“Heritage is not confined to Palaces and Forts. Democracy and Heritage in India is kept alive by rural artisans. Though poverty is still around, the will of the Govt. of Rajasthan is to reduce the poverty of the artisans and keep the art alive by their empowerment through RUDA’s good effort. Job well done”.

Narpat Singh Rajvi, Industries Minister, Rajasthan

RNFS NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

“Rajasthan has been a pioneer in establishing an independent agency adopting the sub-sector approach , which is professionally managed and has a clear understanding of RNFS issues.”

Prabhu Ghate, TheWorld Bank

Comments

What we set out to do ?

MoU – I (September 2003 – June 2005)

700 Craft Micro – Enterprises CIGs

MoU – II (July 2005 – June 2007)

401 Craft Micro – Enterprises CIGs

(Revised Targets)


What we could not do ?

MoU – I (2003 – 2006)

Programme – 700

Achievement – 207

Shortfalls – 493 (70.43%)

MoU – II (2006 – 2007)

Revised Programme – 401

Achievement – 310

Shortfalls – 91 (21%)


Why ?

Low preference for craft based enterprises among CIGs

- only 529 craft sub projects proposed for appraisal out

of 700 identified CIGs

CIGs drop out from craft based enterprises to other

choices.

NGO drop out from programme on account of structural

problems.

DPIP goes the IRDP way by preferring goatry and

livestock projects.


Cumbersome sanctioning procedures/piece meal sanctions /chronic delays at DPM offices
