GIS assisted micro planning - Community led engagement process adding more value

This approach integrates GIS-assisted micro planning with community engagement to enhance climate-resilient development. It incorporates climate-resilient planning processes for Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDP) and aligns with Sustainable Development Goals. Through a participatory process, it converges schemes, focuses on basic facilities, and utilizes tools like the Plan Plus online portal. By mapping SDGs to nodal ministries and flagship programs, it aims to achieve SDG 1 - No Poverty through schemes like MGNREGS. A dashboard tracks the impact of MGNREGS on multiple SDGs and indicators. The approach involves community-led micro-planning, using GIS tools like Bhuvan Portal and QGIS. It follows watershed principles, vulnerability rankings, and climate sensitivity to incorporate a climate-resilient lens in planning. The process includes steps for community-led micro-planning in selected areas, like the Chuhari village in Chhattisgarh. By involving the community in data collection and planning, it aims to create climate-resilient infrastructure while balancing technology and community knowledge.

  1. GIS assisted micro planning - Community led engagement process adding more value An Approach to Incorporate Climate Resilient Planning Process

  2. About State Background-Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) • Integrated Participatory Planning Exercise and approval by Gram Sabha • Integrated with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) • Convergence of schemes and programmes • Basic facilities and infrastructure like drinking water, Health and Education • Online portal & MIS- Plan Plus ( GP level plan entered, compiled and approval)

  3. MGNREGS and SDGs • The SDGs and targets have been mapped to various nodal ministries and flagship programmes by the NITI Aayog. • Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) is the designated nodal agency for achieving SDG 1 – No Poverty. • MGNREGS has been recognised as ‘core of the core’ scheme for achieving SDG 1. MGNREGS was reported in the Voluntary National Review 2017 by Government of India for its contribution to achieving SDG 1, while the scheme’s other contributions are to – SDG 5 – Gender Equality, SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities

  4. MGNREGS-SDG Dashboard • Based on the current data available on the NREGASoft Management Information System (www.nrega.nic.in), the MGNREGS-SDG dashboard has been developed to show impact of MGNREGS on 6 SDGs, 11 targets and 15 indicators. With further data collection and empirical studies, MGNREGS has the potential to show impact on 13 SDGs, 27 targets and 42 indicators. Source: http://www.mgnregs-sdg.in/index.html

  5. Planning through • Community led engagement in planning throughout • GIS assisted micro planning • Bhuvan Portal • Google earth pro • QGIS • GlobberMapper etc

  6. What Difference? • GIS based micro planning • Engagement of the community and the interaction at every stage • Follows watershed principles • Based on vulnerability and climate sensitivity ranking • Incorporate climate resilient lens in planning

  7. Selected Area for Micro-Planning • The selected Chuhari villages is part of Chuhari Panchayat and is located in the Eastern district of Mahasamund in Chhattisgarh • The Chuhari Panchayat is consists of 3-villages. • The areas of Chuhari village is 125 Ha. and the latitude and longitude of the village are 21.40 N, 82.25 E. • The average annual rain fall of the area is 1373 mm. • The digitized map of village Chuhari and its location in Mahasamund district are shown in the diagram on left.

  8. Community Led Micro-Planning Steps • Village identification-Based on primary, secondary and Metrological data • GIS and remote sensing data collection- procured to prepare the digitised maps for micro-watershed area, • Building trust and Interaction with village community- with printouts of GIS based maps to understand the main issues and to collect the primary data. • Marking of micro watershed areas - on digitized maps • Re-confirm the available technical details – Boundary and other information • Effective micro-planning- marked on the basis of technical perspectives.

  9. Use of GIS Applications Land use Map Lineament Map Drainage Pattern Map of the Area Soil Erosion Map Ground Water Status Map

  10. Community Led Micro-Planning Steps • Water budgeting- based on available resources (resource estimation method and community knowledge) • information about current cropping pattern, water use, irrigation pumping, crop productivity, available water harvesting structures, large water bodies near the village and livestock population was discussed with the communities. • Rapid vulnerability assessment- Bio-physical and socio-economic status of communities • Micro-planning exercise- with community members of village and identify available Government Schemes to leverage the funds for implementation • Design additional measures- for the soil and water conservation measures

  11. Community Led Micro-Planning Steps • The recommendations have been made for creating climate resilient infrastructure around the soil and water conservation structures with the help of introduction of permanent measures (vegetative cover) and multi-purpose varieties of trees, shrubs, grasses, fruit trees, etc. • Finally, location, size and cost estimates for each of the proposed measures were finalised and plotted on the micro-watershed map of the village. Micro-Watershed Wise Conservation Measures Map

  12. Expected Outcomes

  13. Value Addition • Balanced use of technology and community knowledge in planning • Ensured community buy-in due to involvement at each stage of planning and selection of conservation measures and their location • Integrated climate change aspects to safeguard against changing climatic patterns • Integrated resilience building measures to build local capacities and to ensure additional livelihood generation opportunities • Mapped ground water, land use, soil and other resources to support effective monitoring of the changes due to the implementation of the project • Established baseline to compare the changes over a period of time • Demonstrated climate resilient infrastructure planning and implementation to ensure sustainability of natural resources

  14. Scale-Up Potential • The micro-planning approach feeds directly to the MGNREGS which has funds available for Natural Resource Management Works • The entire approach followed by Department of Panchayat & Rural Development has excellent amount of focus on improved natural resources management. • The DP&RD should give improved emphasis on community led micro-planning while finalising the “Works” under MGNREGA. The demonstrated approach by ACT Program can be adopted for improved planning. • The micro-plans for the villages in different districts in the state can be prepared following the Chuhari village model. It is simple and easy to implement but it incorporates a) Community knowledge and b) Climate resilience building aspects. For 2019-20 GPDP plans, 2 villages from each block is being designed with GIS based micro-planning
