AGRICULTURE

Agriculture LabourThe agriculture labour levels are constant at the India level which

means that households leaving agriculture are getting absorbed in the secondary and tertiary sectors

In Madhya Pradesh, the level of self employment in agriculture has declined from 46 percent in 2004-2005 to 41 percent in 2009-2010

This means that households leaving self employment in agriculture are not getting employment in other sectors and are forced to work as agriculture labour to sustain their livelihoods

The agriculture sector in Madhya Pradesh still employs more than two thirds of the rural population

The number of people who are landless and work as agricultural labour has increased from 29.5 percent to 34.5 percent. This is the poorest and most vulnerable community

Madhya Pradesh boasts of growth in Agriculture. What we will comment on that later, it has not reached lakhs of Madhya Pradesh’s farmers

Since 2004-2005 the proportion of rural people employed in agriculture has declined for both India and Madhya Pradesh. The reduction in Madhya Pradesh has been slower than the national level, 13.7 percent reduction as compared to 19.5 percent at the national level

In Madhya Pradesh farmers and labourers are unable to move out of agriculture since there are no opportunities outside of agriculture

EDUCATION

Literacy During the Congress government, literacy grew at a rate of 19.1 percent as compared to 6.9 percent during the BJP years

The Gender Gap in Literacy which measures the literacy gap between males and females is 20.51 percent in Madhya Pradesh as compared to 16.68 percent in India

Female literacy under the Congress Government grew at 20.9 percent while under BJP it has grown at a rate of 9.7 percent

Female literacy growth rate between 1991 and 2001 exceeded not only the male literacy growth rate but also the national average

This was due to the impact of the 'padhna-badhna andolan’ and the famed ‘Education Guarantee Scheme’ launched during the tenure of Shri Digvijay Singh under the Rajiv Gandhi Saksharta Mission

9Per Capita Expenditure on Education, Sports, Art and Culture (2013)

Source: Planning Commission

Inspite of a poor education condition the State Government spends amongst the lowest on education using money for advertisements.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Old age pension in MP is Rs. 275/month as compared to Rs. 500 in Rajasthan, and Rs. 1500 in Delhi

Disability pension in MP is Rs.200 compared to Rs.1000 in Rajasthan

Even though the state grew at a rate of 12% during 2012-2013 it continues to fare badly on all human development indicators

In fact if we take the average growth over five years, MP stands 17th amongst all States and not in the top few as the CM claims

The expenditure on health was 0.95% of the State GDP in 2012-2013. This has been slashed down to 0.89% of the state GDP in 2013-2014

The State had fourth highest percentage of poor households among 15 non-special category states in the year 2004-05, next only to Odisha, Bihar and Chhattisgarh

The State with a tribal population of 20.3% has cut down its Tribal Sub Plan from 2.11% of the GDP in 2012-2013 to 1.91% of the GDP in 2013-2014

The proportion of educated job seekers has increased from 77.8% in 2010 to 78.2% in 2011

The number of people registered in employment exchanges has increased from 20.02 lakhs in 2011 to 20.67 lakhs in 2012 (MP Economic Survey 2012-13). It is 3.25 percent higher than the previous year

The number of educated unemployed has increased from 14.05 lakhs in 2011 to 16.6 lakhs in 2012

In 2009-2010 8.47 lakh people were employed in the public sector, out of which 1.21 lakh were women. In 2010-2011, 8.5 lakh people are employed in the public sector, out of which 1.2 lakh are women. The percentage of women employed has decreased by 0.83 percent

HEALTH

Sex RatioWhile the overall sex ratio of the state has improved from 912 in 1991 to 930 in 2011 it still remains 10 points below the national level

In 2001 the child sex ratio was 932 which was 5 points higher than the national level

During the BJP years (2001-2011) the child sex ratio declined by 20 points as compared to 13 points at the national level

The state government launched the “Beti Bachao Abhiyan” in 2011 to counter the worsening sex ratio instead of taking steps to effectively implement the Pre-conception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act 1994

NutritionThree indices are used to measure the nutritional status of children:

Stunted which measures height of the child in relation to their age; Wasted which measures weight in relation to their height and underweight which means that the body weight is too low to be healthy

52% of the children are underweight which is the result of inadequate food intake

Two in five adult women and men are too thin

NutritionUnder-nutrition is higher among the younger population (15-19 years),

in rural areas, in low income households and among scheduled castes and scheduled tribes

The Chief Minister talks of agriculture growth, of being an Uncle to the children of his State and yet 52% are underweight and 49% are stunted

The number of severely underweight children in Madhya Pradesh has increased by 78447 in just one year (2010-2011)

Stunted (low height for age) Wasted (low weight for height)

Underweight (low weight for age)

age/1000 live births

While the required number of PHC’s has increased from 1670 in 2006 to 1977 in 2011, the BJP government under Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has only managed to add 7 PHC’s in 5 years

Under the Congress Government the no. of PHC’s in MP was 1194. This has reduced to 1156 under the BJP Government

Not only is the health very bad, the current CM has made it even worse by ensuring that sustained number of PHC’s are also not there

Whether it is to promote privatisation one does not know

Total number of PHC’s has gone down from 1194 under Congress to 1156 today while 1977 are needed

INFRASTRUCTURE

Power In Madhya Pradesh the State Government under the leadership of

Shivraj Singh Chouhan has managed to increase its installed capacity of power by just 1644 MW in 10 years

For that same period the Centre’s share in Madhya Pradesh’s power utilities has increased by 3187 MW

It is important to note that MP claims power improvement – this has been mainly due to UPA Government and not MP Government. Also all the new power projects of MP Government were started under the Congress Government

Losses have also increased, due to corruption and bad management

Roads and BridgesThe Madhya Pradesh road network constitutes only 1.77 percent of

the total road length of 33 lakhs km in India

The national average for road network is 143 km/100 sq km whereas in MP, it is only 64 km/100 sq kms. The road network of the state as compared to other states is very poor. This is not only an indicator of the backwardness of the state but also the cause of its backwardness

The average spending on roads and bridges during the Congress years was 2.55 percent of the total budget. This reduced to 1.65 percent during the BJP years

POVERTY

Multi Dimensional Poverty IndexOxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) has taken out a new index for poverty assessment accounting for all types of poor. Madhya Pradesh has 68 percent poor according to this estimate – where are the tall claims of CM about a state doing well – if agriculture was really growing the first impact would have been on poverty

The Multidimensional Poverty Index measures poverty using ten indicators: nutrition, child mortality, years of schooling, school attendance, cooking fuel, sanitation, water, electricity, floor and assets

Poverty Estimates MP and All India

Madhya PradeshSource: Planning Commission

Asset-less Households See graph below – Census in 2011 counts households with no assets – meaning the

poorest households in a State

Madhya Pradesh is the second worst in India with 33 percent households with no assets – meaning, one third of the population is amongst the poorest of the poor. A shame for a State

A person’s quality of life depends on the assets available to them among other things

The census since 2001 started collecting data on basic household amenities. The following amenities were considered under the census: radio/transistor, television, telephone, bicycle, scooter/motorcycle/moped and car/jeep/van

In 2001, 42.2 percent of the households had none of the specified amenities and Madhya Pradesh’s rank was 26. While the percentage of households with none of the specified amenities has decreased, Madhya Pradesh’s rank in 2011 is 34 which is the worst in the country after Meghalaya

WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION

Availability of WaterMadhya Pradesh has very good rainfall and many small rivers. Yet

State Government has had an abysmal record in providing tap water.

Only 9.9 percent rural households have tap water against 31 percent nationally

Tap water is available in only 23.4 percent of total households in Madhya Pradesh as opposed to 43.5 percent in the rest of the country

Availability of WaterOnly 24 percent households have water in own premises. Others

have to travel long distances just for water

Madhya Pradesh is the fourth worst in India in providing drinking water within the premises

Amongst the major states, Madhya Pradesh has one of the lowest availabilities of drinking water within the premises

In rural areas the percentage of households with drinking water within the premises is even lower at 13 percent

SanitationWhile Mr. Modi talks of toilets before temples, only 30 percent

people in Madhya Pradesh have access to a proper toilet. This puts MP amongst the worst 5 states

The rural percentage of households defecating in the open is even higher at 86.4 percent

Drainage60 percent of Madhya Pradesh has no Drainage facility. For a

state with a farmer Chief Minister people live in filth

Only 9.8 percent have closed drainage

60 percent of the households in Madhya Pradesh are not connected to a drainage facility as compared to 49 percent at the national level. It is the sixth highest in the country amongst the major states

Expenditure on Water Supply & Sanitation

The total expenditure on the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) in Madhya Pradesh till date has been only 39% of the total budget approved for the programme between 1999-2000 and 2010-11

During Congress period we spent double of the share of Budget for water and sanitation
