41,561 which accounts to 9.92% (SCSP)

Denied budget allocation, Rs. Cr. 26327 (39% ) in SCSP and Rs. Cr.

As per policy guidelines SCSP should be at least in proportion of

percentage of SC and ST population (16.2 for SCP and 8.2 for TSP).

This years budget for SCSP and TSP shown a minor increaseof 0.43 %

and 0.32%, respectively comparing with last year budget i.e.

2012-13.Whereas, overall budget shown the growth of 29.4 per cent.

• 25 Ministries/department have allocated for SCSP and 32 for TSP for this

year. Under TSP, 53 new schemes with the budget of Rs. 760.89 crores and

similar number of new schemes under SCSP.

• Ministry of Tribal Affair, Drinking water and sanitation, Rural department,

School education and literacy, health and Family welfare has shown an in

the increased the budget.

• In 2013-14 under SCSP, only 12 Ministries/Departments had made allocations

for SC Women amounting to 29% of the total SCSP. It is found that ministries/

department, like Home Affairs, Drinking water and Sanitation,

Telecommunication, Sports and Youth affairs, Culture, Earth Science, which

also contribute to women’s development have yet to make specific SC

Women focused programmes. A similar trend is also observed under TSP.

Key recommendation of Narendra JadhavTask force

1)Earmark funds under SCSP/TSP from the Plan outlay, at least in proportion of their population

2)Percentage share of allocation in 4 categories. Catergory Ino obligation to earmark plan funds under SCSP and TSP assuming that it will be difficult to quantify the benefit to SCs and STs.

Status in 2013-14 Budget and scope of improvement

Far short, Rs. Cr. 26327.89 (39% ) in SCSP and Rs. Cr. 9765.19(28%) in for TSP, of the recommended allocations by the Task Force.

Ministries/ Deptsclassified under category –I have significant importance in development. However,onexamination of these below mentioned Dept., it is possible to have divisible schemes that will directly benefit SCs and ST

Sectoral Growth Rates – Previous Plans and Target for Twelfth Plan

Note : * It is likely that on revision of farm sector GDP growth rates for the previous year and an expected good harvest in 2011-12, the average for the Eleventh Plan may be higher at 3.3 – 3.5 per

cent.

Broad Macro-Economic Parameters – Previous Plans and Targets for Twelfth Plan

Decentralised Plan

‘Gram swaraj’- Most remarkable and accepted by one and all : All problems

whether Administrative or Social,Political, or Economic can be resolved by

People’s Participation, through Panchayat Raj .. Net work of Panchayats

spread over

“In this structure composed of innumerable villages, there will be ever

widening, never ascending, circles. Life will not be a pyramid with the apex

sustained by the bottom. But, it will be an oceanic circle, whose centre will

be the individual, always ready to perish for the village, the latter ready to

perish for the circle of the villages, till at last the whole becomes one life

composed of individuals, never aggressive in their arrogance, but ever

humble, sharing the majesty of the oceanic circle of which they are

integrated units. Therefore, the outermost circumference will not wield

power to crush the inner circle, but will give strength to all within and will

derive its own strength from it.”

Mahatma Gandhi

•

Decentralised Planning-Overall approach, concepts, roles clarity

District Plans• Development through Sectoral Schemes &

programmes of uniform nature – Limited outcome and wastage of Resources

• 73rd,74th Amendments mandated local planning at the village panchayat, Intermediary and district levels as well as in urban local bodies

• Even after a lapse of nearly 2 decades, since the Constitution mandated there has been little progress

• District Planning: An Integrated Plan taking into account the resources covering sectoral activities, and those implemented through local governments.

• Physical integration of Plans of Rural and Urban

Local bodies implemented within geographical

confines of the district.

• Integration of NGOs, Financial Institutions

• Constitution of Dist. Planning Committees (DPC)

• Preparation of District Plans, Village plans

• Vision Document for 10-15 years

• Technical support group to be constituted to assist

the DPC

• Development Village and District Plans communicate

to all Districts – Organize orientation programmes at

district and Panchayat levels.

• Vision document

• should be based on data strengthen district data base orgainzation both government and private

• Document to clearly identify the key reasons for backwardness and address issues impeding development and should cover;

1. Agriculture & Allied sector

2. Availability and development of water resources

3. Industries- SMEs , Food processing

4. Infrastructure

5. Drinking water & sanitation

6. Literacy, School education

7. Health

8. Poverty Reduction

9. Gender & Children

10. Social Justice –SC/ST- Weaker sections : Sub Plan Implemenation

Inclusive Growth

• For growth to be inclusive, it must create adequate livelihood

opportunities and add to decent employment commeensurate with the

expectations of growing labour force.

• Indian “Demographic Dividend” can be realised only, if the extent of

quality of education and skill development among the workforce is

greatly enhanced.

• 66th Round of NSSO Survey on Employment (2009-10) reveal that the

number of young people in education and therefore out of workforce

increased dramatically causing drop in labour participation rate.

Plan towards Faster and Inclusive GrowthFor growth to be more inclusive we need:

•Better performance in agriculture : Increase the allocations Identifying the sectors. • Faster creation of jobs, especially in manufacturing

•Stronger efforts at health, education and skill development

•Improve effectiveness of programmes directly aimed at the poor

•Special programmes for socially vulnerable groups Ensure implementation of Tribal, S.C. Sub-Plans.

•Special plans for disadvantaged/backward regions: To remove disparities

Strengthening Gram Sabhas

• Define roles, responsibilities and power of Gram Sabha, outline clearer responsibilities in planning, implementation and monitoring of most of the local level interventions by all tiers of governments.

• Focus on the potentials of youth in local governance.

• Clarify roles of various sub committees of the local governments
