Raichur District & NREGA at a Glance

Raichur is the most backward (last ranked) district in Karnataka as per HDI and thus Government of India considered implementation of NREGA in the very first phase of 200 districts brought under the umbrella of this ambitious scheme in India. Fortunately, Government of Karnataka assigned the responsibility of preparing 5-year Perspective Plans of all 34 Gram Panchayats (281 out of 830 villages) in Sindhanur taluk of Raichur district in this first phase to Janakalyan. The demographic details about the district is provided in the table below-

Raichur district lies in the north-eastern part of the state and falls in ‘North Dry Agro climatic Zone’. It is 7th largest district in Karnataka and consists of 5 taluks. It is facing drought due to erratic rainfall for several years. It is predominantly agrarian with not many major / medium industrial units. The total geographical area is 6827 sq. km with 1.579% covered by forests. The district has 5 taluks with 830 inhabited villages; Population (2001 Census) is 16.70 lakh with 12.49 lakh in rural areas; average population density is 245 per sq. km. It is known for rice crop with a total area of 1.6 lakh ha under the crop. Sorghum and sunflower are other important crops. Raichur is last ranked district in the state mainly due to educational backwardness and health services and employment generation and industries as per the HDI.

It is clear from the table that about 19% SC and 22% ST households have received the job cards which is proportionate to the total SC (19%) and ST (18%) population in the district. However, participation in works has slightly reduced to 17% for SC and 21% for ST and that for women is 41% as compared to men. The important aspect to be noted that only 6% families have completed 100 days of works during the reporting period.

Similarly, the table below provides the information block-wise data on number of households demanded for job cards and the number of job cards issued; similarly, demand for employment vis-à-vis employment offered and provided to the families.

Journey of Janakalyan through NREGA

National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 has been considered across the globe as one of the best plan ever made by Indian planners; one can see the physical as well as financial progress on the government website exclusively meant for it. But the reality is something else remained as open-secret that nobody is ready to talk about. There are many questions that arise in one’s mind-  Are the objectives set by it achieving?  Are the benefits reaching to the real target groups?  What are the practical problems in making it fruitful?  What are the feelings of implementing authorities?  What the newly elected Gram Panchayat members are expecting from NREGA?  What the communities feel about this beautifully designed project?  How the officers are making undue advantages from the project? And several other questions are bothering everybody but remained unanswered.

Efforts have been put to find answers to some of these questions while implementing the SDTT supported “Leveraging NREGA funds to create productive assets for the farming communities” project in 3 GP of Sindhanur taluk of Raichur district. This report is prepared at the end of the project period and documented the progress achieved during February 2010 to March 2011.

Objectives of the project: With the support of SDTT, Janakalyan initiated an intervention in 3 GP of Sindhanur taluk to leverage NREGA funds for creation of productive assets to secure livelihoods of farming communities in February 2010. Objectives of this innovative intervention is to- a. To empower community skills to articulate their needs (issues), demand for deserved rights under NREGA, prepare plan (using micro-planning tool) and lead its implementation to help themselves b. To support community action to make effective use of NREGA funds for creation of irrigation and soil health improvement assets through community capacity building initiatives c. To make agriculture profit-oriented to make the lives and livelihoods of communities Sustainable

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA

Problems of tail-end farmers and Solutions through NREGA

Raichur is an agriculturally predominant district and almost 73% of the total working population is directly dependent on agriculture as their source of livelihoods. At the same time, the asset-base of the district is very poor, especially the productive assets required to improve the agricultural productivity. The following table gives some basic information about the dependency of the district on agriculture for their livelihoods. AGRICULTURE DEPENDENCY Major Occupations / livelihood Options of the People of Raichur District Non- Working Population Total working Cultivator Agricultural Household Other Services Population population laborers activities 937000 206680 328491 14473 183118 1669762 56% 28% 45% 2% 25%

On one hand, the livelihood analysis of demographic data depicts that about 45% of total population of Raichur is agricultural wage-earners, who needs additional employment (1st objective of NREGA) while another 28% of the population is cultivators, who needs the durable and productive agricultural assets to secure their livelihoods (2nd objective of NREGA).

On the other hand, the NREG Act, 2005 set the dual objectives to address both these issues of providing additional employment as well as creating durable productive assets using the same amount of funds as under- 1. To provide livelihood security to the households in rural areas by providing not less than 100 (one hundred) days of guaranteed wage employment in every financial year to every household, whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled and manual work. 2. Creation of durable assets and strengthening the livelihood resource base of rural poor.

This means, a penny spent shall bring double benefits to the people for whom the scheme is meant for. The wage-earners shall get employment while the farmers shall get the durable productive assets to improve agriculture productivity.

However, the tail end farmers have some peculiar problems to optimize their productivity. These problems are of special cadre and thus need special attention to resolve. To state some of these problems are- 1. Inadequate Irrigation water: Hardly 20% of the land is irrigated and 15% land is used intensively (more than one crop per year) which is very bad in the present context (after green revolution). 2. Salinity & alkalinity: About 10-20% of the land in the low-lying areas is saline & alkaline, where nothing can be grown. Choking of drainage line & use of water from the drainage lines (which drains the water from upper reach farms – leached out water) are the major reasons for salinity & alkalinity. 3. Chemical-heavy farming leading to degraded soil fertility and thus least productivity: Overdoses of chemicals left the residues in the soil degrading the soil fertility over a period of time. Therefore, the productivity has gone down to any extent. Lack of biomass and litters in the farms has also contributed to soil degradation. 4. Undeveloped land: There is still lot of lands belonging to the bottom strata of the society which have not been developed so far. 5. Lack of connectivity: Physical connectivity of the land to the residential areas is very poor causing problem for timely transportation of inputs (causing reduction in yield) as well as produces (causing post harvest losses). Further, the farmer cannot even think of going for high-income crops which are perishable in nature.

Now, if we look at the priorities of NREGA as stated below, all these above 5 problems of tail end farmers could easily be addressed by NREGA. The focus of the Scheme shall be on the following works in their order of priority: 1. Water conservation and water harvesting. 2. Drought proofing (including afforestation and tree plantation). 3. Irrigation canals, including micro and minor irrigation works. 4. Provision of irrigation facility to land owned by households belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes or to land of beneficiaries of land reforms or that of the beneficiaries of Indira Awas Yojana of the Government of India program 5. Renovation of traditional water bodies including de-silting of tanks. 6. Land development 7. Flood control and protection works, including drainage in waterlogged areas. 8. Rural connectivity to provide all-weather access. 9. Any other work, which may be notified by the Central Government in consultation with the State Government. In order to ensure that the adequate investments under Employment Guarantee Scheme are channelized for plantation programs, a minimum of 20% of the value of works taken up in a Village shall be on plantation program. Roads can be taken up as last priority not exceeding 10% of the value of all the works.

A comparative statement below shows how the problems of tail end farmers could be addressed by NREGA priorities. Sl. Problems of Tail end farmers NREGA priorities which can address the issues of tail end No. problems 1 Inadequate irrigation water Water conservation and water harvesting (Priority-1) and Provision of irrigation facility (Priority-4): By excavating farmponds to store rainwater during rainy season and use for life-saving irrigation during peak season 2 Salinity and alkalinity Drainage in waterlogged areas (Priority-7): Sub-surface drainage as well as open drainage and widening / deepening of natural drainage canal could resolve this problem 3 Chemical-heavy farming leading Drought proofing including afforestation and tree plantation to degraded soil fertility and thus (Priority-2): By increasing biomass contents of the soil, the fertility least productivity could be improved. 4 Undeveloped land Land Development (Priority-6): Develop all undeveloped land using NREGA funds for the poor farmers 5 Lack of connectivity Rural connectivity to provide all-weather access (Priority-8): Make/repair the connecting roads to the land to transport the inputs as well as produces to make agriculture profit-making

The above table clearly depicts that NREGA could be a boon to the tail end farmers, especially for the farmers of this part of the country, provided the scheme is implemented in its true spirit. What is happening in reality is something different and in this context, Janakalyan initiated this intervention with a hope to sensitize the PRI members, government officers and communities to make its best use.

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA Part I Progress Achieved (February 2010 – March 2011)

This document is prepared at the end of the project period and documented the efforts of Janakalyan through NREGA (February 2010 to March 2011). Efforts have been made to report as per the budget line items from the approved program list in the subsequent sections of the report.

1.1 Sensitization Campaign for 3 tiers PRI members: It is an important activity in order to make the program successful; unless and until the implementing authorities are convinced about the importance of these asset-building activities, it would become extremely difficult. Therefore, utmost care is taken to implement these set of activities and many rounds of scheduling and rescheduling is being done to see to it that, the team does not complete the activities for the sake of completing these tasks and achieving the target. Yet, there are few activities which have been postponed time and again for the want of suitable time so that it bears desired impacts on the target groups for whom the activities are planned for and finally completed all the planned tasks with an additional time of 2 months.

1.1.1 District Level Workshop: This was planned to be the first activity in the sequence but due to several reasons, it has remained as an incomplete activity, though planned several times during the reporting period. The major reasons are illustrated below-  Ear-end Target: The project was launched in February 2010 and all the district, block and village level officers including CEO, PD, DS etc were busy with achieving the March-end targets of exhausting their available budgets and thus they remained engaged throughout February, March and April 2010.  Election Code of Conduct: Soon after completing the ear-ending target achieving activities, government declared election code of conduct and suspended all the activities. All the officers become busy with election process and engaged themselves until end of election process.

Therefore, the sensitization workshop for these officers is kept on postponing and finally the strategy was changed to meet each of them individually to orient and convince them about the complementary approach to make NREGA provisions used for productive agriculture assets.

1.1.2 Taluk Level Workshop: Several efforts were initiated to convene the taluk level workshop during the year but due to the same reasons as stated above, this task also remained incomplete till mid- year; however, with similar strategies, we could took the PRI members and officers into confidence in addition to the local MLA. But in the month of February 2011, a big event was organized at Janakalyan Samarthya Soudha on 17th February 2011 wherein the Executive Officer, Taluka Panchayat participated along with all his line departments and PRI members. More than 300 farmers from the project villages also participated in the program. A Government-Community Interface was created between the officers and farmers and there were huge number of questions posed to the PRI members as well as government officers. Finally, the EO had to agree to incorporate the asset building activities in the Annual Action Plan.

Orientation to the newly elected PRI members: It was planned to expose the Gram Panchayat members who really want to do some good works under NREGA to few Gram Panchayats where

1.1.3 Gram Panchayat Level Workshop: The newly elected Gram Panchayat members’ orientation program was conducted on 27.6.2010 at Janakalyan Office wherein about 49 newly elected Gram Panchayat Newly elected GP members’ training members from 17 villages of 3 Gram Panchayats participated in the orientation meeting. The day- long meeting introduced the salient features of NREGA followed by the issues of tail end farmers and how these could be addressed through the involvement of PRI members. The contents of the training in brief are listed below while the detailed power point presentation could be viewed following the link.

Major topics covered are- 1. Orientation on NREGA and its salient features: a. Objectives of NREGA 2005 and its relevance to our present context. b. Five non-negotiable in execution of the Act c. Thirteen RIGHTs and Entitlements of the wage-earners and farmers provided under the Act d. Procedure for registration and issue of job cards e. Procedure for application and allotment of works f. Procedure to claim for unemployment allowance g. Permitted TYPEs of works in their order of priority and how these could create durable productive assets for farmers in addition to creating employment for the wage-earners. h. Planning of shelf of works and its approval as well as execution procedure with responsible officers.

2. Orientation on the Project: at the end of the day, we have- a. established the fact that our communities are solely dependent on agriculture using the government data and how provisions of NREGA could help us to improve our livelihood conditions. b. analyzed the factors contributing to make agriculture loss-making in our context, discussed about the alternate options available and how provisions of NREGA could overcome all these factors with their active participation. c. set the objectives of our intervention and defined the roles that each of the stakeholders (including PRI members) need to play in order to secure the livelihoods using best use of the NREGA provisions.

3. Way out and role of PRI: At the end of the day, the participants also agreed the following- a. The PRI members including the Presidents/ Vice-presidents present in the workshop convinced that lack of political will among the elected representatives is the sole reason for present status of the scheme.

b. Though, all the members had their own reservation about the project, finally they agreed to work as per our plan at least for year and if they get desired results / response, they would continue in future too. c. Each of the present members then agreed to take up at least few asset-creating during the year as per our priorities and set a target for themselves.

Newly elected GP members of Madasirwar GP Questions of GP members: All the members have same set of questions which were asked repeatedly during the orientation workshop; some of them are listed below-  If you implement NREGA activities through people, how about our percentage share?  The amount that we have already spent in getting elected as GP members, how do we recover the same?  If you don’t allow us to use machineries in executing the works, it Newly elected GP members of Alabanur GP would be difficult for us to recover our investment in next one year.

All these questions were answered and the newly elected GP members were requested that you have been elected for 5 years; use the 1st year for the cause of the communities and if the community does recognize your service, next 4 years you can recover your investment. Let’s invest this one year to make our GP as model GP in the state so that others recognize our efforts. The members were then convinced and finally each GP member agreed to take up at least 4-5 activities under our heads in the Newly elected GP members of Badarli GP next one year.

1.2 Empowering communities to prepare their own plan using micro-planning tools: This set of activities is the most important activities in whole project and therefore due care is taken care while implementing these activities. Since, the orientation activities for the government functionaries and elected representatives were not possible in the 1st quarter of the program,

Final Report (February 2010 – March 2011) .11

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA community empowerment activities were completed during 1st quarter itself to facilitate asset building activities through people’s participation.

1.2.1 Gram Sabha in villages: Apart from the 1st set of gram sabha that were conducted to orient the communities about the project in the beginning of the project, the team has conducted many rounds of gram sabha in each of the project villages. These gram sabha were to discuss various issues arouse from time to time in implementing the project activities and come up with the solutions to the respective issues. Though, there are still issues in bringing the whole community together on this issue, but we have succeeded to create a small pressure group among the villagers. Subsequent rounds of gram sabha in the villages also discussed many issues related to NREGA and its implementation. Janakalyan team also created AIG (Agriculture Interest Groups) in these villages and WEG (Wage Earners Group) to create pressure groups for the government as well as PRI members. The details of these gram sabha are annexed to Gram Sabha this report as Annex-I.

1.2.2 Situation Analysis: Situation analysis is an exercise done with the participating farmers to understand their own village scenario (especially the agriculture scenario) using participatory tools. An effort was put to understand the village situation and context in which we are intervening to make agriculture profit-making through NREGA support. The summary is furnished in Annex-II.

Problems in growing crops in these villages: The Janakalyan team has also tried to understand the factors contributing failure of crop or bottlenecks in cultivating various crops in these villages through situation analysis exercise. Major among these are- 1. intermittent dry spells between 2 rains 2. lack of connectivity with the lands 3. inadequate irrigation water available for these farmers 4. over dozes of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has degraded soil fertility to any extent 5. salinity and alkalinity caused due to water logging condition of the soil 6. recent flood has broken the farm bunds, deposited silt and eroded the top fertile soil from the land in the river banks 7. lack of proper marketing facility 8. inefficient functioning of Krishi Vigyan Kendra and Raita Sampark Kendra caused inadequate percolation of information to the farmers 9. migration of laborers to the nearby cities in search of employment 10. lack of complete scientific & latest knowledge about any crop among the farmers

Whether NREGA can address these issues? Most of the above problems could be addressed, if the NREGA is implemented in a systematic manner. 1. drainage of waterlogged, saline and alkaline areas; 2. farm pond to harvest runoff and resolve irrigation issue; 3. de-silting of land, bunding, flood control measures, etc. to bring land to the original condition; 4. providing connecting road to the land 5. promotion of AIGs in the villages and making them aware about scientific know-how about the crops 6. implementation of labor-oriented activities to bring migrated population back to the villages 7. sensitizing the newly elected PRI members to take up productive assets creating activities

Leveraging NREGA Funds to make Agriculture Profit-making & Sustainable in Raichur to manage the demands of the farmers. The work estimates crossed few millions while the provision per fiscal year cannot cross hundred thousands rupees.

Reactions of elected representatives: Though the communities expressed their happiness to our project but the PRI members are not so happy. However, we could mobilize their supports in some of the villages; most of them participated because their period is over and they are not sure that they will again get elected in the present election.

1.3 Implementation of shelf of works to generate employment and create productive agriculture assets through communities: Achievement of the project objectives could be possible only with this set of activities. While most of the planning and preparatory activities were completed in 1st and 2nd quarters of the project period, the 3rd quarter was completely dedicated for execution NREGA shelf of works and demonstration of farm based activities. The team had an apprehension that the agricultural operations and monsoon might come in their way in execution of these shelf of activities while never calculated the big hurdle that government might suspend implementation of all NREGA activities during 3rd quarter.

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA

Plan of action to create productive agriculture assets: The micro plans prepared by the Janakalyan team with the communities was reorganized as per the requirement of the government in the prescribed format and got the approval of the newly elected Gram Panchayat members and

then placed before the government for approval. The Taluk Sl. Name of Gram Budget Approved (Intermediate) Panchayat has also recommended this shelf of No. Panchayat (in Lakh) works to District Panchayat and the District Panchayat has 1 Alabanur 125.75 withhold its approval citing a reason that the Annual Action 2 Badarli 154.00 Plan had already been approved by the Government; 3 Madsirwar 93.74 however, at the end of the year, if any of the activities form Total 373.49 the approved lists is dropped, then these can be taken up. Further, the CEO also suggested that many of these activities proposed in our microplans have also are common in the government approved list, which can be implemented immediately with Janakalyan cooperation. CEO told that payment for many of the works completed last year to mitigate flood affects were pending due to lack of funds and also incomplete NMR; all such works have been included in the current Annual Action Plan which have been approved and have been uploaded in MIS.

Preparation at Higher level: in order to execute the shelf of works several efforts are made throughout the project period to convince the government officers at GP, TP and ZP levels that our intervention is to create productive assets for the farmers by leveraging funds from NREGA. The workshops at GP, TP and ZP levels yielded no results. The action plan approved by the government for 3 GP of our operational area could be summarized as presented in the table.

Though, these works were approved by government for 2010-11, with all our efforts and coordination with the executing authorities at Gram Panchayat and Intermediate Panchayat, we failed to take up a single work under NREGA till December 2010. The communities were on toes but we failed to meet their expectations too. The major reasons cited by the government officer are- 1) During the last (2009-10) year flood, lot of activities have been executed in all the Gram Panchayat of Raichur district which were not approved in last year Action Plan (beyond the approved budget by the Government of India); these activities have been officially approved during current year action plan and decided to make payment to the old GP Members during the current financial year while the newly elected GP members want to take up new works. Therefore, they are not taking up any work during the current but entering last year figures in the website. 2) The new GP members want to implement all the approved works as per the action plan while the old GP members, since they have invested in these works want their payment reimbursed

Leveraging NREGA Funds to make Agriculture Profit-making & Sustainable in Raichur by the officers. Both the groups are right as well as wrong because most of the works have not been implemented by the old members but are claiming for payment, thus the old members are at fault; similarly, some of the works have been implemented but was not paid and hence the new members are at fault. In this fight, the labor groups are the sufferers. 3) The conflict between old and new GP members is a problem difficult to resolve. One of the reasons is that most of the works which the old GP members are claiming for payment are either incomplete or not executed at all while there are some genuine cases WEG Meeting also. The new GP members want to conduct a systematic scrutiny and then make payment to the genuine works. 4) Election code of conduct was cited as the reason till last quarter while now their statement has changed.

This problem exists not only in our project area but in all 164 GPs of Raichur districts. In fact the situation is too worst in few other GPs. Several rounds of public hearing and people protests at taluk and district level has been conducted by NGOs and people institutions.

1.3.1 Promote Agriculture Interest Groups (AIG): In order to execute the shelf of works systematically, we planned to promote AIGs in each of the project villages. The execution plan at the community level was modified as per the contexts arouse from time to time as under- 1) AIG: Initially it was planned that the work would be executed in the leadership of AIG and thus an AIG in each village was promoted with the farmers (who shall create productive assets in their farms), wage-earners who must get 100 days of work from the NREGA activities. The information about these AIGs has already been provided in previous volumes of our reports. Several rounds of capacity building interventions have been done for their empowerment in all respects of NREGA. The focus was on complementary approach.

2) WEG: When we realized that the complementary approach might not yield expected results during the year, the team decided to form Wage Earners Group (WEG) involving 50 wage- earners from each village to create pressure groups for the government. About 9 such WEG has been promoted in 9 out of 17 villages. All the members of these WEG have been made aware about various aspects like job rights, benefits available under NREGA, roles of various stakeholders under NREGA and the Act itself through meetings, awareness camps and trainings. Pamphlets regarding NREGA and the list of works already approved in all the 3 GPs

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA in our project area along with budget details are also shared with these WEG members to provide clear knowledge, information and also to create demand for works. Some of these WEG has already submitted their job requests to respective GP.

3) Job Cards: In the month of August 2010, the government declared that all job cards registered till 31.3.2010 as null and void and as a consequence the bank accounts and all other related documents became useless. The reason cited by the government was that these job cards were made by GP members / staffs and therefore the families have never engaged themselves in NREGA works till 31.3.2010. Hence, to estimate real demand for NREGA works, government invited community to register themselves for job cards; they deleted registrations of all job cards and bank account, etc. from MIS. Therefore, Janakalyan team had to spent maximum time to provide hand holding support to the communities for registration of labors for job cards, open bank accounts, etc. because, without this basic ground work, labor groups can not demand for the jobs from GPs under NREGA. The interesting point to be noted here is that the job enrollment movement was supported by PRI members as well as GP officials because it complements their target achievement.

In addition to the AIGs, the team has also promoted Wage Earners (labor) Groups (WEG) in 9 out of these 17 villages (meetings held but group yet to be formed in other villages); these labor groups were used as a tool to fight against the government as the complementary approach did not yield any results.

The major reasons- 1) February- March: The ground works were carried out to form AIG, prepare microplans to assess the needs of the communities. 2) April-June: Gram Panchayat election announced till election of GP President and Vice- president: election code of conduct and hence suspended all works. 3) July: Government announced new system to replace Secretaries by PDO (Panchayat Development Officers) in each Gram Panchayat; due to handing-taking over the charges by newly recruited PDOs, no work execution took place. 4) August-September: The old GP members, who had lot of works in February-March in additional budget as flood measures but could claim payment in April due to announcement of election, submitted their claims. But the newly elected GP body declined their payment alleging that these works were either not executed or partially executed by the old GP members. The conflict was in whole Karnataka state and took lot of time to resolve the issue by the intervention of state level bureaucrats and finally resolved in September end. 5) October- November: Execution of approved shelf of works initiated and completed few works as furnished in the subsequent sections of the report. 6) December- January: The Intermediate and District Panchayat election announced and thus execution of works suspended due to election code of conduct again.

Despite all these hurdles, the team could achieve most of the agreed tasks and the details are provided in the subsequent sections of the report.

Budget Approved: Total approved budget of all 3 Gram Panchayat put together is Rs.3,75,48,800 while that for 4 asset-creating Earmarked Budget for different categories of works works is Rs.2,75,08,800 whereas Sector Alabanur Badarli Madasirwar our target is only Rs.2,02,50,000.

The budget approved by the government for the year 2010-11 is grouped in 5 categories for our reporting convenience; 4 sectors representing the needs of the farmers to create productive agriculture assets and all other priorities of NREGA are grouped as ‘other works’. The maximum budget is earmarked for tree plantation in Alabanur GP, approach roads in Badarli GP, Land development in Madasirwar GP and water harvesting structures in Alabanur GP. The least

fund is earmarked for tree plantation in Badarli GP, approach roads in Madasirwar GP, land development in Alabanur GP and water harvesting in Madasirwar GP.

GP wise work allocation: The allocation of works in all these 3 Gram Panchayat of Sindhanur taluk are furnished in the table above and discussed as under.  Alabanur: Maximum funds is earmarked for water harvesting structures (Rs.42,30,000) followed by tree plantation (Rs.25,15,000) and connecting road (Rs.20,10,000) and the least investment is for land development activities. About Rs.38,00,000 is allocated for all other priorities of NREGA.  Badarli: Similarly for Badarli GP, the maximum funds is earmarked for connecting road (Rs.66,00,000) followed by water harvesting structures (Rs.23,00,000) and Rs.11,00,000 each for land development and tree planning activities. About Rs.43,00,000 is allocated for all other priorities of NREGA.  Madasirwar: For Madasirwar GP, the maximum funds is earmarked for water harvesting structures (Rs.22,80,000) followed by connecting roads (Rs.19,50,000) and Rs.19,43,800 for tree planning while Rs.13,60,000 for land development activities. About Rs.19,40,000 is allocated for all other priorities of NREGA.

Completed Works: With an additional time of 2 months (February-March 2011), Janakalyan team could complete almost all agreed tasks by mobilizing the communities; due to several reasons as stated above, the team failed to complete all the agreed tasks within the project period and thus sought an extension for 2 months (February-March 2011). The team is thankful to SDTT for providing an additional time to complete all the agreed tasks without any additional funding

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA

From the above table, it is clear that about Rs.1,85,40,000/- (91.56%) of the total target of Rs.2,02,50,000/- is accomplished despite all these hurdles during the project period. Though, we

must agree that Janakalyan team could not involve physically in implementing all these works as many parallel work execution took place in each GP while we have only 1 GPO per GP; however, the planning was done by Janakalyan and the AIG / WEG members participated in these works, wherever our staff failed to make it. Many works have been implemented by direct supervision of our GPO in collaboration with GP members.

Analysis of the works taken up under NREGA in 2010-11: It is clear from the following table that out of total works executed during the year under NREGA, more than 68% works are to create productive agriculture assets (water harvesting, land development, plantation and connecting roads) proposed by Janakalyan while rest 32% is for other works. Similarly, from the works those are approved by government and would be executed, the major share (about 86%) is again to create productive agriculture assets while only 14% would be related to other works.

Similarly, the above table depicts that only 27% of the total GP budget is earmarked for other works while 73% of the works are approved to create productive agriculture assets. Detailed study shows that about 80% of total approved budget is earmarked for asset building activities in Madsirwar while that in Badarli is 72% and in Alabanur is 70%.

Analysis of the works for each GP: Similarly, if we analyze the works for each GP, we find that maximum works have been implemented in Badarli GP (63%) followed by Madsirwar (54%) and least is in Alabanur (29%); the total works completed so far in these 3 GPs for creating the productive agriculture assets is 49% while for other works is only 23%.

However, out of the completed works of all 3 GPs, the highest investment has gone for connecting roads (26%) followed by water harvesting structures (18%) and least is for land development (6%). Tree plantation has remained zero because the work execution started  after the monsoon and thus still none of the works have yet been taken up under this category; however, as per the official records, all these activities have been completed and payment has been made.

As discussed in the earlier paragraphs,  Janakalyan has identified 4 areas of productive agriculture asset creation by leveraging funds from NREGA. The following figure depicts that, tree plantation has not been taken up at all (0%) as it is a seasonal intervention but the 

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA period when this activity shall have been taken up (July-Sep) was spent in the conflict between the old and new GP members. It is also clear from the figure that maximum investment has gone into approach road from the village to the farms in all the 3 GPs. Water harvesting structures have also been created but relatively less than other works while investment for land development is least among all 4 components.

Works yet to be executed: If we analyze the works that are already approved and remained incomplete, we find maximum investment would be for tree plantation followed by water harvesting structure and then connecting roads while land development would find least investment.

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA GP-wise work execution: The GP-wise execution could be analyzed using the following pie charts. It is clear from all the 3 GPs that maximum investment has gone into connecting roads followed by water harvesting structures.

Conclusion: To conclude the above discussion one can say that, total commitment of Janakalyan during the project period was about Rs.2,02,50,000/- while we have already accomplished Rs.1,85,40,000/- (91.56%) despite several hurdles during the reporting period. The team is very happy with the achievements during the reporting period despite all these hurdles but has learnt lots of lessons from experiences / hurdles, which shall be our assets for the future period of intervention. Moreover, all the elections starting from lower tier of PRI to District PRI, MLA/MP are completed during the year and therefore we will not face any such difficulties in the next 3 years. Therefore, keeping the learning in mind, we are sure to do more good works to create productive agricultural assets for the farmers of the region and come up with a replicable model to leverage NREGA funds for the benefits of the farming communities.

Major problems encountered in executing planned works: Execution of approved NREGA works by Janakalyan team is not an easy task in the present environment and systems adopted by the government in implementation of the activities. The elected representatives as well as government machineries have their own stakes in execution of these shelves of works and

Leveraging NREGA Funds to make Agriculture Profit-making & Sustainable in Raichur therefore don’t entertain interference by any external persons/institutions like ours. Some of the problems we have faced while executing these sets of shelves of works under NREGA are –  The communities themselves are not interested to get the works done in their field (especially the individual benefits like water harvesting structure, land development works or tree plantation) but simply want the amount paid to them (whatever amount they get after paying the percentage of share to all persons associated in finalizing the bills and getting it released).  The newly elected PRI members, who have invested lot of funds to get elected this year, have so far not been able to get any works implemented due to various reasons stated in our previous volumes of the reports; also part of the approved budget has been shared with the old PRI members and therefore, initially showed reluctance in implementing the works, especially with the cooperation of Janakalyan since our team insists for true implementation. However, finally agreed to cooperate for the works which directly benefits the farmers to create productive assets only.  The concerned officers at various levels though express their full support whenever our team meets them, but creates all sorts of difficulties while making payment for the executed works to discourage the farmers / wage-earners. This was the major problem as if the payment for one activity is delayed then our team finds extreme difficulty in mobilizing the wage-earners / farmers to participate in subsequent works.

 Our anticipation in the beginning of the program about the policy level problem as a hurdle to complete the works in time was the most important cause for failure to initiate execution of the works. The government took a decision to reject all old job cards and requested people for fresh registration for job cards with their family and individual photos of all who wants to work under NREGA. With this decision coming into force, we had no eligible labors as per the Act and thus had start from zero with facilitation of the labor groups for job card registration and

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA bank account opening. This consumed our whole quarter for entire team with negligible results as the community has really lost faith in the scheme.  When we engaged ourselves in this ground work, the conflict between OLD & NEW GP members reached peak. The old group wants their payment for approved (executed in last financial year) works while the new group demands for execution of all works as per the approved plan. Finally, none of the works has been implemented in any of the GP till September 2010.  The micro-plans prepared by Janakalyan team involving all sections of the community and old GP members was withhold at ZP level, the interest of AIG members and other people to whom we had trained started diminishing. The team failed to sustain the motivation level of these trained people despite several efforts.  The wage rate of project area in agriculture operations is very high compared to that of NREGA and thus getting labor during crop-season (July-February) is difficult; however, in off- season (March-June) the labors are available in plenty.

Strategies adopted to execute NREGA works: The notable strategies adopted in order to get these works executed to create productive agriculture assets are-  Complementary approach adopted to ensure the planned activities are implemented with their cooperation.  Taking the elected representative into confidence and implementing the shelf of works in their leadership.  A meeting of all the officers from all 3 tiers of PRI system in the chairmanship of the local MLA to give them an impetus is conducted in August 2010; it was expected that this would help us to get the support and cooperation of the elected representative as well as PRI members.  AIG / WEG were the central force to implement the shelf of activities planned under NREGA.  Labor groups are made aware by organizing meeting, training & sharing materials.  The works approved for 2010-11 is shared among all labor groups and made aware about the works planned in NREGA during this year.  Labor groups are facilitated to register for job cards and apply for job allotment to GPs.  Lot of pressure is created through labor groups at taluka and district level by NGOs and labor unions and other people institutions.  Many rounds of individual interactions with the beneficiaries for whom the works have been approved followed by focused group discussion to make them understand the importance of these productive agriculture assets with the following reasoning- With these productive assets, they would derive the benefits for years and also for their next generations, in terms of increased productivity. The benefits would be multiplied year after year. If they do not create these assets this time but simply get percentage of money, they would never be able to create these assets in future, as government would not allow them to get the same benefits in future.  PRI members are convinced to cooperate with the concept that If you support the farmers to create these productive assets, they would remember you as long as the structure remains with them while for the common infrastructure like village road, etc. nobody recognizes you. The approved budget for the productive agriculture assets is part of the total budget where we are seeking your cooperation and not for all other activities.

Leveraging NREGA Funds to make Agriculture Profit-making & Sustainable in Raichur In the whole nation, nobody has done work on this model of productive agriculture assets creation with NREGA funds and thus whole nation would recognize this model and also all of you once we prove this as a replicable model.  The officers of various levels responsible for execution of the NREGA works are convinced with the motivating factors like- Out of 164 GPs of the district (34 in Sindhanur taluk), we are requesting you all to support us to create these 3 GPs as model GP so that we can give a model to the whole nation; definitely, as executing agency, the officers like you will be recognized by whole nation.

1.3.3 Implementation of SRI: As clear from our previous quarterly progress reports (Volume I, II, III & IV), all these asset creating works have been implemented only during October- November & February-March due to election code of conduct and conflict between old and new GP members. As per our original plan, the demonstration of agriculture components should have been taken up with the farmers for whom the agricultural assets such as irrigation tank, drainage, land leveling is undertaken by the project. Since, our efforts were concentrated on such asset creating works, we lost few months of kharif season and then realized that the asset creation might go beyond the kharif crop. Therefore, the team identified interested farmers among AIGs who have assured sources of irrigation at least for part of their farm and initiated the demonstration of agricultural technologies such as SRI, IFS and high yielding crops. Therefore, though we will not be able to measure the exact outputs and outcomes of the project for agriculture components, the expenditure, yield and income data are documented from time to time which are furnished here.

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA

Though, these demonstrations do not exhibit the benefits of the assets created by leveraging funds from NREGA, but since these are complete in themselves, the farmers have realized the importance of such technologies. It is worth mentioning here that without assured irrigation, we can neither demonstrate the benefits of SRI nor the vegetable cultivation; but even then the farmers have got good yield and realized that SRI, vegetable cultivation and IFS are very relevant systems of cultivation in the present context for this region. There was lot of hesitation towards adoption of SRI and thus there was very poor response too in the beginning; however, some of the participating farmers have now realized its importance and are ready to adopt it during next cropping year too. They found nothing important in IFS as many of the farmers has been doing it for years; however, the IFS package that Janakalyan propagates is tank-based and thus the farmers did not realize its importance during the year. It would be demonstrated again with the farmers having tanks in the next cropping year. Vegetable cultivation was a new addition to this area and farmers have got the taste during the year and we are sure they would definitely adopt it in the years to come as part of their regular farming activities.

Though we have documented details about the expenditures, yield and return from these demonstration plots, but we don’t have any benchmark to compare the results as this is the first year we have introduced the program with these farmers. Therefore, we do not have the records of their previous year and hence cannot compare the data of the year with that of previous year. However, we can definitely make analysis of the data against the expenditures that with the return. Further, some of the farmers have also shared that the yield is more than that of previous year, but there are few others who have also mentioned that the return has reduced from that of previous year.

1.3.4 Implement LEISA with IIFS: Some of the AIG members have taken up IIFS activities in their farms i.e. diversified cropping system during the kharif season. But, all the components of the IIFS were not possible during the current year as the farmers do not have the farm ponds. Regular field visits by the staffs as well as providing all necessary technical supports from time to time to the farmers was important strategy during the year.

Technical Training: Further, the farmers were taken to University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur wherein 54 farmers and all project staffs participated in a day-long exposure cum training on IFS at KVK, Raichur on 24-9-2010 to gain knowledge about the activities to be adopted with the irrigation tanks. This training mainly focused on IIFS, horticulture crops, animal husbandry, agriculture extension practices for rabi crops, fish cultivation, etc. Dr. A. R. Kurubar, Horticulture Specialist and Dr. B. K. Desai, Specialist for IFS and Mr. Mohanchandra Chawhan and 3 professors from KVK and UAS, Racihur were involved during this training program.

Leveraging NREGA Funds to make Agriculture Profit-making & Sustainable in Raichur Chapter II Learning from Field (February 2010 – March 2011)

Social projects are implemented to learn from the experiences and a project of this nature has a broader goal for learning for wider application. NREGA has attracted the attention of global planners and more so if productive assets creation is possible leveraging funds from this very important & large scale project. At the end of the project period, Janakalyan team has learnt many things, some of which are recorded below in the following sequence-

2.1 Major Problems faced in implementing the activities: Problems are bound to come and we are there to overcome all such problems is the basic understanding of Janakalyan team. An effort to put all these problems in this chapter is not to discourage the readers but to help them not to repeat the same. Learning comes if problems are encountered while implementing activities in field and therefore, problems are recorded first followed by learning. The major problems encountered by the team while implementing the activities are- . Villages belong to a particular Gram Panchayat while the land of the farmers falls in the boundary of another revenue village. Which village microplan shall cover the farmer? . Many farmers are requesting to take up productive asset creating works in their farm only; how to prioritize and whom to leave? . During rainy season, it would be difficult to get labors for the works like drainage line, farm pond excavation, etc. . Lack of participation of PRI members in the gram sabha as well as micro planning exercise. . If the land falls under Tungabhadra command area, then farm pond cannot be excavated, the GP secretary says. . Farmers do not sit in the gram sabha throughout the discourse to deal with the issues related to farming. . Most of the farmers are interested to show their own land during the transect walk; they don’t walk to others’ land due to hot sun in this summer. . Many of the farmers do not have job cards; how to get is an issue for the farmers. . Difficult to get 50 members in each AIG especially in the small villages. . Election of Gram Panchayat has created difficulty in completing the microplanning exercise and also the estimate; similarly approval of the plan was also difficult until the election completed. . Communities have negative attitude towards social development initiatives and government functionaries, especially anything related to Gram Panchayat. . Lack of cooperation by Gram Panchayat Secretary and PRI members. . Some of the farmers still do not know about NREGA and its provisions. . Reluctance of communities about NREGA activities as well as Gram Panchayat members was the foremost obstacle in implementing the project activities; it is difficult to change the mindset of communities about NREGA & GP members. . The rights and entitlements of communities under prestigious NREGA were not known to the communities; they only knew that NREGA is for the GP members, they need to give their job cards to the GP members for implementing the works.

Final Report (February 2010 – March 2011) .43

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA . GP members considered themselves as the contractors to implement NREGA activities as planned by the GP secretary. The GP secretary also fixes the target and timeline that the said amount MUST be spent within a prescribed time limit without even bothering the agricultural operations. . Election process for lower tier of PRI i.e. GP members and subsequently election of Presidents and Vice-presidents delayed implementation of all NREGA activities. . Demand of each farmer to take up his/her land for excavation of farm ponds / drainage in waterlogged areas / plantation of trees/ construction of roads, etc was another major difficulty before the team to finalize the microplans. . Many duplicate job cards have been created to draw funds after carrying out the activities using machineries. . In every village, duplicate bank accounts have been created in the names of the wage-earners without their notice and amount has been drawn from their accounts with fake signatures / thumb impressions. . Action Plan not prepared in Gram Sabha but by the GP members without even consulting the stakeholders and such prepared action plans are not being approved in time for proper implementation. . Labor-oriented works are not being taken up in almost 98% cases. . Almost all works are carried out by machines and materials; however, in the documents they have maintained the 40:60 ratio of materials: labors. . NREGA wage is less than the market wage rate in irrigated areas; there is huge demand for raising the wage-rate as per the market rate. . Technical staffs are not recruited by ZP but outsourced causing delay in payment and work execution. . No systematic documentation at GP level delaying the payment process up to 6 months in several cases. . Mates are not recruited at GP level; those who have been recruited by labor group is also not accepted by the GP/departments. . Worksite facilities to the wage earners are not provided at all; wage-earners are not aware of such entitlements. . Continuous 15 days works not given to any group in GP. . Insurance is not being provided to any workers who have completed 50 days of works. . Injured workers are not provided with hospital benefits as per the provision of NREGA. . Our anticipation in the beginning of the project about the policy level problem as a hurdle to complete the works in time was the most important cause for failure to initiate the works. The government took a decision to reject all old job cards and requested people for fresh registration for job cards with their family and individual photos of all who wants to work under NREGA. With this decision coming into force, we had no eligible labors as per the Act and thus had start from zero with facilitation of the labor groups for job card registration and bank account opening. This consumed our whole quarter for entire team with negligible results as the community has really lost faith in the scheme. . When we engaged ourselves in this job card mobilizing and bank account opening kind of ground work, the conflict between OLD & NEW GP members reached peak. The old group wants their payment for approved (executed in last financial year) works while the new group demands for execution of all works as per the approved plan. Finally, none of the works has been implemented in any of the GP. . The micro-plans prepared by Janakalyan team involving all sections of the community and old GP members was withhold at ZP level, the interest of AIG members and other people to whom we had

Leveraging NREGA Funds to make Agriculture Profit-making & Sustainable in Raichur trained started diminishing. The team failed to sustain the motivation level of these trained people despite several efforts. . Lack of personnel at the GP level is another big hurdle; there is only single post i.e. Panchayath Development officer (PDO) to look after about 15-20 schemes of GP along with NREGA. Further each PDO is made responsible for 2-3 GP. Even taking care of 1 GP by 1 PDO itself is a heavy to bring outputs. In our project GPs too, full time PDO was not till date but after several protests, the government has appointed only 2 PDO in 3 GPs. . The wage rate of project area in agriculture operations is very high compared to that of NREGA and thus getting labor during crop-season (July-February) is difficult; however, in off-season (March- June) the labors are available in plenty. . During the last (2009-10) year flood, lot of activities have been executed in all the Gram Panchayat of Raichur district which were not approved in last year Action Plan (beyond the approved budget by the Government of India); these activities have been officially approved during current year action plan and decided to make payment to the old GPMembers during the current financial year while the newly elected GP members want to take up new works. Therefore, they are not taking up any work during the current but entering last year figures in the website. . The new GP members want to implement all the approved works as per the action plan while the old GP members, since they have invested in these works want their payment reimbursed by the officers. Both the groups are right as well as wrong because most of the works have not been implemented by the old members but are claiming for payment, thus the old members are at fault; similarly, some of the works have been implemented but was not paid and hence the new members are at fault. In this fight, the labor groups are the sufferers. . The conflict between old and new GP members is a problem difficult to resolve. One of the reasons is that most of the works which the old GP members are claiming for payment are either incomplete or not executed at all while there are some genuine cases also. The new GP members want to conduct a systematic scrutiny and then make payment for genuine works. . Election code of conduct was cited as the reason till last quarter while now their statement has changed.

2.2 Solutions to the problems: Most of the issues are resolved through discussion and debate among the farmers themselves. Various types of stakeholders such as youths, leaders, farmers and wage earners are involved in these meetings. Lot of discussions about NREGA and Janakalyan approach to make it successful with the cooperation of farmers helped resolving most of the unhappiness among the farmers. How Janakalyan is different from Gram Panchayat and government functionaries was clarified to address these issues.  Government is taking all kinds of measures to rectify the misappropriations that has taken place in past while implementing NREGA and therefore, you can expect good results in the days to come” was a kind of assurance that Janakalyan team has given to the communities in order to remove their reluctance attitudes.  Several rounds of training and awareness activities to the AIG members and wage-earners and potential farmers have made them aware about the Rights & Entitlements under NREGA along with all salient features of the said Act, which are in favor of the communities / wage-earners and farmers.

Final Report (February 2010 – March 2011) .45

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA  Taking PRI members into confidence by involving them in each and every activity under the project was another strategy to bring them on track.  Convincing the farmers that each of them will get the benefits from NREGA once it is streamlined as per the provision of the Act; they must cooperate to initiate few activities under these heads and thereafter, they will exercise their own rights to get the benefits for excavation of farmponds, plantation, drainage or road.  The concept of “Model GP” has motivated the newly elected GP members and other elected representatives as well as frontline functionaries to involve themselves in the project activities.  “Use 1st year for these asset creation activities and if the community does not recognize their service, then next 4 years they can use to get their investment back” has worked to bring the GP members on track.  Facilitated the process of getting their new job cards from the authority on case to case basis.  Action Plans are prepared in Gram Sabha for the 1st time in the history of NREGA using microplan tool and efforts are on to get these approved by the government.  Of late, started promoting labor groups in each of our operation villages and decided to link these groups with labor union in the district.  Participated in 3 rounds of protests exclusively to change the situation of NREGA programs at district level in association with other institutions/associations operative in the district to create pressure on the government.  Initiated an action to involve all NGOs and other networks around the issue and conducted a district level hunger strike and AHORATRI DHARANA on 15.8.2010 day at Ambedkar circle, Raichur.  Compelled the Principally Secretary, Department of RDPR, Government of Karnataka to intervene at district level to initiate the execution of shelf of works with immediate effect.  AIG and WEG members met twice in the last 5 months to discuss about permanent PDO to be posted to Madsirwar and Badarli Panchayat. MLA discussed with EO, taluka panchayat and arranged PDOs for both the GP during last month.  In all the 3 GPs already Gram Sabha conducted to start works under NREGA immediately.  We facilitated about 1000 families already for registration of job cards and to obtain job cards and to open SB accounts as during the reporting period.  Helped the communities to take the photos and other documents to get job cards.

2.3 How these could have been better implemented: To make these activities more effective, following should have been adopted- . Little more time shall have been provided to make these plans more effective and interactive. . Election and paddy harvesting hindered the process of participation; it would have been more effective, had it been done little later. . Presence of Gram Panchayat members as well as secretaries could have been ensured in microplans after another 15-20 days (after completion of election process). . The project that has commenced in February 2010 should have been commenced little earlier than this, i.e. during September-October 2009, as proposed in our proposal; this could have helped us to finalize the shelf of works using micro-planning tool before December 2009 and submitted to the government for its approval. Now that the government has already approved an action plan for 2010-11, they are assigning the same reason and not accepting the plan prepared by the community to take up asset building activities. This being the major problem, we could have avoided by submitting the action plan before the due date.

Leveraging NREGA Funds to make Agriculture Profit-making & Sustainable in Raichur . We have planned for asset creating activities whereas the implementing authorities are neither equipped nor interested even in implementation of the project activities through labors. At the same time, the wage-earners are also not willing to take part in labor-oriented works due to various factors of NREGA implementation. We should have addressed these basic issues first before taking up larger issues like asset-building activities. At least 1 year should have been earmarked for the awareness building and community empowerment works in these GP before initiating asset- creating activities. . While most of the issues related to NREGA are complex in nature and beyond the control of small scale intervention and thus demands large scale intervention. However, project commencement and duration is also a hurdle in our way which could be resolved by extending it for few more months. But, to make this program a successful event in future, it shall be taken up at least for 3 years period as described in the learning section of this report.

2.4 Learning: The major learning during the reporting period are- . Microplan is an important tool to bring communities to the same platform. . Farmers have greater needs for productive assets creating activities but are not aware about the provisions of NREGA. . Farmers have very negative attitude towards Gram Panchayat and are reluctant to participate any activities in the name of Gram Panchayat. . Farmers have their own reservation against SRI, IFS and vegetable cultivation and might become difficult to implement these activities in these villages. . Janakalyan team has lot of apprehensions about the new set of Gram Panchayat members going to get elected on 8.5.2010; success of the project mostly depend on these sets of PRI members as implementation of NREGA activities are directly undertaken by this lower tier of PRI. . Communities have very raw ideas about NREGA, its objectives, their rights and entitlements, how they can get benefits from NREGA, how it could help them to resolve all agricultural needs. . Community feels that NREGA is meant for the GP members and they are the contractors to execute this shelf of works. . Community does not see any role in implementation of NREGA shelf of works; neither they know who to plan the works and for whom? . Communities have made to understand by the PRI members as well as government functionaries that they are supposed to hand over their job cards to the GP members. . The innocent men / women from the rural areas have now learning corruption because of NREGA; they engage themselves in their farm-works while hand over their job-cards to the GP members @ 15-30% of the wage-rate. . Janakalyan should not have planned the asset-creating activities for the 1st year rather it should have taken up awareness, capacity building and empowerment activities during the 1st year; the asset-building activities should have been taken up in the subsequent years. . Project should commence in accordance with the NREGA cycle as per the government norms so that the micro-planning is completed in November and shelf of works is submitted in December to the government for approval. . This kind of project shall be taken up in larger areas (more number of GPs) to create pressure on government. The intervention in small areas might not create the desired pressure on both political as well as administrative system.

Final Report (February 2010 – March 2011) .47

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA . Policy level advocacy at district and state levels is equally important to make the project successful in parallel to the field level interventions. . Demonstration of agricultural practices shall be planned only after creation of durable productive assets in the farms leveraging funds from NREGA. Without creating of assets neither SRI nor IIFS or vegetable cultivation is possible. For all these, we need to ensure availability of irrigation water on regular basis. . The project concept is well taken by the communities and all of them are participating wholeheartedly as this can really make their livelihood secured in long run; the only issue is the duration of the project should have been at least 3 years to implement all these planned activities is their suggestion. . One must predict all the possible obstacles well ahead of initiating the concept; e.g. in this case, we had never thought about the upcoming GP election which has direct relation in implementation of NREGA activities. Similarly, the case of project commencement and period. . We have learnt from our experience that a program of this nature shall be initiated in July-August for a minimum of 3 years period. . Preplanning Phase (July-October): All the preplanning activities (AIG promotion,farmer election, microplanning, etc.) shall be completed before October and actual implementation (excavation of irrigation tanks) shall commence immediately after harvesting of the crops. Because, the land become free from crops during this period and also government accepts the shelf of works in December. This period could be effectively be used in building relationship with various line departments for possible collaboration to leverage funds from developmental projects. . Planning phase (November-December): In consultation with GP, executing authorities and labor groups the work execution plan shall be prepared during November- December. . Execution Phase (January-June): Execution of shelf of works including irrigation tanks should be done between January-June. This is the very right time to complete all farm pond excavation, bund strengthening, drainage in water-logged areas and other similar works. . Demonstration Phase (July-March): Immediately after execution and with the commencement of monsoon in July, we can introduce crop & water related experiments in the field to demonstrate the benefits of IIFS package of Janakalyan. Field days, Result sharing program, internal exposures for neighboring farmers, etc shall also be conducted during this period to bring more farmers under the umbrella. . Post Implementation Phase (April-June): This is the period when planning shall be done for next phase of activities based on the performance in previous project period. This is how we have planned to use the learning form the project to incorporate in next project phase. Complementary approach is the best approach and would be successful in a way we are proceeding ahead in due course of time. . Complementary approach is the best approach as against the right-based approach for a program like NREGA to ensure real benefits to the farmers. . Complementary approach, as practiced in this project, is slow but steady and is a sustainable intervention in long run while the right-based approach might bring immediate results but wipe out at the end of the intervention. . Institution building at the grass root level for the wage-earners as well as farmers is essential component of the project to create productive agriculture assets which acts as pressure groups for the PRI members as well as government functionaries. . Microplanning is the only tool to mobilize communities by making them realized their needs and the possibilities of getting these needs met through the NREGA.

. Information is power and thus the communities made aware about the facts and figures related to NREGA on day to day basis, it would make them active in deriving the benefits from the national flagship program like NREGA; a kiosk at Gram Panchayat may help a lot to achieve this goal. . Though it is not that easy to motivate the elected representatives and government functionaries towards selfless works, but the team is now ready with several strategies to ensure that they create productive agricultural assets in the subsequent years. . There are many farmers for whom the productive agriculture assets have been sanctioned under NREGA but are not interested to execute these works instead wants to get some percentage of the earmarked budget without creating the structures; this is because they do not have proper knowledge about these structures and also the importance of such structures and the impacts that these structures would bring in long term. Our efforts have changed mindsets of many farmers to execute the works in their farmers during the year. . The labors are also hesitating to participate in execution of the works as they are not able to meet the output criteria and thus minimum wage per day; instead if they go for agriculture operations, they can earn more money than NREGA with lesser efforts and energies. Therefore, many of the works have been implemented using machines in the places where labors were not available.

Chapter III Action Plan (April 2011 – March 2014)

3.1 Plan of Action for next 3 years to make it a replicable model: Based on the learning from pilot phase, Janakalyan proposes that interventions which it has initiated in February 2010 shall be taken forward with the following activities for next 3 years commencing from April 2011 with the support of SDTT. This being a unique approach of Janakalyan, nowhere in the country it has been implemented. Upon successful of the intervention, it would become a National Model and could be adopted in all districts across the country. If, using this complementary model, we can reduce the corruption even by 20-30% form the present level, it would be huge contribution to the country if we consider the amount of funds the government is investing in this particular program.

3.2 Strategies to implement the program: In future, the following strategies to be adopted to effectively implement the proposed activities-  Sensitizing the elected PRI members immediately about the needs of the farmers and how they can contribute towards their village development. Taking these elected representatives into confidence and implementing the shelf of works in their leadership.  Take the PRI members for an exposure to a place where the elected representative has done an excellent work under NREGA.  Orienting the front line functionaries to take up asset-building activities under NREGA. A meeting of all the officers from all 3 tiers of PRI system in the chairmanship of the local MLA to give them an impetus, which would help us to get the support and cooperation of the elected representative as well as PRI members.  Empowering AIG & Wage-earners to demand for asset-building activities under NREGA. AIG/WEG would be the central force to implement the shelf of activities planned under NREGA. Empower the labor groups (WEG) and submit demand for works to respective GP as per approved shelf of works.  Complementary approach would be adopted to ensure the planned activities are implemented with their cooperation; if it does not work, then the right-based approach through these AIGs would be initiated because by then our AIGs would also become enough strong through our capacity building initiatives.  Pursue with government for approval of micro-plans prepared by the community for next financial year (2011-12) as this is the right time for submission to the government for approval.  We ensure the members from all WEG and AIGs attend the monthly KDP meetings convened by EO at taluka level to share their concerns.  We would invite the Taluka level NREGA nodal officers to the respective GPs to resolve the conflicts arise from time to time and to give immediate solutions in the field itself at GP level, if necessary at respective village level too.  We continue to organize labor community and form WEGs and educate them and help them for registration for job cards, bank account opening and to submit job demand application to GP.  Help GP to conduct WEG members meeting every month to discuss about works on going, works completed and works yet to be taken up and to develop action plans involving all WEG members for successful implementation of works by maintaining coordination among all levels. This kind of regular monthly meeting will certainly help to ensure works execution in time, proper monitoring and documentation so that payments also will be credited to their account in time.

3.3 Anticipated Problems: Some of the anticipated problems which might come in the way of implementing these activities are - Seasonal agricultural operations might come in the way of implementing the NREGA activities; shortage of labor in time would be a constraint. Approval of the shelf of works (prepared using microplan tool) by government would be a constraint. This would become the major constraint in achieving our target of leveraging funds from NREGA for asset creating activities. Failure of monsoon would be a constraint in demonstrating the agricultural packages such as IFS, SRI and high-income crops. Delay in completing asset building activities would bear an impact on the demonstration activities, as these are directly related with the proposed assets such as drainage in waterlogged areas & excavation of farm ponds.

Leveraging NREGA Funds to make Agriculture Profit-making & Sustainable in Raichur The elected GP members might also become a constraint in the way of taking up asset creating activities under NREGA, if they are not self-driven. Policy level decisions by the government/ policy makers in relation to NREGA would become the major constraint in achieving the objectives. Shortage of labor might be another issue as there is a chance that many works start simultaneously in all the GPs to complete government targets before closure of the financial year; thus use of machines might be more than expected. Our labor groups might not get more opportunities to work as they won’t be able to participate in parallel works. Transfer of PDOs may be a great hurdle to achieve progress in time.

3.4 Strategies to ensure participation of all stakeholders: The strategies those would be adopted to ensure participation of all the stakeholders in the project execution would different for different groups as stated below- Plan to ensure people’s participation: Without participation of the wage-earners and farmers, this project is a day-dream; the major strategies would remain-  AIG is the central strategy to ensure wage-earners while demonstration of agricultural demonstration  Taking up asset-building activities would ensure participation of farmers in the project  Regular meeting of AIG,  Need-based training to the farmers and  Routine gram sabha in all villages would ensure participation of the community in the project activities.  Bring more and more families under the umbrella of WEG / AIG

Plan to ensure PRI members participation: Participation of PRI members, especially the lower tier is essential component to make the activities implemented through NREGA. The major advantage we have is the new set of GP members, who have yet not been polluted by the polluted administrative and political practices. The major strategies that we plan to adopt to convince this PRI members are-  One to one contact with these elected GP members to motivate them towards social cause,  Exposure trip for them to the MODEL GP in the country where good NREGA works have taken place; take all the PRI members to a GP where extraordinary works have been done by elected representative to motivate these PRI members.  Motivational training on regular basis would help us to bring the PRI members on track.  Implementation of all activities under their leadership,  Requesting them to chair all community functions,  Exposing them as the person who has been responsible for making the activities successful would be some of the major strategies to motivate the PRI members.  Help the PRI members in engaging labors for the shelf of works they want to execute in their constitutions thereby providing jobs to our labor groups and implementing asset creating activities for the farmers.  Provide all possible support in documentation and other execution related activities through our GPOs.

Productive Agriculture Asset Creation by leveraging funds from NREGA  Honoring these PRI members in functions organized in the villages and giving all credits before the communities that whatever good works are happening in their villages are because of these PRI members.

Plan to ensure government staff involvement: Government functionaries are also important stakeholders in making the project successful; though, most of them have their own hidden agenda behind the scheme but still all of them also like to do some good works in their lifetime. However, they are driven by the context and thus can’t translate this into action. Further, they also lack in man power and political will. Given an environment, we strongly believe they will cooperate and support our intervention and contribute significantly in making the project successful. The major strategy convincing strategy would be-  Do in your own way in all GP leaving only 3 GP for us to make these GP as “model GP” in making the objectives of NREGA achieved with your great cooperation and support.  The government staffs will cooperate only when they feel that our interventions are complementing in achieving their targets and therefore the following strategies would be adopted in future- 1) Providing all assistance to the GP and TP level staffs in completing the approved activities in time through our AIG/WEG. 2) Assisting the government staffs to complete documentation of the activities through our GPOs. 3) Honoring the government staffs in public meetings organized in the villages and giving all credits before the communities that whatever good works are happening in their villages are because of these officers who are committed for the development of the communities.

The major problems encountered and the lessons learnt are recorded in this chapter of the report and planned to use the above strategies in completing the planned activities in future.
