hope there has been a decline as some components like the provision of antenatal care would have increased in parallel. However since institutional care especially for obstetric emergencies have been slow to develop
Health Care Resouces in Chhattisgarh :
According to 2001 census the total population of Chhattisgarh is 2.08 crore. Given the relatively poor penetration of the private health sector and the economic condition of the people one has to depend largely on public health system to deliver the health care services.

Below is brief description of the key health facilties and their status as of date:
Sub Health Centers :- Sub centers are the most important peripheral govt. service unit providing primary health care services to the rural population of the state . According to the prescribed norms one sub center is established over 5000 rural populations in plains and on every 3000 population in tribal, backward and difficult areas. Total no. of SHCs are 4692.Out of these 2378 SHC are running in govt. buildings,201 SHC buildings are under construction. So there is urgent need to construct buildings for remaining 2113 SHC. Efforts are being made to provide govt. buildings to all these institutions.
Primary Health Centers :- It is a very important govt. health institution in the rural areas where community comes to direct contact with the Medical Officer for getting the medical care services. The population norms for the establishment of primary health centers is, one for every 30,000 rural population in plains and on every 20000 rural population in tribal, backward and difficult areas. So far, the required numbers of PHCs on the population norms basis have been established out of which only 326 PHCs are functioning in govt. building, 38 buildings are under construction. Thus there is still a shortage of 152 buildings. So there is urgent need to provide buildings to these institutions.
Community Health Centers :- In order to develop an effective referral system so as to provide specialist treatment facilities to the rural masses very close to their dwellings, the establishment of community health centers at least in block level . Existing PHCs in the first stage was taken up. There are 32 block level PHCs in the state and 116 community health centers are functional in the state. 38 CHC are functioning in govt. buildings, 10 267 buildings are under construction and there is a shortfall of 68 buildings. Efforts are being made to provide govt. buildings to these institution.
District Hospitals There are 16 district hospitals sanctioned but only 7 functioning as per norms. Another three have been completed last years and yet another three are to be completed this year – but three more would have to be completed in 2006-07. for the requirements to be met.
Manpower gaps in Facilities: In order to cater to the public health and medical needs of such geographically difficult tribal state the public sector in health has only 1852 doctors, 11,052 male/ female Paramedical staff and 1241 Technical staff available. The State is still lacking 1725 Doctors, 2239 Paramedical staff and 1425 Technical staff according to prescribed norms. This is a matter of great concern and it impedes the achievements of key goals.
NATIONAL RURAL HEALTH MISSION (NRHM)
This Mission is conceived as an umbrella programme subsuming the existing programmes of health and family welfare. Its goals now define as under :
a. a commitment to provide effective health care to the rural population with special focus on 18 states. b. A commitment to increase public spending on health from 0.9% of GDP to 2- 3% of GDP. c.

Under the scheme Rs. 90.00 has been proposed for collection, analysis of the samples collected and to fulfill the need of the laboratory. 301 WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION Urban Water Supply and Sanitation : Urban Water Supply and Sanitation have remained an important area of concern and in view of it, allocation of funds is being made from the First Five Year Plan. Despite a rapid increase in the Urban population during past 2 decades there was a gradual shift in the priority from Urban to Rural sector from the Sixth Plan onwards. This has resulted in gradual drop in level of facilities since then. The coverage by Sewerage facilities is not at all satisfactory. Sewerage system exists only in a limited number of towns. In these towns the facilities are partial and without adequate treatment. In the absence of a single regulatory authority, various executing agencies have worked on piece meal basis and this has further added to the downfall in proper and controlled provision of services to the public. Therefore efforts are to be taken to provide sewerage system in all the towns of state, starting with Municipal Corporations. Tenth Plan Objectives and strategies : The main objectives pertaining to the urban water supply and sanitation are: • Achieving Goal of “Health for all” • Expansion and improvement of drinking water to every settlement • Expansion and improvement of sanitation facility with other social infrastructure The above objective can only be achieved through appropriate mix of Central State investments. Institutional finance, strengthening of operation and maintenance system, and more importantly by the involvement of communities at various stages of planning, implementation, operation and maintenance. Since the availability of water in the country is going down with depletion of water table and less discharge in the problem of the rivers, a review of the requirements of the water is necessary. With the above thoughts in mind, the Govt. of India has changed the requirement levels of the rate of water supply to the individual and other users. The rate of water supply defined in the Manual on Water Supply and Treatment in May 1999 by 302 Govt. of India that is being followed by State Govt. are as under: * Towns having no sewerage facility : 70 Ipcd * Towns having sewerage facility : 135 Ipcd * Metropolitan and Mega cities : 150 Ipcd Policies and Norms: Norms for Providing Potable Water: While implementing the Rural Water Supply Schemes, the GOI norm of 40 litres per capita per day (Ipcd) i.e. one source per 250 persons has been adopted for providing drinking water to meet the following human requirements: Purpose Quantity (IPCD) Drinking 3 Cooking 5 Bathing 15 Washing utensils and house 7 Ablution 10 With normal output of 12 litres per minute, one hand pump or stand post (public tap) can provide for 250 persons. On the task of providing every habitation with safe and sustainable drinking water source @ one hand pump/source per 250 persons ( 40 LPCD) is completed in the entire state, the state Government may consider to relax the norm by adopting the modified (demand driven) approach whereby one hand pump or stand post may be provided per 150 persons with community contribution in capital cost sharing (10%) and bearing 100% Operation and Maintenance cost. Water Quality Surveillance The GOI has stressed to provide safe drinking water to each of the rural habitation. Earlier, attention was paid mainly towards coverage of habitations. During Ninth Five Year Plan, emphasis was laid on quality aspect also. So far 6390 habitations have been 303 identified as Quality Problem habitations (QPV or NSS). More and more habitations are falling within this category. The GOI has directed to adopt the “Catchment Area Approach” for effective monitoring and surveillance of water quality throughout the state. One water testing laboratory is to be established in each district with the state Public Health Engineering Departments (SPHEDs) so that regular monitoring of quality of drinking water at district level can be ensured. In this direction the laboratory buildings have been constructed in all 16 districts and other infrastructure facilities are to be provided alongwith posting of staff. Operation and Maintenance: Operation and Maintenance is critical importance for efficient functioning of any water supply system. It is envisaged that routine repair work, activities related to general operation and maintenance (O and M) will not be taken up, and only such activities/works would be taken up, which leads to increase in sustained yield and augmentation of the source. GOI has issued instructions to provide 15% of the funds released every year under the Plan allocation. The funds earmarked for operation and maintenance of asset is not to be permitted for creation of capital assets. Accordingly, it is proposed to utilize 15% of the allocated fund under state plan for O and M activities. Human Resources Development: A National Human Resource Development Programme (NHRDP) has been launched by the Mission from 1994 based on the Human Resource Development Policy Document evolved jointly by the central and state governments. The NHRDP, aims at training at least one grassroot level trainee in each revenue village through district level trainers. Under the NHRDP, state level HRD cell has been set up for planning, designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating an appropriate and need based HRD Programme. The HRD Programme aims at empowerment of Panchayati Raj Institutions/Local Bodies with the objective of enabling them to take up operation and maintenance activities related to rural water supply systems. It also aims at capacity building of local communities by giving requisite training to mechanics/health motivators/masons etc, especially women to operate and maintain hand pumps and the components of other water supply systems as well as to generate demand for adequate sanitation facilities. The Central Govt. will provide 100% assistance (except office 304 expenses) during the plan period for the above activities as per the cost norms approved by Mission. Management Information System : For effective planning, monitoring and implementation of various schemes under different programmes, Information Technology (IT) based Management Information System provides for the following : • Maintenance of micro level status of water supply to ensure planning and monitoring based on micro level data. • Assistance for computer facilities up to division level in phase to ensure latest technology for processing and storing data and its communication from one office to another through NICNET • Assistance for conducing training programmes and • Development of customized software for enabling states/Uts to fully utilize power of computer systems for planning, monitoring and implementation of various activities in the sector. The Public Health Engineering department is mainly responsible for providing whole-some, safe and potable drinking water in rural, urban and industrial areas. Simultaneously, the department, in urban and rural areas, is also carrying out sewerage and sanitation programmes. At present piped water supply schemes in rural areas are being maintained by Gram Panchayats while maintenance of urban water supply schemes is the responsibility of urban local bodies. The PHED is presently responsible for maintenance of hand pumps in rural areas. Under this programme, first phase of project to instal computer system upto division level has been completed, and further stages are in progress. Rural Sector : Under Minimum Needs programme, priority is given to supply of drinking water through hand pump in NC (not covered) and PC (partially covered) habitation and rural schools water supply arrangement in rural schools. During the year 2006-07 the remaining rural schools including schools sanctioned under ‘’Sarva Shikha Abhiyan ‘’ are proposed to be provided with drinking water supply arrangement. The balance number of school which need drinking water supply facilities 305 are 10,000. All the school are proposed to be covered by 2006-07 to achieve 100 percent coverage. Under Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP) sponsored by Government of India, for small villages where the sources have failed within the village, successful sources are to be investigated in nearby areas and water is to be supplied by providing power pumps and pipe lines normally through a cistern. These are called spot source schemes. Normally, piped water supply scheme has been provided in villages with a population of over 2000 persons, villages having lesser population are also considered for piped water supply scheme, if found necessary. The state of Chhattisgarh is having 19744 villages. As per the detailed survey in the year 1993-94 under Rajeev Gandhi Drinking Water Mission 54818 habitation were identified. Govt. of India had given target to cover all these habitation. Accordingly under this mission all the habitation were covered by 31.03.2004. Again in year 2003 Govt. of India issued direction to resurvey the habitations so as to identify newly cropped up habitations, slipped back to partially covered status from fully covered and quality affected habitations. According to the survey 72775 habitations were identified and category is shown below : NC 14471 habitation PC 12412 habitation FC 45192 habitation Total 72775 habitation Till 31-03-2005 2732 NC and 1023 PC had been covered, in the year 2005-06, targets of 6449 NC and 2900 PC has been kept. Thus in the year 2006-07, it is proposed to cover the balance 5390 NC 8489 PC. STATE SECTOR SCHEMES: Revised provision for state sector programme i.e. direction and administration, training, including training for handpump repairs and O&M of rural piped water supply Schemes, research and development, survey and investigation, and machinery and 306 equipment for rural sector : Rs. 1306.25 have been provided for 10th Plan 2002-2007 out of which for 2006-2007 Rs. 341.70 lakhs has been proposed Urban Water Supply For the year 2006-07 it is proposed to cover 18 No. Urban water supply schemes for which an provision has been made for Rs. 9025.00 lacs. The name of scheme is mentioned in the statement enclosed. Water supply arrangements in Rural Areas: As per agreed outlay of tenth five year plan (2002-2007) the details of various programmes and related activities are as under. A During the 10th plan total target of 29017 habitation out of which 15260 NC’s and 8200 nos. under sustainability head and 5557 PC’s have been fixed for coverage. For this achievement an amount of Rs. 58589.75 lakhs had been proposed in 10th Plan (2002-2007). Out of above proposed outlay for the year 2006-2007, 8400 habitation for Hand Pumps Scheme and 370 No. P.W.S.S./ Spot sources/ 10000 Schools and Rehabitation of 220 No. are proposed to be covered for which amount of Rs. 34336.80 Lacs has been provided . Equal matching share would be obtained from Government of India. B Technology Mission Technology Mission programme is taken by the Department with the aid of Government of India. Under this programme water supply schemes are taken in the area where sources are chemically contaminated. Sample survey of all the water sources will be done to find out the degree of contamination. The four districts mainly Baster,Dantewada,Kanker and Rajnandgaon are widely affected with excess iron flouride and arsenic in ground water as such alternative surface source based piped under supply schemes for more than 6000 habitations are proposed to be taken up , and for this detailed analysis of water source and detailed survey and investigation to find out proper surface source is necessary, Based on this detailed Project Report (DPR) will be prepared. The funds required for preparation of DPRs is Rs. 2200 lacs. G.O.I. as per names will allocate 50% of the fund and the remaining shall be borne by the State Govt. 307 PRIORTY 1. Priorty will be given to the sustainability of under ground water with support of water recharging practice. 2. Alternative sources will be created where existing sources are chemically contaminated. 3. There would be 100% testing of all created drinking water sources. 4. Rural sanitation. 5. Villages which have been identified as diarrhea prone will be covered with the sanitation facility on priority. Now total sanitation programme has been taken up. C Sustainability of Ground Water Sources State Government has taken up programme to recharge ground water for sustainability. Earlier funds from PMGY and ARWSP have been utilized for the same. State Govt. has planned to take up one project of water shed in each legislative constituencies in first phase. Department has invited major consultants to prepare detailed project report for such water sheds. The implementation of such projects will ensure the recharge of ground water so that it is available round the year in adequate quantity. State Govt. has made provision in the budget under State Sector Scheme. Up till now detailed project report for 167 water sheds for all the 90 legislative constituencies are ready and 40 project are sanctioned and works are under progress. For the year 2006 2007 in this head of account Rs. 15000.00 lakhs has been made for water quality control. Separate provision has also been made for providing water recharging programme in the state. The works of DPRs prepared on water shed basis are proposed to be executed under ARWSP funds and under State Plan also., on the basis of 50-50. Percent Share. Gaon Ganga Yojana: It is proposed to carry out the work during 2002-2007 under Gaon Ganga Yojana. For this Rs. 2752.00 lakhs have been provided in the Plan. Under Gaon Ganga yojana water supply programme for which Rs. 236.80 lakhs has proposed for year 2006-2007. To ascertain the proper use of ground water it is planned to rejuvenate the village pond taken under the gaon ganga yojana and make available the ground water for drinking purpose as well as for Nistar use and cattle needs. Training programme of hand pump repairing 308 It is proposed to carry out work of hand pump repairing training programme for which Rs. 150.00 Lacs has been provided for 2006-07 Installation of Computer During the year 2006-07 Rs. 28.00 Lacs are proposed to be provided the installation of Computer in the Rural area. Fair and Tourists Places Sanitation During the year 2006-07 Rs. 150.00 Lacs are proposed to Construction of toilets at the 10. no. approved State fair and 10 no. tourists places. SANITATION: There is a direct relationship between, sanitation and health. Individual Health and Hygiene is dependent largely on adequate availability of drinking water and proper sanitation. High infant mortality rate is also attributed largely to poor sanitation. In light of this Central Rural Sanitation Programme (CRSP) was launched in 1986 with the objective of improving the quality of life of the rural people and to provide privacy and dignity to women. The concept of sanitation under CRSP was initially limited only to disposal of human excreta. Under CRSP the emphasis was mainly on construction of sanitary latrines. The programme was totally supply driven, heavily subsidy oriented and lacked community participation. Due to this, the programme did not produce any significant change in the sanitation status of the state. In light of the above, improvements in the Central Rural Sanitation Programme were made and a comprehensive concept of sanitation was developed. In view of the fact that proper sanitation is important not only for the general health but it has a vital role to play in peoples individual and social life too, the concept of sanitation was, expanded to include personal hygiene, home sanitation, safe water, garbage disposal, excreta disposal and waste water disposal. In the year 1999, with the introduction of reform initiatives in the WATSAN An sector, CRSP moved towards a “demand driven” approach and the revised approach in the programme was titled “Total Sanitation compaign (TSC) which emphasized on 309 • Information, Education and Communication (IEC) • Capacity Development activities to increase awareness and demand generation for sanitary facilities, aiming at enhancement of people’s capacity to choose appropriate options through alternate delivery mechanisms with beneficiary participation to meet their demands. • Community leadership and people centered initiatives. • Providing separate urinals/toilets for boys and girls in all the schools in rural areas and to tap the potential of children as the most persuasive advocates of good sanitation practices in their own households and in schools Guidelines on Central Rural Sanitation Programme (Total Sanitation Campaign) were issued by the Department of Drinking Water Supply, Ministry of Rural Development, and GOI in 1999. These guidelines were revised in May 2002. As per the guidelines the main objectives of the TSC are: • Improvement in the general quality of life in the rural areas. • Accelerating sanitation coverage in rural Ares. • Generating felt demand for sanitation facilities through awareness creation and health education • Covering schools in rural areas with sanitations facilities and promoting safe hygiene practices/behavior among students. • Encouraging use of cost effective and appropriate technologies in sanitations • Endeavor to reduce the incidence of water and sanitation related disease. Total Sanitation Campaign adopts demand responsive, participatory and community led programme along with campaign strategy on project mode. Implementation of the TSC projects is based on adoption of simple user friendly and affordable technology with nominal subsidy (Now phrased as incentive). The salient features of the Total Sanitation Campaign Project under the Central Rural Sanitation Programme are as follows: The strategy is to make the programme community led and people centered. A demand driven approach is to be adopted with increased stress on awareness creation and demand generation from the people for sanitary facilities in household, schools, Anganwadi, Community and for cleaner environment. 310 Implementation : The physical implementation gets oriented towards satisfying the felt needs wherein individual beneficiaries choose from a variety of options for their household latrines. Components : The programme components are as follows : • Start up Activities : The start up activities comprises conducting baseline survey and KAP ( knowledge, Aptitude, Practice) studies • IEC activities : IEC activity intends to create the awareness and generate demand/felt need for sanitary facilities in the rural areas for Households, Schools, Anganwadi and Balwadies and Women Complexes. • Rural Sanitary Marts (RSM) and Production Centers (PCs) : The main aim of having a RSM is to provide materials and guidance needed for construction of different types of latrines and other sanitary facilities, which are technologically improve the production of cost effective affordable sanitary materials. • Individual Household Latrines : A duly completed household latrine shall comprise oof a basic Low Cost Unit (without the super structure). In the first phase, the programme is aimed to cover all the Below Poverty Line (BPL) families. • Women Sanitary Complex : Village Sanitary Complex for Women should be set up in a place in village acceptable and accessible to women. The Gram Panchayat users and Self Help Groups should own and maintain these units. • School Sanitation : Keeping in mind the receptiveness of children to new ideas, schools are intended to be used for changing the behavior, mindset and habits of children from open defecation to the use of lavatory through motivation and education. The experience gained by children through use of toilets in school and sanitation education imparted by teachers would reach home and influence parents to adopt good sanitary habits. Under school sanitation, Toilets in Govt. are to be constructed and students educated to use the facilities. 311 Rural Sanitation Programme : At present rural sanitation programme has been taken up under Total sanitation programme. The projects for 10 districts namely- Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Mahasamund,Dantewada Korba, Janjgir-Champa, Kanker & Dhamtari have been sanctioned. Under TSC the different activities are i Construction of individual homes hold Latrines for BPL families Under the programme state govt. has taken decision to construct individual homes hold toilet (IHHL) with super structure, the total cost of toilet is fixed at Rs. 3600 / per unit, the unit cost fixed by G.O.I. is Rs. 625/- and G.O.I. grant is Rs. 375/- the remaining cost for super structure at Rs. 3037.50/- per unit shall be borne by State Govt. Panchayat and rural development Department and from PHED budget Rs. 125/- and beneficiary share contribute Rs. 62.50 by way of labour work. The annual target fixed in 2,50,000 for IHHL for BPL families SC/ST BPL families to be covered shall be 75% of the annual target. A trival programme of Rs. 8842.50 lacs for 2006-07 in month ii School and Anganwadi Toilet ‘’ All rural Govt. schools including schools sanctioned under ‘’ Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan’’ are proposed be covered during the year with sanitary complexes. The number of schools to be covered shall be 33636. The average cost of such complexes for Govt. School shall be Rs. 30,000/-, G.O.I. and state share is 60:40 Similary all sanctioned Anganwadi's yet to be covered under sanitation Programme are proposed to be taken up during the year, such anganwadi are 15624. The out is Rs. 5000/- G.O.I. shall be 60% cost and rest by state Govt. For the year 2006-07 programme of Rs. 3094.50 lacs for school sanitation and Rs. 81.20 lacs for Anganbadi toilet to is need . Therefore this year share of 90% from Central and 10% from State is proposed to be got released. Urban Sanitation : So. for, urban sanitation is concerned nothing much has been done so far. Only Raipur and Bilaspur city have been provided with sewerage projects which cover the towns partially. Local Municipal Corporation are yet to make full use of the projects. Department is persuading local Municipalities for agreeing to more projects. It is hoped in 312 future more sanitation projects will be prepared as per demand. Local self Govt. is being approached to take interest in getting sewerage schemes to be proposed and implemented, which in the long term have all good overall invioromental effect in the town. A programme of Rs. 600.00 for 2006-07 for the scheme has been made Urban Water Supply Scheme: At the time of birth of Chhattisgarh there were 75 towns in this state. In last few years Govt. has declared more urban clusters as towns, making a total of 110. Water supply schemes to urban towns are taken up under state programme and under accelerated urban water supply programe. Under AUWSP schemes are taken for the town less than 20000 population. The funding pattern is 50% Govt. of India, 45% State Govt. and 5% Public contribution. Under this programe 41 scheme are cleared by GOI and 39 schemes are administratively approved. Out of these, 15 schemes are completed and it is proposed to complete another 16 schemes in 2006-2007. Apart from AUWSP, 09 urban schemes for 9 towns are under progress under state sector. It is proposed to complete 16 No. schemes in 2006-2007. It is also to mention that schemes for other towns will be prepared as per demand of respective local body. For which Rs. 1500.00 Lacs has been provided. Testing of 100% Drinking Water Sources: For 10th Plan 2002-2007 ascertaining drinking water quality, 10 labs have been established and 6 new labs for which building exists are in the process of being commissioned. The provision for office expenses, salary and allowances, and machinery and equipment has been made amounting ti Rs. 86.00 lakhs. Provision for 6 new labs is provided for which an amount of Rs. 48.00 lakhs has been proposed for salary building, machinery and equipment for the year 2006-07 The testing of water samples of 100% existing drinking water sources is proposed in the coming years. It is essential for the Public Health to identify and manage alternate water supply arrangement. 313 URBAN HOUSING The Constitution (Seventy-Fourth) Amendment Act, 1992, aimed at decentralization and creation of a democratic governance structure at the local level. Its objective was to redefine the relationship between the states and the municipal bodies, in order to firmly establish elected ULBs as the institution of self-government. (Article 243W). The states have carried out the required amendments to the municipal laws and elections have been held under the supervision of State Election Commission. The objective of political decentralization has been accomplished to a substantial degree but the existing institutional framework for urban planning has not been realigned in accordance with the provisions of the Seventy-Fourth Amendment. However, Chhattisgarh, has developed all these functions. District Planning Committees are yet to be established. Functional and financial autonomy of ULBs is in the process of decentralisation. State Housing Policy : The housing policy of the state is in line with the National Housing and Habitat Policy as well as the Global shelter adopted by the United Nations, in November, 1998. The underlying theme of the policy is, for the Government to adopt an enabling strategy to act as a facilitator with complementary roles assigned to the public/private sector and to the community at large. The aim of this housing policy is to ensure dwellings with necessary support infrastructure for all its citizens in the next ten years. The specific objectives of this housing policy are : • Shelters to be provided to all homeless rural families on subsidized rates on priority basis. • Assist all the citizens of Chhattisagarh and in particular the rural poor to, secure for themselves affordable dwellings. • Remove legal and administrative barriers for robust housing activities in the State. • Mobilize resources and ensure increased investments in housing by promoting strong partnerships among public, private, co- operative, self-help groups and local government institutions. • Promote integrated housing development for the establishment of viable, socially and economically integrated communities situated in areas which allow convenient 314 access to economic opportunities as well as health, educational and social facilities. Housing Scenario In The State: There are 6,60,136 Houses in the urban area of the state. Out of this around 23993 No. of houses are not worth living. There are around 3, 69, 676 houses which belong to lower income group. Housing for economically weaker section (EWS):- Chhattisgarh is one of the few states where 15% of the land has been reserved for economically weaker section of the society in any layout of a colony. This land is used for implementing housing schemes for EWS. There are housing schemes for poor and economically weaker section of the society. Atal Awas Yojna : Influx of people from rural areas to urban areas in search of employment is an ongoing phenomenon and, if no remedial measures are taken in the direction of providing dwelling for such homeless labour and poor people, all the efforts of slum up-gradation would be in vain and in all probability, new slum will come into existence. With this view the State Government has started state sponsored Housing Schemes namely “Atal Awas Yojna” in the State under the Tenth Plan. The objectives of the “Atal Awas Yojna” are as follows: (i) Catering the future housing demand of the people below poverty line belonging to Schedule Castes, Schedule Tribes and other economically weaker sections of society.

These are further grouped as 79 World Bank Assisted ICDS-III and 73 ICDS General Projects. In 152 ICDS Projects of the State 20289 Anganwadi Centers are sanctioned and operational. Objectives The Main objectives of ICDS programmes are: Improve the nutritional and health status of children below the age of 6 years. Lay the foundation for proper psychological, physical and social development of child. Reduce the incidence of mortality, morbidity, malnutrition and school dropouts. Achieve effective coordination of policy and implementation among various departments to promote child development. Enhance the capability of the mothers to look after the health and nutritional needs of the child, through proper health and nutrition education and Care of essential needs of pregnant women and lactating mothers belonging to weaker sections of the Society. ICDS World Bank Project Out of total sanctioned 152 ICDS projects, 79 projects are World Bank Assisted. Under these 79 World Bank Assisted ICDS Projects 9549 Anganwadi Centers are sanctioned and operational. At present State is availing the assistance under ICDS-III Project. Nearly 7.19 lakhs children of 0-6 years and 1.99 lakhs pregnant and lactating mothers are benefited (Mar'05) by the services of Anganwadi Centers. ICDS Non-World Bank Project Out of total sanctioned 152 ICDS projects, 73 projects are NWB ICDS Projects. Under these 73 ICDS Projects 10740 Anganwadi Centers are sanctioned and operational. 341 Through these centers nearly 6.98 lakhs children of 0-6 years and 1.79 lakhs pregnant and lactating mothers are benefited (Mar'05) by its services. Construction of Anganwadi Building Across the Nation, one of the bottlenecks in the smooth and regular delivery of ICDS services is the availability of building to run Anganwadi Center. Understanding this fact, strong initiatives were taken, pooling the fund from various resources viz. World Bank, NABARD, State Budget etc. Concomitantly, today we find having received the sanction for the construction of 11494 Anganwadi Center Buildings out of total sanctioned 20289 Anganwadi Centers in the State, of which 8211 Anganwadi Center Building have been constructed. By this, in time to come we shall be having more then 50% of Anganwadi Centers, being run in its own building. Sanction of Additional Aganwadi Centers In the year 2005-06, State has received sanction of 6 new ICDS projects with 599 AWCs and sanction of 8549 additional AWCs in 148 old projects from GOI. Necessary action shall be taken to operationalize new projects and start additional AWCs. ICDS Training Programme Adhering to the philosophy of UDISHA, responsive and innovative training programmes were designed by the State under the head Other Trainings. State training team underwent an in-depth analysis and evaluation of State specific needs and accordingly selected the subjects, which were found to be crucial and capable of achieving the objective of ICDS scheme. To check the rampant malnourishment, encourage and promote community involvement, generate health and nutritional awareness, below mentioned training have been successfully organized at the project level. The focus of these trainings was Anganwadi Workers, who are frontline functionary in delivery the 6 services of ICDS scheme. 1. Training to AWWs on Malnourishment and Growth Monitoring. 2. Training to AWWs to deal with Pregnant/Lactating and At-risk mother. 3. Training to AWWs on Early Detection and Early Intervention of Childhood Disabilities. 342 4. Training to AWWs on Village Mapping and Community Growth Monitoring. In the first phase, the above trainings were organized in 6 districts in the year 2002-03. After receiving an encouraging feed back/response, we have organized the above trainings in the remaining 10 districts in the year 2004-05. There after, we plan to go for follow up course of the same trainings, thus ensuring a complete and successful coverage in the year 2005-06. Endeavour undertaken: With the constitution of the state, it has taken all the necessary steps to build-up a supportive social structure and to derive maximum advantage from the network of ICDS machinery in a planned way. One of the exemplary examples of community participation in our State is Bal-Bhoj. Undoubtedly Bal-Bhoj can be proclaimed as Chhattisgarh Model of Community Participation. Women SHGs are formed in AWCs. They collect hand full of rice, fruits and other varieties of eatable from various families, pool them and organize Bal Bhojan for children. Bal Bhojan arrangements vary from week to fortnight and a month in different villages. This arrangement is managed and controlled by the members of SHGs. The food so served is nutritious, delicious. Bal Bhojan so arranged also ensures better supervision of the ICDS Nutrition programme. The representatives of PRIs i.e. Gram Panchyat are now seen actively participating and coming forward encouraging this practice in nearby village too. The "Bal-Bhoj Day" is arranged on such day that, health and other related activities could get merge/converge on the same day. Thus on the day of Bal-Bhoj, on the one hand, we can see community proactively involving and serving nutritious food to the children and on the other hand, we find Anganwadi Worker engaged in weighing the children, pregnant and lactating mothers with the active participation of the member of SHGs, (growth monitoring). This apart, on the same day, we can find ANM/LHV doing Immunization in the Anganwadi Center. Thus, it goes without saying, that Bal-Bhoj per-se has turned AWCs as "Convergence Point", whereon, the same day and same point services of various departments and involvement of community go hand in hand. Public celebrate Bal Bhojan programme with a sense of spiritual involvement. Now such Bal Bhojan programme are spreading fast into all parts of the State and there is even competition among villages. 343 Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS): Empirical Studies have shown that, the best way to monitor any service is, to let it be monitored by the community it self. For this, necessary tools are required to be developed in local perspective (i.e. taking into account social infrastructure, cultural milieu and mental/physical status of the respondent). The tool so developed is translated to the field for necessary feedback and response. When the community is using the tool so developed we dub it as CBMS. Self-Monitoring Tool (SMT) : Self Monitoring Tools are one of the best practices, being created, managed and monitored at the individual level. With almost each area having its unique set of monitoring tools or wall-paintings (sakhi-saheli kalash, suraj-mukhi, chand-suraj, tulsi chaura), with this women are able to monitor the intake of Iron Folic Acid Tablets, ANC, Immunization, Exclusive and Early Breast Feeding as well as Immunization for the child. These tools have helped in having the beneficiaries and the family members understand the importance of the interventions in a more practical manner. Recourse mapping is replication of 04 Best Practices developed by CARE under INHP Projects Resource Mapping : This technique is found to be one of the most useful tools, in identifying malnourished and uncovered beneficiaries. One day training was especially organized at the project level to get a clear picture of the village (Village Level Resource Mapping) and subsequently of the entire block (Block Level Resource Mapping). After VLRM/BLRM the scenario gets clear for not only supervisors and project officers but also for the district officers who used the compiled information for the entire district (District Level Resource Mapping). Similarly various trainings organized on growth monitoring, pregnant and lactating mother and to identify childhood disabilities are now gradually producing positive results in the field. 344 Achievement of 2004-05- ICDS S.No Particular Target Achieve Remark ment 1. 73 ICDS Non-World Bank 10740 10740 All the Anganwadi Projects centers were 2. 79 ICDS World Bank Projects 9549 9549 operational in the year 2004-05. 3. ICDS Supervision 16 16 All the 16 district cells were functional in the year 2004-05 4. ICDS Training 11 11 Utilization of optimum training capacity of 10 Anganwadi Training centre and 1 MLTC was ensured in the year 2004-05 5. Sanchar Ranniti 79 79 Awareness programme was conducted in all the 79 WB assisted ICDS projects. Target of 2005-06 (ICDS) Our first target is to ensure that the above-achieved targets of the year 2004-05 are again successfully attempted in the year 2005-06. In the year 2004-05, 1 State Resource-cum-Training Centre and 2 Regional Resource-cum-Training Centre were sanctioned for the training and capacity building of the departmental officers / employees. The target for the year 2005-06 is to start these sanctioned training centres in the year 2005-06. In this era of IT, to ensure electronic transmission of data and its subsequent analysis, we plan to link up the entire district / block offices with the state headquarter developing a special software package. Here we plan to emphasize on introduction of GIS system in the departmental functioning. Proposal for 2006-07 (ICDS) 1- Level of malnourishment amongst children and pregnant and lactating mothers of the state is higher. More than 50% of the children of the age group 0-6 year are malnourished and likewise level of malnourishment amongst pregnant and lactating 345 mother and adolescent girls is also quite high. To check the same special project has to be launched targeting group specific. At the state level we do not have any budget to implement such project. Here we propose sum of Rs.3.00 crore to launch a project for a period of 3 years and then to go for impact analysis of the same through some external agencies. This will help the state not only to combat prevailing malnourishment and analyse the work done but will also help in inviting fund from GOI to join the kitty. 2. In the quality delivery of 6 services of ICDS, role of constructed Anganwadi centre building is very important. Reason being that these constructed AWC buildings not only serve as centre for distribution of supplementary nutrition but also serve as focal point for delivery of health related services like immunization, health check-up etc. Understanding the same we propose approval for the construction of 1000 AWC buildings. BALIKA SAMRIDDHI YOJANA With the objective to bring positive change in the viewpoint of society towards girl child and mother, to bring down the rate of drop outs especially prevalent amongst girl child and to regularize their studies and to encourage the attitude of marriage of a girl in the right age, there is provision of making fixed deposit of Rs.500/- in the name of first two girl child of the family living below poverty line.
