CHANDRESH KUMARI 10 March, 2011 CHAIRPERSON 19 Phalguna 1932 (Saka) COMMITTEE ON EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN 6 CHAPTER I REPORT This Report of the Committee deals with the action taken by the Government on the recommendations contained in the Third Report (Fifteenth Lok Sabha) of the Committee on Empowerment of Women on the subject „Empowerment of Women through Panchayati Raj Institutions‟. The Third Report of the Committee was presented to Lok Sabha on 4th May, 2010. The report was simultaneously laid in Rajya Sabha. 2. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj were, thereafter, requested to furnish action taken replies on the recommendations contained in the Report. Replies of the Government in respect of all the 16 recommendations/observations have since been received and are categorized as under:- i) Observations/Recommendations which have been accepted by the Government. Recommendation Para Nos:-70, 73, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 83 and 84. (Total-11) ii) Observations/Recommendations which the Committee do not desire to pursue in view of the replies of the Government. Nil. iii) Observations/Recommendations in respect of which replies of the Government have not been accepted by the Committee and which require reiteration. Recommendation Para Nos:- 71, 72 and 82 (Total-3) iv) Observations/Recommendations in respect of which the Government have furnished interim replies. Recommendation Para Nos:- 75, 85 (Total-2) 7 3. The Committee trust that utmost importance would be given by the Government to the implementation of their recommendations. In case where it is not possible for the Government to implement the recommendations in letter and spirit for any reason, the matter should be reported to the Committee with reasons for non-implementation. The Committee further desire that the Action Taken Notes on the recommendations/observations contained in Chapter- I of this Report should be furnished by the Government expeditiously. 4. The Committee will now deal with those action taken replies of the Government which need reiteration or merit comments. A. Data base on the socio-economic profile of Elected Women Representatives of PRIs (Recommendation Para No. 71) 5. The Committee had observed that ever since the advent of Panchayati Raj system in the country, three rounds of elections had been conducted in most of the States. However, a proper compilation of the data pertaining to the socio- economic profile of the Elected Women Representatives (EWRs) had not been done by many States. Most of the States had compiled only the data pertaining to the number and percentage of EWRs and their SC&ST bifurcation. However, the Committee had found that the Ministry of Panchayati Raj had got a nation wide survey carried out by the well-known firm AC Nielsen-ORG Marg which covered 23 States, 114 Districts, and 228 Blocks and 1368 Gram Panchayats (out of which 907 were women headed Gram Panchayats). Although a rough picture regarding the status of women could be drawn from such a survey, the exact and comprehensive data on age, education, primary occupation, economic category, etc. of EWRs all over the country was not available with the Government. Even the data on women multi-termers could not be provided by many States. As no survey findings could substitute a complete database, States should generate a complete data bank on the socio-economic profile of elected representatives of PRIs, especially women. The Committee, therefore, 8 had recommended that the Ministry of Panchayati Raj should impress upon the State Election Commissions to prepare a comprehensive/complete data bank on the socio-economic profile of elected representatives of PRIs at the earliest under intimation to the Committee. 6. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj, in its action taken reply on the aforementioned recommendation has, inter-alia, stated as under:- “All the States/ UTs were requested to provide the socio economic profile of elected representatives of PRIs. As on date, information has been received from the States of Sikkim, Rajasthan and Lakshadweep only.” Comments of the Committee 7. In view of the absence of a complete database on the socio-economic profile of elected representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions, especially that of women, the Committee had recommended that the Ministry of Panchayati Raj should impress upon the State Election Commissions to prepare a comprehensive data bank on the same at the earliest under intimation to the Committee. However, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj in their Action Taken Reply has submitted that though all the States/ UTs had been requested to provide the socio economic profile of elected representatives of PRIs, so far only the States of Sikkim, Rajasthan and Lakshadweep have provided the information. In this connection, the Committee strongly feel that the exact and comprehensive data on age, education, primary occupation, economic category, etc. of elected representatives of the PRIs in the country would be a valuable document in itself. The Committee, therefore, reiterate that the Ministry of Panchayati Raj should make concrete efforts in facilitating the preparation of a comprehensive data bank regarding the socio-economic profile of elected representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions by constantly
