Different Schemes for

VATAN SEWA

N.R.I. Division, General Administrative Department

Government of Gujarat

The message of “Universal Brotherhood”, ingrained in the culture of our ancient civilization, flows from our

pious land and shows the path of peaceful co existence to the world. This is the secret of the assimilation of

more than two crore people of Indian origin in to about 160 countries of the world where they have decided to

dwell, far away from their native land and have effectively contributed toward the social, economical and

cultural progress of their chosen land.

The ratio of Gujaratis is high among the people of Indian origin who reside in other countries for generations.

Adventurous, expert traders and pragmatic Gujaratis have never left their unique identity, cultural heritage

and spiritual tradition. They are the living embodiment of “Jya jya vase ek Gujarati tya sadakal Gujarat”.

Geographically, Non Resident Gujaratis are staying thousands of miles away from their native land but in their

hearts and soul the heritage of Gujarati language, literature and culture is kept alive. Whenever there is a call

from their native, they have responded munificently.

Gujarati is not only a word, it is a sentiment.

Gujarat does not exist merely in physical form, it throbs with its cultural heritage.

I present herewith a scheme named “VATAN SEWA” the concept of which is to express the sentiment for

Gujarat in Gujaratis. I am confident of your positive response.

With immense faith, Gujarat can and Gujarat will.

obligation by offering their support and services.

Preface

“HOW can we be helpful to our native place and our State?” This has always remained a sweet dilema for

every Non Resident Gujarati. The eagerness for extending support remained unfulfilled due to lack of proper

information. Therefore, it is our pleasure to put a nice informative booklet before you, prepared by N.R.I.

Division, Gujarat State containing all information on the avenues and ways of extending your heartiest

support to your state and native place.

This booklet covers all information on various public-private partnership schemes launched by the State

Government like Jyoti Gram Yojana, Mid-day Meal Scheme for school children, Gokul Gram Yojana, Sardar

Patel Jal Sanchay Yojana, Medical Education / Assistance Scheme and Chief Minister's Relief Fund Scheme

etc. through which you will be able to decide the kind of help you can extend to your native place.

This ambitious scheme has been introduced with the objective of equipping every village of the state with basic amenities to make them beautiful and clean. There are 18242 villages in the state and 65.51% population of the State dwells in the villages. It is, therefore, not only essential but inevitable to achieve comprehensive development of these villages. Normally, various government projects and schemes take care of developmental works in the villages. However, the basic concept of this scheme is entire development of villages through people's participation and complete decentralization of power.

All of you must be visiting your respective native villages quite frequently and directly or indirectly that must have developed a strong bond between you and your village. Now you can actively participate to make your village more equipped.

In order to ensure comprehensive development of the villages, various developmental works have been divided into three categories and each work is undertaken keeping in view the specific requirement of a particular village. On the basis of the following details, you will be able to choose the kind of work you would like to participate in .The details include the nature of work, its brief description and the cost involved.

We can claim to have achieved genuine progress

only if we ensure that the modern technology is

applied for the welfare of people at large instead

of being confined to only laboratories. The

Government aims to apply modern technology

not only to sachivalaya or district offices but at the

village panchayat level also. The concept has

been successfully materialized by e-gram

panchayats.

The gram panchayats issue various types of

certificates viz certificate in respect of land

E-Gram

property, birth and death, agricultural holding, domicile etc. It has now become possible to issue such

certificates to you at any place in the world.

The scheme envisages to computerize all the records of gram panchayats in order to make the information

readily available to the concerned persons, institutions and Government whenever required. Necessary

softwares for the scheme have been developed by N.I.C. and are to be made available to e-gram panchayats

to ensure uniformity throughout the state in maintaining and processing the data.

At present, E-Gram Yojana is being implemented with peoples participation. No grant is provided by the State

Government or the Central Government for the purpose. The village panchayats carry out such works from

their own funds or through the people's contribution. Gram panchayats which are not financially sound look up

to the donors for resources.

Estimated requirement to convert a gram panchayat into e-

gram panchayat is Rs.70,000/- as shown here below:

1. Pentium Computer 31,000.00

2. M.S. Office / Gujarati software 20,000.00

3. U.P.S. 3,000.00

A scheme to construct check dams for water

conservation with people's participation is

under implementation in Saurashtra, Kutch

and other parts of Gujarat. The Indian Institute

of Management, (IIM) Ahmedabad, a world

renowned institute, was entrusted the work to

examine the effectiveness of the scheme and

also to give suitable suggestions after

studying the administrative, technical,

economical, social and environmental aspect

of the scheme in order to make an

independent evaluation of the scheme. After

elaborate discussion on the findings of the

study report and the results achieved through

the scheme, it seems that the scheme should

Sardar Patel Sahbhagi Jalsanchay Yojana

be accorded top priority and all the required resources to achieve greater success because it has the potential

to solve the water crisis of the state on permanent basis and it is immensely beneficial since it involves

people's participation. Further, emphasis is laid on constructing check dams on a large scale because they

can go a long way in reviving the ground water table.

The scheme is implemented with 40% contribution from the people and 60% contribution from Govt. The

scheme has received unprecedented response from the people. As a result, check dams have been

constructed in large numbers. You may participate in constructing check dams in the areas of your choice by

contributing 40 % amount.

Keeping in view the local conditions, the State Government has prescribed various technical criteria for check

dams. Actual cost of a check dam cannot be determined till the site is selected. If we take into account the

number of check dams constructed and the expenditure incurred thereon up till now, average expenditure per

check dam comes to Rs.2.50 lakh. Powers to accord administrative and technical sanction under the scheme

are restricted as shown below:

1. Dy. Executive Engineer of Works up to Rs. 1.00 lac

relevant area

2. Executive Engineer Works up to Rs. 6.00 lacs

3. Superintending Engineer Works up to Rs. 15.00 lacs

4. Government Works exceeding Rs. 15.00 lacs

How to contribute to the scheme ?

13

Criteria for selection of

Site

1. Priority will be accorded to the

village where no check dam

has been constructed

2. Villages where check dams

have been already constructed,

new check dams will be

sanctioned taking into account

the existing check dams.

However, where check dams

costing up to Rs.1 lac are to be constructed, ceiling of number will not be taken into consideration.

3. You may also contribute towards repairs to the check dams constructed under various schemes. The

repair works are also under taken on the 60:40 sharing basis.

Provision has been made vide Govt. Resolution, Narmada, water Resources and water supply Dept. No.

prc/2003/35/1359/I, dated 29/5/2003 to deposit the amount of public contribution, received to construct check

dams under Saradar Patel Sahabhagi Jalsanchay Yojana, into the Chief Minister's Relief Fund. It has been

ensured that the donation received for the construction of check dam is set aside and spent for that purpose

only. The amount so earmarked is allocated to Narmada, Water Resources and Water Supply Department

Till recently power supply in rural areas for agriculture and domestic purposes was provided from single-

phase line. This used to hamper uninterrupted power supply for the domestic purposes. Jyotigram Yojana has

been introduced in rural areas of the state to provide round the clock power supply. The original scheme

envisaged to provide electricity to 400 villages, having population of more than three thousand, in the first

phase. However, it was suggested that villages with population of less than 3000 as well as those located near

sub-stations should also be covered and accordingly necessary changes have been made in the scheme.

Now, 'Jyotigram' scheme is implemented keeping in view the population served under a sub-station or a

feeder instead of the earlier criteria of population of 3000. Actual distance from a sub-station or a feeder vary

in the case of each village and accordingly therefore is a scope for variation in actual cost. Average cost of

works carried out under Jyotigram Yojana till date is Rs. 7.00 lakh. If 30% amount of the estimated cost of the

work can be raised through contribution from local people, the state Govt. makes provision for the remaining

70% fund in the state budget to ensure electrification of that village.

Gujarat Electricity Board has been entrusted the responsibility to implement the scheme. To participate in this

scheme, 30 % contribution may be made in favour of Gujarat Electricity Board.
