Need to emphasize on oral modes of
communication as opposed to written
Need to increase awareness on entitlements
![Page 24: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Targeting leads to marginalisation of the
deserving people due to rigid eligibility
criteria
![Page 29: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Engaged women and old-people
Minimal amount trickling down to the poorest
No asset creation
People rarely finish 100 days of work
Mixed response to its dilution (case study)
![Page 31: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Mandal Raipur
• Dependent on cattle-rearing/agriculture
• Migration – limited to few women and old people
• Problems in implementation
• Dependent entirely on manual labour, no land holdings
• Popular among men, women and the aged
• Relatively better implementation but no alternative anyway
![Page 33: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Crucial rights-based legislation for people with no
alternative means of employment
Effective distributive policy that empowers villages
with a significant influx of funds
Empowerment tool
![Page 34: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Dilutes difference between the policy and it’s implementation – conspicuous absence of awareness
Building a comprehensive policy that does not address issues in isolation but integrates them. For example: building houses under NREGA, instead of separate housing and employment schemes
![Page 35: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Desired Policy Target:
Development in rural India seen largely from the lens
of infrastructure development
Provision of basic infrastructural facilities to all
people residing in rural India
![Page 36: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NREGA: no asset creation
Absence of Electricity
Absence of gravel roads
Lack of Sanitation and clean drinking water
![Page 37: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

![Page 39: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Intends to universalize basic infrastructure amenities
that are crucial to improvement of human life.
![Page 41: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Inflexible policies tend to exclude vast numbers of
population from acquiring basic facilities. Ex. 1 hand
pump per 250 people
Does not universalize basic amenities
![Page 42: Field work on policy : Rural challenge.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042701/559ed8f01a28abc0428b4619/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Grievance redress only the first step to effective policy implementation!
