1.0 Introduction
There is an urgent need to understand the development requirements of the
people in rural and backward areas and initiate the developmental process
through credit and other interventions. Majority of villages in the country still
face constraints such as access to education, health facilities, drinking water,
power, roads, credit, information and market. Against this background,
NABARD has conceptualized a program for holistic and integrated development
of selected villages in the country in an integrated manner with disguised
employment, unemployment and financial services as the focus and dovetailing
socio-economic, infrastructure and human aspects of development. With the
expertise and resources available with NABARD and its rapport with the various
departments of State Governments and Non Governmental agencies, it is
adequately equipped to implement this program as a pilot project named as
Village Development Program' (VDP).
NABARD has demonstrated several models of development with focus on
specific purposes/groups of people. The major initiative of NABARD in this
direction include : schemes for the development of various sectors of agriculture
and rural development, SHGs, KCC, District Rural Industrialization and Cluster
Development Programs, Watershed Development, TDF, RIDF, RTTF, RIF,
institutional development of RRBs and Cooperative etc. This new initiative with
focus on a specific area, i.e. a village, and adopting an integrated approach for
the implementation of various schemes of Govt. Depts., PRIs, banks, NABARD,
etc. is expected to have more visible and practical impact and provide tools to
achieve sustainable, innovative and self progressive development in rural
areas. Any developmental intervention needs ownership and involvement of the
people for successful implementation of any project.
Objective of VDP
Objective of the VDP is to develop three villages Sidh Chaler Panchayat in an
integrated manner. This would include economic development, infrastructure
development and socio economic development i.e., education, health, drinking
water supply, training and capacity building programmes aimed at skill
5
development and employment generation, etc. This would naturally require the
involvement and participation of Gram Panchayat, State Government agencies,
banks, NGOs, other development agencies. The people participation and
ownership is the prerequisite for this scheme.
Major objectives of the program are as follows:
i) Integrated development of Sidh Chaler Panchayat villages to show case it as a model for sustainable development.
ii) To increase livelihood options through promotion of micro, small and medium enterprises, agriculture and allied activities, traditional and artisanal activities, water-shed development etc.
iii) To develop infrastructural facilities like roads, rain water harvesting structures, irrigation, with the support of RIDF and support from other govt. Agencies.
iv) To promote natural resource management through interventions in forestry, agriculture, allied activities, organic farming, watershed etc.
v) To develop integrated waste management system through promotion of biogas, vermin-compost etc.
vi) To enhance standards of education through awareness campaign and people participation and develop better education facilities.
vii) To promote watershed development programmes for conservation of soil and water.
viii) To promote micro finance by encouraging people to form SHGs or Artisan groups to provide micro finance services including micro insurance through linkage with local banks and LIC.
ix) To promote Farmers Clubs/ Joint Liability Groups.
x) To promote and support artisanal/Dairy clusters.
xi) To promote, cultural tourism and eco tourism.
xii) Capacity building of SHGs/NGOs/banks/farmers' club with NABARD
support.
xiii) To coordinate with state government and HPKVV as well as KVK to
provide extension services to farmers to take up more remunerative
crops (cash crops, vegetables, horticulture/Dairy/vermi
hatcheries/organic farming etc.
6
xiv) To increase flow of credit from banking sector so that incidents of
informal lending is reduced.
Ankur Welfare Association-The PIA
The development agency in such a scenario, and is an enabling rather than
a delivery agency. It neither directs, nor delivers, mainly facilitates. It may
demonstrate new ideas, promote new approaches, mobilize the community,
experiment jointly with the community, demystify concepts and technologies,
mediate to bring about collaboration within and outside the community, and
impart skills and foster conditions for reflection and learning.
It is working for the last 15 year, Ankur Welfare Association Gagret is
registered under the Societies Act-1860, vide registration no 15/94 at Una
(HP). It is mainly working in the field of Rural Development, Soil and
conservation, women empowerment and community health improvement in
specific through collaboration with Government and private agencies.
The main objective is to contribute to poverty alleviation programs through
communities’ participation. The key strategy is in this collaborative approach
is to mobilize community participation; building leadership and entrepreneurial
skills. Since the gravity of poverty alleviation tasks are enormous and
government was found not to be in a position to address it very effectively,
Ankur Welfare Association GAGRET with its limited resources preferred to
deal with it in following manners. : Directly working with community
.Collaboration with the Government. Collaboration with resource (like KVK)
and HEALTH institutions. Support to other local organizations.

CHAPTER 2
PROFILE OF SIDH CHALER PANCHAYAT
Sidh Chaler Panchayat has three villages of which Sidh Chaler is the biggest
village. The other villages Mohal and Kharyali are small hamlet/ villages. The
Panchayat falls in Amb Block located about 50 km from District headquarters.
The village(s) has a large representation of minority Gujjar community who are
involved in livestock rearing and farming.
After identifying the village based on socio-economic indicators, for
integrated development of the village under Village Development Plan (The
village committee having representation from all section of society comprising of
11members, 7 males & 4 females) were selected by the villagers during the
village meet for implementation of the VDP.
The NGO along with the village committee members conducted a
detailed baseline survey of each family using the PRA technique and collected
general information in a pre-designed format regarding the socio-
economic condition of each family viz., population features, crops raised,
social and economic aspects as also to find out the existing situation,
problems/constraints faced by the villagers, Infrastructural facilities and gaps,
banking facilities. Health conditions/problems faced by them and their
aspirations. The base line survey was conducted with active involvement of all
villagers.

Climate
- The climate is hot temperate and dry
- Monsoon period is from July to September
- The normal rainfall is 76 - mm.
- The maximum temperature during summer reaches upto 45oC and
during winter the temperature falls below -2 C.
As about 24% of the population comprise families below poverty line.
Unemployment is a major problem and there is a sizeable population of
educated young, both male and female in the village, majority of them is
interested only in government jobs. The village has a considerable population of
Scheduled Caste/Backward Caste families majority of them are poor.
Infrastructure facilities like roads, electricity, and drinking water are not well
developed.
Drinking Water, Health and Sanitation:
It has been noticed that ground water is not available at desired depth.
Therefore, water harvesting and water shed development programmes are to
be taken up on a war footing basis.
The village has no PHC or Ayurvedic Dispensary although there is one
Ayurvedic Dispensary in the nearby village under government sector which is
sufficient for taking care of only minor health problems. However, for treating
major ailments, the people have to reach 50 km head quarters for treatment.
Although sanitary latrines have been constructed and provided to
households under Total Sanitation program, there are families in the
village still without sanitary latrines. Waste management is a major problem
being faced by the village and dumping of garbage etc. are creating ecological
problems. There is an urgent need to promote house hold biogas plants and
make facility for handing of waste for the village.
13
Agriculture and Allied Activities
In general, agriculture (agriculture labour) and allied activities are the two main
occupations of the people. The area under agriculture crops is enclosed.
Education
There is one Primary School schools in the villages. Moreover there are
3Anganwadi in the village. out of which one Anganwadi is in the Govt. Building
and remaining three are in Mahila Mandal or Sarai buildings.
However, tendency of dropping out among school children of SC/BC
families is of concern. Vocational training to be given more priority.
Power
The power connection has reached to all areas of the village.
Infrastructure
The villages are connected to main road by link lane but these entire lane are
kuccha and it is difficult to pass through during the night and rainy seasons.
However, the roads need to be maintained properly. The village has good
communication Network.
Banking
As there is no bank in the village. Majority of the population depend on
credit for their lively hood activities from informal resources or they have to
approach to block Head Quarter. As general awareness about the institutional
credit facilities are lacking among the people. Analysis of the trend in credit flow
indicates that priority sector contributes about 95 % of the total credit flow. Of
the total priority sector credit flow, about 5% is contributed by agriculture and
allied activities, 0% is contributed by SME sector.
Poverty Alleviation
As already stated elsewhere, 23% of the population comprises BPL families
which shows the magnitude of the problem. Proper planning, skill
development, leadership qualities etc. are required. Almost all women are
14
unemployed. Entrepreneurship qualities are lacking among the educated youth.
There is a need to create awareness among the youth and due to the nearness
to district Head Quarter there is an immense scope in the field related to women
i.e. Tailoring, Embroidery, Patch work, Wood Craft, Handloom, Beauty
Parlour, Dairy Farming, Mushroom Cultivation, Organic Farming etc.
The living condition of majority of SC/BC population and their status in respect
of education, health conditions, employment, hygiene, Sanitation etc. are far
from satisfactory when compared to other communities. As the living conditions
are bad, there is a tendency among people, especially men, to get addicted to
liquor, pan etc. leading to tensions in families and also in the society.

Identification of needs of the villages as obtained from the PRA exercise
Sectors Constraints/needs of villagers identified
Electrification 100% families of village are electrified. There is a problem of low voltage in the distant village.
Health and Sanitation Sanitation is the major problem as over 30% families are without septic tanks, among 5 wards 2 are worst hits.
Link road & Transportation
Link road are the urgent needs of the people. The link road needs repair and carpeting. These roads are not all season road and emergency solar lights are needed at strategic points.
Drinking Water Drinking water is available for all the population, but availability is not certain. The villagers use natural resources and these sources are needed to be well maintained and clarification is needed as and when required.
Agriculture and Allied Activities
There is scope for promotion of vegetable cultivation, medicinal plants, goat rearing, rabbit rearing, cattle rearing, vermin-compost, biogas Tailoring, Embroidery, Patch work, Wood Craft, Handloom, Beauty Parlour, Dairy Farming, Mushroom Cultivation, Organic Farming etc. However, support from various agencies is not forthcoming including bank finance. There is also lack of awareness among people and lacks of entrepreneurship among people are also a concern.
Irrigation Agriculture is not developed to the desired level mainly due to lack of irrigation facilities. There is need to provide irrigation facilities to farmers in the area to facilitate agricultural development.
Non-Farm Activities There is lot of scope promotion of bee keeping, forest base industry, and animal husbandry..
Banking Major problems identified are lack of awareness among the people about institutional finance. Majority of people are still depending on local money lenders.
Ponds and other natural resources.
- Great need for one common pond for drinking water for animal. As animal pond and disposal water pond are one and the same and that’s why animals get ill by drinking the polluted water.
28
It is desirable to have a bench marking strategy to measure the impact of the program over a period of three years. The expected position at the end of each year for the three years is as follows:
