Pr. Secretary RD & PR

Organization of CIG’s, Capacity Building, Hand holding support of NGO’s – most of the Groups are functional.

70% to 80% Groups have opted for Agriculture & Allied Sectors (reflects that the primary nature of State’s economy) and a natural choice.

Many innovative activities like Swiss Cottages in Rajsamand, Bicycle leasing, MDM in Tonk, Forest enclosures in Baran, Kund based desert horticulture etc. have been successfully implemented.

Assets are in tact – loss of assets within permissible limits, 5 of non performing assets(with zero income) is negligible.

Average income generation is about Rs. 500/- – 600/- per month per member.

Contd..

Preparation,sanction and implementation of sub projects have taken an average time of 1 year to 1.5 years.

About 10% CIG’s have acquired additional assets through own/bank resources indicating a growth of business.

The poor are ready to pay for services )AH Services through Saheli cluster in Dausa by Pradhan), Insurance.

Groups demand for more credit – bank linkages – indicative of their hunger for development

Capacity Building – EMD,Skill Trainings delayed, lack of clear policy and time frame.

Sequencing of activities –not strictly followed – focus shifted to expenditure from 3rd year.

Insurance – disbursement of claims.

Convergence

Lack of focus & action for backward & forward linkages :
