AHMEDABAD VISION

“Sankalp se Siddhi”

(New Movement 2017-22)

1

“Sankalp se Siddhi -Achievement through Resolve” is the mantra to make 2017 the year of resolve wherein we as individuals, community and organisation are striving to build a New India by 2022, by developing a Resolution document through participative and collaborative approach involving multiple stakeholders like District administration, agencies, NGO‟s, students, universities, academia, private entities, print media, social media, netizens, and larger community while youth being at the forefront of triggering activity. This document aims at analysing the current status of district in terms of various developmental parameters and strives to accomplish ambitious goals in the next five years by 2022 so as to produce markedly visible and quantifiable outcomes.

End objective is to catalyse a mass movement at the grass roots level to create a New India, taking inspiration from the phase between Quit India Movement in 1942 and Indian Independence in 1947 when youth across the country had successfully carried the movement forward and assumed a leadership role.

Collectors, being the representatives and change agents in their districts, are to envision where they want to see their districts in 2022, what deficiencies must be overcome, and what services must definitely be ensured in these 5 years. With this collective vision and efforts directed towards realising this dream, improvement in the socio-economic conditions especially in the 100 most backward districts and relatively laggard sectors in other districts, would give a big boost to the overall developmental parameters of the country.

Real change in social sectors can only come through public participation as they are intrinsically linked with Social and human behavioural change. For e.g. success in initiatives like „Swachh Bharat Abhiyan‟ and „Beti Bachao Beti Padhao‟ is dependent upon a responsive administration and social awareness among people about these issues.

Collector has taken initiatives to make people aware about the benefits of various schemes and about the New India Movement through social media by actively engaging people in two way communication. Suggestions and inputs were invited though email id and open source platform like Twitter and Facebook so as to enhance public involvement and participation. Suggestions across wide spectrum of issues like regarding office management, e-services, grievance redressal, water logging, roads maintenance, drinking water availability, garbage disposal, , health, environment, plastic removal, vehicular pollution, traffic rules implementation etc. have been received and incorporated into the Vision document.

As the goal of governance is to improve the lives of the poorest of the poor, our endeavour here in Ahmedabad would be to strive hard and exhort all the stakeholders to be partners in achieving the resolutions and reach new heights of collaborative achievement and take the country forward on the path of socio-economic development, so we live the dream of becoming a cohesive and inclusive society which is free of ills of poverty, malnutrition, dirt, pollution, crime, corruption, terrorism, Casteism, communalism etc. 2

DISTRICT PROFILE

Ahmedabad district is the eighth most populous district in India. It is surrounded by and districts to the north, and Anand districts to the east, the (Gulf of Cambay), and districts to the south, and to the west. Its headquarters is the city of Ahmedabad. Nine talukas of the District include 474 villages, 1 deserted village, 1 corporation, 1 cantonment area and 7 municipalities. According to the 2011 census, has a population of 7,045,314. The district has a population density of 983 inhabitants per square kilometre. Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 22.31%. Ahmedabad has a sex ratio of 903 females for every 1000 males, and a literacy rate of 86.65%. Due to increased economic expansion and modernization, Ahmedabad, especially the urban areas have become a prominent centre of education, information technology and scientific industries. Ahmedabad city remains the cultural and commercial heart of , and much of . Since 2000, the city has been transformed through the construction of skyscrapers, shopping malls and multiplexes. The BRTS and the River Front development project have also been added.

District of Ahmedabad has experienced growth in last decade by an efficient collaboration of civic administration, public-private partnerships, high levels of capital investment and rapid infrastructural development.

Population & Demography Ahmedabad district is the most urban and populous district in the state of Gujarat. Population-wise, the district is ranked 8th in India out of the total 640 districts in the country (Census, 2011). 84.04% of the population lived in urban areas and 15.96% population lived in rural areas. Overall, there has been 30.1% increase in the urban population in the district over a decade. The sex ratio at birth has increased from 892 in 2001 to 904 in 2011. It is important to note that though the sex ratio of the district has risen over the last decade, all other districts in the state (except ), have performed better than Ahmedabad district in 2011 in terms of improved sex-ratios. These suggest a distinct “daughter deficit” in the population of the district and perhaps a deep-seated culture of son preference. Ahmedabad district is diverse in terms of social groups- caste and religious categories. By the latest census (2011), about 83.76% of the population are and 12.24% of the population are Muslims in Ahmedabad district. Other religious communities like Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains account for 0.7%, 0.2%, 0.06% and 2.9% of the population respectively. About 0.03% of the population in the district belongs to other religions and persuasions. Scheduled Caste (SC) population in Ahmedabad district has been reported to be 10.5% of the total district population while the Scheduled Tribe (ST) population in Ahmedabad district accounts for 1.2% of the total district population (Census, 2011).

Education The district of Ahmedabad has been an important locus for higher education opportunities in the state of Gujarat even prior to India‟s independence. Contemporary Ahmedabad city retains this convention and boasts of several prestigious public and private universities, colleges, and research institutes of national importance. Not surprisingly, data shows that literacy rate of Ahmedabad district (85.37%) is the highest in the state and surpasses the national average by 10% (Census 2011). However, gender and regional disparities in education outcomes persist. For example, female literacy is close to 80% and the gender gap has reduced from 16.48% to 11.39 % between 2001 and 2011. However, gender gap in rural areas remains high at 24.45 %. Rural-urban gap in 2011 was 16.88%, showing a decline of 4% from 2001. Ahmedabad city has the highest literacy of 88.29%. Talukas closer to Ahmedabad city such as Daskroi, and have high literacy; whereas those farther at the southern end have literacy rate of about 70%. Similar trends are observed in female literacy too. Schooling access has increased over time with enrolment figures in primary school reaching near 100%. Government schools in the district, however, seem to have not caught up with this growth. The number of government schools has declined from 1501 in 2009-10 to about 1364 in 2014-15. In the same period, the number of private schools has increased steadily with almost 50% rise in schools from 847 to 1472. English as a medium of instruction and perception that private schools are better performing than government are cited as the main reasons for shift to private schools. Secondary school enrolment especially for girls is far from satisfactory. In Ahmedabad rural areas, government secondary schools were started from 2005. In 2014-14 there were totally 20 government and RMSA secondary schools, and five government higher secondary schools in Ahmedabad rural areas. Enrolment in these government secondary schools (rural) was 1530 in 2014. Granted secondary schools dominate the rural areas, with more than 90,000 enrolment in secondary schools and 57,000 in higher secondary schools.

The Gender Parity Index for primary education seems to have settled down around 0.85; much of the gap can be explained by skewed sex ratio in the 5-14 age groups. Net enrolment in primary schools is about 82%, while in upper primary it drops to 64%. There is far more convergence between the first grade and VIIth grade enrolment in 2013 than 2005. Dropout rates have been reduced to 2% in primary and 2.5% in upper primary, but gender differences persist with girls dropping out at twice the rate than boys in upper primary. Gender parity varies from 0.46 to 0.59 in secondary schools and 0.23 to 0.51 in higher secondary schools in Ahmedabad rural talukas. High dropout rates of girls in secondary schools in rural areas need to be addressed with priority.

More and more schools are complying with the RTE norms on school infrastructure, qualification of teachers and pupil-teacher ratio. Nearly all schools in Ahmedabad district have drinking water, electricity and compound wall. While school infrastructure and overall enrolment-based education indicators seem favourable in the district of Ahmedabad, there are growing concerns about the lack of education equity and poor learning outcomes of children. ASER survey has pointed out continued fall in learning levels in both reading and 5

arithmetic since 2010. Government‟s own Gunotsav program which assesses schools on multiple parameters including student learning, shows drop in both number and percentage of schools with A and A+ grades. This is a critical issue which calls for collective efforts from administrators, school authorities, teachers and SMCs to ensure improved learning outcomes among children in the district. Many initiatives have been taken by state government to increase enrolment (e.g. Shala Praveshotsav), to prevent dropouts of girls in primary schools (e.g. Kanya Kelavani); assess the quality of schools and students (e.g. Gunotsav). Innovative programs to make learning fun using activity based learning (e.g. Pragna Classrooms), and use digital platforms for learning (smart schools) have also been started by state government. These programs, schemes and school systems should be carefully evaluated and successful initiatives can be scaled up to reach all schools. Successful residential schools systems like Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBY) which have proven track record of improved learning levels in upper primary and secondary schools and preventing dropout rate of girls, can be incorporated by the state government.

Health The areas where Ahmedabad district performs well are: the proportion of expectant mothers who deliver in institutions; immunization of young children against tuberculosis, measles and Polio, and meeting the Government of India norms of the average rural population which is served by government health centers. The district (excluding Ahmedabad City) has achieved institutional delivery rates of 98%. However several other districts have achieved 100%. Among the talukas of Ahmedabad district, Daskroi is the best performer in 2012-13 (about 97% institutional deliveries) while needs attention (88%). Another indicator where the district performs well is immunization of new borne with BCG, reporting a coverage figure close to 100% of all live births (ranked 6 of all districts). Coverage of measles and polio vaccines (both at ~97%) are also high in the district although there is room for improvement as 14 other districts report better coverage. In terms of providing health services and the norms for the average rural population served by Primary Health Centers, Sub-Centers and Community Health Centers (CHC), Ahmedabad district generally performs well. The CHC in is overburdened serving an average of about 169 thousand people. What needs urgent attention is that 5 out of 12 CHCs in the district have no specialized doctors and rely on the services of MBBS graduates, thus defeating the purpose of establishing CHCs. The state-level health statistics report provides no information on the extent to which staff positions are filled up in rural health centers of different districts, an information gap that needs to be addressed. There are several areas within the health framework in the district that call for urgent attention and action to achieve the overall goal of providing comparable levels of human development as other high performing states/districts in the country. For example, Ahmedabad district reports a Crude Death Rate (CDR) of 8/1000 for 2013-14, which is higher than the 2011 rate for Gujarat (6.7/1000) and India (7.1/1000). It is also the highest CDR compared to all other districts in Gujarat. This might reflect better reporting practices in Ahmedabad City, however the reasons need to be investigated. 6

In terms of maternal health, only 4 out of 5 registered expectant mothers in Ahmedabad district (excluding Ahmedabad City) were registered in the first trimester of pregnancy in 2013-14. Early registration helps to detect and prevent complications. While the district was ranked 10th compared to other districts, the city fares even worse: only 2 out of 3 early registrations among expectant mothers. Such figures from Ahmedabad city are cause for concern. Furthermore, only about 4 out of 5 expectant mothers complete three ante natal check-ups in Ahmedabad district (ranked 15th of all districts). This is a drop compared to 86% coverage in 2009-10. Ahmedabad city performs worse, but the time trend is positive going from 69% in 2009 to 75% in 2013-14. Irrespective of progress made over time, the absolute levels of uptake of three ante-natal check-ups are poor and need urgent attention. Ahmedabad City needs to pay particular attention to coverage of three doses of DPT vaccine which was at 92% of all live births in 2013-14, while the rest of district reports about 97%. Another vaccine coverage indicator the city needs to focus on is Vitamin A first dose. While the district reports 96% coverage (and an uptick compared to 2012-13), the city reports only 68%.

Livelihoods, Employment and Urban Development The district of Ahmedabad has shown higher than state average (73% versus 53%) percentage of net sown area to total reporting area, echoing the overall steady agricultural growth rate of the state of Gujarat in the last decade. On the other hand, a district-wise analysis of the cropping intensity (i.e. the ratio of gross cropped area to net cropped area) pattern reveals Ahmedabad district reporting lower than state average with a cropping intensity of 113.71% (2007-08). Though the state of Gujarat has recorded higher than national average worker participation rates, the district of Ahmedabad does not reveal similar patterns with a sharp rural-urban divide in employment-based indicators. By the year 2011, the rural areas of the district of Ahmedabad record lower than average worker participation rate when compared to the state of Gujarat (24 percent versus 32 percent). Finally, in comparing employment generation through establishments and Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with other districts in the state reveal that, though the growth in the number of units has remained steady in Ahmedabad district, the employment growth has dampened. The districts of Sabar Kantha, Panch Mahal and Kachhch have outperformed the highly urbanized district of Ahmedabad in terms of employment generation through these MSME units. When ranked using a standard of living index measure (a simple average of 12 household amenities and assets) data suggested that households in Ahmedabad city seem to enjoy better access and are also wealthier. Curiously, though there seem to be a distinct urban advantage (urban households generally report higher levels of access and asset holding), inequality of household provisions and amenities is sharper in the urban locations. Related to the standard of living index are the issues of financial inclusion and digital connectivity that are now important social policy goals for the Centre as well as for the state governments. Though recent programs such as the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (2014) and , Digital Gujarat (2015) have been launched, it remains to be seen how far 7

the goals of financial inclusivity, e-governance and Wi-Fi enabled villages can be achieved since the last Census (2011) suggests a sharp rural-urban divide in households availing baking facilities and abysmally low levels of internet connectivity throughout the talukas in the district. Again, the predominantly rural talukas are lagging far behind in terms of achieving these goals. Social investment in sanitation systems is an important public health and social policy tool. Data suggested that majority of rural talukas in Ahmedabad district have more than 50 percent of households indulging in open defecation. The rural talukas report very high levels of open defecation suggesting poor quality sanitation and higher likelihood of water- borne communicable diseases resulting from faecal contamination. This is surprising since the target of toilet construction has been often met successfully over the last few years (2010- 2015). Assistance under the “Nirmal Gujarat” scheme, though successfully implemented in most parts of the district, might need to be augmented for BPL families. Additionally, data suggested that about 97.41% of all households in Ahmedabad district have lighting facility in their houses. In rural areas, the percentage households with electricity are 92.12% and in urban areas it is 98.37% (Census, 2011). Data also showed that only 20.23% of the households in rural Ahmedabad receive treated tap water (Census 2011). The comparable percentage for urban areas of Ahmedabad is 75.49%. Additionally, about 53.20% households in rural areas receive untreated tap water which might be harmful to their health. About 1.94% households in rural areas were still dependent upon natural sources of drinking water (Census, 2011). Significant rural-urban divide was also observed in fuel use. More than 60 percent of rural households in the district report using firewood as the primary source of cooking fuel exposing them to high levels of indoor pollution and higher risk of lung diseases. This stands in sharp contrast to the Ahmedabad city and other urban areas that report more than 40% of households using clean fuel such as LPG, with Ahmedabad city enjoying the highest levels of clean fuel use (76%). While closely analysing the urban informal economy and its links with human development, data showed that women in Ahmedabad city bear a disproportionately higher burden of informal work and also face higher wage losses compared to their male counterparts. The city of Ahmedabad has made efforts in attaining sustainable urban environments such as Janmarg-Bus Rapid Transit System, e governance and best practices in city civic centres. However, despite this success, studies suggest that urban beautification projects such as the Kankariya Lake or the have pushed families to peripheral locations adversely affecting both their livelihoods and living conditions. Criticisms are plentiful about slum rehabilitation projects also. The urban infrastructural success of Ahmedabad city notwithstanding, these issues point to lack of economic and social freedoms among the urban poor, most likely resulting in low levels of human development.

8

To summarize, the performance of talukas by systemic and structural factors of health (child nutrition), education (proportion of literates) and economic wellbeing (a standard of living scale based on household assets and amenities), it is observed that, on an average, talukas closer to the urban city of Ahmedabad performed better than those farther away from an urban location. It gives a picture of not only opportunities, challenges and vulnerabilities by social fault lines of gender, caste and economic status but also identifies spatial inequalities in social development indicators along rural-urban lines within the district of Ahmedabad. Also as Amartya Sen reminds us of the limits of focusing only on the HDI, it would be a great mistake to concentrate only on the Human Development Index. These are useful indicators in rough and ready work, but the real merit of human development approach lies in the plural attention it brings to bear on development evaluation and to guide the overall approach of developmental direction. This broadens the perspective to cover wide ranging and interlinked parameters of progress and socio-economic development like health, education (adult education and literacy) and skill, employment, nutrition, sanitation, gender issues, housing, provision of electricity, clean fuel and drinking water, other civic amenities, forest cover, environment, irrigation, agriculture, animal husbandry, connectivity, digital literacy and financial inclusion, e-procurement, ease of doing business, taxation, land records management, policing, law and order etc.

1. Gunotsav:-There are total 822 primary schools under the District Panchayat, Ahmedabad. Year by year, significant improvement has been noticed in the results of Gunotsav. In the year - 2016-17, total 405 schools have obtained „A‟ grade. In order to improve the quality of education and infrastructure, it is targeted to obtain „A‟ grade by all the primary schools (822) by year 2022.

2. 100% Enrolment of Student of Std.8 to STD 9:- In the Ahmedabad district dropout rate of the girl students enrolled in the std. 9th is 25%, while it is 12% for the boys. We have targeted to reduce the same up to 0% gradually. Thus by 2022 all the girls will be enrolled for secondary education.

3. Improving the results of Board Examination: - This year total 85 (50 in city and 35 in rural) schools of Ahmedabad District have obtained below 30% result in SSC examination. In order to improve the performance of such schools, planning and implementation of remedial teaching will be done. For the same we have targeted to decrease the no of schools having below 30% results so there is no school in the district having below 30% results in the board examination in the next 5 years.

4. Career Corner: - In order to develop scientific attitude among the meritorious students of all the primary, secondary and higher secondary schools, a facility of science corner and career corner will be set up in all the schools of district by year 2022 so as to provide handholding support and enhance their employability.

HEALTH

Sankalp:-

I. To eliminate Malaria in Ahmedabad Rural area

Goal is to eliminate Malaria (Zero indigenous cases) throughout the district up to 2022 and to maintain Malaria free status in areas where Malaria transmission has been interrupted & prevent its re-introduction. In 2016 (Jan-Dec) total Malaria cases recorded were 280 whereas in 2017 (Jan-July) total Malaria cases have been 90.

Action plan:-

11

Activities:-

 Screening of all fever cases suspected for malaria every 15 days  Intensive Anti larval measures in all villages on weekly basis  Strengthening of inter-sectoral collaboration  Fortnightly House to House Surveillance  Early diagnosis & complete treatment  Cross verification of treatment completion  Prompt action of field staff with help of technology

Adulticidal (adult mosquito) measures:-  Community owned bed-nets impregnated with insecticide in all villages  Fogging activities in affected areas of malaria, dengue, chikungunya as per norms  Indoor residual spray in high risk villages  Effective IEC activities in rural areas

Above activities shall are aimed to bring about zero indigenous cases of malaria up to the year 2022.

GAP Analysis

 Filling up vacant posts  Training- All feeder cadre & filled staff to be trained (ASHA, MPHW, FHW, MPHS, FHS, M.O., and T.H.O.)  PPP – Public Private Partnership  Strong Inter Sectoral Co-ordination with Education, Water supply, R&B, WASMO, GIDC, Agriculture, Forest and Revenue Department

II. NABH plan for Ahmedabad district for Quality up gradation: - 1 PHC NABH pre-accreditation per TALUKA till 2022.

Accreditation benefits all stake holders. Patient is the biggest beneficiary. Accreditation results in higher quality of care and patient safety. The patients get services by credentialed medical staff. Rights of patients are respected and protected. Patient satisfaction is regularly evaluated. Healthcare Organizations benefit too. Accreditation to a healthcare organization stimulates continuous improvement. It enables the organization in demonstrating commitment to quality care. It raises community confidence in the services provided by the organization. It also provides opportunity to healthcare unit to benchmark with the best. Staff in an accredited healthcare organization is satisfied lot, as it provides for continuous learning, good working environment, leadership and above all ownership of clinical processes. It improves overall professional development of Clinicians and Paramedical staff and provides leadership for quality improvement within medicine and nursing. It provides an objective system of empanelment by insurance and other third parties. Accreditation provides access to reliable and certified information on facilities, infrastructure and level of care.

12

Action Plan

GAP Analysis:-

 Insufficient Human Resource & high attrition rate of key field staff  Infrastructural issues  Low awareness regarding sanitation  No grievance redressal system at grass root level  Lack of feedback mechanism  Absence of computerized record system at grass root level  Untrained staff for NABH accreditation procedure

Goal is to have one National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Health Care Providers (NABH) accredited PHC in each Taluka of district to reach to a total number of 9, by removing the above bottlenecks. At present only one such PHC is present.

III. Government institutional delivery to be raised from 57% to 70%.

It is observed that some valuable resources are not distributed as per the needs at health centers, although there is much scope for Govt. institutional deliveries. This results in lower acceptance of health services which, in turn, results in decreasing the Govt. institutional deliveries. The main purpose of classifying the PHC-CHC is to facilitate the much needed Rational Distribution of available resources (Man-power, vehicles, instruments-equipment, fund etc.) As per HMIS March 2017, in Ahmedabad district, Public institutional deliveries stand at 57% & private institutional delivery at 42.28%. This gap should be minimized and maximum deliveries should be carried out at PHC-CHC of our district. So, efforts should be focused on how to pull maximum beneficiaries to Govt. Health facilities for deliveries. All the available resources should be concentrated and ensured at identified delivery points.

13

Action plan

Steps to be taken at various levels for increasing deliveries at those delivery points:-

1. A-B-C CLASSIFICATION OF DELIVERY POINTS (PHC/CHC/SDH/DH)

Points which are considered for this classification:-

 Geography of different centers & current pattern of population for seeking healthcare services.  Availability of proper infrastructure (building, roads etc.)  Data of deliveries conducted.  Availability of Medical Officers, FHW & Staff Nurses  Efficiency of current man power  Status of functional labor room with proper facilities  Scope of improvement in short period of time

Category A: The PHC / CHC / DH which is functioning as 1st referral centers (where all the facilities are already available at their best). In Ahmedabad district, total 12 such delivery points available.

Category B: The PHC / CHC which will function as 24*7 functional delivery point and where all the available resources will be concentrated (if C – category centre cannot cater to the patient due to some reason, efforts will be made to conduct deliveries at these centers). In Ahmedabad district, total 26 such delivery points available.

Category C: The PHC / CHC / SC which will continue to cater delivery services, but in case of any problem, they will refer the beneficiaries to Center - B or Center – A for delivery. (The resources of these centers will act as direct support to center – B). In Ahmedabad district, total 20 such delivery points available.

2. Functioning at Different Levels like District, THO, CHC etc.

 Rational deployment of staff i.e. MO, AYUSH, FHW  Assurance of proper infrastructure, vehicles, fund, instruments, equipment, drugs.  Training wherever needed  IEC in villages regarding availability of delivery services  Administrative support  Intensive supportive supervision  Assurance of all resources which are needed at B centers by supportive supervision  Assurance for round the clock presence of staff at delivery points  Coordination with CHC and Continuous Support to CHC in terms of clinical work, whenever required (For MO, SN, LT, Pharmacist etc.)  Continuous efforts for delivery services at C Category centers.  To coordinate with THO and assuring 24 * 7 functioning of CHC 14

 Timely referral of cases to A Category centers who cannot be catered services at CHC level  To make maximum contact with local public and to build the best image of the health center to increase the acceptance of Govt. health services.  FHW will track the pregnant mothers and ensure their deliveries in identified delivery points.  FHW will also ensure quality ANC and PNC services.  ASHA & AWW will make intensive BCC in village community.  MO will also ensure support from ICDS, local leaders, NGO, Sakhi Mandals etc. at local level.

By adapting this holistic approach, the goal is to increase the Govt. Institutional deliveries up to 70 % by 2022.

IV. Reduction of Malnutrition (0 to 5 years)

 Training & Sensitization to all MO, FHW & ICDS staff  Qualitative Screening of Children by FHW & MO  SAM with Medical complication of children referred to CMTC/NRC for further Treatment & Counselling to mother for health Hygiene & low cost food practice  SAM with Medical complication having severe problem they will be referred in Atal Sneh Yojna (CHD, Cleft lip palate)  SAM with No Medical Complication Children referred to Community Level & follow up by ICDS & Health Department up to 2 years  To create awareness through village sarpanch & leaders to reduce Malnutrition if more SAM children are identified in a village  Personal home to home visit by M.O., FHW & Field staff  To take retrieval action at various stage to reduce Non Respondent children in CMTC/NRC  Till the children get properly cured, regular follow up should be taken by respective Nutritionist

POVERTY ALLEVIATION

Sankalp: -

1. Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Gramin) - It is the social welfare rural housing flagship programme of the Central Government aimed at achieving housing for all by 2022 in rural areas across the Country. Under PMAY-G guidelines, beneficiaries are selected using housing deprivation parameters in the Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data to be verified by the Gram Sabha. Ahmedabad District SECC- 2011 beneficiaries list had 39953 beneficiaries which upon verification by the concerned Gram Sabha were filtered to 12705. District Rural Development Agency, Ahmedabad is the nodal agency of the State Government created to oversee the implementation of anti-poverty programmes of the MORD at the District level. Ahmedabad District has drawn its road map and plans to saturate SECC 2011 list of the beneficiaries by March-2019. However certain shortcomings have been observed during the implementation of the scheme for e.g. large numbers of houseless families and families with Kutchcha Houses were left out in the 2011 SECC survey, who could not be helped under the PMAY-G housing scheme, defeating the very objective of the scheme under operation. Ahmedabad District has planned a detailed survey to identify all these families who don't have housing facility or reside in Kutchcha Houses and are denied housing benefit simply because their names don't appear in 2011 SECC survey. By 2022 we have planned to provide Pucca Houses to all such families whether covered or not under the 2011 SECC survey. We need GOI intervention to afford coverage to such left outs of 2011 SECC survey by way of necessary action.

2. Women Empowerment through DAY-NRLM Scheme For promoting gender equality and equal rights and participation in community life, society and work place for 50 % of our population, women have to be socially, economically and educationally empowered. NRLM renamed as DAY - NRLM (Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural Livelihood Mission) is the flagship programme of the Central Government for promoting poverty reduction through building strong institutions of the poor, particularly women, by aggregating them into Self Help Groups (SHGs), and enabling these institutions to access a wide range of financial and livelihood services. Ahmedabad District envisions empowering women under DAY-NRLM.  We have 7731 Self Help Groups (SHGs) of which presently only 4761 SHGs are active following 'Panchsutra'. A road map is prepared not only to create another 3000 SHGs in the next 5 years, but to strengthen the non-active SHGs in the next 5 years, also.

17

 In the next 5 years we plan to extend cash credit to all the existing active SHGs/strengthened SHGs and to extend cash credit to the additional 3000 SHGs to be created in the next 5 years.  We have planned to create 152 Village Organizations (VOs) by 2022. So that loans of rupees 5 lacs can be extended to them as against Rs.50000/- given to a single SHG.  At present we have 11 Amul Milk Parlour run by the SHGs in Ahmedabad District. We have planned to start another 30 such Amul Parlours by 2022 in Rural Areas (Village Population is the limiting factor, there are only 25 villages having more than 5000 population).  At present there are 9100 women members of Mahila Milk Co-operative Society. We plan to enroll another 30000 women in the next 5 years.  In Ahmedabad District 4800 women are associated with cottage and rural services. We have planned to add another 15000 to this number by 2022.

3. Poverty Alleviation under MGNREGA: - The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act is a social security scheme that guarantees 100 days of minimum wage employment to an adult rural youth within a financial year. Since MGNREGA is a demand driven employment guarantee programme and Ahmedabad District being the most urbanized and modern district of the state, the man days generation has never gone beyond 4 lac man days and financial expenditure above 4 crores in the last 5 years. In the next 5 years, we plan to take a leap from this plateau stage and stagnation by raising our benchmark and innovatively using MGNREGA funds. The following are the resolves:-

 Taking up plantation work in 520 hectares in the next 5 years  Road side plantation up to 500 running kilometres in the next 5 years  Construction of 300 cattle sheds in the next 5 years  551 farm ponds in next 5 years  100 Gauchar Development Projects

GeM: GOVERNMENT e-MARKETPLACE

Sankalp: - Our goal is to undertake all the procurement in district through e marketplace for products from more than 700 categories and for services like scanning and digitalisation, water services etc.

To minimize corruption, one of the important aspects is to reduce government‟s human transactional interface. GeM under Digital India Program, is a step in that direction to bring greater efficiency and transparency in public procurement.

Public procurement forms a very important part of Government activity and Government e- Marketplace (GeM) is a very bold step of the Government with the aim to transform the way in which procurement of goods and services is done by the Government Ministries/Departments, PSUs, autonomous bodies etc.

GeM portal has been developed for procurement of both Products & Services. Total of 6677 buyer organisations are registered on the website and 83, 510 products are available at present and hiring of transport services is also available on GeM portal.

Benefits of GeM to the Government, Sellers and the Indian industry and economy:-

1. Transparency: GeM being completely paperless, cashless and system driven e- market place which enables procurement by eliminating human interface in vendor registration, order placement and payment processing, to a great extent. Being an open platform, GeM offers no entry barriers to bonafide suppliers who wish to do business with the Government. At every step, SMS and e-Mail notifications are sent to both buyers, his/her head of organization, paying authorities as well as sellers.

2. Efficiency & Savings to Government: Direct purchase on GeM can be done in a matter of minutes and the entire process is online, end to end integrated and with online tools for assessing price reasonability. It is cost efficient and removes transactional costs.

3. Secure and safe: GeM is a completely secure platform and all the documents on GeM are e-Signed at various stages by the buyers and sellers. The antecedents of the suppliers are verified online and automatically through Aadhar and PAN databases. GeM does a 100% online verification of all vendors irrespective of the value of procurement.

4. Potential to support : On GeM, the filters for selecting goods which are Preferential Market Access (PMA) compliant and those manufactured by Small Scale Industries(SSI), enables the Government buyers to procure Make in India and SSI goods very easily.

AGRICULTURE, IRRIGATION, ANIMAL

HUSBANDRY AND COOPERATIVES

AGRICULTURE

Sankalp 1: ORGANIC FARMING:  At present Ahmadabad district is having very negligible area under organic farming. For increasing area of organic farming in Ahmedabad district during 2018-2020, 1000 ha of area will be covered under organic farming.  First three years i.e. 2018, 2019, 2020 is the convergence period for the organic farming and its products. Last two years i.e. 2021, 2022 will be utilised for marketing and Brand development.  By the end of the 2022, this farming area will be developed as Agro Tourism hub for organic farming so that other farmers can also benefit from learning about organic farming techniques and implement them in their fields, and their products are also marketed.

Sankalp 2: COVERAGE OF PRADHAN MANTRI FASAL BIMA YOJANA (PMFBY):  In Ahmedabad district approximately 194000 farmers are registered. Out of them around 52000 farmers are covered under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. That means only 27% farmers are covered under PMFBY scheme. Risk coverage of the farmers under PMFBY scheme will be gradually increased and at the end of year 2022, that will be 100%.

Sankalp 3: FARM MECHANISATION:  Ahmedabad is the financial and industrial capital of Gujarat. In spite of being an Industrial district, majority of the rural population is dependent on agriculture. But procuring farm labour is always a key problem for farmers.  Main crop of Ahmadabad district is Paddy and Wheat. So there is a wide scope of farm mechanisation but small and marginal farmers face difficulty.  At present around 22 agro Service Provider units are working in district on no loss and no profit base sharing. But coverage of area is very limited. We are keen to establish another 88 units in the district during upcoming five years, to take the number to 110.

NAGARPALIKA: CIVIC AMENITIES

Ahmedabad district has total 7 Municipalities in which 3 Municipalities are of class “B” i.e. Dholka, & -Ghuma, 3 Municipalities of class “C” i.e. Sananad, Dhandhuka & Bavla and Bareja is “D” class Municipality. Nagarpalikas act as a buffer zone between rural & metropolitan city and reduce the rural migration directly to cities as they provide all basic amenities and modern facilities that are provided by metropolitan cities.

Action plan for all Nagarpalikas

1. Swachh Bharat Mission: - 100% Achievement of segregation of Solid waste at source in all Municipalities of Ahmedabad District. All the NP‟s of Ahmedabad District are Declared 100% ODF by QCI . All NP‟s have achieved 100% Door to Door garbage collection. But at present, segregation of garbage at source has been just 5% only. All NP‟S of Ahmedabad district have decided to achieve 100% segregation of garbage of source by 2022. All NP‟S have distributed Blue & Green Dustbin respectively for Dry & Wet garbage to all societies to collect respective Garbages. Also, at present, no NP‟s have plants for processing of solid waste generated from household / commercial complexes. Facilities for processing of Garbages (solid waste) will be established in all NP‟s by 2022. 2. Energy Saving & Conservation by Solar Roof Top Yojana: - In NPs, the main concern is that the electricity consumption. Under Govt‟s solar roof top Yojana, NP‟s are to install the solar panel to run water supply pumping station in U/G drainage pumping station, Street lights & NP‟s Office, then huge savings in the electricity Bills can be achieved. This amount in turn can be used for infrastructure facility development & for other public welfare activities. It will also help reduce pollution.

3. Water Conservation & Saving by water metering: - Water supply is the primary responsibility of all Municipalities. Quality of water & quantity of water are the two important aspects.

 Quality of Water:-There is no issue of quality of water because the main source of water supply is from Narmada water supply scheme. Water is supplied after proper and adequate treatment.

 Quantity of water: - At present we are supplying 140 lpcd (liter per capita per day) but now we have to achieve 24 x 7 water supplies with the help of flow meter in all commercial and residential property by 2020. 24X7 water supply will help in reducing need for storage, less water borne disease, more revenue generation due to metered water flow etc.

Obligatory Services  Defining city limits  Watering, Scavenging and Cleansing of all public streets and places  Drainage services Fire services, Sewage services, Water supply services  Health & Medical, Education, Street Lighting Services  Maintenance of a monuments & open spaces  Regulation and abatement of offensive and dangerous trades or practices  Maintenance of burial houses and funeral homes  Construction or acquisition of public markets and slaughter houses  Construction or acquisition of cattle-pounds  Construction, maintenance and alteration of bridges  Preventing and controlling the spread of dangerous diseases, maintenance of relief works in scarcity, flood etc.  The securing or removal of unsafe buildings and places  Construction of conservancy staff quarters Discretionary Services  Construction and maintenance of maternity homes & infant welfare houses  Maintenance of central laboratories  Swimming pool and other public health services  Construction and maintenance of public parks and gardens, tree plantation  The maintenance of an ambulance services, public transport facilities  Construction and maintenance of theatres, community halls and museums etc.  Construction and maintenance of educational institutes, infirmaries and hospitals  The destruction of animals and birds causing a nuisance.  Construction and maintenance of factory for the disposal of sewage  The building or purchase and maintenance of suitable dwellings for the poor and working classes, staff quarters.  Surveys of buildings or lands  Provision of shelter to homeless persons and poor relief  Measures to meet any calamity affecting the public in the city any measure to promote public safety, health, convenience or instruction 30

Over the years, though AMC has faced growth challenges, it has overcome them effectively and provided urban services at a level significantly higher than the national averages, making it one of the top tier service providers in the country. Coverage levels in water supply, solid waste collection and sewerage are well above national norms. Our recent focus is on city transportation, encroachment removal and cleanliness and it has been made progressive improvements. More roads have been resurfaced, more encroachments removed and more solid waste collected recently. AMC has succeeded by undertaking several novel initiatives, including:  Issuing municipal bonds: AMC was the first municipality in Asia to have accessed the capital markets, and enjoys a high credit rating (AA+ by CARE). This has been made possible by AMC's sound financial management, which has resulted in a healthy revenue surplus in recent years.  Implementing property tax reforms: Ahmedabad was the first large city in India to have implemented property tax reforms, and set as zero litigation record. CRISIL recognized this as the best urban practice in financial management and extended the CRISIL Award for Excellence in Municipal Initiatives to AMC in 2004.  Setting benchmarks in the areas of e-governance, slum improvement and other urban management areas.  Environmental improvement: The civic centers of Ahmedabad are a model of governance, which has greatly benefitted citizens.  Implementing the public private partnership model in municipal transport: This involved 220 environment-friendly CNG buses, led to 33 per cent reduction in AMC's operating costs. AMC intends to procure 180 more such CNG buses.

DRINKING WATER SUPPLY

Sankalp:-

Total water demand for present comes to 95.48 MLD and for 2047 is projected to be 143.22 MLD. Our goal is to cover 447 villages by increasing the water service level to 100 LPCD to improve the hygienic situation in rural area with proper chlorination facilities. It is targeted to cover entire district with sufficient drinking facility. Regarding micro-level planning, the target is to supply drinking water at user end by pipeline distribution network with the help of WASMO organization (Water and Sanitation Management Organisation).

The Action Plan for incremental increase for the improved service level is targeted to 8% per year and to be completed in 2021.

WASMO‟s vision is to enable communities to have adequate, safe and sustainable drinking water supply and improved habitat by ensuring empowerment and active community management of natural resources, leading to an improvement in their living standards. To attain drinking water security through a combination of local and bulk water supply systems and village level infrastructure, WASMO strives to encourage communities to adopt best practices on local water resource management, including rainwater harvesting. It utilizes IEC and software activities before taking up development of infrastructure for water supply.

Total number of households in Ahmedabad is 234221 as per census 2011. Out of that, 196511 have been covered up to march-2017. According to this 83.55% household connectivity has been achieved. We are planning to complete 100% connectivity by year 2021.

ROAD INFRASTUCTURE

Sankalp: -

State Roads-

 As major industries like Maruti Udhyog Ltd. and Honda motors are present at Vitthalapur in Mandal Taluka of Ahmedabad district, the traffic movement is huge. So for the existing state highway joining Viramgam to Becharaji, Vitthalapur to Kadi, about 59.6 Km is planned to be widened from existing two lanes to four lanes road under Critical infrastructure Scheme for the movement of smooth traffic.  Bagodra- Dhandhuka- Valbhipur- bhavnagar Road, Fedra to Pipli and sanand to bavla Road are important state highways connecting to Metropolitan city Ahmedabad and to Region and there is heavy traffic movement on these roads. Hence about 65.4 Km road is being proposed to widen existing road to four lanes under connecting Metropolitan cities scheme. Approximate 125.00 km of roads is to be widened up to four lanes within 5 years having total amount of Rs 350 crore.  Also new Five Major Bridges in Ahmedabad district are to be constructed at a cost of Rs. 87.00 crores.  In Ahmedabad District there are five level Crossings on Major State highways. Hence it is planned to construct a Railway over bridge (R.O.B) amounting of Rs. 285 crores on the existing level crossing for uninterrupted flow of traffic.

National Highways:

 NH8A (New NH47) is very important National highway joining Saurashtra and kutchh region with the rest of country. The road has great strategic importance because of linkage to Kandla, a major port, also the road provides connectivity for Saurashtra ports like , , Pipavav, , , Alang and Vadinar to rest of the country. The NH8A feeds the traffic from these ports to the hinter land of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, UP etc. SEZs are also developing on this stretch of NH 8A near Changodar & Bavala industrial area. The huge plant of Nano Car of Tata Motors and plants of General Motors and other auto companies are also coming up near Sanand, which is situated about 10 km from Ahmedabad, due to which there is heavy traffic movement on this route and hence it is proposed to widen this road of about 40 km to four lane having cost of 500 crore by NHAI.  Ahmedabad-Bhayala-Bagodara road passes through heavy industrial area. The Up- gradation and four lane to six-lane conversion project along with Grade Separated facility like Fly-over bridges, VUP,PUP,ROB and service roads on major junctions and important locations is planned.  Also the existing highway in Ahmedabad district is to be six laned as well as have grade separators, over bridges etc. for reducing traffic congestion.
