| Summary: | The Fourteenth Finance Commission
(FFC) award puts money straight into the
hands of the Gram Panchayats (GPs). In
that context, Ministry of Panchayat Raj
(MoPR) envisages that GPs need to
prepare plans through a participatory
process and has initiated writeshop to
evolve draft guidelines for Gram
Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP). All
but one have finalized their State
guidelines at this point of time, and 23
States have issued the concerned
Government Orders in connection with
the preparation of GPDP for the utilization
of FFC award. The Self Help Group
(SHG) collectives of women are
advantageously placed to become
important participants in the GPDP
formulation process. Their participation
can transform the quality of delivery of
programmes like Mahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee
Scheme (MGNREGS) or Swachh Bharat
Abhiyan. The convergence possibilities
of SHGs can be harnessed for the local
development. |
