– Micro planning a process of Social development A case study

Karanj aguda is a small tribal village in Pottangi block of Koraput District with a population of 178 who live below the poverty line. The Primary School & Anaganawadi center does not function regularly. The villagers were unaware of availability of local resources, use of local resources and access welfare services & scheme available for them. The villagers hade never participated in any planning process of the development for the village and to add to the list is the non-pa rticipant role of women in pallisabha & Gram sabha.

PRAST UTEE realized the need for an integrated micro planning to facilitate the people to identify their own resources and fo rmulate their own village socio developmental plan . In this process the ward member of the village has taken an acti ve role .

The people specially the women realized that the process would benefit them, and they began to take more interest in the village level planning. After the completion of the exercise , the villagers convened a special palli sabha to discuss issues and outcomes of the plan, followed by integration of the plan into the larger panchayat plan.

The vi llagers could mobilize and influenced the block administration & Rural Water Sanitation Services Society (RWSS S) to install a well for safe drinking water. The Chairman of Pottangi Block & Block Development Officer promis ed for digging pond under the National Rural Employment Guaranty Scheme .
