PERSPECTIVE PLAN

NATIONAL FOOD FOR WORK

PROGRAMME (NFFWP)

Objective - comprehensive perspective plan of five years

That would enable develop all the Panchayats of

the 150 most backward districts during the 5

years period of 2005-2010 in such a way that

there is visible impact on the major problems of

each Panchayat and a sound base is created for

self sustaining economy to remove poverty

and bring these Districts at least at par

with other developed areas of the state

and the country.

It will facilitate optimizing all resources available

under all the developmental programmes operational

at the panchayat level

To provide best possible and meaningful option for

convergence/dovetailing of all such

programmes to derive maximum benefit in favour of

the rural poor especially with regard to generation

of employment opportunities both in terms of

wage and self employment through creation of need

based optimum infrastructure at the panchayat

level in the short term and develop self sustaining

robust panchayat economy In the long run.

Preparing the Perspective Plan

Survey each village and panchayat in the district to

collect data on

A. Existing economy infrastructure needs and to

B. Assess feasibility of projects to be included in

the plan

Rough cost estimate for project/works suggested

must be given based on acceptable parameters and they

may be indicated in the plan document.

The people involved in perspective plan preparation

Consolidation and preparation of final document – AMR-APARD

Training of trainers at District level (~40 officers) – AMR-APARD

TOTs – Senior Level Officers / special officers in the District

Training of Mandal level resource persons – ToTs

Perspective plan preparation of each village with the participation of primary stakeholders and facilitation by Mandal level resource persons.

PERSPECTIVE PLAN OF THE DISTRICTThe perspective plan will be a comprehensive document with several chapters

The information for the district as a whole on - demography - SC/ST, women and children population with work force divided into employed, semi-employed, unemployed, occupational distribution, month wise rainfall distribution, depth of water table, depletion rate, gender-wise illiteracy, main crops, number of crops per year, per hectare productivity, type of soil, agriculture productivity per worker, distribution of average land holding, average size of tilling,distribution of commercial/Regional Rural Bank, availability of bank branches per sq. km, potential occupation, service and industry.

CHAPTER-1

CHAPTER-II

Scheme-wise availability of resources of the district as a whole in respect of all employment and development oriented Programme such as

Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY),

Rashtriya Sam Vikas Yojana (RSVY),

Watershed development programmes (such as IWDP, DPAP, DDP)

PMRY (its share for rural segment),

Rural Employment Generation Programme of KVIC, Sampoorna Grameena Rozgar Yojana (SGRY)

MPLAD, MLALAD

NFFWP and

all other Centrally and state sponsored programmes

Block-wise breakup of

distribution/availability of resources

under the above programmes along with

the present status of number of

persons unemployed/ semi-employed

may be given.

Location/area specific kinds/types of infrastructure, which are

expected in the Panchayat.

(i)  One panchayat Ghar

(ii) One primary/secondary school building sufficient for the number of

children studying.

(iii) One low cost storage go down for storing food grains

(iv) Tube/open wells (whichever is relevant in that area) for drinking /

irrigation purpose.

(v) Internal roads providing connectivity with main roads

(vi) Drainage / nallah to drain out extra water in the water logged/flood

prone areas

(vii) Dairy/Veterinary development infrastructure.

(viii) Erection of permanent /pucca embankment for flood protection

(IX) Small check dams, water conservation activities like digging of

ponds/percolation tanks and de-silting of ponds

(x) Strengthening of marketing infrastructure at local Panchayat

haats / market such as construction of permanent sheds and low

cost community storage godowns for safe storage of goods etc.

(xi)  Individual/community horticulture/social forestry development.

(xii) Any other facility considered essential on the local needs.

* - The above list of infrastructure is only illustrative and not

exhaustive. It is possible that some of the above infrastructure may

not be suitable for a particular state / district / panchayat but may

be relevant in other. As such, the above list may be modified and

prepared taking into account local needs and aspirations.

CHAPTER-III

Details on Panchayat –wise (i) list of infrastructure already

existing and (ii). List of infrastructure that are missing out

of the list given at Section-B, Chapter –11 (iii) requirement

of resources for creation of missing infrastructure along

with Programme-wise inflow/share of the Panchayat out of

all development programmes listed at Section-A of

chapter-11 and (iv) estimated employment generation in

terms of both self and wage employment while creating

missing infrastructure .

The above information is to be given year-wise.

While assessing resource inflow from all sources, 15% for

maintenance of assets already created /being created be

shown separately and as such only 85% of the total inflow may

be taken in to account for showing resource inflow for creation of

assets.

The above Panchayat–wise list of missing infrastructure

have to be prepared in a manner that each missing infrastructure

will give a clear cut idea under which Programme it is proposed

with estimated cost and the number of expected beneficiaries to

be covered under self and wage employment.

Incase of wage employment, number of man-day’s generation is to be

divided by 100 to arrive at number of persons to be employed.

All activities /works shown under the existing Programme have to be

implemented in accordance with their respective Programme

guidelines. If any activity which is permissible under more than one

Programme, it may be shown under that Programme which has larger

share for that Panchayat.

It should, however, be ensured that one activity is shown under one

Programme only with the stipulation that is completed during one

financial year it self. Spillover to the next year may be indicated in

exceptional cases where inflow of resources is limited during the year.

Estimated cost may be shown increased 5 to 10% every year while

showing year-wise activities to be taken up.

Block-wise exercise by consolidating

panchayat–wise information under respective

Block (Mandal) may be take-up.

Summary for each Block separately to indicate

Infrastructure wise details giving

Year wise cost estimates and

Expected employment generation may be given

Segregate Panchayat-wise activities /works those indicated against the NFFWP quota.

Panchayat-wise and year-wise works/activities to be taken up under the NFFWP with clear cut prioritization will have to be given.
