INTER-DEPARTMENTAL CO-ORDINATION FOR DISTRICT PLANNING (CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES)

Banchhanidhi Pani, IAS

Collector, Sabarkantha

CHALLENGES Multiplicity of agencies

Duplication of works (Small roads, drainage and

storm water works are done by Panchayats, District

Level Bodies etc..The example of Bore Repairing in

Khedbrahma? Solution: Standardization by

GWSSB)

Prioritization of works (For eg. Roads for farmlands

first or road for school, anganwadi first?)

Swachhata Abhiyan: Co-ordination between Health

Surveillance Data and Sanitation Teams

SSA Works: Co-ordination between WASMO and

SSA

CHALLENGES Municipality and Panchayat Works: Co-ordination

with the State Agencies (For eg. GUDC and

GUDM)

Professional Agencies and Line Departments (eg.

GUDC & GUDM and GWSSB, Irrigation works in

Khedbrahma and Idar)

HDI Issues: Malnutrition Eradication (Co-ordination

between Health and ICDS in particular and other

agencies like Supply Deptt, MDM, DRDA in

general)

CHALLENGES

Co-ordination between different Line Departments(The

case of Drainage and Roads)

Selection of Land by Local Bodies and carrying out works

by Line Departments: The incongruencies

CHALLENGES

Check Dams Construction through IWMP,

Irrigation,

Accessible Buildings: Training is a must for

engineers

Toilets for Ladies in old Police Stations?

SOLUTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES

Proper Database of all Works

Data Centres in the District Level

Analytics on the basis of Data

Information Flow through a Centralised Cell in the District Level(District Programme Monitoring Units must gather feedback, monitor outcomes), TalukaLevel and Cluster Level

GIS Based Mapping and Inspection

Anchoring Role for District Level Officers( eg. Tourism Project at Polo, Vijaynagar)

Convergence of Schemes, Convergence of Departments

SOLUTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES

Planning must be outcome focussed rather than

output focussed so that schemes and departments

complement each other.

Planning must have participation and involvement

of Deprived Social Groups.

Planning must involve proper management of

Human Resources and balanced distribution of

work force.

SOLUTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES

Capacity Building and Training of Staffs( eg.

Anganwadi Workers for MUAC measurement)

Training on MDGs, HDI Indicators etc.

Garib Kalyan Melas for Delivery of Services

ATVT: Cluster Approach

Jan Sewa Kendras: Single Window Facility

SEHU: Development Flower creation through Data

Generation and Ground Truthing

SOLUTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES

Identify the areas which needs attention

(District Level Goals with SWOT analysis of

Talukas).

Team Building (Chintan Shibirs in Dist. & Talukas).

Development through Planning is a continuous

work.

THE DEVELOPMENT FLOWER

• In Sabarkantha, out of 684 villages,

survey complete in 195 villages and in

progress in 151 villages

• 29 per cent villages and 32 per cent

household survey is completed.

PRESENT STATUS

• Intensive Analytics thru dimensional modelling

- Allows detailed ‘what if ’ and other forms of analysis helping early identification of trends and acute problem areas

• Data available online for in-depth analysis @ village, taluka, district, state and national level

• Comparison and rating amongst villages, talukas, districts & states

• Link with ATVT

GAP/TREND ANALYSIS

• This will give us the sectors and areas to focus on the development projects resulting in improving the standard of life of people and balanced development.

• Cluster Officers will be provided with the Flower Pattern and they will suggest the works for ATVT.

LINK WITH ATVT

• Involve one dedicated student volunteer

• Use ‘Bharat Nirman’ volunteers

• Bring in ‘Outside’ volunteers who are willing to spend at least 3 months full time in village

• Primary Objective of volunteers is to act as motivators, facilitators and coordinators

VILLAGE VOLUNTEER FORCE

• Identify intended/plausible beneficiaries

• Classify them based on their ‘educational’ requirements

• Design loosely structured programs for each such group

Several local language speaking volunteers are willing to provide some time on a weekly basis from remote. They shall contribute towards this capacity building and to some extent environment building activity

VILLAGE LEVEL ENGAGEMENT

• Familiarity with the village eco system, village dynamics

• Identification of modes of communications

• Provide continuous motivation

• ‘Soil Preparation’ – prepare better and more receptive citizens

• Engage public by explaining implications –monkey in the water tank

ENVIRONMENT BUILDING

@ VILLAGE LEVEL

• Snap shot of every village

• Development Flower

• Spatial/ Temporal Comparison

• HDR for Taluka

• Project experience for every student

DELIVERABLES: TANGIBLE
