CHALLENGES TO ADDRESS RURAL POVERTY
• Skilled manpower is a vital ingredient for promotion of micro-enterprises;
• Promoting the viability of self-help groups;
• Providing skilled manpower for the organized industry
• The MGNREGS program is expected to be executed largely on watershed
basis to realize long term outcomes of investments.
• Promotion of well-regulated markets for land, labour and goods & services
will be critical
• Measures for revival of Primary Agricultural Co-Operatives Societies
(PACS) should be taken up to help BPL households
• In rural housing, considerable divergence in design may have to be
permitted, especially in view of paucity of land in villages adjoining urban
areas.
• Criteria devised in Socio-economic and caste census, 2011 by MoRD is suggested to be revisited as below:
Present criteria suggested by MoRD Suggestion for revising the criteria
A house hold will be excluded
automatically if it owns Motorized
Two / Three / Four Wheeler /
Fishing Boat
A household will be excluded automatically if
it owns Three/Four Wheeler / Fishing Boat.
(Two wheeler may not be considered for
exclusion as, now a days the casual
labour/plumber-carpenter – construction
workers are required to maintain two
wheeler for going to place of work)
The households with only one room
with Kutcha walls and kutcha roof is
considered under deprivation
indicator
The households with one /two rooms with
Kutcha walls and kutcha roof may be
considered under deprivation indicator
The SC/ST household are considered
under deprivation indicator
Over and above the SC/ST households, the
nomadic tribes households may also be
considered under deprivation criteria
ADDRESSING URBAN POVERTY
• Slum improvement programmes should be encouraged which focus
basic services i.e. drainage, safe drinking water, health service, street
roads and a participative, in-situ slum rehabilitation approach
• Inner-city slum redevelopment programmes for creating a better
environment should also be encouraged with cross-subsidization
• Land pooling and sharing arrangements need to be encouraged
• Slums on private land could be developed by giving additional
FSI/TDR to the owner for providing in-situ housing to existing slum
dwellers.
• Expenditure to be shared between GoI, State Government and ULB

KAUSALYA VARDHAN KENDRA
GARIB KALYAN MELA • Garib Kalyan Mela is a unique experiment in the
direction of ‘Swaraj’ and ‘Sarvodaya’ as envisaged by Mahatma Gandhi with the following objectives:
• Speedy disposal of cases of individual beneficiary schemes
• Delivery of benefits on the spot • Awareness about Government schemes • Transparency • Elimination of middle men • Participation of people in developmental
process • Garib Kalyan Melas were organized in seven
phases during 2009-10 to 2014-15 • Total 1225 Melas have been arranged and
financial assistance of Rs 13388.50 crore have been allotted to the 89.49 lakh BPL beneficiaries
ELIMINATING MIDDLE MEN – GARIB KALYAN MELA CONVERGENCE WITH UID & SECC-2011
• Unique ID (Aadhaar) helps in reducing identity fraud and allow the targeted
people to get the benefits
• With the help of UID Project and its up-to-date Core Database (CDB) having
information regarding residents of India.
• CDB is accessible to all departments for identification of residents, enabling
better delivery of various government services
• Potentials of UID frame work needs to be explored and on the basis of SECC,
2011. For instance, the most deprived should be found through SECC, 2011
and based on requirements, benefits should get transferred.
• Such approach through Garib Kalyan Mela with SECC, 2011 and Unique ID, will
create more focused and targeted direct benefit transfer, reducing cost and
most importantly, removing middlemen in transferring benefits.
