3.Methodology
The methodologies used by us for identifying the CRPs of both the blocks are as follows:
3.1 House Hold Survey
The household survey of the sixty households and of forty eight CRPS (community resource
person) lists which were given us to be filled by interviews were much helpful in identification
of problem. By the household survey we came to know about the benefits of the programmers,
we came to know about the mind sets of the people on various issues, we understood that the
needs of the people is viewed and we through the house hold survey we were able to understand
the condition of the CRPs to a certain extent.
3.2 Focus Group Discussion
We worked to gather some of the CRPS from every training of the CRPS for a Focus Group
Discussion on different problems which are identified by them. This discussion was made to
look at the problems of the CRP. The aim of the discussion was to understand the problem and
work on the problem which the CRP. We kept the views and the opinions of the CRPs primary
and thus this discussion was done keeping in mind that we aimed not to work for the people but
to work with the people. The villagers discussed with us some of the problems and also we
came to know that the CRP consider the lack of knowledge and awareness about the program.
Out of these fifty three CRP most of them were illiterate. The CRPs also said that short period
of training program is not more profitable for them. We made an attempt to get some solutions
from the CRP but they did not have any solutions to the problem which in involves the use of
existing resources. The CRPs did consider the problems identified by us as problems. We came
to know that they consider CRPs the lack of interest in the training as their main problem.
15
3.3 Personal Interviews
After the FGD we decided to meet some beneficiaries as well as CRP and personally interview
them on the problems identified and the problem that CRPs face.
The personal interview had the same result as that of the household. But with the personal
interviews with some of the CRPs they made it clear for us that the scarcity of money is the
main problem to implement training skills in their lives.
METHODOLOGY
At first we built our rapport with the villagers and then we did our household survey of 50
households to collect primary data. The whole set of primary data collected are on social
structure, demography, natural resources, economical and developmental issues, village
organizations and their contribution towards the development of the village, health related
issues etc. The data collected are of qualitative and quantitative types. Then by the active
participation of villagers we did participatory rural appraisal to collect data and identify
problems. After that we identify the problems which are there in the village. And by open group
discussion and focused group discussion we come to a solution to the problem with highest
priority and make a sustainable action plan.
3.4 SOURCE OF DATA
3.4.1 PRIMARY DATA
Primary data were collected through rigorous interaction with the villagers, panchayat members,
key informant. Household survey was one of the process by which we get maximum data and
16
along with that PRA tools, focused group discussion, meeting with the villagers provided us lots
of primary data.
3.4.2 SECONDARY DATA
We collected secondary data from Gram Panchayat,and local community member minshi ji.
3.4.3 SAMPLING METHOD
We took simple random sampling means we selected the houses randomly in the village to do
our household survey.
3.4.4 DATA ANALYSIS
We have used statistical methods and tools to analyze data. We used statistical maps, diagrams,
averages, percentages to analyze collected data.
 Household survey
 Training's

3.4.4.1 HOUSEHOLD SURVEY
The household survey of the sixty households out of fifty three CRPs list of KF which were
given us to be filled by interviews were much helpful in identification of the benefits of the KF.
Through the household survey we came to know about the benefits of the programmers, we
came to know about the mind sets of the people on various issues, we understood the needs of
the people to a great extent and we through the house hold survey we were able to understand
the condition of the beneficiary to a certain extent.
3.4.4.2 TRAINING
Training which held on 16th and 17th October at bochaha village of Minapur block and on
another meeting of pakridayal block which was held on 30th and 31st October. During the
training we came across many CRPs and interviewing with them we came to know that how
much they work and implement in their field which they have learnt in the training. Their life
also changed by implementing organic manure for their plants in their field. They could save
money and can use these money in some other purpose.

actors in the supply chain
 In development we analysis value chains so we can increase value for the poorest actors in
the supply chain
 You can increase value for the poorest actors in the chain through creating more value
and/or capturing more value

7.2. SOCIALSTRUCTURE
Most of them in the village are Hindus. and few are muslim . The village is divided into three
different castes .i.e. muslim, schedule caste and other backward classes
.
Household survey
The next task we did was the survey of 60 households of the village. We took 32 SC households,
2 muslim households and 26 OBC households. It gave us a brief idea of their source of income,
expenditure, sanitation, drinking water, irrigation facilities, their number of assets, savings and
credit, no of members etc. It took around 15 days to complete the survey.
From the household survey we came to know that many villagers are having land for irrigation
and many of the villagers are not having land. Most of the villagers are agri-labour and they go
and work on others field and earn Rs 36000/- per annum. Most of the days they also remain idle
due to not getting any work in the field. We also came to know that how they do irrigation and
what are the
Different tools they use while doing irrigation and are the different crops they cultivate (mostly
soybean and wheat). We also came to know about their sources of drinking water, most of the
villagers use govt. tank and govt. hand pump and they had to pay Rs 50/- to fetch water. Most of
the people do not get PDS because most of the people are APL. Most of the villagers are having
different kinds of assets and livestock.

From the household survey we concluded that general caste earns Rs 4215000/- . They mostly
earns from agriculture , SC earns 565800/- because they mostly do goat rearing then agriculture,
Muslim earns Rs 559000/- from agriculture, goat rearing, saloon etc and OBC earns Rs
1488000/- from agriculture.
7.18.2. Expenditure according to caste-wise
As SC spends Rs 77100/- per year, Others spends Rs 48450/- per year in their daily activities
and OBC spends Rs 122820/- per year.
7.19. Role of the Gram Sabha
For any problem villagers take the help of gram panchayat such as fighting between two parties,
health, cleanliness etc. The gram panchayat also help in the official work of the village and bank
activities also.
OBSERVATIONS
37
Sarpanch and the villagers make a meeting together in the grampanchayat. Sarpanch decide all
the plans and the activities to be done in the village by holding a meeting with the villagers in
the grampanchayat. Gram panchayat is functioning well in the village.

SOCIAL MAP
INTRODUCTION
The objective of this map is to help the poorstrengthen their capacity to accumulate resources that
can improve their lives, by building on their existing skills and resources. Therefore, when
starting a saving activity, knowing the capacity and constraints of the people and the environment
in which they live is crucial. This part of the book includes some exercises that the group
facilitator can do together with the people in the village to learn more about them, their village,
and their resources.
Successfulsaving groups require that members have a common interest to save together. For this,
you will need to know who’s who and who’s doing what in the village. This will help you
determine which groups of people are most likely to come together, but also to ensure that you do
not overlook those at the lowest income level who are often left out of this type of
activity.
38
Objectives
 To visualize who is living where.
 To learn about the households by ethnicity, religion, wealth, etc. and understand the reasons
behind certain characteristics (e.g. better-off, poor, poorest).
 To learn about the different social groups and/or organizations and how people view them.
Steps
Ask the participants to draw a map of the village, showing all households. For orientation it will
be helpful first to draw roads and significant landmarks of the village.
1. Discuss whether the total number of households has increased or shrunk during recent
years. If there were any changes ask why and whether this has caused any problem for
certain families or for the village.
2. Ask the participants to also show institutions and places that offer some kind of social
service or which are popular places to meet (e.g. schools, churches, health service,
traditional healers, local administration office, village leaders, shops, places where people
frequently meet to socialize, etc.).
3. Ask to show on the map which different ethnic or religious groups live in the area.
4. Ask the group to indicate where female-headed households are. Make sure that everybody
has the same understanding of what the characteristics of a female-headed household are.
5. When someone has given an answer, ask the others whether they agree, disagree or want to
add something. Encourage discussion throughout the exercise.
39
We took our 60 households and rest 3 other households which was in a particular area. Different
colours was given to different households. We also showed grampanchayat, cow shed, temples,
school, aaganwadi and SHG centre.
Different colours are
General- red
OBC- yellow
ST- pink
SC- light green
APL- black
BPL- brown
Blue, yellow, light green, red- temple
Blue border-female head
Green circle- land

Yellow ‘T’-govt. drinking water facility
Light green circle- irrigation facility
Blue circle- bike
Black circle- tractor
Red circle- electricity facility
Pencil digit- no of girls
Brown digit- no of boys
Black- pucca road
40
Black- kaccha road
From the social map we came to know about their social and financial status. There was no
female headed house.No electricity in village and many of the households are not having the
sources of drinking water. We came to know that there are 3 temples and are used by all the
villagers. There is gram- panchayat where all the meetings of the village are held and both the
sarpanch and the village take the decisions. There is also a govt. primary school where there are
60 students and 4 teachers. The school is divided into primary and semi- primary. There is a
SHG meeting office where all the SHG women gather and conduct their weekly meetings along
with the sarpanch.
FINDINGS
Kutcha house – 26
Puccahouse – 32
Semi- pucca– 2
Female headed house – 0
Shg meeting office – 1
Gram panchayat – 1
Cattle shed – 0

Resource map
INTRODUCTION
Resource mapping can be used as an effective ice breaking exercise as well as a tool to
investigate the knowledge of the people about their own locality, their resources and their
spatial distribution. Resourcemapping can help communities:
 Identify valuable resources
 Ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need
 Avoid duplication of services and resources
 Enhance services
 Identify flexible funding strategies
 Use data to make informed decisions
 Cultivate new partnerships and relationships

From the resource map we came to know that there are about 2 acres of forest land and 8 acres
of agricultural land. Wasteland is of 1 acres. There are good sources of water for irrigation
which are mostly used in every season. There are a kutcha and pucca roads in the village. But in
the rainy seasonvillagers face lot of problems in the kutcha road while walking.
OBSERVATIONS
 FOREST – 2 acres
 POND – 1
 WATER TANK – 0
 BORE WELL – 12
 HAND PUMP – 2
43
 Open well – 1
 Waste land – 1 acres
 Agricultural land – 8 acres
We get many important information about the resource and opportunities which are
available in the village after a good session of resource mapping. Our other findings are like
the following:
 Villagers are aware about the resources available in the village but they don’t know how to
utilize them.
 The village has a great platform to start the practice of integrated farming.
 The big area of Forrest is a great resource for the village.
Benefits from the activity are –
 Minor details were brought to the surface which were not covered in transect walk.
 Could be helpful for making villagers aware of some problems like
irrigation and drinking water.
Venn diagram
INTRODUCTION
Different roles played by institutions, organizations, groups and important individuals found in
a village, and their influence on the village (or target group) by using a Venn diagram. This is a
tool that is used to visualize the interactions among these different actors and allows villagers to
put a value to each institution in relation to its importance for the village. The diagram may also
show who participates in each institution in terms of gender, socio-economic class, ethnicity,
religion, etc.
Objectives
 To identify and characterize external and internal organizations, groups, important persons
that have a relationship, whether direct or indirect, with the village.
44
 To identify who participates in local organizations, institutions and groups, by gender, wealth
and other criteria.
 To understand how the different organizations, groups and people relate to one another in
terms of contact, cooperation, flow of information, provision of services, etc.
The Venn diagram shows us the important group, community, individuals found in the village,
as well as villagers view of their importance in the community.
Problem Identification:
After household survey we found that there were Sanitation problem in the village.
PROBLEM
Lack of awareness regarding sanitation and drinking water
CAUSE
No new recruitment according to demand
EFFECT
Parents are not interested to send their children in the school.
We did venn diagram of different institutions in the village and outside the village. We pasted
different round papers on the brown chart papers according to their importance given by the
villagers. We did this task with 10 villagers in the village.
We learn from the Venn diagram that some of the institutions are very far such as commercial
bank, local market and police station. These are situated in kachrod which is 6 km from the
village. People faces many problems to reach their. They go in cycle, bike or by bus. Bus is not
available every time in the village. Rest of the institutions are in the village and outside the
village but not too far. Some of the institutions are in the neighbouring village, so they go there
by cycle, walking or by bike. Sometimes the villagers get facilities and sometimes they do not
get facilities from the institutions.

7.20 Micro Level Plans
7.20.1. INTRODUCTION
Lack of people’s participation in the planning and implementation has been one of the reasons
for unsuccessful implementation of different development schemes. Since the inception of the
Five Year Plan, it has been emphasized that the plans should be prepared and implemented in
close collaboration with the people. It was assumed that without the active cooperation and
support of the local people, identification of genuine needs and available resources at the local
level would not be possible. This was termed as “planning at the grass roots level” or “micro
planning”. Planning at micro level means;
 The participation of the beneficiaries, the local people, in identifying needs
 Generating available resources in terms of
 Material inputs
 Co-operative action
 Creation of more resources through supportive efforts and
47
 Preparation of village plan, keeping in view the available resources.
It has been envisaged that the plan proposals have to be based on actual assessment of
educational need for each habitation. This need assessment can be based on information
collected through house to house survey, covering each child, his or her educational status and if
she/he is out of school then enumeration of the reasons for the same. Along with this survey of
educational facilities available within the habitation or in the nearest vicinity, also has to be
undertaken.
7.20.2. OBJECTIVES
 Main objectives behind preparing a micro plan of the village.
 Analyzing the main problems.
 Preparing a need based plan with people’s participation.
 Ensuring that it will help them for whole communities.
7.20.3. METHODOLOGY
We used different methodologies for preparing a micro plan of this village.
 Household survey.
 PRAexercise.
 Analysis of this data to assess the levels of coverage, unmet needs and its reasons, as well as
analysis to study their distribution in the community.
 Diagnosis of underlying causes of poor or good performance and reasons for unmet need
and identifying remedial interventions.
 Plans for interventions to reduce unmet need and to increase the quality of services.

MICRO PLANNING
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS A MICROPLAN?
The plan for the smallest unit of administration (Panchayat ) is called a micro plan. In
this method the Gram Sabha (Village Council) members of a village plan for their own
village. These village level plans may be called people’s plan. These people's plans are
put together to make a panchayat level plan and are called micro plan. Problems are
solved through solutions that they feel comfortable with. Each problem is solved at the
local level.
The micro plan is a process that builds the capacity of the villagers to analyze their own
situation and work on it to create a better future. The common goals need to be arrived
at by understanding what development means and what will the common priority for
everyone. The need for micro plan arose, as central planning alienated the local people
from village assets and resources. If village resources are owned by the village through
its representatives, and its development is planned with the people they can be
sustained and protected from harm
.
49
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of micro plan are like the following
 Building capacity of people to prepare their development plan for implementation.
 Increasing information base about the area and its people to utilize available resources
 Identification of root cause to solve problems.
 Increasing decision-taking capacity.
 Improving socio-economic and legal environment of the villageEnhance
negotiation abilities

7.21.1. VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS
 A value chain is an end to end supply chain and the distribution of value among various
actors in the supply chain
 In development we analysis value chains so we can increase value for the poorest actors in
the supply chain
 You can increase value for the poorest actors in the chain through creating more value
and/or capturing more value
 You can create more value through better productivity with same resources e.g., higher
quality, more quantity, less waste
 You can capture more value by building unique assets and/or increased bargaining power
7.21.1.1.Steps involved in the value chain analysis approach
Step 1: Mapping the value chain
Step 2: Understanding the constraints in the value chain

 To organize people into groups and form sustainable people's institutions which are able to
create awareness amongst the people (especially in boosting their self-esteems to resist
being swayed by mainstream values and practices), to take care of their interests and to fight
exploitation in all forms and to all extents.
 To educate and train the group members to utilize their skills properly and to improve their
economic conditions.
 To improve the standards of, and awareness about health and education amongst the people.
 To increase awareness amongst the people not only on how to efficiently and sustainably
manage their resources but also about alternative sources of income by demonstration as
well as by pilot activities. These activities would include on farm activities as well as off
farm activities.
 To help the group members to upgrade their skills and technology to make best use of
resources.
 To build the capacity amongst the people to sustainably manage their resources without
outside involvement.
7.22.NSS ACTIVITY
7.22.1. Introduction
Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi “Bapu” after studying the history of India and various
aspects of its underlying problem realized that if educated youth population in the process of
taking education extends their helping hand in societal welfare, it would jointly bind every
citizen of India together to realize each other’s problems and needs. Bapu was of the view that
students should not understand that the time they have in their hand, is for increasing their
intellectual abilities but it is also a time for shaping the destiny for future too.
Since then after independence various plans kept started moving around to aim at arousing the
feelings of affection, love, integrity, sacrifice, social welfare, self-dependence, cooperation,
patriotism etc. among students and during their education life they could get a better training to
become an able citizen of future. In 1950, first education commission recommended voluntary
service of nation by students. Meeting of the then Education Minister, Sardar Ballav Bhai Patel
in 1956; directions placed by first prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru; recommendations of the
committee headed by Dr. C.D. Deshmukh in 1959; Comprehensive study of national service by
students of few countries in the world conducted by Prof. K. G. Saiuddin in 1960,
recommendations of the education committee (1965-66) president Dr. D.S. Kothari; meetings of
53
education ministers and vice-chancellors in 1967 and meeting of various representatives of
universities, higher educational institutes and ministry of education in 1969, all laid foundation
for National Service Scheme. On September 24, 1969, NSS was formed with only 40,000 NSS
volunteers in 37 Universities of India. University Grants Commission (UGC) recommended to
introduce it in the courses run by Universities.
National Service Scheme is a largest voluntary organization in the world with more than 1 lakh
students in India. The basic purpose of the formation of NSS was to inculcate the societal
feelings among the learned aspirants for society and environment. Further NSS volunteers
spread their wings in community development, cleaning and various social services. At present
about 28 lakh students (volunteers) of 198 Universities, 9117 Post Graduate colleges, 7542
schools affiliated to higher secondary board and 1196 technical institutes have been enrolled in
NSS. 33 Universities have included NSS as a coursein their curriculum.
7.22.2. Aims and Objectives of NSS
The motto of the National Service Scheme (N.S.S.) is "Not Me, But You"; NSS fully aims at
self-development of volunteers through social service. Feelings of affection, love, integrity,
sacrifice, social welfare, self-dependence, cooperation, patriotism are the yardsticks and
hallmarks to be reckoned with.
In general following are the aims and objectives of National Service Scheme.
 To spread the mass awareness among public on various subjects like education, social
Integration, cleanliness, health awareness etc.
 To take active part in various activities aims at national integration and universal
brotherhood.
 To help universities, institutes and governments on various programs aimed at society.
 To extend helping hand in maintain the cleanliness and upkeep of every destination.
 Ensuring equity within and between generations.
To assimilate and incorporate environmental values in the education.
54
7.22.3. OUR NSS ACTIVITIES
 PLANTATION
OBJECTIVES:
The few objectives that I have set during my NSS activity were as follows:
 To instil leadership qualities and make the students aware of their responsibility towards the
environment.
 To make the students &peoples aware of the impacts of global warming and importance of
tree plantation activity.
55
EXPECTED BENEFITS TO THE SOCIETY
We like trees around us because they make life more pleasant. Most of us respond to the
presence of trees beyond simply observing their beauty. We feel serene, peaceful, restful, and
tranquil in a grove of trees. Trees alter the environment in which we live by moderating climate,
improving air quality, conserving water, and harboring wildlife. Climate control is obtained by
moderating the effects of sun, wind, and rain. Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed or
deflected by leaves on deciduous trees in the summer and is only filtered by branches of
deciduous trees in winter. We are cooler when we stand in the shade of trees and are not
exposed to direct sunlight. In winter, we value the sun’s radiant energy. Therefore, we should
plant only small or deciduous trees as much as.
On the whole NSS activity was very learning for us. We had a very good experience at the
village school. It was a unique experience for us to spend so much time with the teachers and
the students. It will always remain attached in our heart for much time to come.We planted trees
like Jackfruit and mango with the middle school children in the Rampur jaipal village. We
56
planted 2 trees in front of the school.We also did a hand washing program with the middle
school children. We made them aware about staying healthy and keep their hands clean and
wash their hands after bathroom and before taking food.
 Waterand sanitationawareness
OBLECTIVES
 To make the students aware about cleanliness.
 To wash their hands after bathroom and before taking meal, so that there will be no diseases
and they will remain healthy.
 To aware about different germs that can cause many health diseases.
57
EXPECTED BENEFITS TO THE SOCIETY
Hand washing with soap is the most effective and inexpensive way to prevent diarrheal and
acute respiratory infections, which take the lives of millions of children in developing
countries every year. Together, they are responsible for the majority of all child deaths. Yet,
despite its lifesaving potential, hand washing with soap is seldom practiced and difficult to
promote.
Turning hand washing with soap before taking meal and after using the toilet into an
ingrained habit could save more lives than any single vaccine or medical intervention,
58
cutting deaths from diarrhoea by almost half and deaths from acute respiratory infections by
one-quarter. A vast change in hand washing behaviour is critical to meeting the Millennium
Development Goal of reducing deaths among children under the age of five by two-thirds by
2015.
Global Handwashing Day focuses on children because not only do they suffer
disproportionately from diarrheal and respiratory diseases and deaths, but research shows
that children – the segment of society so often the most energetic, enthusiastic, and open to
new ideas – can also be powerful agents for changing behaviours like hand washing with
soap in their village.
7.23. Community Mobilization
is the process of engaging communities to identify community priorities, resources, needs and
solutions in such a way as to promote representative participation, good governance,
accountability and peaceful change
.
Objectives
 An integrated model for providing end to end solution to the farmer.
 Institutions building for farmers
 Middleman reduction
 Awarness about integrated farming
59
Methodology
 Organizing meetings/ seminar for farmers explaining their experience
 weekly village level meeting
 awareness drive given to farmers
 specially focus on female farmer to improve their livelihood and adopt modern techniques
 Formation of groups at village level
 Among group of farmers we select director,secretary and treasurer
7.24. Community Mobilization Process
 Formation of group at village level
60
 Awareness drive among farmer
 Organizing meetings/ seminar for farmers explaining their experience
 Among group of farmers we select director,secretary and treasurer
 Group registation with AATMA foundation
 Training CRP for integrated farming
 Formation of FPO at block level
8. LESSONS LEARNT
 We have learnt their culture, traditionand language and being a part of
village we came to know about how they adapt themselves in different
situations .
 We used PRA tools to discover various problem that households face in day to day life.
 We gained practical experience what we learnt in our class.
 We got to know the different problems faced by the villagers.
 We learned to form SHG.
61
9. CONCLUSION
The village study enabled us in studying the various aspects of the village life. We
came to know various things knowing which perhaps were not possible without
staying in the village among the rural population. Our stay helped us to understand
the lives of the villagers, their hardship and various dynamics relating to it. The
First-hand experience of various development plans running in the village and
impact of it helped us to sharpen our understanding of this plan a ground realities
associated with them. It’s easy to stay outside the village and suggests various means
for the development of village but the real picture is quite different in the village.
The village do have its bright colour which is absent in urban areas, even in many
developed cities of the country. The facts like positive sex ratio, female position in
the house, etc. are among some of the positive aspects of the village. Still there is
62
sufficient scope of improvements in the village related to the providing of livelihood
opportunity to the villagers.

  • 14. 14 3.Methodology The methodologies used by us for identifying the CRPs of both the blocks are as follows: 3.1 House Hold Survey The household survey of the sixty households and of forty eight CRPS (community resource person) lists which were given us to be filled by interviews were much helpful in identification of problem. By the household survey we came to know about the benefits of the programmers, we came to know about the mind sets of the people on various issues, we understood that the needs of the people is viewed and we through the house hold survey we were able to understand the condition of the CRPs to a certain extent. 3.2 Focus Group Discussion We worked to gather some of the CRPS from every training of the CRPS for a Focus Group Discussion on different problems which are identified by them. This discussion was made to look at the problems of the CRP. The aim of the discussion was to understand the problem and work on the problem which the CRP. We kept the views and the opinions of the CRPs primary and thus this discussion was done keeping in mind that we aimed not to work for the people but to work with the people. The villagers discussed with us some of the problems and also we came to know that the CRP consider the lack of knowledge and awareness about the program. Out of these fifty three CRP most of them were illiterate. The CRPs also said that short period of training program is not more profitable for them. We made an attempt to get some solutions from the CRP but they did not have any solutions to the problem which in involves the use of existing resources. The CRPs did consider the problems identified by us as problems. We came to know that they consider CRPs the lack of interest in the training as their main problem.
  • 15. 15 3.3 Personal Interviews After the FGD we decided to meet some beneficiaries as well as CRP and personally interview them on the problems identified and the problem that CRPs face. The personal interview had the same result as that of the household. But with the personal interviews with some of the CRPs they made it clear for us that the scarcity of money is the main problem to implement training skills in their lives. METHODOLOGY At first we built our rapport with the villagers and then we did our household survey of 50 households to collect primary data. The whole set of primary data collected are on social structure, demography, natural resources, economical and developmental issues, village organizations and their contribution towards the development of the village, health related issues etc. The data collected are of qualitative and quantitative types. Then by the active participation of villagers we did participatory rural appraisal to collect data and identify problems. After that we identify the problems which are there in the village. And by open group discussion and focused group discussion we come to a solution to the problem with highest priority and make a sustainable action plan. 3.4 SOURCE OF DATA 3.4.1 PRIMARY DATA Primary data were collected through rigorous interaction with the villagers, panchayat members, key informant. Household survey was one of the process by which we get maximum data and
  • 16. 16 along with that PRA tools, focused group discussion, meeting with the villagers provided us lots of primary data. 3.4.2 SECONDARY DATA We collected secondary data from Gram Panchayat,and local community member minshi ji. 3.4.3 SAMPLING METHOD We took simple random sampling means we selected the houses randomly in the village to do our household survey. 3.4.4 DATA ANALYSIS We have used statistical methods and tools to analyze data. We used statistical maps, diagrams, averages, percentages to analyze collected data.  Household survey  Training's
  • 17. 17 3.4.4.1 HOUSEHOLD SURVEY The household survey of the sixty households out of fifty three CRPs list of KF which were given us to be filled by interviews were much helpful in identification of the benefits of the KF. Through the household survey we came to know about the benefits of the programmers, we came to know about the mind sets of the people on various issues, we understood the needs of the people to a great extent and we through the house hold survey we were able to understand the condition of the beneficiary to a certain extent. 3.4.4.2 TRAINING Training which held on 16th and 17th October at bochaha village of Minapur block and on another meeting of pakridayal block which was held on 30th and 31st October. During the training we came across many CRPs and interviewing with them we came to know that how much they work and implement in their field which they have learnt in the training. Their life also changed by implementing organic manure for their plants in their field. They could save money and can use these money in some other purpose. 4. LITERATURE REVIEW

QUICK PICTURE OF THE VILLAGE Introduction of Bochaha village Village- Rampur Jaipal Post-Bochaha Block-Bochaha Police station- Bochaha
  • 21. 21 Block- Bochaha 7. FINDINGS 7.1. Population of village 267
  • 22. 22 7.2. SOCIALSTRUCTURE Most of them in the village are Hindus. and few are muslim . The village is divided into three different castes .i.e. muslim, schedule caste and other backward classes . Household survey The next task we did was the survey of 60 households of the village. We took 32 SC households, 2 muslim households and 26 OBC households. It gave us a brief idea of their source of income, expenditure, sanitation, drinking water, irrigation facilities, their number of assets, savings and credit, no of members etc. It took around 15 days to complete the survey. From the household survey we came to know that many villagers are having land for irrigation and many of the villagers are not having land. Most of the villagers are agri-labour and they go and work on others field and earn Rs 36000/- per annum. Most of the days they also remain idle due to not getting any work in the field. We also came to know that how they do irrigation and what are the Different tools they use while doing irrigation and are the different crops they cultivate (mostly soybean and wheat). We also came to know about their sources of drinking water, most of the villagers use govt. tank and govt. hand pump and they had to pay Rs 50/- to fetch water. Most of the people do not get PDS because most of the people are APL. Most of the villagers are having different kinds of assets and livestock. Total households- 63 OBC- 26 SC- 32 Muslim - 2
  • 23. 23 7.3. Land Holding Pattern From the household survey we concluded that large farmer’s upto 5 acres are 6% in the village, medium farmers upto 3 – 5 acres are 16% in the village, semi- medium farmers upto1 .5 – 3 acres are 18% small- farmers upto .5 – 1.5 acres are 14% marginal farmers upto .5 acres are 16% and landless are 30%. So we can see that landless are more in the village and large farmers are only 6% in the village. 7.3.1. Income according to caste-wise From the household survey we concluded that general caste earns Rs 4215000/- . They mostly earns from agriculture , SC earns 565800/- because they mostly do goat rearing then agriculture, Muslim earns Rs 559000/- from agriculture, goat rearing, saloon etc and OBC earns Rs 1488000/- from agriculture.

There is a small pond in the village which is of no use because the pond belongs to a person who is not agreed to give water to the villagers for irrigation.There is a forest of 3 acres. The villagers are not allowed to cut wood from the forests as it is strictly restricted from the sarpanch to cut trees. Land is used for agriculture and construction of houses in the village.

Annexure SOCIAL MAP INTRODUCTION The objective of this map is to help the poorstrengthen their capacity to accumulate resources that can improve their lives, by building on their existing skills and resources. Therefore, when starting a saving activity, knowing the capacity and constraints of the people and the environment in which they live is crucial. This part of the book includes some exercises that the group facilitator can do together with the people in the village to learn more about them, their village, and their resources. Successfulsaving groups require that members have a common interest to save together. For this, you will need to know who’s who and who’s doing what in the village. This will help you determine which groups of people are most likely to come together, but also to ensure that you do not overlook those at the lowest income level who are often left out of this type of activity.
  • 38. 38 Objectives  To visualize who is living where.  To learn about the households by ethnicity, religion, wealth, etc. and understand the reasons behind certain characteristics (e.g. better-off, poor, poorest).  To learn about the different social groups and/or organizations and how people view them. Steps Ask the participants to draw a map of the village, showing all households. For orientation it will be helpful first to draw roads and significant landmarks of the village. 1. Discuss whether the total number of households has increased or shrunk during recent years. If there were any changes ask why and whether this has caused any problem for certain families or for the village. 2. Ask the participants to also show institutions and places that offer some kind of social service or which are popular places to meet (e.g. schools, churches, health service, traditional healers, local administration office, village leaders, shops, places where people frequently meet to socialize, etc.). 3. Ask to show on the map which different ethnic or religious groups live in the area. 4. Ask the group to indicate where female-headed households are. Make sure that everybody has the same understanding of what the characteristics of a female-headed household are. 5. When someone has given an answer, ask the others whether they agree, disagree or want to add something. Encourage discussion throughout the exercise.

But in the rainy seasonvillagers face lot of problems in the kutcha road while walking. OBSERVATIONS  FOREST – 2 acres  POND – 1  WATER TANK – 0  BORE WELL – 12  HAND PUMP – 2
  • 43. 43  Open well – 1  Waste land – 1 acres  Agricultural land – 8 acres We get many important information about the resource and opportunities which are available in the village after a good session of resource mapping. Our other findings are like the following:  Villagers are aware about the resources available in the village but they don’t know how to utilize them.  The village has a great platform to start the practice of integrated farming.  The big area of Forrest is a great resource for the village. Benefits from the activity are –  Minor details were brought to the surface which were not covered in transect walk.  Could be helpful for making villagers aware of some problems like irrigation and drinking water. Venn diagram INTRODUCTION Different roles played by institutions, organizations, groups and important individuals found in a village, and their influence on the village (or target group) by using a Venn diagram. This is a tool that is used to visualize the interactions among these different actors and allows villagers to put a value to each institution in relation to its importance for the village. The diagram may also show who participates in each institution in terms of gender, socio-economic class, ethnicity, religion, etc. Objectives  To identify and characterize external and internal organizations, groups, important persons that have a relationship, whether direct or indirect, with the village.
  • 44. 44  To identify who participates in local organizations, institutions and groups, by gender, wealth and other criteria.  To understand how the different organizations, groups and people relate to one another in terms of contact, cooperation, flow of information, provision of services, etc. The Venn diagram shows us the important group, community, individuals found in the village, as well as villagers view of their importance in the community. Problem Identification: After household survey we found that there were Sanitation problem in the village. PROBLEM Lack of awareness regarding sanitation and drinking water CAUSE No new recruitment according to demand EFFECT Parents are not interested to send their children in the school. We did venn diagram of different institutions in the village and outside the village. We pasted different round papers on the brown chart papers according to their importance given by the villagers. We did this task with 10 villagers in the village. We learn from the Venn diagram that some of the institutions are very far such as commercial bank, local market and police station. These are situated in kachrod which is 6 km from the village. People faces many problems to reach their. They go in cycle, bike or by bus. Bus is not available every time in the village. Rest of the institutions are in the village and outside the village but not too far. Some of the institutions are in the neighbouring village, so they go there by cycle, walking or by bike. Sometimes the villagers get facilities and sometimes they do not get facilities from the institutions.

INTRODUCTION Lack of people’s participation in the planning and implementation has been one of the reasons for unsuccessful implementation of different development schemes. Since the inception of the Five Year Plan, it has been emphasized that the plans should be prepared and implemented in close collaboration with the people. It was assumed that without the active cooperation and support of the local people, identification of genuine needs and available resources at the local level would not be possible. This was termed as “planning at the grass roots level” or “micro planning”. Planning at micro level means;  The participation of the beneficiaries, the local people, in identifying needs  Generating available resources in terms of  Material inputs  Co-operative action  Creation of more resources through supportive efforts and
  • 47. 47  Preparation of village plan, keeping in view the available resources. It has been envisaged that the plan proposals have to be based on actual assessment of educational need for each habitation. This need assessment can be based on information collected through house to house survey, covering each child, his or her educational status and if she/he is out of school then enumeration of the reasons for the same. Along with this survey of educational facilities available within the habitation or in the nearest vicinity, also has to be undertaken. 7.20.2. OBJECTIVES  Main objectives behind preparing a micro plan of the village.  Analyzing the main problems.  Preparing a need based plan with people’s participation.  Ensuring that it will help them for whole communities. 7.20.3. METHODOLOGY We used different methodologies for preparing a micro plan of this village.  Household survey.  PRAexercise.  Analysis of this data to assess the levels of coverage, unmet needs and its reasons, as well as analysis to study their distribution in the community.  Diagnosis of underlying causes of poor or good performance and reasons for unmet need and identifying remedial interventions.  Plans for interventions to reduce unmet need and to increase the quality of services.
  • 48. 48 MICRO PLANNING INTRODUCTION WHAT IS A MICROPLAN? The plan for the smallest unit of administration (Panchayat ) is called a micro plan. In this method the Gram Sabha (Village Council) members of a village plan for their own village. These village level plans may be called people’s plan. These people's plans are put together to make a panchayat level plan and are called micro plan. Problems are solved through solutions that they feel comfortable with. Each problem is solved at the local level. The micro plan is a process that builds the capacity of the villagers to analyze their own situation and work on it to create a better future. The common goals need to be arrived at by understanding what development means and what will the common priority for everyone. The need for micro plan arose, as central planning alienated the local people from village assets and resources. If village resources are owned by the village through its representatives, and its development is planned with the people they can be sustained and protected from harm .
  • 49. 49 OBJECTIVE The objectives of micro plan are like the following  Building capacity of people to prepare their development plan for implementation.  Increasing information base about the area and its people to utilize available resources  Identification of root cause to solve problems.  Increasing decision-taking capacity.  Improving socio-economic and legal environment of the villageEnhance negotiation abilities

These activities would include on farm activities as well as off farm activities.  To help the group members to upgrade their skills and technology to make best use of resources.  To build the capacity amongst the people to sustainably manage their resources without outside involvement. 7.22.NSS ACTIVITY 7.22.1. Introduction Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi “Bapu” after studying the history of India and various aspects of its underlying problem realized that if educated youth population in the process of taking education extends their helping hand in societal welfare, it would jointly bind every citizen of India together to realize each other’s problems and needs. Bapu was of the view that students should not understand that the time they have in their hand, is for increasing their intellectual abilities but it is also a time for shaping the destiny for future too. Since then after independence various plans kept started moving around to aim at arousing the feelings of affection, love, integrity, sacrifice, social welfare, self-dependence, cooperation, patriotism etc. among students and during their education life they could get a better training to become an able citizen of future. In 1950, first education commission recommended voluntary service of nation by students. Meeting of the then Education Minister, Sardar Ballav Bhai Patel in 1956; directions placed by first prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru; recommendations of the committee headed by Dr. C.D. Deshmukh in 1959; Comprehensive study of national service by students of few countries in the world conducted by Prof. K. G. Saiuddin in 1960, recommendations of the education committee (1965-66) president Dr. D.S. Kothari; meetings of
  • 53. 53 education ministers and vice-chancellors in 1967 and meeting of various representatives of universities, higher educational institutes and ministry of education in 1969, all laid foundation for National Service Scheme. On September 24, 1969, NSS was formed with only 40,000 NSS volunteers in 37 Universities of India. University Grants Commission (UGC) recommended to introduce it in the courses run by Universities. National Service Scheme is a largest voluntary organization in the world with more than 1 lakh students in India. The basic purpose of the formation of NSS was to inculcate the societal feelings among the learned aspirants for society and environment. Further NSS volunteers spread their wings in community development, cleaning and various social services. At present about 28 lakh students (volunteers) of 198 Universities, 9117 Post Graduate colleges, 7542 schools affiliated to higher secondary board and 1196 technical institutes have been enrolled in NSS. 33 Universities have included NSS as a coursein their curriculum. 7.22.2. Aims and Objectives of NSS The motto of the National Service Scheme (N.S.S.) is "Not Me, But You"; NSS fully aims at self-development of volunteers through social service. Feelings of affection, love, integrity, sacrifice, social welfare, self-dependence, cooperation, patriotism are the yardsticks and hallmarks to be reckoned with. In general following are the aims and objectives of National Service Scheme.  To spread the mass awareness among public on various subjects like education, social Integration, cleanliness, health awareness etc.  To take active part in various activities aims at national integration and universal brotherhood.  To help universities, institutes and governments on various programs aimed at society.  To extend helping hand in maintain the cleanliness and upkeep of every destination.  Ensuring equity within and between generations. To assimilate and incorporate environmental values in the education.

  • 55. 55 EXPECTED BENEFITS TO THE SOCIETY We like trees around us because they make life more pleasant. Most of us respond to the presence of trees beyond simply observing their beauty. We feel serene, peaceful, restful, and tranquil in a grove of trees. Trees alter the environment in which we live by moderating climate, improving air quality, conserving water, and harboring wildlife. Climate control is obtained by moderating the effects of sun, wind, and rain. Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed or deflected by leaves on deciduous trees in the summer and is only filtered by branches of deciduous trees in winter. We are cooler when we stand in the shade of trees and are not exposed to direct sunlight. In winter, we value the sun’s radiant energy. Therefore, we should plant only small or deciduous trees as much as. On the whole NSS activity was very learning for us. We had a very good experience at the village school. It was a unique experience for us to spend so much time with the teachers and the students. It will always remain attached in our heart for much time to come.We planted trees like Jackfruit and mango with the middle school children in the Rampur jaipal village. We
  • 56. 56 planted 2 trees in front of the school.We also did a hand washing program with the middle school children. We made them aware about staying healthy and keep their hands clean and wash their hands after bathroom and before taking food.  Waterand sanitationawareness OBLECTIVES  To make the students aware about cleanliness.  To wash their hands after bathroom and before taking meal, so that there will be no diseases and they will remain healthy.  To aware about different germs that can cause many health diseases.
  • 57. 57 EXPECTED BENEFITS TO THE SOCIETY Hand washing with soap is the most effective and inexpensive way to prevent diarrheal and acute respiratory infections, which take the lives of millions of children in developing countries every year. Together, they are responsible for the majority of all child deaths. Yet, despite its lifesaving potential, hand washing with soap is seldom practiced and difficult to promote. Turning hand washing with soap before taking meal and after using the toilet into an ingrained habit could save more lives than any single vaccine or medical intervention,
  • 58. 58 cutting deaths from diarrhoea by almost half and deaths from acute respiratory infections by one-quarter. A vast change in hand washing behaviour is critical to meeting the Millennium Development Goal of reducing deaths among children under the age of five by two-thirds by 2015. Global Handwashing Day focuses on children because not only do they suffer disproportionately from diarrheal and respiratory diseases and deaths, but research shows that children – the segment of society so often the most energetic, enthusiastic, and open to new ideas – can also be powerful agents for changing behaviours like hand washing with soap in their village. 7.23.

  • 61. 61 9. CONCLUSION The village study enabled us in studying the various aspects of the village life. We came to know various things knowing which perhaps were not possible without staying in the village among the rural population. Our stay helped us to understand the lives of the villagers, their hardship and various dynamics relating to it. The First-hand experience of various development plans running in the village and impact of it helped us to sharpen our understanding of this plan a ground realities associated with them. It’s easy to stay outside the village and suggests various means for the development of village but the real picture is quite different in the village. The village do have its bright colour which is absent in urban areas, even in many developed cities of the country. The facts like positive sex ratio, female position in the house, etc. are among some of the positive aspects of the village. Still there is
