Community Participation for Growth • The BNVs way………. K.CHANDRAMOULI, IAS AMR-APARD
Yawing gaps in implementing programs • Affects delivery benefits • Gram Panchayats – grass roots level PRIs • Expected to plan • Raise resources • Coordinate • Monitor • Evaluate • Influence • But they are poorly equipped • Inadequate knowledge about programs
Result : • 64 years of post independent era • Eventful journey • Our plans guided the development trajectory of many developing countries • But we are grappling with • Rs. 800,000 crs. Of MoRD’s annual outlays • Rs.800,000 crs. Of States & Uts outlays • Only to improve Quality of life of rural areas and outcomes ?
Flagship programmes don’t converge People don’t participate Community doesn’t involve in planning Leakages Allocations are not spent Deliverables not measured Outcomes don’t sustain People don’t own
Community involvement through : • PRA • PLA • PUA • PALM and many • Tried and failed again
One more / last approach • Now, the community engagement through the youth called BNVs • Young men and women • Above 18 years • From the same village • Purely voluntary • Made aware of issues / possibilities • 40 households attached to each BNV • Delivery of services facilitated • Act as a bridge between the service delivery dept and service demanding community • Nation Building Service
Impact : • One year old • Effecting change in the households attached • Enable the benefits to reach the unreached • Flagship programs converge • HENSGDEE became popular • Working towards MDGs • Villages accessing • Social audit
For what good ? • Liquor banned • Panparag / Ghutka • No smoking • Plastics banned • 100% enrolment • 100% institutional deliveries • Total Sanitation • Clean potable drinking water • Roads, electricity • Solar energy
Long pending issues / Land / ration cards resolved • No police / court cases • No diarrhoeal episodes • Gender related good • Environmental sustainability • And many more !
