Panchayati Raj Department, Government of Orissa http://orissapanchayat.gov.iniv
With a view to ushering in a democratic and participatory governance at grassroot level
in the country as envisioned by the Father of the Nation, the Constitution of India wasamended in 1992 to introduce three-tier Panchayati Raj System. It was hoped that Panchayats
would contribute to attaining the goals of accelerated growth with social justice. After
introduction of three-tier Panchayati Raj System, the State has witnessed unprecedentedgrowth in grassroot democratic institutions. There are now 6234 Gram Panchayats, 314
Panchayat Samitis and 30 Zilla Parishads. There are close to 87,542 elected representativesat village level, 6,234 at Samiti level and 854 at district level with representation of
women and socially-historically disadvantaged sections of the society.
This Annual Report for the year 2006-07 and 2007-08 is an attempt to compile the
important initiatives and achievements of the Panchayati Raj Department for strengtheningand finding ways to empower the people in the process of economic growth. The period
under report witnessed launching of state sponsored Gopabandhu Gramin Yojana toprovide rural infrastructure, namely Bijuli, Sadak, Pani, in 11 districts and Backward Region
Grants Fund of MoPR in 19 districts, extension of the flagship rural employment
programme, NREGS. The period is also marked by important achievements in SGRY, SGSY,IAY, TFC Award, new initiative like TRIPTI and constitution of Forest Rights Committee
for implementation of the Scheduled Tribe and other Traditional Forest Dwellers(Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006. The report is intended to be used as a reference
book by the officials, PRI representatives and all those associated with Panchayati RajSystem. I hope the users will find it really helpful for them.

Panchayati Raj Department
The history of the Panchayati Raj Department (in
its various incarnations) is as old as the history of Orissa.However, in its present form, it came into existence in
1994. It is considered as a very important Departmentnot only for the quantum of fund it handles; but also for
the fact that its activities have a direct bearing on rural
development and poverty alleviation. It is also the nodaldepartment through which endeavour is made for grass-
root democracy and decentralization of power throughPanchayati Raj Institutions which have become fulcrums
of all activities.
Panchayati Raj Department of Orissa primarily
deals with two Ministries of Govt. of India; i.e. Ministryof Rural Development (MoRD) and Ministry of
Panchayati Raj (MoPR). While various schemes includingthe Wage-employment Schemes, Self-Employment
Schemes and Rural Housing Schemes fall under thepurview of MoRD, matters relating to Devolution ofPower to PRIs, Decentralised Planning, Finance
Commission Grants and Backward Region Grant Fundetc. are dealt by MoPR.
[However, some other important schemes ofMoRD such as PMGSY, Rural Water Supply, Total
Sanitation Programme are not handled by PR Dept. ofGovernment of Orissa. These schemes are handled by
Rural Development Department of Government of
Orissa]
Zilla Parishads and District Rural DevelopmentAgencies at district level, Panchayat Samities at Block
level and Gram Panchayats are the existing structuresthrough which PR Dept. activities are carried out in the
field. In addition to this, PR Dept. has got a State-levelInstitute at Bhubaneswar namely the State Institute for
Rural Development (established in 1964) for training
and capacity building of PRI elected representatives andfield functionaries. Three Extension Training Centers
(ETCs) at Bhubaneswar, Bhawanipatna (Kalahandi) andKeonjhar also function under PR Dept. for training and
capacity building purpose. For facilitating marketing of
rural products, PR Dept. created an autonomous body
at the State level in the name of Orissa Rural Marketing
Society (ORMAS) in 1991 which functions through itsdistrict units named District Supply and Marketing
Societies (DSMSs). In 2006-07 a mission in the name of
Orissa Poverty Reduction Mission (OPRM) wasconstituted under PR Deptt. for the World-Bank aided
TRIPTI (Targeted Rural Initiatives for PovertyTermination and Infrastructure) project, which will be
implemented from 2008-09.
Panchayati Raj in Orissa
Orissa Grama Panchayat Act, 1948 was the first
legislation prescribing constitutional power to Grama
Panchayats in Orissa. Provisions of the Act were to beextended to different areas of the state from time to
time and could be withdrawn where necessary, ascircumstances might warrant. In the year 1950-51, 500
GPs were set up in different areas of the State. It was
assumed that successful functioning of Panchayats atselected cases would serve as examples to the
surrounding villages, which might be prompted todemand establishment of Grama panchayats. This
experiment however did not succeed because in manyvillages people were misled by the propaganda that in
the panchayat areas people had to pay some additional
taxes and fees to the panchayats without gettingappreciable amenities in lieu thereof. Government
therefore adopted a scheme of establishing Panchayatscovering an entire district or a sub-division w.e.f. 1952-
53. The provision of withdrawal of Panchayats from
certain areas was deleted in the Orissa GramaPanchayats (2nd amendment) Act, 1957.
Initially a Panchayat was formed in a single village
having a minimum population of 1500 or a group ofvillages having a minimum population of 1000. It was
soon noticed that such a small unit was not financially
viable. Therefore, some of the panchayats established inthe year 1950-51 were merged with neighbouring
panchayats in order to make them financially viable units.
During the period 1958 to 1961, Community
Development (CD) Blocks were established in the state

in selected areas. Orissa Zilla Parishad Act was enacted
in the year 1959 but ZPs were not constitutedimmediately. Subsequently ZP Act was amended and
titled as the Orissa PS & ZP Act, 1959 in the year 1961
(Orissa Act 24 of 1961). In the year 1961, a 3-tier systemof PRIs was established in the State covering all villages
with the objective of removing illiteracy, poverty anddiseases.
One of the three-tiers of panchayats, the
intermediate tier namely the Panchayat Samiti was made
the implementing agency for all programmes. Fund forCommunity Development was given as grant-in-aid to
Panchayat Samiti, Zilla Parishads were abolished in theyear 1968. The Panchayat Samitis emerged as an important
institution for implementing developmental
programmes, poverty alleviation programmes and socialsecurity schemes. However, despite these important
roles, Panchayat Samitis and Gram Panchayats could notemerge as institutions of Self-Government.
In the year 1992, the 73rd Amendment ofConstitution was made by the Parliament to establish
institutions of self-government from village upwardsproviding fixed tenure, definite minimum reservation
for discriminated groups.
After 73rd amendment the panchayat laws were
amended according to the provisions of 73 rd
Constitutional amendment as given below:
(i) Reservation of seats in favour of SC, ST, OBC and
women.
(ii) Constitution of Election Commission and Finance
Commission.
(iii) 5 years tenure for Panchayats.
(iv) Redefinition of the Powers and Functions of the
Gram Sabha and Palli Sabha.
However, even before the 73rd Amendment of
the Constitution, Orissa had taken the lead in providingreservation in favour of SCs, STs, and Women in 3-tier
PRIs. A distinguishing feature of the Panchayati Raj
system in Orissa is that either the Chairperson or theVice-Chairperson of all the three tiers of Panchayati Raj
Institutions is a woman. The 73rd Amendment of theConstitution and Provisions of Panchayats Extension to
Scheduled Areas Act, 1996 (PESA) came into force in theyear 1993 and 1996 respectively. Orissa Panchayat laws
were amended in consistence with provisions of the
73rd Amendment and Provisions of PanchayatsExtension to Scheduled Areas Act. Orissa is the first
State to conduct PRI elections in 2002 according to PESAAct thereby ensuring social justice to Scheduled Tribe
communities. All the offices of elected heads of 3-tier
PRIs in Scheduled Areas have been reserved for STs.Gram Sabhas and Palli Sabhas have been given more
statutory power after PESA Act came into force.

strengthen PRIs as institutions of self government. Inthe year 2003, 21 subjects of 11 Departments were
transferred to Panchayati Raj Institutions. District Level
Officers, Block Level Officers and Village Levelfunctionaries of 11 Departments have been made
accountable to Zilla Parishad, Panchayat Samiti and GramaPanchayat respectively for implementation of subjects/

for effective devolution of functions, funds and
functionaries as per the mandate of 73 rd Amendment ofthe Constitution.
PRIs' Election - 2007
The law and procedure relating to conduct ofelection to Panchayati Raj Institutions have undergone
fundamental changes after the Constitution (SeventyThird Amendment) Act, 1992 came into force. The State
Election Commission constituted under Article 243 K
of the Constitution of India is vested with powers ofsuperintendence, direction and control of preparation
of Electoral Roll and the conduct of all election to thethree tier Panchayati Raj Institutions. After the 73rd
Constitution Amendment Act, 1992 (w.e.f. 24.04.1993)the State Election Commission, Orissa completed 3rd
General Election to Panchayati Raj Institutions in
February, 2007.
As the first step, the commission recommendedthe State Government to complete the task of
Delimitation of Wards and Constitutencies and
Reservation of Seats by 30.04.2006. Government soughtfor extension of time upto 31st May, 2006 to complete
the process which was accepted by the Commission. In
view of the ban imposed by Delimitation Commissionof India it was suggested that delimitation of Wards &Constituencies may not be taken up and only reservation
of seats and offices in all tiers are to be done as per the
procedure laid down in respective Election Rules. Alsono reorganization of Grama Panchayats and Panchayat
Samitis was taken up. The State Government inPanchayati Raj Department completed the reservation
of seats for Zilla Parishad Members and Collectors of
different Districts completed the reservation of seats
for Ward Members, Sarpanches and Panchayat Samiti
Members by 31st May, 2006.
On the advice of the State Election Commission,
the State Government issued notification on 22ndDecember, 2006 calling upon the electorate to elect
their representatives to three tier Panchayati RajInstitutions in a General Election. The Commission
notified the election schedule on 26.12.2006 and themodel of conduct came into force from the same date
till completion of direct election i.e. 21.02.2007.
Elections were held in 5 phases from 13.02.2007 to21.02.2007 with one day gap between each phase of the
poll.
For the first time, all statutory / non-statutory
forms, labels were printed in Oriya in order to facilitatethe contesting candidates. The Commission changed the
colour of ballot papers and prescribed light blue forWard Member, yellow for Sarpanch, pink for Panchayat
Samiti Member and white for Zilla Parishad Member.
For the first time ballot papers were printed with watermark having Logo of SEC as a security measure. To
ensure free and fair elections the Commission deployed25 IAS officers of the State as Election Observers. The
Commission for the first time, introduced ceiling onelection expenditure for candidates contesting for
Sarpanch, Panchayat Samiti Member and Zilla Parishad
Member as all political parties unanimously requestedthe Commission to that effect. The Commission also
fixed limit on use of number of vehicles by contestingcandidates. In order to implement the ceiling fixed by
the Commission, 32 expenditure observers belonging
to Orissa Administrative Service and Orissa FinanceService had also been deployed.
The Commission ordered for re-poll in 216
Wards due to booth capturing, destruction of ballotboxes and vitiation of free and fair poll. This figure is
much less in comparison to 453 numbers of repolling
ordered during the last General Election in 2002.
Arrangement was made for 2,36,15,749 votersto exercise their franchise for electing 87,542 Ward
Members, 6,234 Sarpanches & 6,233 Panchayat Samiti
Members and 854 Zilla Parishad Members. Overallpercentage of poll was 73, which is 2.62 percent more
in comparison to General Election of 2002. AroundRs. 35.00 crores was spent for conduct of Panchayat
Election, 2007.
The Provision of (Extension to the ScheduledAreas) Act, 1996 came into force on 24 th December,1996. Orissa Gram Panchayat Act, 1964, Orissa Panchayat
Samiti Act, 1959 and Orissa Zilla Parishad Act, 1991have adopted the provisions of the PESA Act. It covers
7 districts i.e. Mayurbhanj, Sundargarh, Koraput,

Accordingly 24,734 Wards out of 87,542 Wards, 1,966
office of Sarpanch out of 6234, 1965 office of PanchayatSamiti Member out of 6233 and 256 Members of Zilla
Parishad out of 854 come under the Schedule Area.
Election to these offices were conducted as per theprovisions of the PESA Act.
On review of the election process the
Commission observed that counting of votes at thebooth creates a lot of problem which affects the quality
of counting resulting in lot of litigations. There is a general
tendency of the defeated candidates to snatch away theballot papers and boxes. towards the end of the counting.
It is felt necessary to take up counting at the block
headquarters for conduct of poll in a fair manner withminimum law and order problem. This requires certain
amendment of Panchayat Election Rules which is to betaken up on priority by the State Government.
Commission has already recommended to theGovernment accordingly.

For any scheme to succeed in implementation, planning
is crucial. Keeping this in view 5 year District Perspective
Plans have been prepared under NFFWP and revisedunder NREGA. This 5 yrs perspective plan under NFFWP
have had the approval of 3 t ier PRIs and also treated asAnnual Action Plan of respective year. It is worth

Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana (SGSY)
Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana (SGSY) is being
implemented in the entire country as a major rural self-employment programme since April,1999. This
programme was launched in April 1999 by merging
erstwhile programmes such as Integrated RuralDevelopment Programme (IRDP), Development of
Women & Children in Rural Areas (DWCRA), Trainingof Rural Youth for Self-Employment (TRYSEM), Supply of
Improved Tool Kits to Rural Artisans (SITRA) and Ganga
Kalyan Yojana(GKY).
Families below poverty line (BPL) in rural areas
constitute the target groups of SGSY. Within the targetgroup, special safeguards have been provided to
vulnerable sections by way of reserving 50% benefit for
SCs/STs, 40% for women, 15% for religious minoritiesand 3% for disabled persons.
SGSY has brought about a paradigm shift in thedevelopment strategy for creating self-employment
opportunities for the rural poor by focusing on
mobilization of the rural poor into Self Help Groups,their capacity building and skill upgradation, assistance
for conducting different economic activities byappropriate credit linkage, support by way of creating
necessary infrastructure and facilitating marketing of
rural products. The Self Help Group approach has beenrightly recognized as the best way of socio-economic
empowerment of rural poor.
Assistance under SGSY to Self Help Groups and
individual Swarojgaris is given in form of subsidy by the
Government and credit by the banks. Credit is the mostcritical component of SGSY whereas the subsidy is a
minor and enabling element only. Accordingly, SGSYenvisages greater involvement of banks in planning and
preparation of project report, identification of activityclusters for infrastructural planning, selection of
swarojgaris, their capacity building, pre-credit and post-
credit monitoring activities.
Subsidy under SGSY is back-ended which is given to
swarojgaris as prescribed below.
For individual Swarojgaris .. 30% of project
cost subject to maximum of Rs.7500/-. In case ofSC,ST and disabled swarojgaries, the subsidy shall
be 50% of the project cost or Rs.10,000/-,
whichever is less.
For Self Help Groups . . 50% o f Proj ec t cost
subject to a maximum of Rs.1.25 lakh orRs.10,000/- per SHG member, whichever is lesser
However, there is no monetary limit on subsidy
for irrigation projects. (i.e. subsidy for irrigationproject will be 50% of the project cost without
any financial limit.)
Government of Orissa have launched 'Mission
Shakti' programme in 2001 with an aim to have at least
3 lakh Women Self Help Groups by the end of 2008.SGSY has contributed substantially in carrying forward
the Mission Shakti activities in the State.
The financial and physical performance under SGSY
district-wise for 2006-07 and 2007-08 is given at page
Annex-1 to 4.
SPECIAL PROJECT
Special Project under SGSY is a focused time
bound programme for bringing a specific number of
BPL families above poverty line through Self EmploymentProgramme. It is sanctioned by Government of India
from the 15% of fund under SGSY set apart at nationallevel for such initiative. In Orissa the following 3 Special
Projects have been sanctioned and implemented.
1) Creation of integrated marketing network
for rural products
It is implemented by ORMAS with a cost of Rs.9.83

Tribal Artisans in West Bengal & Orissa
It is implemented by Eastern Zonal Cultural
Centre (EZCC),Calcutta with an estimated cost

Rs.28.35 lakhs as Ist instalment out ofRs.70,86,750/- of State Share and Government in
Culture Department has contributed Rs.18.90
lakhs for successful implementation of the project.The project is continuing.
1) Coverage of Specially Disadvantaged
people under SGSY
Though SGSY advocates for more and more
group financing, the need for individual financing in
case of specially disadvantaged people (who may notbe conveniently formed into groups) cannot be over
emphasized. But it is found that over the years sincelaunching of SGSY in the year 2000-2001, the share of
individual financing has reduced drastically and in theyear 2006-07 only 2% of the SGSY beneficiaries had
been financed individually. There were some districts
where no individual financing was made. Consideringthis, the Government in the year 2006-07 decided to
fix 10% of the physical target under SGSY formanadatory coverage of dis-advantaged people by
individual SGSY financing.
2) Planned investment under SGSY Infrastructure
In the year 2007-08, the State Govt. decided to use funds under SGSY Infrastructure for the followinginfrastructural development in the State in a planned manner.
1. Training-cum-Production Centres for Women Self Help Groups
