Independence, the Government of India has launched a number of Central Schemes, Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) and Community/Area Development Programmes in the areas of health & family welfare, education, employment & poverty eradication, agriculture, women & child development, sanitation, housing, safe drinking water, irrigation, transport, tribal development, border area development, social welfare, etc. both in rural and urban areas of the Country, including Jammu & Kashmir. The main objectives of all these schemes are to generate employment, improve quality of life, remove poverty & economic inequality and human deprivation. Besides, these schemes are also aimed at creation of basic infrastructure and assets essential for economic development in rural areas. There is a general feeling that despite of huge allocations made by Government of India through Central Schemes//Centrally Sponsored Schemes in Jammu & Kashmir, the development in basic infrastructure and amenities/facilities are not perceptible, especially in rural areas of the State. Further, the standard of living of the people is still very poor and the employment opportunities to the young people are still considered to be very limited and inadequate. Since, most of these Schemes are in operation for a pretty long time, the Programme Evaluation Organization, at the instance of Ministry of Home Affairs and as per the recommendation of Group of Ministers constituted by the Central Government on Internal Security and Border Management, undertook the Evaluation study on "Micro Analysis of certain Centrally Sponsored Schemes in selected districts of Jammu & Kashmir. The main objectives of the study were to examine whether CSSs have generated the desired benefits, including specification of reasons for their tardy implementation, short -comings in implementation and steps required to tone up their implementation, including their monitoring, to achieve the desired results. The study was assigned to Population Research Centre, Kashmir University, Srinagar (J&K) and they were advised to assess the impact of five Centrally Sponsored Schemes in selected four militancy affected border districts of Jammu & Kashmir, two each from Jammu and Kashmir regions The present Report in hand is the result of fruitful collaboration between researchers in Population Research Centre, Kashmir University, Srinagar, Programme Evaluation Organisation, Planning Commission, New Delhi and Regional Evaluation Office, Planning Commission, Chandigarh. The study aims at evaluating the impact assessment of the five Centrally Sponsored Schemes viz. (1) Employment Assurance Scheme (EAS), / Sampoorna Gram Rozgar Yojana (SGRY), (2) Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY), (3) Swaranjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY), (4) Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) and (5) National Old Age Pension Scheme (NOAPS) in the State of Jammu & Kashmir. I hope the study, which provides useful information on the impact assessment, problems and shortcomings in the process of implementation of the selected Centrally Sponsored Schemes in Jammu & Kashmir, would be extremely useful to the policy makers, concerned Central Ministries and Implementing Agencies at the State Level to introduce the improvements, take suitable corrective actions to ensure that the intended benefits of the schemes reach the target group. I congratulate the Honorary Director and the team of researchers of the Population Research Centre, Kashmir University, Srinagar as well as the Officers/Officials of Programme Evaluation Organisation, New Delhi and Regional Evaluation Office, Chandigarh for their excellent work. (Smt.S.Bhavani) Senior Adviser (PEO&PC) Place: New Delhi Dated: 27/07/2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background: Government of India is implementing a number of Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) in the areas of rural development, urban development, health and family welfare, education, agriculture, women and child development, sanitation, housing, safe drinking water, irrigation, transport, border area development, social welfare through out the Country, including Jammu and Kashmir.
