INTRODUCTION

The Rural Development Department was created on 1st July 1990 to deal with

Minor Irrigation, Lift Irrigation, Rural Road, Rural Water Supply and Sanitation

sectors. Later, in 1996, the Department was restructured and Minor Irrigation andLift Irrigation were transferred to Water Resources Department, thus bringingtogether all irrigation works under one Department. The Rural Development

Department in its present form consists of two organizations, (i) Rural Works and(ii) Rural Water Supply & Sanitation.

In order to improve the quality of life in rural areas and address the multi-dimensional problems of people living in those areas, several programmes have

been conceived and implemented. The success of a rural development programmelargely depends upon organizational arrangements and adoption of an appropriate

strategy for optimum utilization of resources and opportunities.

Rural WorkedROADS

Road connections to +38,484 villages above 1000 population and all 20,867

habitations above 500 population in hilly and tribal areas.

Bharat Nirman - Rural Roads

To upgrade rural infrastructure, the Government of India has conceived a time-

bound business plan under Bharat Nirman. It is a flagship programme for the

country. A commitment of over Rs.1,74,000 crores has been made to Bharat

Nirman with the objective of unleashing the growth potential of our villages. As

part of the programme, Government of India intends that by end of financial year

20082009, every village of over 1000 population, or over 500 in hilly and tribal

areas, has an all-weather road.

To achieve the targets of Bharat Nirman, 1,46,185 kms. of road length is proposed

to be constructed by 2009. This will benefit 66,802 unconnected eligible

habitations in the country. To ensure full farm to market connectivity, it is also

proposed to upgrade 1,94,132 kms. of the existing Associated Through Routes. A

sum of approximately Rs.48,000 crore is proposed to be invested to achieve this

New Initiatives.

The Rural Road Programme has taken many new initiatives and established several newstandards in its endeavour to construct roads of the highest possible quality. The new initiatives

taken as part of the programme include the following.

Formulation of District Rural Roads Plan - For the first time systematic District RuralRoads Plans have been prepared listing out the complete network of all roads in the

district i.e., Village Roads, Major District Roads, State Roads and National Highways.The concept of Core Network has been operationalised for the first time in order to focus

on the set of roads which are considered essential to provide connectivity to all

habitations of the desired size. The Core Network is the basic instrumentality for

prioritization of construction and allocation of funds for maintenance. Action has beeninitiated to develop GIS-based applications to further enhance the utility of the Core

Network, and discussion has been held with C-DAC for the purpose.

Preparation of a 20 years Vision Document - The Indian Roads Congress has beenrequested to prepare a 20 years perspective plan for rural roads in consultation with the

State Governments in order to give policy direction and to identify management,technical and capacity issues that need to be addressed. The Document is likely to be

ready by November, 2005.

Consultation with public representatives - The PMGSY has an inbuilt mechanism forconsultation with public representatives from Panchayat to Parliament at various points

of the programme.Consultations with Members of Parliament are held at both the CoreNetwork finalisation and Annual Proposals stages.In addition, at the stage of preparing

DPRs, the DPIU conducts a transect walk along the road alignment, involving the localPanchayat.

Rural Roads Manual - Following the launch of the PMGSY, the Ministry of RuralDevelopment constituted 3 Committees in January 2001 to go into various aspects ofrural road construction and the manuals on these different aspects brought out by the

committees were combined into a separate Rural Roads Manual and published as an

IRC publication (IRC:SP 20-2002) in supercession of an earlier manual. This Manual isnow the basis of all works under the PMGSY.

Outsourcing of technical and management inputs - In order to manage the programme atthe national level and yet ensure that adequate technical inputs are locally available forplanning and execution of rural roads programme, an elaborate structure consisting of

Principal Technical Agencies (national level technical institutions) as well as State

Technical Agencies (regional level technical institutions) has been successfully broughtinto the framework of the programme planning and execution through a Government

academia partnership. Project Implementation Consultants (PIC) and Project

Management Consultants are being outsourced on ACBS basis to help States expandimplementational capacity.


3/9

Rural Road Safety -The State Governments have been requested that the Head of theDPIUs may be included into the District Rural Road Safety Committee and the State

Quality Coordinator for PMGSY may be nominated to the State Roads Safety Council

and to issue suitable instructions to ensure that these institutions meet with the requisite

frequency.

Maintenance -The roads are constructed by the State Governments and are to be maintained by

them. The State Government are required to furnish a certificate to the effect that the provision

of funds for maintenance has been made in the State Budget separately for PMGSY Roads. TheState Government willalso be required to give approval for routine maintenance of every work in

the proposal.The estimates of each work under PMGSY will be made in two parts.The first part

will be the estimate for Construction of the Road and the second part will be the estimate of year

wise routine maintenance for 5 years. In respect of rural Through Routes taken up under PMGSYthere will be a second 5-year maintenance contract on Batch basis, in order to cover the design

life of 10 years.

PRADHAN MANTRI GRAM SADAK YOJANA (PMGSY)-

A PROGRAMME FOR COMPLETE RURAL CONNECTIVITY

The programme, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), waslaunched on 25th December 2000 by Honble Prime Minister at New Delhi and

simultaneously by Honble Chief Minister Sri Navin Patnaik in Orissa. The


6/9

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is a 100% Centrally Sponsored

Scheme. 50% of the Cess on High Speed Diesel (HSD) is earmarked for thisProgramme.

The primary objective of the PMGSY is to provide Connectivity, by wayof an All-weather Road (with necessary culverts and cross-drainage structures,

which is operable throughout the year), to the unconnected Habitations in therural areas, in such a way that Habitations with a population of 1000 persons

and above are covered in three years (2000-2003) and all UnconnectedHabitations with a population of 500 persons and above by the end of the Tenth

Plan Period (2007). In respect of the Hill States (North-East, Sikkim, HimachalPradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttaranchal) and the Desert Areas (as identified in

the Desert Development Programme) as well as the Tribal (Schedule V) areas,the objective would be to connect Habitations with a population of 250 persons

and above.

Objectives:

(i) To provide road connectivity to the villages through good all-weather roads, toall rural habitations with a population of more than 500 persons by the year 2007

(end of Tenth Plan period). In the process, all unconnected habitations having a

population of more than 1000 persons would be covered in the next three years.

Accordingly, for the year 2000-2001, the Programme would cover Habitationshaving a population of more than 1000 persons. Where a State has no uncovered

Habitations of this population size, smaller Habitations may also be covered,subject to the minimum population size being 500. In case of hilly/desert tracts,this may not be less than 250.

(ii) The primary focus of the Programme will be on construction of new roads.However, upgradation (to prescribed standards) of existing roads will be permitted

to be taken up so as to achieve connectivity through good all-weather roads onlyafter all villages have been provided with connectivity. Upgradation would involve

conversion, depending on the need, of gravel roads/ Water Bound Macadam

(WBM) roads to Black-Topped(B.T). Extension of existing roads to the SC/STHabitation in the village would also be covered under upgradation. Upgradationwould, however, not cover repairs of existing roads.

IMPLEMENTATION & EXECUTIONUnder this programme the projects to be completed in 9 months - extendable to 12

months in exceptional cases. There will be competitive bidding for packages andthe specifications of MOST and IRC to be followed. No time/cost overrun will be


7/9

borne by Govt. of India. Suitable penalty clauses will be provided to avoid such

contingencies. The standard of the road will be high so that no repairs will beneeded for 5 years. Roadwork to be photographed at 3 stages - beginning, middle

and at final stages. Ministry of Rural Development to engage IndependentMonitors for works inspection and monitoring.

In Orissa, the Rural Development Department is the executing agency for PMGSY.There are 29 Project Implementation Units for 30 districts each headed by the

Executive Engineer (Rural Works). State Level Agency named Orissa State Rural

Road Agency has been registered under the Society Registration Act, 1860 underthe Chairmanship of Honble Minister for Rural Development. Govt. of India is

providing the funds for PMGSY through this Agency. Funds have been released to

OSRRAs Bank Account and at the time of payment the funds it is to betransferred to the earmarked bank account of Executive Engineers of the concerned

Division. There is a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to prepare core networkplans, master plan for each block & district take approval of concerned ZillaParishad before sending it to Govt. and to look after the works.

Technical Specification of the worksThe specifications for construction of new roads have been adopted as per IRC

Guidelines with a carriage way of 3.75 mtr. with a top formation of 7.5 metres.Top formation can be of 6 m. width & carriage way 3 m. width if traffic intensity is

below 100 motor vehicles per day. Provision has been made for two layers of IRCGrade-II metalling, one layer of IRC Grade-III metalling, surface dressing and seal

coating. The embankment height has been kept at 0.6 mtr. above the local floodinglevel. For poor sub-grade and black-cotton areas, adequate depth of sand and

morrum filling base have been provided. Provision for necessary C.D. Works hasalso been made in the estimate.

For improvement of the existing roads, balance requirements of sub-gradeimprovement, metalling, surface dressing and seal coating have been provided.

In each district the number of works in a particular Block has been grouped to formone package and for convenience of execution.

PIUs (Project Implementation Units) have been setup at Division level headed by

Asst. Engineer/Asst. Executive Engineer for the proper implementation of PMGSY

work.The Core Network Plans, District Rural Road Plan have been prepared. Each road

to be taken under PMGSY has to be approved by the concerned Zilla Parishads.

Selection of roads

A Core Network, the minimal network of roads (routes) that is essential to

provide basic access to essential social economic services to all eligible habitationsin the selected areas. It consists of the existing roads as well as all the roads


8/9

proposed for New Connectivity. The roads taken under PMGSY is part of the Core

Network and duly approved by concerned Zilla Parishad.

Monitoring

As per the guidelines, the works under PMGSY are being monitored on three-tirebasis. The first one is through PIUs, 2 nd is through State Quality Monitors,

deployed by State Govt., and the 3 rd is through National Quality Monitors,

deployed by the Govt. of India. The retired engineers (SE and above) are engagedas Quality. The works are also being monitored on online basis.

CONCLUSION

Rural development is a process of qualitative and quantitative changes to improve

conditions in rural regions. Such a process needs to be an integrated programme where allaspects of rural life should be taken into account. The rural underprivileged must receive

Non-formal Education essentially to become literate and employable in better jobs.

Generally the non-formal stream of education can be divided into three groups: (1)

literacy for non school going children, (2) vocational education and family welfareprogrammes for youth and (3) functional literacy and self-employment programme foradults. Through this study, an attempt is made to find out the impad of Non-Formal

Education to the uplift of the rural coastal people. The system of NFE now emerged as a

complementay of formal system of education. The area ofNFE is vast and wide, andcannot be brought into a specific framework. The present study tries to analyse and

evaluate certain specific programmes, which is more suitable to the development of ruralpoor with modifications. Th~sk ind of education will have been more scope in the future

in a county like India. The majority of the rural people are deprived of adequate

educational facilities. Rural development has received a priority attention in our country.

Since India got independence, nation wide rural development programmes were started

by the Government of India with the objective of socio-economic development of rural

people.NFEprogrammes give prior attention to rural development. Non-FormalEducation has its own role to play in development. It can provide the knowledge withwhich we can develop the kind of socio-cultural settings that will met the pressing

demands of our time.Development is a process of liberating the individual and society

with fullest utilization ofphysical as well as human resources. Education and morespecifically Non-Formal Education is viewed as a component within the existing socio-

economic-political framework. NFE through its multifarious programmes of literacy,

numeracy, functionality and social awareness and raising the quality of life of an

individual through changes in attitudes, habits and ways of personal life. Functional

literacy and extension through NFE programmes simultaneously contribute to higher

productivity through job oriented courses, improvement in the existing techniques of


9/9

production and quantitative and qualitative development in human resources.

Developmental agencies, who are already functioning in the process ofdevelopmental

programmes, closely work with Non-Formal Education. Programmes of improved health

and sanitation, better environmental conservation, improved social relationships,

sustained preservation of culture etc.
