1. RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND POVERTY ALLEVIATION

Rural development and poverty alleviation have been the major areas of concern and

thrust for the nation since independence. The Community Development Programme consisting

of various sets of schemes was launched on 2nd October, 1952 throughout the country with the

objective of overall development of rural areas with the active participation of the community.

Community Development Blocks were created and considered pivotal for planning and

implementation of various rural development schemes.

Upto the year 1999, self-employment schemes such as IRDP, TRYSEM, DWCRA,

SITRA, MWS and GKY were being implemented, but w.e.f. 1.4.1999 these schemes were

merged into SGSY. Similarly, JGSY and EAS which were in operation were merged into SGRY

w.e.f.1.4.2002.

^Swaranjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana****, (SGSY) has been launched during the year

1999-2000. This yojana lays emphasis on cluster approach instead of individual beneficiary

approach, which would enable the beneficiaries to start with viable projects in a joint manner,

which can yield higher incomes. This approach will also improve the skills of the poor through

an in-built training component, up-gradation of technology, providing adequate backward and

forward linkages, availability of adequate infrastructure and better marketing arrangements.

In order to create additional gainful wage employment for the weaker sections of the

society, employment generation programme Sampooran Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY),

was launched during the year 2002-2003. The scheme focussed on the creation of the rural

infrastructure for more sustained wage employment and rural development, besides, ensuring

food security to the weaker sections of the society. Now the scheme has been merged into

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme in a phased manner from 2-

2-2006.

The Parliament has enacted the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment

Guarantee Act, 2005 in September, 2005. Under the Act, the livelihood security of the

households in rural area has been ensured by providing one hundred day’s of guaranteed

employment in every financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do

unskilled manual work. The Act came into force w.e.f. 2nd February, 2006 in the districts

notified by the Government of India. In Himachal Pradesh Chamba and Sirmaur districts were

initially covered. Another two districts namely Kangra and Mandi were covered from 1st April

2007 in Phase-II. Now in the IIIrd Phase all the remaining 8 districts of the state have been

covered under the scheme w.e.f. 1st April, 2008.

Besides, Drought Prone Area Programme / Desert Development Programme /

Integrated Watershed Development Programme, Indira Awas Yojana, Total Sanitation

Campaign Projects, National Family Benefit Scheme etc. are the other centrally sponsored

schemes being implemented in the State. Panchayati Raj Institutions at various levels are being

involved in the planning and execution of poverty alleviation and employment generation

programmes so that it is ensured that the benefits under these programmes percolate to the

needy at the grass-roots level.

The Development Block is pivotal for the implementation of various rural

development programmes and overall development of families living below the poverty line in

the rural areas.
