I. AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED SERVICES

I. CROP HUSBANDARY

Agriculture is the main stay for 78% population of the State. Agricultural

economy is characterized by dependence on nature, low investments, low

productivity, mono-cropping, inadequate irrigation facilities, less crop

diversification and absence of contract farming.

The growth in agriculture is aimed at 2-3% of GSDP. It will be mainly

achieved by increasing the cropping intensity from 127% to 150% during the plan

period and increasing production by introducing high yielding variety (HYV) of

rice, pulses and oilseeds.

For increasing the production of all agricultural crops in the State following

strategy will be followed.

• Crop diversification: The main objective is to replace rice crop in fragile

and un-economical areas and substitute with other suitable crops in

different Agro-Climatic Zones (ACZs). The rice in fragile environments

like rain shadow areas, uplands will be targeted for replacing with suitable

pulses and oilseed crops.

• Increasing cropping intensity: For double cropping 529 Anicuts, 2 lakh

tube wells and large number of Minor Irrigation Projects will be completed

to bring 10 lakh ha. Area under irrigation.

• Sugarcane production, Sugar manufacturing, Co-generation of electricity

and ethanol production.

• Seed Production of High yielding varieties and distribution to the farmers

by Chhattisgarh State Seed Corporation.

• Increasing irrigation under micro irrigation, tubewells, Kisan Samriddhi

Scheme and Shakambari Schemes.

Plan, drilling and energisation of one lakh tube wells have been

achieved and in the 11th

Plan, the target has been kept as two lakh tube

wells for drilling and energisation.

• Special schemes shall be started for improving traditional tribal crops such

as Niger, Kodo and Kutki, etc.

• Cultivation of jatropha and biodiesel production in a big way.

TRIBAL SUB PLAN (TSP)

The concept of TSP was introduced at the beginning of the Fifth Five

Year Plan (1974-75). The motive behind the concept was to ensure the smooth

availability of fund for TSP area by compelling every line department to make a

proportional provision in their budget, and this provision is not permissible for re

appropriation form TSP to Non TSP area. Since then, the TSP fund has become an

effective weapon to overcome the problem of TSP area by providing financial

assistance for different scheme. As per the census report of year the population of

scheduled tribes in the state is 66,17,000 which constitutes the 31.76 percent of the

total population of the state. Each Development Department earmarks 38.00% of

the total plan outlay for the development of the TSP area. Several Demand

numbers are being created in the state budget to ensure that the amount allocated

for TSP area could not be used elsewhere.

The Tribal Sub Plan approach is an area development approach with

adequate emphasis on family oriented income generating activities, considering

the problems of the tribals with an objective to bridge the gap of socio-economic

level between tribals and others. The original guidelines for ITDPS were made to

take family oriented income generating scheme relating to Agriculture,

Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, elimination of exploitation and human resource

development through education and training and infrastructure development

programmes. The policy continues on the same lines with refinement over the

years.

The Tribal Development Department functions as the controlling

authority for all departments, for expenditure in TSP areas. Proposals are approved

by the Tribal Development Department for inclusion in annual budget. Also,

expenditure is Okayed by the Tribal Development Department, once the budget is

passes in the legislature. This enables the department to maintain a balance in

expenditure in all spheres of administration.

For the annual plan of year 2008-09 an outlay of Rs. 3221.23 crores

has been proposed for TSP against the total plan outlay from the state budget of

Rs. 9230.59 crores which account for 34.90%. Sectoral allocation of TSP is

given under:

SCHEDULED CASTE SUB PLAN (SCSP)

As per the census report of year the population of scheduled castes in the

state is 24,19,000 which constitutes the 11.61 percent of the total population of the

state. Earlier, the concept of Scheduled Caste Sub Plan was popularly known as

Special Component Plan (SCA). The SC population of the state is living across the

state and also confining to a particular area therefore SCSP is based on beneficiary

approach aiming to benefit them.

Looking into the mixed demographic pattern and uneven distribution of the

SC population across the state, it was not possible to earmark the fund for major

projects of irrigation, power and means of transportation exclusively reserved to

benefit only SC population. Therefore, family oriented programmes directly

benefiting the SC population and other works like drinking water facility,

38

community centers, cc roads in scheduled caste prone area were taken collectively

under the umbrella of SCSP. The concept SCSP has helped in ensuring the

availability of funds reserved for SC population in different sectors. Several

Demand Numbers are being created in the state budget to ensure that the amount

allocated for SCSP area could not be used elsewhere.

For the annual plan of year 2008-09, an outlay of Rs.1105.52 crores has

been proposed for SCSP against the total plan outlay from the state budget of

Rs. 9230.59 crores which accounts to 11.98 %.

WOMEN COMPONENT PLAN

(GENDER BUDGET)

Women have been identified as key agents of sustainable development and

women’s equality and empowerment are pivotal to a more holistic approach

towards processes of development that are sustainable. The resources and

opportunities of our society should be equally divided between man and woman so

to make it more equitable world.

Women have not actively participated in their own emancipation mainly

due to lack of education, low economic independence and traditional dominance

of man since time immemorial. The economic and social status of woman needs to

be raised to address the issues of empowering women.

In the State female-male ratio (sex ratio) is 989 to 1000 and female literacy

rate is 51.85 % in comparison to male literacy rate of 77.38%. Participation of

women in regular government services is approximately 15% whereas in work

charged and contingency services they constitute one third part of it.

To bring about changes in aforementioned scenario special efforts have

been proposed to be taken up in the 11th

five year plan for empowerment of

women. Various schemes are being under taken in plan to reduce MMR, to bridge

over gender gap, to promote girls education, to improve women’s economic status

and to protect them against any type of exploitation.

14 departments of 5 sectors have been identified having schemes to benefit

women beneficiaries individually. Almost 13 % of the Total Plan outlay flows to

women component plan.Some major provisions have been made to empower

women and bridge over gender gap in various sectors as under, details of schemes

are given in annexure- IX:

Introduction

Chhattisgarh has total geographical area of 137.00 lakh hectares out of

which 43% arable land under cultivation has tremendous potential for agricultural

development. The State has very variable soil and climatic conditions which

favours growing all kinds of crops. The State has 18 districts with three agro

climatic zones with diverse biophysical characteristics ranging from ecological,

physiographic, geological to hydrological variation. As per 2001 census 78%

population of the State is engaged in agriculture. Rice is the main crop which

accounts for 75 percent of net sown area of State.

Performance of agriculture in the State during Xth Plan

During Xth Five Year Plan, in kharif crop , the growth in the area of

rice decreased by -2.2 % due to intensive crop diversification programme adopted

by the State government. The decrease in the area of rice could be seen as an

increase in the area of other crops like tur, urd. soyabean, niger etc. In rabi season

growth in the area of all crops increased but with a slower pace. Increase in

irrigation sources through different schemes played major role in increasing the

double cropped area.

Sufficiency in food production

Though the productivity levels of al1 food grains in the State is lower-

than the national averages (see Table1) the total production of food grains in the

State are higher than the State’s requirement (see Table 2) except in oilseeds.

XIth Plan Strategy:

To increase the production of all agricultural crops in the State strategies

adopted includes following action:-

Crop diversification: Crop diversification was the main emphasis in X Plan and it

will continue as main target in XI Plan also. The main objective is to replace rice

crop in fragile and un-economical areas by other suitable crops in different Agro-

Climatic Zones (ACZs). The rice in fragile environments like rain shadow areas,

uplands will be targeted for replacing with suitable pulses and oilseed crops.

Increasing cropping intensity: Chhattisgarh though receives about 1300 mm

average rainfall, is still a mono-cropped area. This is the main cause for migration

of small and marginal farmers besides landless labourer. During X five year plan,

the State government made intensive efforts for increasing double cropping area

under rain fed conditions in heavy soils and also through proper water and crop

management practices. During XI five year plan also this remains the main thrust

area with target of increasing the existing cropping intensity of 127 percent to 150

percent.

Organic Farming: The State with very little input of chemicals in agriculture has

a very good scope for producing organically grown food especially in tribal

dominant districts. It is, therefore, proposed during XI plan to concentrate on

organic farming in those areas where there is tremendous scope. This target will be

achieved through both State schemes like NADEP/Vermi compost scheme and

also through National Organic Farming scheme. For capacity building of the

farmers in this field the budget available in other schemes like Farmer's training

and tour programmes will be utilized.

Development of Agro-forestry and Farm forestry: There are large wastelands in

the State which are kept fallow since decades. Besides, the existing bunds occupy

approximately 10 percent of rice area which comes to 36.0 lakh. These wastelands

and rice bunds will be utilized through agro-forestry and farm forestry. It is

proposed to develop jatropha plantations in these wastelands and rice bunds to

promote production of biodiesel.

45

Precision farming: In order to improve agriculture with limited resources like

water and land, precision farming needs boosting. The government is planning to

encourage precision farming through poly house cultivation, use of drip and

sprinkler irrigation for commercial crops and vegetables etc. Fodder is in a great

demand in the State and forage production will also be brought under precision

farming. At least 15-20 per cent area is planned to be brought under precision

farming during XI plan.

Development of Forage and Fodder crops: The cattle are fed with only paddy

straw, which causes mal-nutrition in the animals. As a result, though the animal

population is high in the State (128.0 lakh), the production of milk is only about

54.42 lakh kg. In the other words, the milk production is less than 500 grams per

animal. It is, therefore, necessary to improve the animal health as well as their

milk production with proper development of feed and fodder. In view of this it is

proposed to take a massive programme on fodder development during XI plan by

producing fodder in wastelands through scientific approach.

Improving Farm machinery/implements, minor irrigation: At present the level of

mechanization in the State is 0.6 kw/ha. as against the national average of 1.23

kw/ha. Under this target, intensive efforts will be made to improve the farm

mechanization and implements by developing new animal drawn implements as

well as modifying the existing tractor drawn implements to suit the soil. Live

demonstrations of the implements will be done in farmers' fields and the farmers

will be trained in use of these new implements. The target will be met from the

budget outlay provided under different schemes that are in operation in the State

like, Machine Tractor station scheme, Deepening of wells and bore-wells,

Shakambari, low lift pump subsidy scheme, macro-management work plan for

promotion of farm mechanization etc.

Crop Insurance Programme: In Chhattisgarh, the agriculture is mainly dependent

on the monsoon. The State government is implementing the crop insurance

schemed launched by Govt. of India. Under National Agriculture Insurance

Scheme (NAIS), the area covered in the State during X plan is approximately 70.0

lakh hectares with an insurance of Rs. 19622 crores. The number of farmers

benefited is 9.42 lakh and the financial liability of the State was Rs. 78.62 crores.

It is proposed that at least 20 lakh farmers should be covered under NAIS in each

year during XI five year plan.

Strengthening of soil testing laboratories: Soil test based fertilizer application is

highly beneficial to the small and marginal farmers. The soil testing laboratories in

the State are very old without any facility to test micro nutrients. In this backdrop

it is proposed to strengthen soil testing laboratories during XI five year plan.

Mobile soil testing laboratories will also be developed to reach the fields for soil

testing.

46

Establishment of tissue Culture Laboratory: The State government is in process

to establish a Tissue Culture Laboratory for mass production of superior planting

material of sugarcane & banana. The production capacity of the lab will be 10 lakh

plants per year. This will help to fulfil the demand of superior planting material for

sugarcane growing areas; and also for organizing tissue culture training for needy

persons. Today majority of the commercialized tissue culture ventures are in

private sector and thus this technology is in close doors from the point of view of

training and demonstrations. It being the Govt. initiative it would be possible to

make it an open technology available to all the farmers and farmer entrepreneurs.

Expected outcome during Xl Plan: The State government is planning to address

the above issues in mission mode. The main objectives is to increase the overall

productivity of all crops by decreasing the rice area in unproductive lands (crop

diversification) as well as increasing cropping intensity in rice fallows under un-

irrigated conditions. Besides, intensive efforts would be made to increase the

productivity in a sustainable manner by adopting organic farming, integrated pest

management, integrated nutrient management and integrated crop management

practices. This will help not only in improving the agricultural economy of the

State but also keep the environmental balance.

developed as a major fruit crop for plantation as its harvesting may start in the

State from 20th April till July. Different varieties of Mango especially Dussehari

is ready in the last week of April, so it can be harnessed for export purpose.

Other fruits including Litchi, covering 3912 hectares (5.16 percent),

Cashew nut covering 7586 hectares (9.90 percent) and Banana in 3492.6 ha. ( 9.26

percent) area in the State. Cashew nut is second highest cultivated fruit crop in

Chhattisgarh with 7506 ha. (nearly 9.90 percent of fruit crops cultivated in

Chhattisgarh). The highest cashew producing district is Raigarh with 5162 ha.

followed by Kanker with 1160 ha. Litchi is important crop in the State and has

good potential.

Orange Cultivation is negligible in Chhattisgarh and hence is not being

considered. However, Lime is being grown in some pockets and has high

potential.

Although average productivity of Banana and Papaya is low, but, with

the introduction of high-yielding tissue culture plants in Banana, the average

productivity has increased. In case of Papaya, with the introduction of Taiwan

varieties, the average productivity has increased.

Vegetable Cultivation

The important vegetables grown in the State are Potato, Sweet Potato,

Onion, Tomato, Okra, Brinjal, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Colocasia, and Green Pea

etc. Total area under vegetable cultivation is 195617.10 ha out of which Tomato

covers maximum area i.e. approximately 29204.60 ha. Durg district has maximum

tomato cultivation on 7478 ha. followed by Raipur with 5000 ha.Brinjal is second

highest grown vegetable in the State cultivated over 19445.7 ha. Durg is the

highest producer of Brinjal followed by Raipur, and Surguja.

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

Chhattisgarh is a repository of a large number of economically,

socially and commercially important medicinal, aromatic and dye plants. Nearly

625 plant species including medicinal plants from the forests are traded.

56

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) are classified into wild and

cultivated, depending on their occurrence.

Total area under medicinal plants cultivation is 2000 hac. (2005-06)

and total area under aromatic plants cultivation is 6000 hac. (2005-06).

Floriculture

Floriculture is a sunrise sector in horticulture in the State. The major

categories of flowers grown are:

1. Bulbous Flowers - Tube-rose, Gladiolus etc.

2. Grafted Plants - Rose like Hybrid T, Miniature and other

commercial varieties.

3. Loose Flowers - Chrysanthemum, Marigold, Galardia etc.

4. Flowers under Protected Cultivation - Gerbera, Anthurium

The maximum cultivation of flowers is undertaken in Durg and Raipur

districts followed by other districts such as Rajnandgaon, Bilaspur and Surguja

etc. Total of 1551 ha. area is covered under flower cultivation out of which the

distribution is as follows:

Category Percentage Bulbous Flowers 20%

Grafted and others 20%

Loose Flowers- 50%

Flowers under Protected Cultivation (Gerbera) 10%

At present the area under floriculture is less. However, with the

launching of National Horticulture Mission (NHM) further growth is expected.

New marketing avenues are available within the State as well as in adjoining

States. Nagpur (Maharashtra) is a big flower mandi for Central India. However at

present most of the flower in Nagpur Mandi comes from Ahmednagar which is

situated 500 Kms from Nagpur.This situation can be used to fetch new market for

the State .

Status of Horticultural Nurseries

Mostly the availability of planting material of different Horticultural

crops is through Govt. Nurseries established by Department of Horticulture in

different districts. There are 106 departmental nurseries established in 16 districts

of the State. These nurseries play an important role in producing good quality

planting material which is easily available to the farmers. Along with production

57

of planting material, these nurseries are center for conducting different types of

training and other activities related with Horticulture.

Apart from 106 nurseries in different districts, there is one

Demonstration cum Vegetable seed production farm established at Bana in Raipur

district. In this farm, the activity of production of certified seed on mass scale from

breeder and foundation seed is conducted. Demonstration of different Medicinal

and Aromatic Crops are taken at this farm for the benefit of the farmers.

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

Introduction

Animal Husbandry Department has a strength of human resource

(Technical Staff as 354 Veterinary Assistant Surgeon and 1447 Assistant

Veterinary Field Officers) & infrastructure (208 Hospitals, 22 A. I. centres, 708

Dispensories, 252 A.I. Sub Centers, 07 Laboratories, 04 Cattle Breeding farms, 07

Poultry Farms, 02 Piggery Farms, one Goat breeding farm & two Training

Centres) along with various beneficiary oriented schemes. They will meet out the

requirement of Livestock production, preservation & improvement of breed

through Live stock Breeding policy.

There are 105.80 lakh Cattle population, 30.13 lakh Goat Pig and other

animal & 81.81 lakh Poultry population in the State. As a result of departmental

breed improvement programme and Beneficiaries oriented programme the

significant growth of improved breed of animal has been recorded in 17th

Cattle

census as fallows:-

1. Cattle 105 253 140.95

2. Poultry 6495 8005 23.25

3. Local breed 8680 8628 -0.59

The growth rate achieved during the Xth

Plan period in livestock is about

6%, layer industry is about 9% and broiler industry is 13-14%. Therefore, the

livestock and poultry sector are going to be the major thrust areas in XIth

Plan

period in order to achieve 4% GDP in agriculture and allied sector. The livestock

population of the State is marked by enormously high proportion of low producing

non descript animals (More than 86 lakh cattle out of a total 88 lakh are non

descript). As such during the XI th

Plan period efforts have to be made to enlarge

the scope of breed improvement in cattle and buffalo covering new areas,

induction of high yielding good quality milch animals, under beneficiary oriented

programme, encourage fodder production, cold chain facility, product innovation,

value addition as well as creation of assured marketing infrastructure.

The State has very large population of scheduled tribe and scheduled

caste, together constituting about 44% of the total State population. There is

growing awareness for goat, pig and poultry keeping amongst these populations.

Therefore, it is envisaged to enlarge the scope of goatery, piggery and poultry by

63

covering more areas of these two categories of SC & ST people. This could be

accompanied by distributing good quality goats and pigs of recognized breeds

under beneficiary oriented programme. The poultry is another lucrative area for

income generation, livelihood support and self-employment, which are attracting

unemployed youths. Accordingly efforts have to be made to encourage backyard

poultry among socially underprivileged SC and ST families and also encourage

small-scale commercial layer and broiler farming as a part of providing self-

employment. The State could not make any mark in sheep husbandry as evident

from relatively very low population of this species in this State. In XI th

Plan

greater attention need to be paid for encouraging sheep husbandry in the selected

pockets as well as establishing sheep farms in strategic location. Further the

department of Animal Husbandry and Dairy plans to undertake good livestock

practices through scientific and technological interventions, germplasm

conservation, cold chain, processing, product innovation, value addition and

marketing networks. Accordingly, the department has identified the major thrust

area to be covered in the XI th

Plan period which are as under.

The action plan and strategy to achieve the goals set for the XI th Five

Year Plan period are as under:-

1. Cattle & Buffaloes Development

As detailed above the there is huge population of non descript cattle and

buffalo which are by and large low yielder and not suitable even for livelihood

support. The average per capita milk production of desi cow is below 1 liter. The

per capita availability of the milk in the State is 112.48 g. while at national level

the per capita availability is 232 g. Accordingly XI th Five Year Plan proposal

envisages to increase the productivity of animal through improved breeding

practices, better feed and fodder management and better integration with the

market. This will necessitate creating infrastructure facility for A. I. in new areas,

by providing A. I. equipment in existing vety hospitals, distributing quality bulls

of high pedigree in areas not covered under AI, castration of non descript and

scrub bulls, organizing training programmes for private AI workers through Live

Stock Agency and A. I. training Center Pakaria. It also endeavors to organize

infertility camps and cattle shows, Participation of private workers and NGO’s in

AI work will be largely encouraged.

2. Induction of Animals

The breed improvement programme through cross breeding /grading

up/selection is a time taking process. To give boost to the milk production and also

looking to the target for the XI th

Five Year Plan of increasing the milk production,

64

it is imperative to continue and expand the cow induction programme to cover

almost all tribal and scheduled caste dominated districts.

3. Goat & Sheep Development

Under beneficiary oriented programme it is proposed to distribute goats of

identified breeds to the ST & SC Farmers with the physical target of 5000 male

buck distribution & to Strengthen the Goat breeding Farm existing at Pakaria,

Bilaspur .

4. Poultry Development

During the XI th

Five Year Plan Period the department plans to encourage

backyard poultry farming as a part of livelihood support and income generation.

The department also endeavors to promote commercial layer and broiler farming

for gainful employment to unemployed youths.

5. Animal Health, Diagnosis and Disease Control

Creation of infrastructure facilities for timely detection of diseases and its

control are of paramount importance to sustain productivity and production in

livestock and poultry. As such State department plans to create disease diagnostic

network through out the State. To put forward the doctrine of “Prevention is

better than cure” the department proposes to take up more and more coverage

under livestock and poultry vaccination programme. The department also plans to

take up Entrepreneurship Development Programme for the delivery of animal

health inputs at the farmer’s door.

Under central sponsored scheme a proposal to establish nine Disease

Investigation Leberotaries is proposed .

6. Feed & Fodder Development

Animal feed & fodder is one of the greatest constraints in enhancing the

production & productivity of milk. Continuous supply of green fodder &

concentrate to the milch animal are proving to be challenge in dairy industry. In

regard to the dry fodder we are depending on crop residue i.e. Paddy straw, which

contains oxalates, phytates, etc. By Urea Molasses treatment we can increase the

nutritive value & the toxic material can be reduced. The department also plans to

establish fodder nursery and grassland reserve during this plan period.

65

7. Dairy Development

The present processing level is below 4 % of total State milk production of

8.3 lakh tonnes per annum. Enhancing processing level means going for value

addition which in turn will fetch better remunerative prices to the producer It is

proposed to increase the processing level from 4 to 15 % during XI plan period. It

will require providing processing facility for additional 5-Lakhliter milk per day

(processing facilities for 1.5 lakh liter per day exists). Under IDDP five chilling

cum processing units of total 50000 liter per day capacity are sanctioned under

Central Sector Schemes. In the year 2007-08 II nd

installment of Rs. 447.17 lakh

has been allocated.

As a part of quality assurance the department plans to take up clean milk

production strategy during XI th

Five Year Plan period. The department also

proposes to create milk booth, milk parlor and new dairy cooperative societies

with emphasis on women cooperative societies in order to enlarge the scope of

marketing network.

8. Other Activities

Under this head the following activities are contemplated to be under taken

during this plan period.

a. Piggery Development

Traditionally pig keeping is popular amongst the tribal population of

the State. As such the department envisages to promote this activity in

tribal dominated areas of the State under beneficiary oriented programme.

Further it is also planned to strengthen the existing pig farms at Jagdalpur

and Ambikapur.

9. Beneficiary Oriented Programme

As a part of providing livelihood support and income generation to the SC

& ST families living below poverty line the department proposes distribution of

buck and boar for improved breeding, pig unit (trio) and poultry unit for backyard

farming. Under this programme it is also proposed to enlarge the scope of bull

distribution and fodder tree plantation on subsidy basis. A sum of Rs. 10153.60

lakh is allocated for the year 2008-09 with physical target of 1,30,233

(Beneficiary).

FISHERIES

Introduction :

The Fisheries Development has been recognized as a powerful income and

employment generator which plays an important role in rural economy and is a

source of cheap and nutritious food. More than 1.50 lakh fishermen are engaged in

fish culture and capture activities. It caters primarily to the need of socio

economically backward communities of fishermen, scheduled cast and scheduled

tribes.

1. Resources

1.55 lakh ha. water area is available for fisheries development this is 1.14%

of the geographical area of the State. Besides the State has to major river

system,viz ,Mahanadi and Godavari and their tributeries farming network of 3576

km. Leaving a side of 10% extinct and derelicted water bodies rest 90% of the

water bodies in the form of village ponds and reservoirs are utilized for fish

culture.

Public Distribution system

Procurement of food grains under the price support scheme is a social

obligation of the State and Central Governments. The scheme was conceived to

ensure minimum support price to the farmer for his produce, to protect the ‘weaker

farmer’ from the ‘strong trader;’ and to prevent exploitation by middleman. The

scheme is an absolute necessity for a state like Chhattisgarh, which is

underdeveloped in agriculture, and comprise of large tribal population and marginal

farmers. With a view to achieve the intended objectives the State Government

operates many centers for purchasing paddy, wheat and coarse grains .The

Chhattisgarh State is one of the few states, where PSS is being successfully

implemented.

One of the schemes, namely, decentralized procurement which has turned to

be unviable because of insufficient assistance to State Government by GOI. Under

decentralized procurement of rice scheme, the state agencies have been procuring

paddy at MSP on behalf of FCI and after converting it into rice the required

quantity for Public Distribution System and other food grain based schemes is

accepted by the State Government and the remaining quantity is handed-over to the

FCI. The details of paddy and rice procured by the State Government and FCI in

last two Kharif Marketing Season is as follows:-

2004-05 29.04 9.00 6.80 7.40 52.24

An issue which has a bearing on the procurement of food grains under PSS

is the non-coverage of total cost of procurement. The incidentals are required to be

based on actual expenses of the previous year submitted by the State Government.

The estimated losses incurred in previous years for procurement of paddy are as

follows: -

Fig. in crore

S.No. Kharif Year Estimated Losses

2 2001-02 357.54

3 2002-03 275.29

4 2003-04 539.02

GOI has revised the incidental charges of paddy procurement and CMR

rates for current Kharif year but it is still not up to the actual expenditure incurred

by the State Government at various stages on procurement of paddy and its

conversion into rice, Some of the notable points in respect of incidentals are:-

(a) Driage allowance for paddy provisionally allowed 1% of MSP against the

normal estimated driage of 2.00 to 3.00% of MSP.

(b) Commission to sub-agents societies is still 1% of MSP while State

Government is paying 2% of MSP to societies.

(c) No expenses allowed for transportation within 8 Kms.

(d) Storage charges for paddy provisionally allowed Rs. 184 per quintal whereas

the storage charge is much higher than Rs. 1.84.

(e) Milling charges for raw rice including transportation charges upto 8 kms

provisionally fixed by GOI is Rs. 15.00 per quintal whereas State

Government is paying Rs. 40.00 per quintal for conversion of paddy into raw

rice.

Consequent to the above revision in incidental charges, the agencies suffer

an over all loss of about Rs. 50 to 60 per quintal of CMR. Thus paddy procurement

has become a high loss making operation and there is a case for again revising the

incidentals/charges allowed for KMS 2005-06 on the basis of State's proposals.

Other grain procurement:-

Chhattisgarh State Civil Supplies Corporation is procuring wheat and maize

under price support scheme. The quantity of wheat and maize procured in

previous years is as follows:-

(Fig. in M.T.)

S.no. Year Wheat Maize

2 2004-05 19.40 10936.82

82

Enhancing private trade in food grains :-

Previously there were some restrictions on the trade of food grains and

agricultural produce mainly through Chhattisgarh Scheduled Commodities Dealers

(Licensing and restriction on hoarding) Order 1991.The 1991 order makes it

mandatory for the big traders to obtain license for dealing in essential commodities

scheduled in this order such as wheat, wheat products, rice, poha and pulses etc.

But in January 2004 the State Government rescinded the said Order and abolished

all the restrictions on the trade of food grains.

As far as the removal of restriction on inter-state movement of food grains and

agricultural produce is concerned, our state has no such restrictions. Traders and

producers are free to import and export these items to and from the state without

any hindrance. Under the state's voluntary rice levy policy, rice millers can give

certain percentage of their production to the Food Corporation of India at the

prescribed rates. No Levy Paid Certificate, Release order or Transit permit is

required for movement of rice under the free trade.

3. Annapoorna Yojana (Scheme No. 5065):-

Those destitutes who are above 65 years of age and not covered under state

social security pension scheme or national old age pension scheme are being

benefited under Annapoorna Yojana. Annapoorna Yojana beneficiaries are

entitled to get 10 kg rice free of cost per month. Chhatisgarh Govt. starts this

scheme from October, 2001. As against the numerical ceiling of 0.26 lakh

beneficiaries 0.28 lakh ration cards have been issued in the state.

State Govt. is providing ancillary charge @ 42.00 per quintal for urban area

and 52.00 per quintal for rural area for transportation, other expenses of agencies

and commission to fair price shopkeeper. As for this present number of

beneficiaries and the quantity of rice lifted per month, this amount leads to about

Rs 2.00 crore per annum. As such, a provision of Rs. 1.94 Crore is made under

this scheme.

4. Antyodaya Anna Yojna (Scheme No. 5456):-

On the basis of parameters fixed by the GOI, poorest of the poor family in

rural and urban areas are identified with the help of gram panchats/ Gram sabha

and urban local bodies respectively. After necessary verification the competent

authority issues ration card and the family thus becomes eligible for getting food

grain and other essential commodities at prescribed rates from the FPS with which

its card is attached.

Antyodaya Anna yojana is central scheme but GOI is not providing any

amount for transportation, storage of rice and commission for lead agencies or any

other related agencies under the scheme. Hence State Govt. is providing ancillary

charges @ Rs. 42.00 per quintal for urban area, @ Rs. 52.00 per quintal for rural

area for transportation, other expenses of agencies and commission to fair price

shopkeepers. As per the present number of beneficiaries and the quantity of rice

lifted per month, this amount leads to about Rs. 20.00 crore per annum. During

this financial year 2008-09 a sum of Rs. 20.13 crore is made available for this

scheme.

5. New proposed scheme.:-

agencies in the state under public distribution system , out of which 2784

fair price shops run by the Primary Agriculture credit cooperative societies

(PACS) and LAMPS have their own building and reaming fair price shops

are operated in private building. The State Govt. has decided that in all

rural areas, shops must be located in govt. buildings, It should not be

operated from the residence of every individual. For the reason we require

at least 6000 shop cum go downs, each having capacity of 25 M.T. for

which a sum of Rs. 62 Lakhapprox. is required. During the year 2006-2007,

some shop cum god owns were constructed by panchayat department only.

Shops cum godowns are being constructed by Panchayat Department due to

this reason under this department additional provision has not been made.

DEPARTMENT OF COOPERATION

Introduction

The State of Chhattisgarh is under developed in co-operative sector.

Co-operative movement in Chhattisgarh has played a significant role in supporting

and sustaining the growth of agriculture development. It is envisaged that the role

of cooperative in agriculture has to be strengthened and enhanced to enable them

to play a strong supportive role through creation of agriculture infrastructure,

supply of agriculture inputs, making available adequate and timely credit,

marketing and processing agriculture produces.

The state government provides financial assistance in the form of

loan, subsidy and grant etc. through different credit societies to the farmers

affiliated to these societies for this purpose Government allocates funds to the

department under deferent schemes, which are made and implemented for social

welfare.

There is a three-tier co-operative credit structure in our state. Rajya

Sahakari Bank (Apex Bank) and State Co-Operative Agriculture and Rural

Development Bank are functioning at state level. There are six District Central

Co-Operative Banks and 12 District Co-Operative Agriculture And Rural Bank at

the district level. 1333 Primary Credit Societies and 154 urban credit societies are

affiliated to these district level institutions. The credit flows from top to bottom.

The co-operative department, as a democratic instrument and

people’s institution, is based on self-help, mutual aid, and for curbing exploitation

and insuring socio economic development of people with particular emphasis on

weaker sections of society, presently regulating/controlling a number of 7256

RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Approximately 45% of the rural families are below poverty line. The

percentage of BPL families is highest in Dantewada (64%) and lowest in Durg

district (34%). An aspect calling for attention is the distribution of the poor

between, very poor (those below 75% of consumption level at the poverty line)

and moderately poor (those between 75% and near the poverty line). Chhattisgarh

has 29.45% B.P.L under moderately poor category and 15.55% of B.P.L under

very poor category. The emphasis in the XI Plan period will be to bring this

moderately poor group above the poverty line. The aim is to achieve greater socio-

economic and infrastructure development, which will in turn raise the per capita

income and reduce the poverty.

Agricultural wage earners, small and marginal farmers and casual workers

engaged in non-agricultural activities, constitute the bulk of the rural poor. lakh of

access to agricultural land, paucity of work on land (wage work), non-availability

of education for enabling occupational diversification and shortage of capital is the

fundamental causes of poverty. Poor educational base and lakh of other vocational

skills also perpetuate poverty. Due to the poor physical and social capital base, a

large proportion of the people are forced to migrate to other states to seek

employment in extremely low levels of productivity and wages.

Percentage of Ground Water utilization is low at around 20.3% and is well

below the national average. The ratio of gross irrigation to gross sown area is 23%

which is much lower than the national average of 39%.The irrigated area as a

percentage of the sown area is among the lowest in the country(20.65%).The

intensity of irrigation is only 1.05 indicating that irrigation is mostly confined to

single season in the state. The percentage of irrigation varies from over 30% in

Chhattisgarh plains to 5% in Hill Zone and mere 1.23% in Bastar Plateau. .About

76% of the irrigation in the State is through canals. Among the BPL families the

worst sufferers are the labourers dependent upon agriculture. The focus of the state

government during the XI plan period would be to increase the agriculture area

and to provide assured irrigation at least for single crop to the small & marginal

farmers by developing small irrigation Schemes & renovation of existing canals

through various schemes of rural development.

95

Strategy for the Eleventh Five Years Plan

For the 11th Five Years Plan (2007-2012), the monitorable targets for rural

development sectors are as follows:-

• Generate additional employment and income for unskilled labours.

• Facilitate and improve delivery of other rural services.

• Increase area under irrigation and support diversification of

agriculture.

• Providing training for skill development in non-farm sector to

generate productive employment opportunities.

• Increase efficiency of the assets already created and to be created.

• Enhance democratic processes and skills among rural poor.

• Improve the quality of life of rural poor.

• Reduction of poverty ratio by 22 percentage points by 2012.

Approach

• Extend or to increase coverage under Watershed Development

Programmes and Employment Generation Scheme.

• Providing basic rural infrastructure to improve quality of life.

• Decentralized governance in programme planning and

implementation.

• Improving Credit linkages/Rural self employment through

federations of SHGS by providing better marketing infrastructure.

• Human resource development by providing quality training for skill

upgradation.

• Promotion of Information Technology (I.T) interventions in

information dissemination and public grievances redressal for better

vigilance and monitoring system.

Areas of Concern

Identification of key activity for cluster is very important. Although certain

activities are identified at the block level, micro level planning is yet to be done to

give fillip to the activities. lakh of good quality training institutions and Non

Government Organizations at the grass root level are hindering the progress of

implementation of schemes.

Available natural resource such as minor forest produce is to be used as raw

material for various economic activities to be identified at the block level. One

issue that needs to be addressed is the over dependency of rural families on

agriculture and allied activities. Diversification from traditional agriculture to

96

other land based activities such as horticulture, aquaculture, animal husbandry and

sericulture are getting attention.

Training is a week linkage in the scheme. lakh of good quality training

institutes greatly affects the success of the programme. Therefore it will be the

endeavour to establish regional training centers in different regions of the state and

to provide good quality training to the rural people.

Marketing strategy is an integral part of every self-employment venture.

Market intelligence has to be developed. Survey of local and urban markets to

understand product demand is necessary. Rural haats or village markets have to be

set up to position the products of self-help groups.

In the plan period Rural Haats will be established in important district

plakhes such as Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg, Korba and Rajnandgaon. Depending

upon the success of these rural haats it will be extended to other district head

quarters.

It will be the endeavour of the state to provide basic minimum facilities to

the rural masses to improve quality of life in the rural areas. Public facilities such

as Anganwadi Bhawan, PDS shop, Primary School building, Middle School

building, Primary Health Centre, etc will be built to cover as many villages as

possible through different schemes of rural development

Rural Infrastructure

Housing: To provide houses to every shelterless family, especially for SC/ST as

they constitute more than 50% of the total B.P.L families.

Rural Roads: To strengthen the rural connectivity is another major concerned

area for the State. Rural connectivity is a very crucial component for the

development of rural areas. The surface and unsurfaced road length at 21 km and

25 km per 100 sq km area respectively is one of the lowest in the country. Village

roads constitute about 80% of the road network in the state. This means that rural

connectivity would continue to be a priority area for the State Government.

Drought Proofing & Employment Generation

Because of the low irrigation percentage large number of labourers

dependent upon agriculture activity migrates to other parts of the country in search

of employment. The last four year figures indicate that on and average 60 % of

families that migrates are from three districts, Raipur, Durg and Mahasamund.

97

During the 10th

plan period 1402.76 lakh man days were generated through

different schemes of Rural Development. In the 11th

plan period this will be

doubled. Durable assets such as tanks, irrigation canals, and stop dams will be

created not only to provide employment to these members but also to increase the

irrigation potential of the State. This will help the marginal BPL families who are

just below the poverty line to come above the poverty line. Small users groups

will be constituted to maintain these structures.

Watershed Development

Agriculture is the main stay for the 78% rural population of the State. The

Agricultural economy of the State is characterized by dependence on nature, low

investments, low productivity, mono-cropping, inadequate irrigation facilities and

small & marginal holdings. A judicious land and water management policy

combined with efforts to bring more area under plough and double cropping will

improve the agricultural production and productivity.

About 80% of the total cultivable area comes under rainfed farming. The

rainfed areas/dry lands are characterized by low productivity and low input use.

Hence, rainfed areas can be developed based on watershed approach.

The implementing and monitoring units at district level and below will be

strengthened and scientific inputs will be provided to strengthen the planning

process through GIS. The state level watershed cell will also be strengthened for

effective implementation of these schemes.

Delivery Mechanism

All the programmes have been designed to eliminate the different facets of

rural poverty. The success of these programmes depend on the better

implementation. Successful implementation of these programmes require an

appropriate policy framework, adequate funds, and an effective delivery

mechanism.

It should have people's participation at every stage of the programmes.

Adequate staffs will be provided at the district and block levels for effective

implementation of different rural development schemes.

Administrative and financial devolution by the states to the PRIs will be the

main focus of 11th Plan. The Constitution has plakhed onerous responsibilities on

PRIs. They require financial resources to discharge the tasks assigned to them and

emerge as viable institutions of self-government. Financial devolution is also

98

desirable as the control of investment decision by local communities' leads to

better utilization of scarce resources.

The Panchayats (Extension of Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA), 1996

extended the Provisions of 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, to the

Scheduled Areas of Chhattisgarh, The PESA enables tribals to assume control

over their own destiny and to preserve and conserve their traditional rights over

natural resources, including land. PESA would be effectively implemented during

the Eleventh Plan period to resolve the issues of tribal exploitation and alienation.

The Path Ahead

Programmes that provide self-employment and wage employment to the

poor and also to create durable infrastructure would be implemented with greater

vigour during the Eleventh Plan.

SGSY would provide opportunities for self-employment to the rural poor.

This would shift to process-oriented approach. Especially the formation and

strengthening of the groups would be supported to go into the second phase of

federation and cooperatives of the SHGs.

Network of institutions that promote the self help movement would be

created during the Plan period. Partnership would be forged between NGOs and

other community-based organizations, government agencies and other financial

institutions. There would be a system of identifying and training local facilitators.

Key activities would be planned to respond to the needs of the area.

Training programmes for beneficial linkages with training institutions would be

forged.

Greater attention would be paid to marketing. Marketing infrastructure at

the block/district level would be set up for display of products. Marketing

Linkages will be developed with private channels, industrial enterprises and export

houses for higher value realization for SGSY groups.

Special attention would be paid to provide technical support for upgrading

technology and standardization of products. Use of information and

communication technology would be promoted during the plan period in this

regard.

�The wage employment programme would have three streams which

would seek to address the need of rural infrastructure at the village level, ensure

guaranteed employment of at least 100 days in areas facing chronic

99

unemployment/migration and provide relief from natural calamities such as

droughts & floods and other contingencies.

The promotion of a movement which enhances social capital and forges

linkages with other formal and informal stakeholders engaged in developmental

activities would be a major thrust area during the Plan. PRIs have created a space

for the involvement of the community in governance. There is a need to provide

greater attention to effective empowerment of PRIs. The Government recognizes

the necessity of building capabilities at the local levels for planning,

implementation and monitoring of development programmes. These would be

undertaken on a large scale during the Plan period.

Human Resources Development

The State has about 5,600 Rural Development officials and about 1,59,000

Panchayati Raj functionaries, who are contributing in achieving the ultimate

objectives of the programmes. Training and skill upgradation of these

functionaries and officials at State SIRD, Regional Training Institutes, Rural Haats

and Facilitation Centers would be one of the priorities of the State in the coming

years.

ANNUAL PLAN - 2008-09

Chhattisgarh over the passage of time has witnessed many development

alternatives as far as the States prosperity and development is concerned.

Government has also taken up issues, which are on the top priority of the people.

With an objective to further reduce the rural poverty and make rural poor self-

sufficient, several Centrally Sponsored Schemes are implemented in the State. The

State also runs a few additional schemes from its own financial resources.

PANCHAYAT

Panchayat Raj has been in operation in the undivided State since 1994. The

Panchayat Raj system has been not only widely accepted in Chhattisgarh, but has

also contributed to the holistic and overall development of the State. At the same

time, since the Panchayat Raj concept is essentially the fulcrum of development, it

is necessary to further strengthen the system in a way that it can reflect the current

efforts aimed at revitalizing and strengthening the Panchayat Raj Institutions.

Panchayat Raj in Chhattisgarh

1. On the recommendation of the 'Balwant Rai Mehta Committee', the

Chhattisgarh Panchayat Raj Act, 1962 came into force in the State with effect

from 1st April 1963. As a result of this the 3 tier Panchayat Raj Institutions started

functioning from 12th April 1963.

2. Consequent to the 73rd Amendment of the Indian Constitution, Article-243

and Part-9 of the Constitution provide for devolution of powers and functions to

the 3 tier Panchayats. In Chhattisgarh, Panchayat Raj Institutions have been

provided with some additional features such as the representation of women in

Panchayat Raj Institutions including the post of chairpersons. Subsequent to the

Constitutional Amendment, the Chhattisgarh Panchayat Raj Act was

comprehensively amended and enacted as new act ' The Chhattisgarh Panchayat

Raj Act, 1993'. The important changes brought in the Chhattisgarh Panchayat Act,

1993 are as follows:

successor should be completed, and in the event of a supersession of

a Panchayat body, its successor should be elected within a period of

6 months.

ii. The 33 per cent representation of women in the 3 tier Panchayat is a

mandatory provision. Reservation for women in respect of

Chairpersons of the Panchayats to the extent of 33 per cent is a

unique feature to promote representation.

iii. In addition to the reservation for SC and ST in proportion to the

population of the respective groups in the Panchayat area, provision

of reservation for SC and ST not less then 50 per cent of the total

seat, and reservation of 25 per cent for OBC in respect of

membership and chairpersons of these bodies is a step further to

ensure their representation.

iv. The Sarpanchs of the village Panchayat is to be elected by the

villagers directly.

106

v. In respect of Panchayats of the Scheduled Area,, at least 50% of the

membership of the Panchayat is to be reserved for the ST and all the

posts of the Chairperson of such Panchayat body is also to be

reserved for ST.

vi. An independent State Election Commission has been established.

vii. The First State Finance Commission has already submitted its report

to the State Government.

viii. The Annual Budget should be prepared and approved within the

stipulated time.

ix. The Act provides for devolution of functions as listed in Schedule

11 of the Constitution to the respective village, Block and District

Panchayats.

x. The meetings of the Gram Sabha are being held at all revenue or

forest villages as per the provisions in the Chhattisgarh Panchayat

Raj Act, 1993. All the voters of the village are the members of the

Gram Sabha as per the Constitution. "Every year four Gram Sabha is

being held" as per Section 6 of Chhattisgarh Panchayat Raj Act,

1993.

xi. 'Provision to transfer of certain functions already done under any

enactment to Panchayats', provide for further devolution of powers

and responsibilities with respect to development plans and

implementation of certain schemes. These provisions have been

added to give effect to the Constitutional provisions of Chapter IX

and Schedule XI.

3. The 29 subjects listed in the 11th Schedule of the Constitution are also

enumerated in the State Act. It may be Stated that a large number of activities are

already being performed by the three-tier Panchayats. Out of 29 activities listed in

the 11th Schedule, 28 activities are transferred to the 3 tier Panchayats.

Objectives of the Annual Plan:

Tribal sub-plan, MADA and Cluster Pockets (V scheduled Area)

During the preparation of fifth plan it was felt that the amount invested

by the different development departments of the State Govt. is not sufficient for

the development of tribal areas. Also there was a need to make fundamental

changes in the development programs / schemes of the department taking into

account the specific nature of the tribal areas.

So strategy of "Tribal sub-plan" was adopted for the overall

development of scheduled tribes residing in the tribal areas. Provisions were

made for the financial resources, budget arrangements, monitoring &

evaluation of the proper & smooth functioning of the plan / scheme. "Integrated

Development" was the key aspect of the program and hence "The Integrated

Tribal Development Projects" were setup to implement the schemes/programs

for the development of the areas & tribal population ensuring the involvement

of various development departments.

The Tribal & Scheduled caste development department of the State govt.

was entrusted with the responsibility of "Nodal Department".

Under the concept of "Tribal Sub-plan" initially such Tahsils were

covered where Tribal population were 50% or more of the total population of

the Tahsil. Afterwards development blocks having more than 50% tribal

population were covered.

The I.T.D.P. projects were setup for the tribal population in the areas

having more than one lakh population, for the tribal dominated areas having

less than one lakh population were covered under the medium projects. At

present 19 ITDPs are functioning in the State. The ITDP Nagri, District

Dhamatari is the only major project, which was setup after the formation of the

State of Chhattisgarh.

In the 6th plan period, the tribal areas and group of villages having

population more than 10 thousands with more than 50% ST population of the

total population were marked as "Modified Area Development Approach" more

commonly known as "MADA" pockets. At present 9 MADA pockets are

functioning in the State. Similarly in the seventh plan period small pockets

termed as clusters were identified where population was 5000 or more and the

scheduled tribe population was more than 50% of the total population. There

are two clusters in the State out side the boundaries of TSP area .

Districts of Sarguja, Korea, Jashpur Korba, Bastar, Kanker, Dantewada

are covered fully & rest of the nine districts are covered partially under the

tribal sub-plan. The 85 Tribal Development blocks are fully covered in the sub-

plan area. The geographical boundary of the tribal sub-plan area is 8800 sq.

k.m. which constitutes 65.12% of the total area of the State.

111

As per the census of 2001 the population of sub-plan area is 81.013 lakh

which is 45.49% of the total population of the State. Scheduled tribe

population is 46.86 lakh in the sub plan area, which is about 54.48% of the

total population of the sub-plan area.

Each Development department must earmark 38.00% of the total plan

outlay for the development of the TSP area. The demand number 41, 42, 68,

77, 82, 83 are created in the State budget to ensure that the amount allocated

for TSP area must not be used elsewhere.

The Tribal and Scheduled Caste Development Department prepares the

budget of Tribal Sub-Plan.The financial requirements are met with the

provisions made in the State plan, Special Central Assistance, Central Sector

Scheme and Centrally Sponsored Schemes.

For the tribal and scheduled cast development, Department's proposed

plan for the year 2007-08 was for Rs. 43115.93 lakh, which is 80.56% of the

total plan outlay. The proposed outlay for the Eleventh five year plan is Rs.

187469.60 lakh.

Primitive Tribe Development

During the fifth plan period with the inception of the tribal sub-plan,

State. The Pahari Korba, Abujhamaria & Baiga tribes in the 5th

plan period,

Kamars in the 6th

plan period and Birhors in the 7th

plan period were given the

status of primitive tribal groups.

The special administrative setup at district level known as Abhikaran is

established for sanctioning the development programs made for PTGs. The

Chairman of these Abhikarans is the nominated persons from that particular

PTG for which it is established.

In the State the 24771 Families of primitive tribal groups are residing

having the total population 114483. Special efforts are continued for the

Present Scenario

Chhattisgarh is the ninth largest state, but ranks 17th in population with just

over 21 million inhabitants. Chhattisgarh is rich in natural resources and retains

44% of forest cover, which supports livelihood activities, especially for tribal

residents. The agriculture sector contributes about a third of State's economic

output. An estimated 45% of the State's population live below the poverty line.

Scheduled tribes and scheduled casts make up 45% of the population with an

estimated 57% living below the poverty line.

Water Resources Development and Irrigation

Increasing the productivity of agriculture is vital to the overall development

of economy, improvement in rural livelihood, and poverty reduction.

The pace of Water Resources Development has been accelerated to increase

the net water availability by creating additional storages, completion of ongoing

projects and improvement in water use efficiency, bridging the gap between the

potential created and its utilization through restoration and modernization of old

irrigation system, conjunctive use of ground and surface water by constructing

anicut and adopting tube well / lift and drip irrigation systems, promoting

Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) and large scale people's participation

in water conservation programme.

The Annual rainfall of the state is about 1,300 mm and average availability

of surface water is about 59,900 Mecum every year. After considering reservation

of riparian rights of downstream states, Chhattisgarh can utilise about 41,719

Mecum of Surface water currently, but at present it is utilizing about 13,200

Mecum of surface water (31.64%). The available Ground water resources of the

State are estimated as 13,678 Mecum, whereas the utilisation is about 2,742

Mecum (20.40%) only. At present about 17 lakh hectares of irrigated land exists,

which is about 29% of gross sown area. According to an estimate, about 26 lakh

hectares additional potential can be developed to make a total of 43 lakh hectare

irrigated area in the State. The State will be adding 8 lakh hectares of new irrigated

area during the current 5-year plan.

Looking to rapid construction and early benefits, construction of minor

irrigation reservoirs are being proposed. Diversion works are given priority to

avoid submergence of valuable forestland. Augmentation schemes are being

proposed to save water in existing reservoirs for use in additional command areas.

122

Similarly lining of the existing old canal Systems are also being taken up to

reduces the water losses and ensures optimum utilization of available water

storage in the state.

Under Hydrological Project Phase-I, an integrated Hydrology Information

System (HIS) was established covering data related to various hydrological

parameters. World Bank assisted Hydrology Project Phase-II will implement

activities towards improved planning and design of water resources department.

The project has been launched in April 2006 and the cost of state component is Rs.

21.51 Crores. The project period is 6 years.

Target for Irrigation during XIth

Five Year Plan

The state has an ultimate aim of creating a potential of 43 lakh hectares

with a view to raise the irrigation up to 75% of the gross cropped area.

The target for creating of 3.60 lakh hectares was set for Xth Five Year Plan

and the achievement is 3.11 lakh Hacts.

A target for creating of potential of 3.5 lakh hectares from surface water &

0.50 lakh hectares from shallow tube well schemes, with addition of 4.00 lakh

hectares from private tube wells / lift schemes has been set for XIth

five year plan.

3. Gap between created and utilized Irrigation Potential

At the end of 2004-05 irrigation potential created was 16.26 lakh hectares

(Kharif 13.44 lakh hectares + Rabi - 2.82 lakh hectares) whereas the utilization is

10.50 lakh ha i.e. about 65% overall and 78% for Kharif.

Utilization is low primarily due to single crop (paddy) cultivation in the

State. The main issues are low water use efficiency and tendency to grow water

intensive crops like rice. Increase in efficiency could help in making water

available to increased irrigated area. Also, many of the existing irrigation projects

in the State are operating below their potential due to operational and maintenance

deficiencies.

To minimize the gap between created and utilized potential following steps

are being taken.

1. Rehabilitation work of 59 minor tanks with CCA 20998 hectares of

Kabirdham District costing Rs. 53.80 crores which has been completed in March

2006 under "National Restoration of Water-Bodies" project.

2. ERM work of some of the medium and major projects is being taken up.

Ongoing work of Kodar, Pairi Jonk and Tandula ERM (Lining) works is proposed

to be completed in 2007-08.

3. Under the Asian Development Bank assisted Chhattisgarh Irrigation

Development Project (CIDP), rehabilitation of old 200 minor and 20 medium

schemes covering about 2 lakh hectares will be taken up during XIth

Plan period. It

will restore the irrigation areas that farmers can effectively use, to at least 90% of

their designed potential (currently actual utilization of minor irrigation schemes is

only about 40% against created potential). Over 120,000 farmer families shall be

directly benefited from various Renovation & Up-gradation (R&U) activities.

127

Under the Project, over 2,00,000 ha. of land will receive R&U, resulting in a 50%

incremental increase in Kharif paddy production & 200% incremental increase in

Rabi-cropping.

There is provision to ensure Social Mobilisation and build awareness and

the CBOs will build awareness and organize farmers and WUAs to undertake: a)

an active role in designing and implementing R&U, b) effective 0&M and share

management with Water Resources Department (WRD), and c) adopt agricultural

innovations focusing on enhancing khariff production and rabi diversified

cropping with matching water management schedules. CBO will undertake

capacity building associated with these interventions, facilitating WUA

involvement in credit, marketing and other agricultural inputs. She/He will assist

WUA manage conflicts; assist in self Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of

WUAs and in Project M&E; and engage in any other relevant responsibilities

assigned by the Supervisor.

Under CIDP (Scheme no. 5678) the proposed outlay for the year 2007-08 is

Rs. 51.30 Crores.

4. Under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme the work of

renovation of large number of projects in 10 districts would be taken up on priority

basis.

5. Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM)

Under the Asian Development Bank assisted "Chhattisgarh Irrigation

Development Project" (CIDP) it is proposed to strengthen the capacity and roles of

WUA's. The election for new WUA's have been conducted and the formation of

Farmer's Organization has been completed by 5/2007.Now CIDP will provide

agricultural support services for systems that have undergone R&U.

6. Command Area Development (Scheme no. 874, 2823, 3436, 5593, 6304,

6305)

Command Area Development Programme is being executed through

under XIth

Five year plan and Rs. 212.90 Crores for the year 2007-08. 50% Central

assistance is proposed to be obtained under CAD programme.

Under CIDP also, installation of field channels or on-farm water

management plan is a prerequisite to avail funds. Project support through the

diversified cropping program will be provided as grants to WUAs through the PIM

Unit, based on the number of hectares of Rabi or diversified crops. Under active

guidance of State Agriculture Department PIM Unit staff will also facilitate farm-

128

to-farm and WUA-to-WUA demonstrations of successful Rabi cropping to share

farmer experiences.

Electricity is considered to be one of the most reliable indicators for

progress and prosperity of a country and is the most important element of

infrastructural sector, on which thrives the national economy. Therefore, XIth

Five

Year Energy Plan for the State of Chhattisgarh has been prepared keeping this

perspective in view.

While preparing the XIth

Five Year Plan for the State of Chhattisgarh in

respect of power, attempt has been made to imbibe upon the guiding principles as

stipulated in the Electricity Act, 2003. These are :-

i) Plan of generation, transmission and distribution conducive to

development of electricity industry in the State.

ii) Promoting competition.

iii) Protecting consumers’ interest.

iv) Supply of electricity to all areas.

v) Rationalization of electricity tariff.

vi) Promotion of efficient and environmentally benign policy.

vii) Introducing regulatory regime.

viii) Transparent policies regarding subsidies.

ix) Reforms

Sustainable development and CDM are the other thrust areas which have

received focus for vision 2012 on power development in the State of Chhattisgarh.

Overall integrated development through synergy of generation, transmission and

distribution has been the aim to be achieved by means and measures visualized in

this plan document.

The aspect wise details are briefed as follows:-

Demand forecast, Availability & Load Management

The State of Chhattisgarh since inception has been facing peak power

shortages, the magnitude increasing year by year which at present had assumed

serious proportions. The peak power shortages are likely to continue upto 2009-

10. With the commissioning of Power Stations within the State, the peak power

shortage, which would be of the order 30% at the beginning of XI th

Five Year

Plan, would come down to 7.5% by the end of 2009-10. By 2010-11, the State will

assume power surplus status. By the end of XIth

Five Year Plan i.e. 2011-12, the

State would be surplus in power almost by 3000 MW with reference to peak

demand. Till the year 2009-10, when the shortage continues, the demand

management will have to be arranged by bilateral power purchases and by

introducing load shedding measures.

132

The optimization in demand management is intended to be achieved

through introduction of time differential tariff also which would result in flattening

of the load curve. If the commissioning of Power Stations, as scheduled,

materializes, the surplus generation of almost 2800 MW will have to be sold to

the deficit States/prospective buyers. The growth of demand in the State of

Chhattisgarh in the initial stages, after its bifurcation from the erstwhile State of

Madhya Pradesh has been phenomenal up to 14% which has come down to 10%

by 2006-07. Further saturation of load growth would not yield a growth rate of

more than7% by the end of XIth

Five Year Plan i.e. 2011-12.

The growth of demand in the State will largely depend on the industrial

policy of the State Government and especially on heavy power intensive industries

in the State. Taking into account the historical factors and based on the experience

over the years, demand forecast has been made for the XIth

Five Year Plan based

on the fading memory algorithm which is expected to be true to a large extent.

Thus XIth

Five Year Plan would be a turning point as far as power

situation in the State is concerned.

Power Generation Scenario

CSEB has planned for commissioning of Thermal Power Projects of

almost 5420 MW and Hydel power of 560 MW. The State has vast reserve of coal

which is estimated to be 35,000 Millilon Tonnes, sufficient for electricity

generation of 35,000 MW for 100 years.

Similarly, the State has a potential of 1250 MW Hydel generation in

addition to 500MW Bodhghat Power Station on Indrawati River. Thus there is a

large potential of pit head fossil fuel based power generation in the State. In

addition to the Thermal and Hydel generation, there is a potential of 1000 MW to

be generated from Coal Bed Methane (CBM). The Electricity Act, 2003 lays stress

on environmentally friendly and sustainable development. Attention has been paid

by the State Govt. to harness the potential for electricity generation from non-

conventional and renewable sources. Wind power, Small Hydro Power, Solar

Energy, Biogas Energy, Biomass Gasification and Biodiesel from Jatropha can

contribute to a sizeable electricity generation in the State and would form

backbone of sustainable development.

For maximization of power generation from the existing plants,

renovation and modernization of 4 x 50 MW and 2 x 120 MW sets have already

been completed and R&M of 4 x 210 MW sets at Korba (West), has been planned

to be undertaken during the XIth

Five Year Plan, in stages, after commissioning of

2 x 250 MW sets at Korba (East) (New).

133

The Electricity Act, 2003 and National Electricity Policy have recognized

the importance of Captive Power Plants and their contribution towards

development of electricity industry. Therefore, the Government has adopted a

liberalized Captive Power Policy. The existing CPP capacity in total is 1900 MW

and during the XIth

Five Year Plan, the captive power generation is likely to go up

to 4000 MW.

The State provides a convenient power generation site for pit head

generation and therefore, it has attracted a number of IPPs totaling to 4500 MW

capacity. Some of the IPPs have a vision plan for expansion in the capacity upto

4000 MW.

Thus as far as power generation in the State is concerned, it has a

tremendous potential and the State is scheduled to become an important power hub

in the country. However, it has to be kept in mind that the State's precious reserves

of resources are preserved / utilized in optimum manner for the welfare of the

State.

Co-Generation And Non-Conventional Energy Sources.

There is only one Cogen plant in the State at Kawardha with generating

capacity of 6MW, which has been commissioned during the month of August 06.

As far non-conventional sources of energy are concerned, they are being dealt by

CREDA directly under the control of the State Government. 4 x 2.5 MW set at

Gangrel and 2 x 3.5 MW set at Sikasar Mini Hydel plant are also under service.

Transmission

With the estimated load growth and for evacuation of power from the

proposed power stations EHV lines will have to be constructed for transmission

of power from the generating stations to the load centers.

The earlier figures submitted by CSEB to the CEA/Central Planning

Commission has been suitably revised to suit the requirement of power evacuation

from power projects and looking to the estimated load growth at load centers. As

per revised updated plan the following EHV lines would be required to be built

during XI th Plan.

400KV lines - 3694 Ckt. KM.

220KV Lines - 2185 Ckt. KM.

132KV lines - 2506 Ckt. KM.

134

All the proposed lines are double circuit and double stung lines. 3 Nos.

400KV Sub-station, 8 Nos. 220KV Sub-station and 21 Nos. 132KV Sub-stations

have also been planned for completion during the Five Year Plan. To do the above

work a plan outlay of Rs.5228.01 Crore would be needed. It has been proposed

that 100% expenditure on transmission would be financed through loan from

PFC/REC/Financial institutions.

From the plan of power development vis-à-vis growth of load, the State

would be surplus of power by the year 2009-10. This will require transmittal of

power to the other needy States, who would be in need of power at that time. For

this purpose inter-State lines are proposed to be built by Power Grid, who are

nominated as Central Transmission Utility for developing inter-State links, which

would ultimately culminate into formation of National Grid.

Distribution

Electricity Act 2003 in section 4,5,6 provides for the rural electrification

through on-grid and through off-grid (stand alone system) system. Sec. 6 provides

for supply of electricity to all the rural areas including villages and hamlets. The

Central Government has fixed a programme for 100% village electrification and

electricity to all households by the year 2012 i.e. by the end of XIth Five Year

Plan. Rural electrification programme and development of rural areas have been

planned through the following measures:-

1. RAJIV GANDHI GRAMEEN VIDYUTIKARAN YOJNA

CREDA

Major activities:

1. Rural Electrification (Scheme no. 5415):-

At the time of inception of CREDA, there were about 1250 unelectrified

villages in the State of Chhattisgarh. Most of these villages were situated

in dense forest and as such it was not possible to electrify these villages

through conventional power. Hence these villages were required to be

electrifies through non conventional energy sources. Since the formation

of CREDA, 524 villages and 75 hamlets have been electrified through

Solar Energy thereby benefiting above 25000 families. From the year

2006-07, energy from biomass and biofuel is also being tapped for rural

electrification.

During the year 2008-09, about 100 villages are proposed to be electrified

with an outlay of Rs.1520.00 lakh. Initially CREDA is planning to

electrify the villages inhabiting up to 100 families.

Revenue from Minerals Mineral revenue target for 2006-07 was Rs. 824.62 crore against which the mineral revenue contributed Rs. 832.35 crore to the State exchequer which is Rs. 94.50 crore more as compared to the mineral revenue of Rs. 737.85 crore received during the year 2005-06. During 2006-07 revenue received from major mineral was Rs. 786.82 crore and from minor mineral was Rs. 45.53 crore. Foremost contribution to the mineral revenue is from Coal. During the financial year 2006-07 Coal contributed mineral revenue of Rs. 639.58 crore, Limestone Rs. 70.76 crore, Iron ore Rs. 47.72 crore, Bauxite Rs. 19.71 crore, Dolomite Rs. 5.09 crore and Rs. 3.96 crore from other major minerals. Gram Panchayats have been sought to be empowered by transferring to them sand quarries in their area and allowing them to collect royalty on sand and use it for local development works.

Proposed mineral revenue target for the year 2007-08 is Rs. 977.38 crore.

During the year 2007-08 following two schemes currently launching by the department:- 1. Revenue receipt during 2006-07 from mineral resources shall be distributed

during 2006-07 to the three tier Panchayati Raj Institutions for which Rs. 1112.27 lakh proposed in the plan.

2. During 2006-07 provision of Rs. 1000 Lakh has been made for expenditure

from Chhattisgarh Mineral Development Fund for the activities of

161

Chhattisgarh Mineral Development Corporation and Directorate of Geology and Mining.

Development of Mineral Resources: Coal is the main mineral Resource of the State and its availability at competitive prices to local units is critical for industrial development of the State. We understand that the Central Government is in the process of formulation of a new policy for allocation of coal areas for captive mining. Any such policy must provide for fully meeting the coal requirement of the local units. The draft policy need to be shared and discussed with the coal producing States and their concerns should be addressed. This is necessary also for the reason that matters of access to coal mines located in the forests in the Scheduled Areas and statutory clearances particularly relating to forest and environment are processed by the State Governments. In Chhattisgarh forest area is 44% and revenue forest area is 12%. Most of the mineral bearing area of iron ore, coal, bauxite, tin , corundum etc. are located in forest area and the exploitation of these minerals is hampered due to the stringent provisions of Forest Conservation Act, 1980. There is a need to evolve sustainable solution for grater availability of these Mineral Bearing Forest Area for mining activities. Optimum utilization of mineral deposits located in the northern and southern part of the State is not possible due to lack of railway and road infrastructure in these areas.

VILLAGE & SMALL ENTERPRISES (VSE)

(I) KHADI AND VILLAGE INDUSTRIES BOARD (KVIB)

The main aim of Khadi Board is to generate employment opportunities in

rural area and to strengthen rural economy through such employment generation. The Board has been generating employment through thread spinning, weaving of clothes, financing family based projects up to 1.00 lakh under State Government Funded Scheme of Government of India. The approach for the year 2008-09 is as given below:

1. The thread spinning will enhanced considerably as it provides employment

to household women. So for this task was done in the shades constructed for the purpose where the Board employed a manager. In the next Five-Year Plan, the quantum jump will achieved by doing spinning task through Self-Help Group (SHGs) of women. With this process, one manager can manage, say, 10 groups thus generating 10 fold employments. All thread so produced will be weaved through additional weavers trained for the purpose. Present employment is 215 which are slated to go up to 1500.

2. The Board has already started motivating staff for doing more cases under

Margin Money and Family Based schemes. Both the targets will double. A 3-fold increase will be seen under these schemes during this Five-Year Plan.

3. For creating better entrepreneurs and motivated staff of the Board a training

center will be established at Raipur.

Department Of Information Technology And Biotechnology

Chhattisgarh State with wide-ranging socio-economic disparities is now

witnessing the ongoing Information Technology (IT) revolution. The Government

of Chhattisgarh visions ‘Vikas mool mantra, Aadhar loktantra’ (‘Driving

Development through Democratic Governance’) and believes Information and

Communication Technology (ICT) is a particularly important medium for the

State in reaching out and improving livelihoods specially for its overwhelming SC

/ ST population across 44% forest area, which had largely remained untouched by

modern development.

The State of Chhattisgarh recognizes the importance of Information and

Communication Technology as a key enabler in its economic development and

improving the quality of life.

The State seeks to create a knowledge society where access to information

and knowledge would be symmetric amongst all seekers and users and every

citizen must feel comfortable in accessing information through IT – directly or

through public - private partnerships.

Accordingly, the State has prepared its IT policy with a vision of establishing an

information society consisting of informed, active and therefore responsible

citizens – the basic tenet of a true democracy. It seeks to provide all citizens

widespread and easy access to government services, in the local language

effectively addressing the existing digital divide and promoting entrepreneurs.

To realize its vision, the IT policy lays considerable stress on building a

comprehensive IT infrastructure down to blocks and villages. This would not only

help improve access, it would also help in bringing social development by

supporting rapid economic development, facilitate distance education, improve

levels of education and attract investment.

Some of the major IT initiatives in the State of Chhattisgarh are as follows:

1. STPI-Bhilai (Scheme no. 5032):- STPI was set up for development of

IT and ITeS industry in the State. As per the MoU with STPI, IT

IT policy of the State is to establish Chhattisgarh as a leading State in the

IT sector. To this end, human resources are to be developed with the skills

at various levels in the IT sector. In the context of IT policy, development

of Chhattisgarh as a major centre of Information Technology Enabled

Services would make possible employment opportunities for the youth of

the State. These services include services in the categories of Call Centre

Services, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Information Content

Development, Medical Transcription and Engineering Design. The scheme

will be only for first 500 seats with maximum of 100 seats per firm.

Provision for this in annual plan 2008-09 is Rs. 5.00 lakh.

3. CHOiCE (Scheme no. 6819):- The Chhattisgarh Online information for

Citizen Empowerment (CHOiCE) project is a State-of-the-art Citizen

centric project providing a range of information and transactional services

to citizens using a single window approach, facilitating a single point of

contact for citizens, transparency in the flow of information, tracking of

applications, improving the pace of response etc. The project also offers

Business-to-Government services in facilitating industrial promotion,

implementation of policy of single investor point of contact, time bound

clearances through seamless integration of various back-end departments

involved in according clearances, increased transparency etc. The project

has been successfully rolled out in Raipur and is being rolled out in five

more districts of Durg, Rajnandgaon, Bilaspur, Surguja & Bastar.

Capacity Building:- Capacity building is an area of lot of emphasis and

Govt. of India wants every State to address capacity building requirements.

National e-governance Plan (NeGP) is one of the most ambitious programs of the

Govt. of India and capacity building is a critical factor for its success. The aim of

Capacity Building is to make the State better placed to envision and steer the

NeGP program in a “projectised mode”. Keeping in view the current IT initiatives

and future plans of the Government, a comprehensive e-Governance roadmap has

already been prepared as first part of the project. This roadmap has been used to

chalk out the capacity building requirements. A four level structure has been

recommended for Chhattisgarh namely the Governing Council (equivalent to

Steering Council, Empowered Committee (equivalent to Apex Committee), State

e-Governance Mission Team (SeMT), Project e-Governance Mission Team

(PeMT).

This project is funded 100% by GoI. Total cost of the project is Rs. 130

lakh, which has been received from GoI. Detailed Project Report for Rs.913.39

lakh has been submitted to GoI for approval.

CHAPTER – IX

FOREST& WILDLIFE

Forests & People

With 44.21% of its geographical area as recorded forest area and 41.42%

forest cover, Chhattisgarh has the 3rd largest forest cover in the country. As per

the Forest survey of India's report of 2003, 2.75% of the forest cover is dense,

66.86% is moderately dense & 30.39% is open forest. Chhattisgarh is one of the

few States, where dense forest area has increased significantly i.e. by 1100 sq. km.

after the formation of the State. Identified as one of the richest bio-diversity

habitats of the country, the forests of Chhattisgarh are the backbone of tribal (32%

of total population) economy. Harnessing the true potential of forests is a key

imperative for development in Chhattisgarh.

The forests of the State fall under two major forest types, i.e., Tropical

Moist Deciduous Forest and the Tropical Dry Deciduous Forest. Sal (Shorea

robusta) and Teak (Tectona grandis) are the two major tree species in the State.

Other notable overwood species are Bija (Pterocarpus marsupium), Saja

(Terminalia tomentosa), Dhawra (Anogeissus latifolia), Mahua (Madhuca indica),

Tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon) etc. Amla (Embilica officinalis), Karra

(Cleistanthus collinus) and Bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) constitute a

significant chunk of middle canopy of the State's forests.

Biogeographically, the State falls in Deccan bio-region comprising

representative fauna of central India like the tiger (Panthera tigris), leopard

(Panthera pardus), gaur (Bos gaurus), sambhar (Cervus unicolor), chital (Axis

axis), nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) and wild boar (Sus scrofa). The State is a

proud possessor of rare wildlife like the wild buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and hill

myna (Gracula religiosa), which have been declared as the State animal and bird

respectively.

Over the years, the forests in the State have suffered serious depletion. This can be

attributed to relentless pressures arising from ever-increasing demand for fuel

wood, fodder and timber; inadequacy of protection measures; diversion of

forestlands to non-forest uses without ensuring compensatory afforestation and

essential environmental safeguards; and the tendency to look upon forests as a

revenue earning resource. As per the F.S.I. report of 2003, 17018 sq. km. of forest

area is degraded (density less than 0.4).

221

Average annual production from forests is 1,60,000 cmt. of timber,

1,80,000 fuel stacks, 26,000 Notional Tonne of Commercial Bamboo and 45,000

N.T. of Industrial Bamboo. Besides timber and bamboo, on an average 18 lakh

standard bags of Tendu patta, 4 lac quintal of Sal seed, 60,000 quintal of Harra

worth Rs. 350 crores is collected annually. State Government does not earn any

revenue from the trade of NTFP, as all the profit from the trade is returned to the

collectors in form of Bonus and investment in local infrastructure works. Total

annual revenue from forests is Rs. 210 crores. As per the Nistar and Grazing

policy of the State people get small timber, fuelwood, Bamboos, fodder and Non-

timber forest produce from the forest free of cost or at subsidised rates. Value of

these produce is approximately Rs. 1100 crores annually.

State has 3 National Parks and 11 Wild Life Sanctuaries and 1 Biosphere

reserve which are rich in fauna and flora. State has 1 Project Tiger Area spread

over Indrawati National Park. Govt. of India have given their assent for inclusion

of Achankmar, Sitanadi & Udanti sanctuaries in Project Tiger scheme.

The activities of the forest department mainly relate to forest & wildlife

protection, conservation, scientific management and development of forests as per

the approved Working Plans.

Because of widespread availability of medicinal plants the State has been

declared a 'Herbal State'. Steps have been taken to conserve and develop medicinal

plants with the active involvement of local people.

As per the State Forest Policy local people are being involved in protection,

development & management of forests. Under the Joint Forest Management 7820

Committees have been formed.

222

Annual Plan 2008-09

I. State Scheme 1 Management of Forests - Implementation of working plan :

As per the provisions of Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, all forests

are required to be work as per the Working Plan approved by the Government

of India. Working plans are prepared in keeping with the principles of

sustainable forests management. In Chhattisgarh, all felling, silvicultural

operations and maintenance of forests are being carried out as per the

prescriptions of Working Plans duly approved by Ministry of Environment &

Forests, Govt. of India. The permission for the harvesting of the forest is

accorded by GoI on the basis of area regenerated. It is therefore, necessary to

implement the provisions of Working plans which provides employment in

lean season and ensure livelihood security to the tribals.

1.1 Rehabilitation of Degraded Forests (Scheme no. 2962 and 2965) :

As per FSI Report of 2003, 17018 sq.km. of forest area is under-

stocked/ degraded. Degradation of forest has led to steep decrease in

production of forest produce and employment generation in rural areas. As

the economy of forest dwellers, mostly tribals is dependent on forests, top

priority has been given to rehabilitation of these areas through coppice

regeneration and afforestation under the scheme of Rehabilitation of

Degraded Forests (under scheme no. 2962 and 2965). Under the scheme

all coupes under Rehabilitation Working Circle are treated. In addition

degraded orange areas and degraded areas in other working circles are also

proposed to be treated. It is proposed to take up 70000 hectares of degraded

forest for treatment during 2008-09. In addition to above 2,05,000 ha. area

treated in the last four years shall also be maintained.

other persons engaged in making of Bamboo handicrafts and articles of daily use.

As per working plan prescriptions 40000 ha. degraded bamboo area is to be

rehabilitated during 2008-09. An additional 15000 ha. degraded orange areas &

degraded bamboo forests of Bamboo Overlapping working circle are proposed to

be treated during the year. During 2008-09 it is proposed to rehabilitate a total of

55000 ha. of degraded bamboo forests. Out of this 10000 ha. will be rehabilitated

through plantation and 45000 ha. by rehabilitation of old bamboo clumps through

cleaning and soil conservation works. During 2008-09 an amount of Rs. 2775

lakh has been proposed for the scheme under demand- 10, 41 & 64 with an

224

objective of rehabilitation of bamboo forests, increasing production of bamboo in

non-forest areas and to improve the economy of forest dwellers. It is expected that

It needs sincere efforts to increase tree cover in these areas. The tree

planting on bunds of fields, homesteads, block planting on farmlands and

community lands, road side plantations and plantation on other waste land needs

due priority. This will increase tree cover in forest deficient areas that would help

improve environment and local climate.

Schemes relating to Increasing of tree cover in areas outside the forest

2.1 Environmental Forestry (Scheme no. 2536) :- Under this scheme, plantations are done mostly in urban areas for

improving the environment. The maintenance of spot of recreation like Smriti

Van, Botanical gardens is carried out under this scheme. It is proposed to plant 10

lakh plants at a cost of Rs. 700 lakh during the year, along with maintenance of old

plantations. Under the scheme Rs. 875.00 lakh has been proposed in the

Annual Plan of 2008-09.

2.2 Social Forestry (Scheme no. 4475) :-

Scheme aims at extension activities in non forest areas. Afforestation of

degraded waste land, plantations in non forest area, extension activities such as

3.1 Direction and Administration (Scheme no. 2723) :-

Under the scheme equipments and vehicles necessary for strengthening of

protection infrastructure and administration of the department are purchased. At

present Forest Protection infrastructure in the State is inadequate to meet the ever

increasing challenges of illicit felling, encroachment, illegal mining and poaching.

There is an acute shortage of patrolling vehicles for flying squads and gazetted

227

officers. For effective control on illicit fellings, illegal transport of forest produce,

illegal mining and poaching it is essential to provide patrolling vehicles up to

range office level. A total of 385 additional patrolling vehicles are required for this

purpose.

Information technology can play a pivotal role in forestry planning,

management and administration. Cutting end technology such as GIS, RS,

Computer & Communication technology can be immensely helpful in forest

planning, management and protection. It is proposed to introduce total e-

governance in the Forest Department during the plan period.

State has more than 13000 kms of forests roads, which are the only

approach to many villages located in remote forest areas. These roads are

important for timely transportation of forest produce. Forest roads are fair-weather

roads as they are cut off by small river and nallas during the rainy season. It is

proposed to construct 300 culverts and causeways under the scheme during

2008-09 at a cost of Rs. 600.00 lakh.

4. Forestry Research Scheme

4.1. Forestry Research (Scheme no. 5089) :-

Forestry Research is an essential component of forest management. There

are three research and extension center in the State one each at Raipur, Bilaspur

and Jagdalpur. These research center need adequate financial support for carrying

out research. The scheme aims at improving the quality of planting stock, selection

of suitable species for Agro-climatic Zones. Present requirement is totally

inadequate because of which no new research has been taken up in recent past.

During 2008-09, a provision of Rs. 80.00 lakh has been proposed.

4.2. Establishment of State Forest Research Institute (Scheme no. 1859) :-

To give boost to research in the forestry sector in the State, the State Govt.

has decided to establish a State Forestry Research Institute at Raipur. The estimate

on establishment of the research institute is to the tune of Rs. 29.05 crore out of

which Rs. 2.50 crore has been deposited with the Chhattisgarh Housing Board for

the construction works. An amount of Rs. 260.75 lakh is proposed for part

construction of SFRI and salaries of staff during the year 2008-09.

forests, promote research in sustainable harvesting of MFP, processing and trade

in minor forest products, resulting in economic upliftment of forest dwellers, agro-

forestry, quality seed production and certification of seeds.

MFP and Medicinal Plants : Chhattisgarh having 44 percent geographical area under forest is very rich

in NWFP resources. These produce are used by rural communities as medicine

and food. Moreover, the rural communities earn substantial income especially

during non-agriculture season through the collection and sale of these produce.

Currently, trade in nationalized NWFP is organized and controlled by the

Chhattisgarh State Minor Forest Produce Co-operative Federation. Besides State

Vanoshdhi Board has been established for developing medicinal plant sector in the

State.

The unorganized trade of non-nationalized NWFP/Medicinal plants has

led to low collection prices to the collectors and unsustainable harvesting of MFP

from forest areas. Moreover, most of the NWFP based processing and industrial

units are mainly located outside the State. However the NWFP sector has great

potential for ensuring sustainable livelihood in backward areas. With sustained

effort, Chhattisgarh can become market leader in producing quality goods of MFP

if processing is promoted.

State. Due to paucity of funds most of these Protected Areas (PAs) have

inadequate infrastructure for protection, management and development of wildlife

habitat. These areas have huge potential for development of wildlife. Hence

infrastructure development and Management planning for all the Protected Areas

will be a priority in the XI Five Year Plan.

The State has given priority to Biodiversity Conservation by allocating 13%

of its total forest area for meeting this objective. State's rich floral & faunal

biodiversity, dense forests, beautiful landscapes and rich biocultural heritage has

the potential to attract tourist to the State. Ecotourism can generate thousands of

jobs in forest areas. Development of Nature Tourism potential by exploring and

developing nature conservation & cultural heritage sites with local communities as

primary beneficiaries would be the focus during the 11th Five Year Plan.

Huge investments would be essential in order to mitigate ever rising

human- wildlife conflicts in the State, implementation of wildlife management

practices and development of crucial corridors between National Parks &

Sanctuaries through areas outside PAs. Protection, development of infrastructure

in wildlife habitats in P.A's and other forest areas, biodiversity conservation &

development of eco-tourism will require Rs. 212 crores during the 11th Five Year

Plan.

The major influences on these basic health status indicators are the social

determinants of health – levels of poverty and inequity, malnutrition, access to

safe drinking water and sanitation, access to gainful employment and levels of

education. After these social determinants the next important determinant is the

access to primary health care services backed by an adequate referral arrangement.

In the social determinants there have been positive developments in some areas

especially in the decadal increase in girls education, but in other areas like the

nutritional status the situation remain grim. As regards access to primary health

care services the state had to develop strategies to overcome the problems of

geography- remote scattered habitations in forested and hilly areas, the socio-

economic barriers, as well as cultural barriers – a diverse ethnic groups steeped in

traditional practices some of which are valuable, but some of which prevented

access to modern health care.

The state has done relatively better in the area of sex ratio and fertility

control largely because of a better gender equity situation and increasing women’s

education of these indicators IMR is most useful as reliable data is available

annually from the SRS surveys and it is possible to co-relate with health service

provision and access.

275

Infant Mortality Rate: The IMR was 79 in the year 2000 – at the formation of the state. It dropped

to 60 in the year 2007-08.

At the same time the all India total IMR had also declined from 70 to 62 – a

decline of 8 points as compared to Chhattisgarh’s decline of 10 points. The catch

up is all the more dramatic in rural IMR where Chhattisgarhs rural IMR declined

by 34 points over 5 years whereas all India rural IMR has fallen only by 5 points

in this period (from 74 to 69). Chhattisgarh this started its statehood far behind

national rural IMR – by 21 points and in three years has narrowed it to only 10

points.

This is an outcome of our two key strategies strengthening of routine

subcenters services and the 60,000 strong community health volunteer workforce

of the Mitanin programme and if we persist with this we hope to have caught up or

crossed the all India rural IMR figure. In contrast urban IMR, where sub-centers

are weak and there is no Mitanin programme has seen a rise of IMR from 49 in

2000 to 58 in 2001 ( which is an artifact as the year 2000 figure was culled out of

the unified sample with MP and could not have been accurate, and has since fallen

by only two points to reach 56 in 2003( with an unexplained dip to 51 in 2002).

We also note that the ratio of male to female IMR ( a sensitive gender

equity index ) puts CG at an achievement level of 1.09 which is the fifth highest

amongst all major states.

We hope to touch an IMR of 40 by the end of the plan period provided we

are able to able to persist in both these key areas- strengthening routine sub-center

services. and continuing at the same pace with the Mitanin programme.

On maternal mortality there are no figures available but in parallel to IMR

we hope there has been a decline as some components like the provision of

antenatal care would have increased in parallel. However since institutional care

especially for obstetric emergencies have been slow to develop.

B. Health Care Services in Chhattisgarh :-

According to 2001 census the total population of Chhattisgarh is 2.08 crore.

Given the relatively poor penetration of the private health sector and the economic

condition of the people one has to depend largely on public health system to

deliver the health care services.

276

The public health system to do this has developed the following public

health facilities:

Public Health Facilities

Sr No Items No.

1 District Hospitals 16

2 Community Health Centers 133

3 Primary Health Centers 707

4 Sub Health Centers 4692

5 Urban Family Welfare Center’s 16

6 Rural Family Welfare Center’s 10

7 Civil Hospital 13

8 Urban Civil Dispensary 21

9 Leprosy Hospital 2

10 Poly Clinic 1

Below is brief description of the key health facilities and their status as of date:

Sub Health Centers :- Sub centers are the most important peripheral govt.

service unit providing primary health care services to the rural population of the

state . According to the prescribed norms one sub center is established over

5000 rural populations in plains and on every 3000 population in tribal, backward

and difficult areas. Total no. of SHCs are 4692.Out of these 1558 SHC buildings

are running in govt. buildings,172 SHC buildings are under construction. So there

is urgent need to construct buildings for remaining 2962 SHC. Efforts are being

made to provide govt. buildings to all these institutions.

Primary Health Centers :- It is a very important govt. health institution in the

rural areas where community comes to direct contact with the Medical Officer for

getting the medical care services. The population norms for the establishment of

primary health centers is, one for every 30,000 rural population in plains and on

every 20000 rural population in tribal, backward and difficult areas. So far, the

required numbers of PHCs on the population norms basis have been established

out of which only 325 PHCs are functioning in govt. building, 140 buildings are

under construction. Thus there is still a shortage of 242 buildings. So there is

urgent need to provide buildings to these institutions.

Community Health Centers :- In order to develop an effective referral system

so as to provide specialist treatment facilities to the rural masses very close to their

dwellings, the establishment of community health centers at least in block level .

277

133 community health centers are functional in the state. 48 CHC buildings are

functioning in govt.buildings, 26 buildings are under construction and there is a

shortfall of 59 buildings. Efforts are being made to provide govt. buildings to these

institutions.

District Hospitals:-

There are 16 district hospitals sanctioned & functioning as per norms. Another

created two new Distt. at Bejapur & Narayanpur Will be Started as soon as.

Manpower required To fulfill the gaps in Facilities: The State is still lakhking 1725 Doctors, 2239 Paramedical staff and 1425

Technical staff according to prescribed norms. This is a matter of great concern

and it impedes the achievements of key goals.

C. NATIONAL RURAL HEALTH MISSION (NRHM):

This Mission is conceived as an umbrella programme subsuming the

existing programmes of health and family welfare. Its goals now define the whole

health sector’s goals.

The main goals enunciated are:

a. a commitment to provide effective health care to the rural population with

special focus on 18 states.

b. To ensure integration of health concerns with determinants of health like

sanitation and hygiene, nutrition etc

c. Decentralize the management of health.

The Ten components of NRHM it sets out are:

1. ASHA- Accredited Social Health Activist- which is the Mitanin

programme in Chhattisgarh.

2. Strengthening sub-centers

3. Strengthening Primary Health center

4. Strengthening CHCs for first referral care

5. Making for a district health plan

6. Converging sanitation and hygiene under the NRHM.

7. Strengthening disease control programmes

278

8. Public private partnerships for public health goals including regulation of

private sector.

9. New Health financing mechanisms.

10. Reorienting health/medical education to support rural health issues.

The NRHM would be including all the family welfare programme under

RCH-II as well as all the National Disease Control Programmes (Malaria, TB,

Blindness, HIV leprosy etc.). The existing Mitanin Programme is also included

in this Mission.

Proposed Annual Plan outlay for 2007-08 for NRHM is Rs 125.00 Lakh- inclusive

of RCH-II the NRHM special initiatives, accelerating immunisation and all the

disease control programmes.

Most of the NRHM funds would flow through the state and district health

mission and only a part of it, especially the salaries component which would

be part of the state plan.

Constructions of Buildings for Health Facilities( Capital Costs).

These seven schemes given below relate primarily to capital costs for construction

of health facilities. As may be seen from the table below. The gaps are huge and

therefore the present budgets only are a first step in the direction.

E. National Rural Health Mission: Reproductive and Child Health

Component:

The Reproductive and child health programme has been implemented in

the state since formation of the state. The present programme includes all the

components of maternal and child health services like child survival and safe

motherhood, safe MTP services, family planning services, RTI/STI and AIDS.

The aim of the programme is to see that evey pregnant woman receives care at

delivery, that every delivery is assisted by a skilled person and is preferably

institutional, that every child is immunized and well nourished and received

prompt care for ARIs, diarrhea and fever, that there is a referral service available

for every patient needing emergency obstetric care or emergency neonatal care.

The aim of the Reproductive and child health programme is also to include the

confidence in the couple so that they can maintain sexual relationship without fear

of pregnancy and contracting disease and they have the ability to plan and have a

child when so desired. The couple is also looked after and treated for RTI/STI and

AIDS .All Districts of the state are being covered under the programme.

For year 2007-08 following goals have been projected as under:-

(i) Birth Rate 22

(ii) Infant Mortality Rate 40

(iii) Total fertility Rate 2.6

(iv) Skilled Safe Delivery 75

(v) ANCs 85

The key to these services is through strengthening routine services in the

sub-center and PHC with good referral back up provided by the CHC and district

hospital.

Also to ensure access to these services and provide community level care

by better community participation mediated and increased community awareness

that would be ensured by the Care voluntary supportive workforce of the Mitanin

programme.

As regards the availability of contraception methods/materials, it has been

ensured that the target couple receive them from the plakhes nearest to their

residences. The programme is being run totally on voluntary basis. The target

couples are given full choice to select any method of their liking. Sterilization,

Laparoscope’s, Tubectomy are very popular in the state as Laparoscope’s have

been provided to almost all CHCs. We hope to achieve a couple protection rate of

65% which would lead to a total fertility rate well below the national average.

Rural drinking water supply is, to a large extent, dependent on

ground water (85%). Though ground water is less sucep to pollution, the quality

problem in ground water is inherent in the form of contamination caused by the

very nature geological formation, viz. excess fluoride, arsenic, brackishness, iron,

etc. The reasons for chemical and bacteriology, contamination are: poor hygienic

conditions around the water sources, improper disposal of sewage and industrial w

water, callous disposal of solid waste, indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers

having high quantity of Nitrates used in agricultural sector, pollution from

industrial effluents (untreated), over-exploitation leading to quality degradation,

pollute the source due to ignorance of the people, over-population and lakh of

public awareness. The ground water level has depleted resulting in surfacing of

quality problems due to higher concentration of the contaminants in the depleted

sources of Inadequate recharging also aggravates the problems of chemical

contamination emphasis is necessary.

For effective planning, monitoring and implementation of various being

given on tackling water quality schemes relation to arsenic, Iron fluoride, nitrate and

salinity. Presently 9586 iron 10 fluoride 18 arsenic, 171 salinity affected other 82 have

been identified.

It is proposed to cover these Quality Affected Habitations with safe

drinking water within upto 2008-2009 as per the goals of Bharat Nirman. An

As per provision of Chhatisgarh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh

Adhiniyam 1973 following are the main function of Directorate Town & Country

Planning.

1. Preparation of existing land use maps and development plans of

towns.

2. Preparation of regional plans.

3. To control use and development plans.

4. Review and revision of developments plan.

5. To guide monitoring of preparation of various scheme of local

bodies.

6. To provide any other information as require from time to time by

local bodies.

The prime objective of various scheme under development is to

implement the recommendation of National Commission of Urbanization and

NCHSE (National Commission for Human Settlements and Environment) for

urbanization of the State up to 2021 AD and ensure balanced urban and regional

growth and planned sustainable development of urban centres. The aimed

objective is to be achieved keeping in view the spirit of 73rd

and 74th

Constitutional Amendments, State Housing Policy and C.G. Nagar Tatha Gram

Nivesh Adhiniyam 1973.

The department has to take three kinds of works namely- planning,

plan implementation and enforcement. The directorate of Town & Country

Planning is the “Parent Organization” to guide and over view the regional and

urban development activities through the above legislation.

311

1) Preparation of Development Plan:

Urban planning is the prime function of the directorate. Even after the

74th

Constitutional Amendment the function of preparation of development plans

for urban canters has been retained by the directorate. However this function has

been included in the list of discretionary of urban local bodies by way of

amendment in State municipal laws. With a view to decentralize urban planning

more effectively, it is now taken up at 2 tiers by entrusting the function of zoning

plan to local bodies by making amendment in Town Planning Legislation. The

zoning plan is the basic plan tool as a follow up. In preparation of development

plan the emphasis would be given to the criteria identified by National

Commission on Urbanization for selection of cities, e.g. Town Generating

Economics Momentum (GEM) and State Priority Cities (SPC). State Housing

Policy (AVAS NEETI) adopted by State legislature lays emphasis on preparation

of development plans for all the cities which are above 10,000 population, review

and publish revised Development Plans for those towns where plan period has

ended.

Review and Modification of Development Plans: Review and modification of development plans are taken up either

periodically or on completion of plan period as a second cycle of planning

exercise under the provision of Town & Country Planning act 1973. These

activities are also included in Housing Policy. Every year some towns would fall

in the orbit of second cycle, hence this is a continuous process.

During the year 2006-07, 17 Towns were proposed for preparation

of development plan, in which 2 towns has completed the target and in remaining

towns physical work is going on. During 2007-08 12 towns were proposed out of

which 5 towns have been completed. For the year of 2008-09, preparation of

development plan for 30 towns are proposed depending on fund allocation.

Raipur dt. 17th

March 2007, and has become a statutory document providing guide

line for development in various sectors. The development, which was at a slow

pace, is bound to accelerate in the coming years.

The proposed outlay for the years 2008-09 is Rs 21649.49 lakh against the

approved outlay of Rs.8778.78 lakh for the year 2007-08. The reason for the

CHAPTER – XIX

LABOUR

The healthy force or workers play an important role in the economic and

industrial development of the State and the society. Besides other obligations, it is

responsibility of the State to ensure reasonable and safeguard the workers from

any form of exploitation. Besides, their working and living conditions should be

improved as this will further improve the socio-economic condition of the works.

The department’s activities consist of :-

• Maintain industrial peace and resolving industrial dispute by

conciliation.

• Implementation of Minimum Wages Act for the unorganized sector.

• Resolving cases relating to non-payment of wages, bonus, and

compensation against death or injury.

• Identification of child and bonded labour and their rehabilitation.

• Economic and educational rehabilitation of released child and

bonded labour.

• Effective implementation of legislature provisions and women

workers.

• Organizing workshops and seminar for quality improvement and

skill development.

Apart from above activities, other social benefits like medical facilities,

housing facilities, safety net and cultural activities etc. are also being taken.

The labour commissioner organization is contributing to the maintenance of

industrial peace and harmony, which ensures uninterrupted industrial production.

In order to ensure payment of minimum wages and to provide other welfare

benefits to rural workers, it is essential that the enforcement machinery is

decentralized up to the grass root, i.e. Tehsil and Block level.

I. State Schemes

1) Hygiene Lab (Scheme no. 5648):-

The proposed Hygiene Lab for the Directorate, Industrial Health &

Safety is an essential tool to establish the authenticity of the hygienic

conditions prevailing in the factories, which may be detrimental to the

health of the workers employed therein. But unless being examined by way

of collections of samples by the inspecting officers and subsequent analysis

317

in the lab by the analyst, it cannot be authenticated. And thus any action

taken without the sample analysis against the factory management can not

stand in the court of law and ultimately the same detrimental condition is

allowed to prevail in the working environment which results is ill health of

workers and cause occupational diseases to them. Thus the proposed lab

would be essential.

In the year 2007-08, Rs. 50.00 lakh provision have made, which

shall be used for purchase of equipments and technical staff /officers. Carry

forwarding of Rs. 38.17 lakh has been proposed in 2008-09, for

CHAPTER – XX

EMPLOYMENT AND CRAFTSMEN TRAINING

It has made long strides in several areas of development keeping in

view tremendous potential for manpower engagement in natural resources like

land, water, soil, forest, minerals and thermal power.

In recent times several giant industries both in public and private

sector have come up in will dominant district of the State. Hence the employment

opportunities for unemployed and educated youth are being provided so that the

youth could settle down harmoniously and peacefully in the State.

The Department of Employment and Training, in which

Employment Exchanges are included, has 16 District Employment and Self-

Employment Guidance Centres and one Coaching Cum Guidance Centre

functioning at Jagdalpur. Directorate of Employment and Training is located at

Raipur catering to the needs of unemployed youth for Registration, Renewal,

Notification of Vacancies, Submissions, and Vocational Guidance for potential

employment and training of self-employment to semi skilled youth.

The objectives of the department are as follows: -

1. Registration of unemployed youth.

2. Renewal of Registration.

3. Notification of Vacancies.

4. Submission.

5. Vocational Guidance for unemployed.

6. Collection, Compilation and Analysis of Labour Market

Information.

7. Providing latest employment Information to youth through

net.

8. Training and Skill development for self-employment.

9. Distribution of Unemployment allowance to educated youth.

Surprisingly none of these 17 administrative units of the department

located in various districts has its own building till date. Therefore the first need

for district employment and self-employment guidance centers and Coaching cum

guidance Centre is to provide own land and building, so that the Department

Could function smoothly and serve people of the State with greater efficiency.

The Government of India is stressing very hard to Computerize all

district employment and self-employment guidance centers within a shortest

possible time and to feed the data of live register, backlog and also to connect

320

these centers through net to meet the demands of people of the State as well as to

connect nationwide through nic-net, so that the job-seekers could get the

information in advance by visiting the Web-site of the Department.

I. Craftsmen Training Scheme

The Craftsmen Training Scheme was introduced to ensure a steady

flow of skilled workers in different trades for the domestic industry, to raise

quantitatively and qualitatively the industrial production by systematic training, to

reduce unemployment among the educated youth by providing them employable

training, to cultivate and nurture a technical and industrial attitude in the minds of

the younger generation. The scheme, the most important in the field of Vocational

Training has been shaping craftsmen to meet the existing as well as future

manpower need, through existing 80 ITIs in the State of Chhattisgarh.

The Main objects of the scheme are: (i) To ensure a steady flow of skilled workers in different trades for the

industry.

(ii) To raise the quality and quantity of industrial production by

systematic training of workers; and

(iii) to reduce unemployment among the educated youth by equipping

them for suitable industrial employment.

At the time of State formation only 44 ITIs were existrd, where as

the number of ITIs have gone up to 68 at this moment during 2005-06. During the

financial year 2006-07 the govt. opened 12 ITIs and financial year 2007-08 to be

open 7 new ITIs. In presents 08 women ITIs are running in the State in plakhe

Ambikapur, Raigarh, Raipur, Bhilai, Narayanpur, Kanker, Korba and Koni

(Bilaspur) but these institutions are non plan scheme no. 717 in budget

provision.There are 424 women trainees are doing training in these institutions.All

ITIs have 10078 seats for craftsman training. The State Govt. has also a proposal

to establish at least one ITI in each development block. ITIs pertinent to mention

here that the intention of the govt. is simply to open more & more ITIs in the

State. The Govt. is equally concerned about quality of training in these institutions

for which the department had already taken several steps in this direction and

many more are in pipeline to improve the quality of training, strengthening of

infrastructure, providing latest machines equipments and tools by replakhing the

old ones, training of teaching staff in academics as well as acquiring skills to

operate latest machines. Apart from above the department has also proposals to tie

up these institutions with industries with a view to provide exposure of industries

to the students so as to enable them to gain experience to handle the latest

sophisticated machines with precision. It is further pertinent to mention here that

the trainers of the ITIs will be sent to Nationally & Internationally reputed

institutes across the country to make them aware about latest trends and

321

technological innovations in the field of industries. Similarly the students of ITIs

shall also be provided an opportunity to visit these institutes by conducting tours

& visits.

Apparently it is not out of plakhe to mention that strengthening of

civil infrastructure by constructing administrative building and other civil

structures as per need viz. class rooms and all facilities in class room as well as in

the institute for convenience of students such as providing tiled floors, green board

in class rooms, conference halls, workshops with symmetrical arrangements of

machines and equipments, providing hostel facilities for boys and girls, latest

electronic gadgets and computers for effective training. In addition, the department

is also concerned about setting up of new ITIs in areas of Scheduled Tribe

dominant population for balanced development of the State and to remove the

regional imbalance in the State, so that the educated youth from these categories

could be provided with suitable employment. It is although more important

keeping in view of new large private industries coming up in these backward will

areas.
