FOREWORD

The Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, Government of had launched pilot study on Basic Statistics for Local Level Development (BSLLD). The objective of this scheme is to prepare a database containing the information on all sectors like demography, land utilization, education, health, road connectivity and basic amenities with regard to each revenue village. Such information has become increasingly essential for preparation of village plan at micro level and taluka centric planning for development. In the State of Maharashtra, was selected on second phase pilot basis for this study.

The preparation of district plan has been made mandatory in the wake of 73rd constitutional amendment. Accordingly, the plans prepared by Panchayat Raj Institutions and Municipalities in the District are consolidated to form District plans. Hence, it is prerequisite to have the comprehensive data on all key parameters to prepare the revenue village plan with holistic approach.

The data collection work of Basic Statistics for Local Level Development was conducted by District Statistical Office, Akola. The requisite data was collected from talathi, gramsevak, sarpanch, anganwadi worker, knowledgeable people, etc. The efforts made by District Statistical Officer & his staff in conducting the survey and feeding the data in to software are appreciable.

I hope this survey would be a sound initiative towards achieving the targeted goal of effective need based decentralised planning.

BASIC STATISTICS FOR LOCAL LEVEL DEVELOPMENT (BSLLD)

INTRODUCTION

The 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments mandated the empowerment of

Panchayat Raj Institutions and local bodies according constitutional status to these institutions and enabling them to take up their development process themselves. A number of schemes are being implemented by various departments for the socio- economic development of rural areas. However, the requisite data to assess the development and thrust areas at the local level is not available adequately & timely. The formulation of plans/ schemes without assessing the relevant qualitative data has not been effective in equitable allocation of resources in the past. As a result, local needs and priorities could not be appropriately reflected in the state plans and therefore, these plans could not form effective tool in the equitable spread of socio economic development in the rural areas. The National Statistical System must assist the various development agencies in this challenging task. The recent advances in information technology in compilation, storage and analysis of statistical data should be fully exploited for development at local levels. In view of the above, the National Statistical

Commission recommended preparing a database on local level by regular flow of data from the grass root level to ensure the development at micro level.

15 PILOT STUDY ON LOCAL LEVEL DEVELOPMENT

In accordance with the recommendation of National Statistical Commission, the Central Statistical Office, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, GoI decided to carry out a pilot study in the country to collect the basic statistics on the local level development. The objective of this scheme is development of village level database on population, demography, employment, village facilities, migration etc., which may be used as input for micro-level planning for villages and panchayats to facilitate formulation of local level development plans. The Gramsevak compiled village level data in co-ordination with the village level functionaries such as Talathi, Sarpanch, Anganwadi worker, ASHA worker, school teacher, village level knowledgeable persons, etc. The Directorate of Economics and Statistics of Maharashtra state was over all in-charge for co-ordination and maintenances of quality of the compiled data. The Scheme is being implemented as a Central Scheme on a pilot basis in all States covering one/ two districts in each state. In Maharashtra state, one district, namely Akola has been selected for the pilot study. Akola is one of the leading districts of Maharashtra State. The state has made tremendous progress in each sector since its formation. The State has per capita income of Rs. 1,03,991/- during the year 2012-13. It has become role model for other States of the country. The district of Akola has been selected on second phase Pilot Project for Basic Statistics for Local Level Development.

Methodology

The specific schedules, designed by the High Power Expert Committee constituted by GoI, were supplied to all the field level functionaries and the necessary training was also provided to them. There are two types of Schedules for compilation of information at village level. Schedule A is a periodic data set for which data was to be collected once in a year. The data was collected for the reference year 2012-13. This includes data on population (both for age group and social group), total number of households, number of households headed by women, data on morbidity and disability, number of literate persons, data on enrolment and drop out, land utilisation in the village, number of market outlets, etc.

16 Schedule B is dynamic in nature and data was to be collected on monthly basis. The data was collected for the months of April-2012 to March-2013. This includes number of live births, still births and deaths, number of deaths of women, number of pregnant women, data on migration, total number of Indoor & outdoor-patients and their details, total number of marriages, number of street children, sex workers, beggars, incidence of violence against women, number of small-scale enterprises and workers therein, etc. Training Programme for BSLLD

Training was organised at District level for the Gramsevaks along with the taluka heads of the line departments like Tahsildar, Block Development Officer, Police Officer, Education Officer, Agriculture Officer, Assistant Registrar, Development officers (Statistics, Industry), Asha Gat Pravartak, Project Officer, Animal Husbandry Officer, Primary Education Kendra Pramukh, etc. The field work for this survey was carried out by Gramsevak in each Block. Further the field operations were supervised by the officials of Taluka Panchayat Offices and District Statistical Office. The Taluka Development Officers & District Statistical Officer were actively involved in supervision of the field work and overall co-ordination.

It was observed that almost all the information is available with village level field functionaries like Anganwadi Workers. ANM, Panchayat Secretary, Talathi, School teachers etc. Anganwadi Workers maintain register of complete record of the each household within their jurisdiction. Gramsevak visited each household and collected the data in the month of April-12 to March-13.

As regards the information on education sector, the source of information is school situated in the village. Information on health has been collected from PHC/SC existing in the village. In case more than one village is covered by a PHC/SC, the data 17 maintained by PHC/SC was scrutinized and sorted out for each village. The live stock census is conducted once in 5 years in the State, therefore, this data is available for last census held in the year 2007. Regarding morbidity data, the information has been collected from knowledgeable persons like Sarpanch etc. The information on land utilisation has been taken from Talathi.

34 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY The information maintained by Anganwadi Workers was found more reliable as it is collected for each household. But it has not been complied by them as per the requirement of Basic Statistics for Local Level Development (BSLLD) Village Schedule (A&B), as there is no regular flow of such data from bottom upwards. Therefore, special compilation is required for generating data as per Basic Statistics for Local Level Development (BSLLD) Village Schedule (A&B), like age group wise, social group wise etc. Information on Education has been collected from School Teacher’s. Information on health has been collected from PHC/SC existing in the village. In case more than one village is covered by each PHC/SC, the data maintained by PHC/SC has to be scrutinized and sorted out for each village as it is not being maintained separately for each village. Besides many villagers do not visit PHC/ SC but they get treatment from the hospitals situated outside the village, therefore, no records for such patients are available at village level. It is difficult to get live stock population annually as live stock census is conducted once in five years in the State and further no updation is made regularly. Regarding morbidity, data is available at village level. This information has been collected from knowledgeable persons like Sarpanch. No specific record is available regarding Employment & Unemployment, Total No. of Marriages, Migration, other social indicators like street children/beggars etc. It is based on the assumption of some knowledgeable persons and it could not be cross checked.

SUGGESTIONS REGARDING STUDY A) Gramsevak had to collect the basic data from other field functionaries such as Talati, Anganwadi Workers, ANM, School Teachers, Sarpanch, Knowledgeable Persons, etc. It is very difficult for him to collect data along with his routine work. It would be better to collect data directly from other field functionaries on payment of honorarium. B) As these surveys are conducted on regular basis, therefore, DES should be strengthened. About 2-3 officials of DES should be deputed at block level exclusively for this survey to facilitate the special compilation and generation of data as per BSLLD’s village schedules (A&B). These officials would be able to compile the data at their own level in a better way with necessary infrastructure.
