3c) Strengthening State Plan for Human Development & Human Development Research and Coordination Centre.
A ‘Human Development Research and Coordination Centre’ was established under Development & Planning Dept., Government of West Bengal to achieve the project objective of “Strengthening State Plan for Human Development” during 2005. An Empowered Committee was also formed for guidance of HDRCC in furtherance of the project. The Empowered Committee is headed by MIC, Development & Planning Department with 15 members including representatives from Planning Commission, GOI and UNDP. The said project is directed towards strengthening State Plan including decentralized plans with focus towards Human Development.
Shri B. K. Bhattacharya, Ex-Chief Secretary to the Govt. of Karnataka was appointed by Planning Commission, Govt. of India as external consultant for evaluation of SSPHD project. In the Final Evaluation Report, the performance of SSPHD in our state has been appreciated. However, some gaps were also pointed out for preparing an effective strategy and action plan for more effective implementation of SSPHD project.
The Work Plan 2009 is given at Annexure I.
The activities taken up during the years are as follows:-
I. Preparation of District Human Development Reports. II. Advocacy & Dissemination III. Capacity Building of Planners at all level IV. Engendering State Plan V. Strengthening State Statistical System VI. Strengthening System of data processing through NRDMS
I. Preparation of District Human Development Reports (DHDR) DHDRS are prepared for in-depth analysis of the situation of Human Development in the districts which in turn reflect development of the districts. The Human Development reports are aimed to assist the district and sub-district level planners for policy and plan formulation. In the first phase, DHDRs were prepared for the Districts of Bankura and Malda with the active participation of concerned district administration as well as academicians from districts. These two DHDRs were first sub-State level Human Development Reports in the country. In the second phase, DHDR for the district of Birbhum was officially released by Honourable Chief Minister of West Bengal on 4th February, 2009. The DHDRs for three more districts viz. North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas and Bardhaman will be printed soon. The draft DHDR of Uttar Dinajpur is in the process of finalisation. In the third phase the DHDRs of Coochbehar, Purulia, Paschim Medinipur and Hooghly districts have been taken up. Work is in progress in the districts of Purulia, Coochbehar and Hooghly. In the fourth phase i.e. during 2009, DHDR for the districts of Jalpaiguri and Murshidabad will be taken up for which Prof. Jeta Sankrityayana shall act as Lead Coordinator. The executive summary of Bankura and Malda DHDR in Bengali are in the press for final printing.
In this regard it is worth mentioning that the Common Modality on Preparation of District Human Development Report, conceived by Prof. Jeta Sankrityayana, Member, State Planning Board, has been acclaimed by Planning Commission, Govt. of India and circulated amongst all the States of the country for using it for their DHDR preparation. 38 A team of officers from Rajasthan HDRCC visited West Bengal for an interaction on Preparation of DHDR and Other Related Issues with the Lead Coordinators of DHDR and District Magistrates of Bardhaman and Bankura. A workshop was held on Integration of Participatory District Planning and District Human Development Report at New Delhi where Shri P. K. Mishra, who was the lead coordinator of DHDR Bankura as well as District Magistrate of the same during that period and Shri Manish Jain, District Magistrate, Bardhaman, had made presentations on behalf of Government of West Bengal.
II. Advocacy and Dissemination
Behavioural Change Using a Communication Tool
A pilot study was planned with the Women & Child Development Department to use a Calendar designed with the help of CINI (Child In Need Institute) as a tool. Five blocks namely, Patharpratima and Gosaba under South 24 Parganas, Hingalganj under North 24 Parganas, Gajole under Malda and Mathabhanga-II under Coochbehar district were selected for the pilot study. These blocks have high IMR & MMR values for mothers and children.
In the first phase 25% Anganwadi Centres of above blocks were chosen for introduction of the calendars. Child in Need Institute (CINI) was entrusted with the work of baseline survey, training of Anganwadi Workers, monitoring, hand holding and end-line survey.
Proposal to extend the pilot study in additional lot of 25% Anganwadi Centres in Hingalganj block in the district of North 24 Parganas & Gosaba and Patharpratima blocks in the district of South 24 Parganas in collaboration with CINI, under the supervision of Women & Child Development and Social Welfare Department had been ratified by the Empowered Committee. This second phase is in progress.
III. Capacity Building of Planners at All Levels
District level training of Planners: Master trainers developed under Training of Trainers (TOT) Programme are now organising district level training of planners from different line departments and blocks. The training of District Level Planners for strengthening State Plan for Human Development have been organized in the Districts of Burdwan, Purba Medinipur, Purulia, Howrah, Dakshin Dinajpur, Malda, Paschim Medinipur, Jalpaiguri, and Coochbehar in 2008 and in the district of Birbhum in February, 2009. Trainings are yet to be organised in the districts of Darjeeling, Uttar Dinajpur, Murshidabad, Nadia, Bankura, 24 Parganas (North) and 24 Parganas (South) which will be initiated by the district administrations after the completion of General Election, 2009. The manual prepared by Administrative Training Institute –WB is being used for the trainings (Manual for Training of Trainers on Human Development- Part I and Part II). A status report is given in Annexure-II.
IV. Engendering State Plan:
For opening of Gender specific head of account, 24 departments were approached.
10 (ten) departments namely, Animal Resource, Backward Class Welfare, Panchayat & Rural Development, Fisheries, Food Processing Industries and Horticulture, Higher Education, Housing, Jails, Labour and School Education have already opened Gender & Children specific budget heads with approval from AG, WB. Forest, Cooperation and Technical Education & Training Departments have already moved the Finance Department, Govt. of West Bengal for opening of such head of account. V. Strengthening State Statistical System: A pilot study titled “Strengthening State Statistical System” has been running in the districts of Uttar Dinajpur and Bankura. Keeping in view that Human Development (HD) is one of the key focus areas of 11th Plan (2007 - 2012) the issues to be covered in this study are (a) to capture the present status of human development in the society and the available data on key parameters and ( b) human development statistics that are required to be generated at district and sub-district level to facilitate planning. The major areas of HD Statistics are related to Health, Education and Livelihood. Data collection has since been completed and BAES is now compiling and validating the reports. The outcome of this exercise will be available shortly along with recommendations to systematize the process of data collection, generation, storage, retrieval, validation and analysis to the line Departments for enhancing reliability.
VI. Natural Resource Data Management System (NRDMS) : NRDMS centres are now in operational in all the districts except in the districts of Coochbehar, Malda and Darjeeling. Personnel are being appointed in the three districts. Hardware and basic software Arc View 9.2 have been supplied to all the centres. The NRDMS centres are expected to provide valuable data for preparation of DHDRs which will ultimately lead to realistic District Planning. The NRDMS centres also in the long run will be converged with SSDI & NSDI as the District level unit of Spatial Data Infrastructure System. This was appreciated in the Planning Commission meeting held during February 2008 at Delhi.
