| Summary: | Spates of programmes are launched by
various Ministries as part of the pro-
poor development planning, through
Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRIs). Of late,
the promotional strategy is convergence,
and it is the Gram Panchayat visualised
as an anchor. The ground truth being
that convergence both as a concept and
strategy is not easily comprehensible to
both cutting edge officials and Elected
Representatives. At this juncture, both
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employ-
ment Scheme and Backward Region
Grant Fund are visualised as fitting
programmes; the former for its volumi-
nous investment and the later for the
inbuilt mechanism to redress regional im-
balances in development. Apart from
these programmes, policy makerss have
acknowledged the growing left wing ex-
tremism and designed the Integrated
Action Plan for selected Tribal and
Backward Districts under the BRGF
programme, covering 78 districts. This
article attempts to articulate the need to
facilitate organisational channels and
reduce procedurally the shortcomings. |
