4. MAHATMA GANDHI NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT

GUARANTEE SCHEME – KARNATAKA

Objectives of the Scheme:

The primary objective of the scheme is to provide livelihood security to the

households of the rural area by providing not less than 100 days of guaranteed wage

employment in every financial year to every house hold whose adult members volunteer to do

unskilled and manual work. In this backdrop, Central Government in association with State

Governments MGNREGA is being implemented in all the districts of the state since 2006-07

in phased manner.

In order to streamline and implement the scheme successfully certain points are to be

kept in view especially for smooth functioning with pro-active by PRI functionaries. Wages

are to be paid within a week or not beyond 15 days as per the wage rate notified under the

scheme. Equal wages for both men and women are to be paid. No gender discrimination in

the disbursal of wages.

It is mandatory to maintain the wage material ratio of 60:40 under the scheme. Wage

portion is fully borne by Government of India. With regard to material portion, Central and

State Government are to be shared in the order of 75 % and 25 % respectively & overall

funding to be shared between GoI and GoK is nearly in the ratio of 90 :10

100 days of wage employment to be provided to every rural house hold in a financial

year. Employment to be provided within 15 days from the date of demand through

application by the wage seekers / labourers or otherwise they are eligible for unemployment

allowance. The scheme enacted under the ACT is quite contrast to the erstwhile wage

employment programmes. In case wages are not paid in time to the labourers and delayed,

compensatory allowance has to be paid for the delayed period.

During the current year, implementation of the scheme has been extended to involve

line departments to implement their departmental schemes with MGNREGS through

convergence for which provision has been made under guidelines by GOI. As per this

provision, in addition to the PRIs, nine line department viz Forest, Horticulture, Agriculture,

Watershed, Sericulture, Animal husbandry, Fisheries, Minor irrigation and Panchayat Raj

Engineering Departments have been declared as implementing agencies on 23.10.2013 vide

Govt order no. RDP.186.EGS 2012. All the declared line departments are actively

participating in MGNREGS programme. There is a scope for increasing the physical &

financial progress by way of participation by line departments.

During the presentation of the budget for the year 2013-14, fifteen programmes

have been announced for implementation under MGNREGS. Accordingly Government

orders have been issued, as for as MGNREGS is concerned. Action is taken to commence the

implementation. The progress of the respective programmes is under various stages.

Besides payment of wages through e-FMS, action is being taken to pay the material bill

amount directly to the accounts of the vendor‟s / suppliers from 2013-14 onwards. Paying

wage and material cost through e FMS would indeed increase in transparency and


40

maintaining the accountability. Besides this, it is also contemplated to make payment of

administrative expenses through e-FMS this year (2013-14).

Following are the works to be taken up:-

During 2013-14, all the prioritized works are extended to 16 categories as per the

revised guidelines issued by GOI in the 4th

edition and GOI subsequently during the current

year have effected certain changes in the schedule-I & schedule –II of the Act through

5.3 Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited

HISTORY

The Karnataka Land Army Corporation Limited was established as an undertaking of

the Government of Karnataka on 9th

August 1974. The Directors of the company felt that the

name of the company was not representing the activity it is carrying out and hence with the

approval of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the shareholders and Government of

Karnataka, the name of the Company was changed from Karnataka Land Army Corporation

Limited (KLAC) to Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (KRIDL) with

effect from 06-08-2009. Except the name of the Company all other terms of constitution of

the Company remain unchanged.


58

capital of Rs.1.00 crore and subscribed capital of Rs.25.00 Lakhs. With a staff of 15

Engineers to undertake Civil construction of tanks, irrigation works, low cost housing, roads,

culverts and buildings etc. in rural areas employing rural youth. KRIDL (KLAC) was a

unique experiment, the kind of which not ventured anywhere earlier in the country. With hard

and dedicated work of all those involved in the formative years, the Organization has grown

from strength to strength to make the experiment a grand success and today with an annual

turnover of more than Rs.1000.00 crores with a staff around 1000 including nearly 360 highly

dedicated and Qualified Civil Engineers handling Civil works all over the state and outside

and the authorized share capital is Rs.15.00 crores.

The Company is headed by a Managing Director and is under the administrative

control of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department. The activities of KRIDL are

weighted average interest charged (WAIC as specified by Ministry of Finance, Department of

Financial Services) and 7% subject to a maximum of 5.5% for the year 2013-14. This

subvention will be available to all Public Sector Banks and RRBs on the condition that they

make SHG credit available at 7% in 150 districts (4 districts in Karnataka). SHGs which

have availed capital subsidy under SGSY in their existing loans, will not be eligible for

benefit for their subsisting loan under this scheme. The Women SHGs will get an additional

Interest Subvention of 3% if they repay the loans in time, thereby reducing the effective rate

of Interest to 4%. This initiative, in its first phase is implemented in 150 districts in the

country identified by the Government of India (out of which 4 districts have been allotted to

Karnataka). The Interest Subvention in these 4 districts will be administered and the entire

accounts of SHGs, who have been prompt in repayment of the loans, by KSRLPS. The cost

of Interest Subvention is to be shared in the ratio 75:25 by the Central and State Government.

Gandhi Chaitanya Yojane” to provide skill training, loan, self employment and placement

opportunities for 2 lakh rural unemployed youth benefitting 40-50 youth per Gram

Youth is considered to be the most valuable resource of the country. However, youth

between the ages of 18-35 face difficulties due to lack of direction, employment opportunities

and general awareness. In the present scenario it is seen that, only a few of them are provided

with vocational education and skill training. A large number of drop outs in particular girls

are known to drop out of schools and colleges. Further, there is an absence of skill training in

job oriented courses. Therefore, they are hesitant to take up self employment owing to fear of

failure. Many rural youth migrate to urban areas in search of employment especially in

regions of drought. Likewise, rural youth have abandoned agriculture due to its inability to

provide continuous employment. Rural youth lacking in self confidence resort to illegal

activities to overcome financial difficulties, physical ailments and depression. In order to

avoid deficit to the National Economy, it is imperative to utilize the potential of the youth.

The State Government has sanctioned the implementation of Rajiv Gandhi Chaithanya

Yojana in current budget. The project will be implemented at the State, District and Taluka

levels. Using wide publicity campaigns around 40 youth per Gram Panchayat will be selected

through Grama Sabhas totaling to 2 lakhs. Out of 2 lakh rural youth, self employment will be

provided to 1 lakh and skill training and placement to 1 lakh. This programme is a part of

Sanjeevini- KSRLM.

To implement the project during 2013-14, Finance Department has provided Rs.105.00

crores in supplementary Budget-1 under Head of Account 2501-00-101-0-05 (2501-01-198-

6-01).

The beneficiaries 40 per Gram Panchayat will be selected through Gram Sabha by

giving priority to SC/ST, Minorities and other Backward classes. SATCOM transmission

7 Rural Water Supply and Sanitation

7.1 Rural Water Supply

Supply of adequate and safe drinking water to all the 59,753 rural habitations of the

State is given utmost importance in order to improve the Living Standards of the rural

masses. It is programmed to provide 55 litters of drinking water to each person per day (as

per the NRDWP guidelines - 2013). Potable drinking water is being supplied to rural areas

through the following schemes:

1. Borewells fitted with Hand pump

2. Mini Water Supply Scheme

3. Piped Water Supply Scheme

4. Multi Village Water Supply Scheme

The Rural Water Supply Programmes are being implemented as per KTPP Act and

rules through Panchayath Raj Institutions. Priority is given to the partially covered, quality

affected and slipped back habitations/ villages. The type of water supply scheme to be taken

up is decided on the basis of the total population of the village / habitation. Multi Village

Water Supply schemes are also being implemented with surface source to cover cluster of

villages, where water quality and slipped back habitation problems are noticed.

Revised Guidelines of GOI

Rural Water Supply schemes are being implemented as per 2009-10 revised guidelines

of NRDWP (National Rural Drinking Water Programme).The main objective of the

Programme is to provide every rural person with adequate safe water for drinking, cooking

and other domestic basic needs on a sustainable basis. Under the Sustainability component of

NRDWP 100% grant will come from GoI for implementation of ground water conservation

and rain water harvesting structures to achieve source sustainability. 10% of annual allocation

of NRDWP funds is earmarked for this component.

As per the revised guidelines, State Water and Sanitation Mission (SW&SM) has been

established along with the Mission Director. The financial transactions of GoI funds and State

share funds are being made through SW&SM bank account. State level Scheme Sanctioning

Committee (SLSSC) has been constituted to approve RWS Action Plans, and to suggest

improved measures / to rationalize policies appropriately from time to time. There is a

provision to continue HRD/IEC program under the Support Activity Component as per GOI

norms.

the chairmanship of Director for the effective implementation of the project. In review

meetings, if there is any problems in the implementation of project schemes, action is being

taken up to overcome from the concerned. If there is necessary, Director himself visit the

field with the concerned district nodal officer, concerned officers of technical and financial

and give suggestions / direction after the inspection, otherwise give direction to concerned

district nodal officer, concerned officers of technical and finance to visit the field and to

submit the Inspection Report. Based on the Inspection Report, he discusses with the other

senior officers of agency and if there is necessity, guidance from the subject experts, Vice

President of Governing Council or Principal Secretary to Government, RD & PR Department

and Chairman of Governing Council or the Additional Secretary to Government or

Development Commissioner to solve the problems and give directions. If there is a necessity,

the subjects have been sought under Governing Council and get the administrative and

technical approval to complete the schemes without delay or stop.

Further, at the District Level, Deputy Project Manager of DSU visits the works and

regular reviews are also being taken up by the Project Manager (CEO, ZP).

Capacity Building Activity Process:

Development of capacity of different stakeholders to effectively manage the assets

created as per the objectives and norms of the project, is the major objective of capacity

building activities. Bringing a change in the attitude and perception of different stakeholders

for sustainable management of water supply schemes is a continuous process. Training

programme incorporating sustainability, preparation of realistic budget, institutional

development of VWSCs, Joint Committee and GPs, Strategy for monitoring of Water Quality

and Staff functioning, reconciliation of power supply bills, exposure visits to the schemes

which are performing well, was designed in consultation with District Support Units and

emphasis has been given on strengthening of organization structure. Training programmes /

workshops / review meetings have also been conducted in all the project districts.


113

Water Quality:

Under World Bank Assisted Jal Nirmal Additional Financing project, a three tier

water quality monitoring system is adopted as followed in the Jalnirmal Project. For testing

everyday residual chlorine Chloroscopes, Fluoroscopes for Fluoride test and H2S kit for

bacteriological contamination have been provided to project habitations for Water Quality

monitoring at the time of the implementation of the previous project. Under capacity building

training activity, various stake holders were trained in conducting water quality tests like

testing for Residual Chlorine, Fluoride & Bacteriological contamination as a regular activity

of GP/VWSC and also to record in the register. In the project districts, habitations are

considered as water quality affected habitations, where the ground water sources are affected

with high levels of chemical parameters like Fluoride, Nitrate, and TDS & Total Hardness.

For quality affected habitations, various measures have been undertaken to improve

the quality of drinking water which includes ground water source, blending, dual water

supply, DF/RO plants. In Jalnirmal Additional Financing project, a shift in focus to surface

sources for ensuring water sources are sustainable which will provide water services to

habitations having both quality and quantity issues

Construction Quality Surveillance:

For ensuring quality of civil works taken up under the project and for addressing

construction quality issues, apart from the regular monitoring by SA Engineers, DSU

Technical Team and KRWSSA Technical Team, the services of Independent Construction

Quality Surveillance Consultants (ICQSC) have been procured for the project. The ICQS

Consultants visit the project villages to inspect the quality and progress of works and submit

field visit reports to KRWSSA / Project Manager / VWSC. The main objectives of this

exercise are to monitor –

Quality of ongoing works and performance of completed works

The quality of Supervision at the field level

Construction Management Practices of the SAs / DSU

Quality of construction and construction materials used in works.

The strategy adopted to achieve the above said objectives is as follows –

Procurement of external ICQS Consultants who are assigned with monthly field visits

to project districts.

Compulsory Quality Tests of constructions materials and verification of material

quality test reports by Inspecting Officers.

Pre-shipment / Post-shipment / Third Party Inspections planned.

Technical Manual with detailed procedures and formats for various construction

materials prepared in Kannada & distributed to the project villages already.

Close monitoring and pursuance with implementing offices for compliance to the

observations made by ICQS Consultants during their field visits.

QA training to VWSC.

QA training to the project implementing engineers.

QA Checklists prepared for completed schemes

Operation & Maintenance:

The Karnataka Panchayath Raj Act, 1993 has stipulated that the Operation &

Maintenance (O&M) of Rural Water Supply Schemes is one of the statutory responsibilities

of Gram Panchayath. The Government of Karnataka vide Order dated 17-12-1999 has

transferred the responsibilities of O&M of all Mini Water Supply and Piped Water Supply

Schemes to Gram Panchayaths. Similarly, the State Government vide order dated

26-02-2004, has transferred the responsibilities of O&M of Hand Pumps also to Gram

Panchayaths. The Government has also issued guidelines for constitution of Village Water

Supply and Sanitation Committee (VWSC) vide Circular dated 3-05-2005. Accordingly, the

water supply schemes after completion are dedicated to VWSCs for Operation and

Maintenance based on the user charges to be collected locally.

Monitoring & Evaluation:

To build up in house skill and capacity of Monitoring and Evaluation has been

internalized with the approval of the Governing Council. Accordingly, the existing M&E

coordinators at ZP – DSUs have been engaged on Individual Consultancy basis and are now

reporting directly to DSUs and KRWSSA.

Sustainability Monitoring Exercise:

The implementation of the World Bank Assisted Jalnirmal Additional Financing

Support Project is based on the premises to bring significant shift from conventional service

approach to demand responsive participatory approaches aiming at achieving accessibility,

reliability, equitability and greater sustainability of investments in water and sanitation sector

in the state as followed in the implementation of the Second Karnataka Rural Water Supply

and Sanitation Project namely Jal Nirmal Project.

The project has adopted a participatory tool called Sustainability Monitoring Exercise

(SME) to measure these achievements including the project‟s intended impact and

implementation results on the ground. SME is also considered as part of the Exit Policy of the

project aiming at ensuring physical, financial and institutional sustainability of schemes

implemented in the project villages. SME for completed water supply and sanitation schemes

(at least after six months), as adopted in the World Bank Assisted Jalnirmal Project, is

conducted through a multi-disciplinary team comprising engineers / social scientists from

NGOs / Consultants, representatives of Village Water Supply and Sanitation Committee

(VWSC), members of village community both men and women, representatives of Zilla

Panchayath District Support Unit (ZP-DSU) / Panchayath Raj Institutions (PRIs) who visit

and transect the village and subsequently carry out the SME following participatory

approaches. Each SME is of 24 hours duration covering water supply hours of both morning

and evening.


115

Besides collecting information about the schemes using structured questionnaires, the

exercise also focuses on monitoring and analyzing of i) system functioning ii) user‟s

perceptions iii) operation, maintenance and management iv) organization and governance etc

for sustainability assessment results of the completed schemes representing in terms of

Highly Likely Sustainable, Likely Sustainable, Uncertain and Unlikely Sustainable.

In order to ensure long term sustainability of completed water supply scheme delivery

system and to improve its efficiency further, KRWSSA has been used in-house resources

across the project district and the First Round Sustainability Monitoring Exercises (SMEs)

has been taken up for 396 schemes, out of these, SME has been conducted for 273 schemes

and further exercises is under way. Second Round SME activities are also underway through

external agency, M/s. Ecorys India Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore for completed 300 schemes (225

schemes from WB Assisted Jalnirmal Project and 75 from Additional Financing Project). All

300 SME activities have been completed. Guidance is being given to Villages / GPs for to set

right the discrepancies found in the sustainability of the project.

Details of awards / admiration in the year under report.

NIRMAL GRAM PURASKAR The Central Government, with a view to encourage

Panchayat Raj institutions to achieve total sanitation, has instituted an award viz. “Nirmal

Gram Puraskar” at Gram Panchayath, Taluk Panchayath and Zilla Panchayath levels. The

criteria adopted for awarding NGP is construction and usage of toilets by all households in

the villages, .proper management of Solid Liquid Waste disposal in the villages. The Nirmal

Gram Puraskar award is the highest honuor instituted by the Central Government for

awarding to GPs, TPs and ZPs who achieves Open Defecation Free (ODF). In addition to

the award, the Central Government also gives cash award of Rs.50,000 to 5.00 lakhs to

Grama Pnchayats Rs.15 to 20.00 lakhs to Taluk Panchyats; Rs.30 to 50 lakhs to Zilla

Panchayats, based on the population fixed for GPs,TPs and ZPs ,

award has been given to 1069 Gram Panchayaths, 6 Taluk Panchayaths and One Zilla

Panchayat in Karnataka since 2007.

Nairmalya Awards (State Awards): In spite of making all efforts to improve sanitation in

the rural areas, the progress achieved is not to the desired level due to various hurdles. There

is inspirational progress only in the Coastal and Malnad Districts of Dakshina Kannada ,

Uttara Kannada, Udupi, Shimoga, Kodagu and Chikmagalur districts. In majority of the

districts, the progress achieved is not satisfactory. The main reason for this is the difficulty

faced in persuading rural people and making them to unite in this regard. Though the toilets

have been provided, the people do not have inclination to use the same. Therefore, expected

results could not be achieved in the construction of toilets. The rural people can be

encouraged to have sanitation habits by educating them and involving community

participation and giving incentives to Panchayat Raj Institutions. With this background in

view, this programme has been taken on priority to achieve fruitful results and to encourage

the panchayat Raj Institutions, the State has put in motion awarding State Awards on Gandhi

Jayanti Day on 2.10.2009. This has been going on every year. To hasten the

implementation of rural sanitation, Acceleration Award for rural sanitation and Sustainability

awarded. The ” Nairmalya Award” at Taluk Level ,Rajata Nairmalya” at District level and “

Nairmalya Rathna” at State levels are being awarded. The amount given is Rs.1 lakh to

Rs.19 lakhs to Grama Pnchayats, Rs.20.00 lakhs to Taluk Panchayats and Rs.30 lakhs to Zilla

Panchayats.

achieving total sanitation and sustainability. In the year 2010-11, 2 ZPs, 3 TPs and 129 GPs,
