CHAPTER – 1
(Introduction)

1. Importance and Rational of the study
The study is conducted to know the currunt status
of the JGSY (SGRY-II) scheme. It will also explore the
feasibility of this type of program in the rural area.
Through this evaluation study, I tried to know the
actual position in the villages of Bihar. The impact of
the employment generation in the rural area has
shown its effect in the reports but in the actual
people get benefit on what extent it should be
analyzed.
Poverty is the major hurdle in the development of
the nation. Today after fifty-eight years of the
Independence more than one third of the population
lives bellow poverty line (BPL). There were plans
outlays to fight the grim situation but still there are
not desired achievements in the field of rural
employment.

Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
The government has worked on the issue and now
the central government has made legislation namely
“Employment Guarantee Act -2005”. This Act will
ensure employment to the rural labour force for 100
days in a year at the prevalent rate of wage in the
state decided by the respective state government.

It is necessary to know the present situation and the
impact left by the JGSY presently known as
Sampoorn Gramin Swarojgar Yojna (Scheme-II). The
number of man days employment generate d by the
scheme per year and is the scheme is empowering
the rural people and catering the need of the people
or it is just being implemented for the shake of
expenditure of plan money.

2. Objective of the study
 To know the present situation I the villages about
the employment opportunity provided by the JGSY

9. Page 8 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
 To study the feasibility of the employment
schemes run by government especially the
Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY-II)
 To study the pattern of wage payment under the
scheme and to study the methodolo gy of
implementation of the program.
 To analysis the peoples participation in the
government run scheme.

3. Scope of the study
I have selected Kanti Block to study the situation. It
is a Community Development Block established in
1952. Kanti is 90 kms from the State capital. I have
conducted the study under Panchayat Mustfapur. I
have centered on the following things.
 Detailed information about CD Block and
Panchayat: I have studied all the concerning
information of the Block. The geographical,
social, economic and other information like
prone to disaster and concerning information.

10. Page 9 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
 Present Status of Poverty: Kanti is lagging
behind in the race of development. The person
living bellow poverty line is very high here. The
poverty is grim here in this block especially in
the flood affected panchayats of the block.
 People’s Participation in the government run
scheme: Through this study I tried to find out
the participation of the common people in this
type of employment generation scheme. And
how the government is delivering the program
to the needy people; also to identify the gaps
which come under the participation of the
people.
 Problems and Hindrance in the Program: I tried
to gather the information regarding the
problem hindering the success of the program.

4. Methodology
At the very outset I gathered the information of the
Kanti CD block and Mustafapur Panchayat under the

11. Page 10 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
Muzaffarpur Dist. While visiting the Kanti Block, I
met the Block Development officer MD Samim and
other staffs of the block office.

I developed a questioner for the response of the
people. Which I filled during the interview of the
people of Mustafapur Panchayat which I have
selected for the project study on Jawahar Gram
Samridhi Yojna (SGRY-II).

I used different software for the analysis of the Data
like “SPSS for Windows”, MS Word, MS Excel and MS
Access” to make the data simple and easy to
understand to the people who might use the data
and information in the findings and report.

Apart from the discussion with the stakeholders and
rural people especially the downtrodden and weaker
section of the society, I tried to put my rational view
in the project report.

5. Constrains
The biggest difficulty I faced is the flood because the
Panchayat is situated on the bank of the Bur hi
Gandak River. Which is flooded and three times
during July to September 2005. Apart from this,
unavailability of the officials and the staffs at
frontline also created a problem at a great extent.

The reason for this is more or less over burden
government staffs and the scarcity of the staffs also
like one Panchayat secretary is looking for the two
or three panchayat.

CHAPTER -2
(Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna)
1. Introduction
This scheme was launched in 1999 by the central
government it was aimed to provide 100 days of unskilled
manual labour to those who are in need of the
employment and seeking it.

It is to be ensured that the provision of employment
under this scheme leads to the creation of durable
productive assets in the rural area. The scheme envisages
regular inspection of works by the implementing
agencies and supervisory authority i.e. the collector,
District Rural development Agencies, Sub -divisional
officers, Block Development officers, etc.

The future strategy of the scheme has focus on
identification of the pockets of acute unemployment,
location of projects in a manner that it is available to
needy people within a reasonable distance, involvement
of Panchayat, ensuring that people registered in the

14. Page 13 of 52

Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
panchayat’s muster roll get employment, awareness
generation among the target groups rigorous monitoring
and evaluation of the program.
The Jawahar Gram Samridhi yojna (1999) is merged in the
new scheme i.e. Sampooran Grameen Rojgar Yojna
(SGRY) in 2001.
Sampooran Grameen Rojgar Yojna was launched on 25
th
September, 2001 with an annual outlay of 10 thousand
crores. The scheme is self targeting in nature and is open
to all rural poor. By merging, the hitherto on going
schemes of the Employment Assurance Scheme (EAS) the
only wage employment program for rural area and the
Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (JGSY) a rural infrastructure
development project.
The program is operation for more than three years and
thousands of crores of rupees along with millions of tons
of food grain during this period. The JGSY scheme is
presently known as SGRY (Scheme-II)
2. Rational
Unemployment, poverty, malnutrition are the main
problems of our countryside. These problems are
assuming dangerous proportions further due to ever -

15. Page 14 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
increasing population, mechanizing and contracting job
opportunities in the rural areas particularly in agriculture,
construction, small and medium enterprises sector. In the
scenario of declining growth rate of employment
increasing number of unemployed, 193.2 million poor
people (BPL) living in rural area, and being home of nearly
25 percent world’s hungry population despite
considerable food surpluses the SGRY assumes the
importance. Besides generating employment, the
program envisaged making a dent in the prevailing
poverty and slow growth in rural economy and to provide
food security and demand when driven infrastructure at
the village level to facilitate faster growth by increasing
the opportunities of employment through access to the
market oriented economy.

3. Objectives
 Primarily, the program aims at providing
additional and supplementary wage
employment to provide food security and
improve nutritional level in all rural areas.

16. Page 15 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
 Creation of durable community, social and
economic assets and infrastructural
development in rural areas is the secondarily
objective.
 The program is self-targeting in nature and is
open to all rural poor, needy wage
employment and desirous of doing the manual
and unskilled work.

CHAPTER -3
(Work and Implementation strategies)
1. Strategy
The scheme is implemented on cost sharing basis
between the center and the states in the ratio of 75:25 of
the cash component and 100 percent food grains are
provided by the central government to the states/UTs
free of cost.

The program is wholly implement by the Panchayati Raj
institution (PRIs) i.e. district Panchayats, intermediate
Panchayat and Gram Panchayat. Resources (funds and

17. Page 16 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
food grain) are made available to all the three tiers of PRIs
in the ratio of 20:30:50. It is ensured that out of 50
percent of funds, each gram panchayat gets minimum
Rest. 25000. Initially implemented in two streams i.e.
stream -I (ZP and PS) and stream –II (GP), from 01 April
2004 both the streams are merged into one. 5 percent of
the fund and food grains under the scheme are retained
by the Ministry of Rural Development (MORD) for
utilization in the area of acute distress, arising out of
natural calamities or for taking up preventive measures
in the chronically drought or flood affected areas.
“Special component “ comprising of only food grains
takes care of the states affected by the natural calamity
to meet exigencies.

While providing wage employment preference is given to
agricultural wage earners, non-agricultural unskilled
wage earners, marginal farmers, the persons affected by
natural calamities, women, members of the SCs/STs and
parents of child labour withdrawn from hazardous
occupations and handicapped parents who are desirous
of working manually.

2. Special Safeguards to Weaker Section
On the total annual allocation including food grains to the
district and Intermediate panchayat, 22.5 percent are
earmarked for the individual / group, SCs/STs
beneficiaries families living bellow the poverty line (BPL),
and 50 percent of the village panchayat earmarked
resources for the creation of the need based village
infrastructure in SC/ST habitations/ Wards and 30
percent of the employment opportunities are reserved for
women under the program.

The data regarding resources allocated, actually released
by the central and state governments, utilization against
the available funds during the years 2001-2002 to 2003-
2004 is given in the Table 1 of chapter-3 the analysis of
the data indicates that only 75.71 percent of the fund is
utilized during 2001-2002, 79.55 percent of the fund is utilized
during 2002-2003, 64.14 percent of the fund is utilized during
2003-2004 which shows that the balance amount is
surrendered to the central government. Moreover the data
relating to the actual creation of Man-days is not reliable
as the further field investigation shed some light that
what ever the work is done is mechanized and the muster
rolls are fudged and actual employment is negligible.

CHAPTER -5
(Introduction of Kanti Block)
Kanti is a community development block under
Muzaffarpur District and was established in 1952. The
then Prime Minister Sri Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru has come up
with the idea of mini secretariat which is called

should have their one representative in that office.
Kanti block is 10 kms from the district HQ. The area of
the block is 17602.7 hectare

CHAPTER -6
(Study of JGSY in Mustafapur Panchayat In Kanti Block)

1. Introduction of Mustafapur Panchayat
Mustafapur panchayat is 35 kms from the block HQ and
it is 12 kms from NH 77. In north it touches Meenapur
Block, south Ramnath Damauli Panchayat in east
Dadarkoluha Panchayat and in west Ramnath Damauli
panchayat. The area gets flooded every year. The
panchayat is on the bank of the Burhi Gandak river which
causes flood every year.

The population of the panchayat is 8674 as per the
census of 2001. There are three villages Mustfapur,
Salempur and Bagahi under the panchayat. There are two
weekly haats in the Panchayat Ramlila Bazar and
Durgaasthan. This is the main source of marketing in the
block.

2. Socio-economic condition of the Panchayat
The Mustafapur Panchayat is very backward and is
flooded the population of the area is in 30:70 ratio of SC

25. Page 24 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh

and others. The main source of income is agriculture,
which is depended on the nature.
The main crops are vegetables, paddy, sugarcane, etc.
most of the labour force migrates to other places in
search of job.
Mr. Shivjee Rai (Mukhiya) and Mr. Suchit Rai comes from
OBC category. The area is dominated by yadav caste. The
Panchayat has 13 wards and no SC person is ward
member on unreserved seat. The area was submerged
last year flood, this year flood hit the area three times in
a row and left the community hand to mouth. The
Panchayat is having only one Primary school in its area.
The children’s enrollment shows 306 but only 60 to 70
children came to the school. This shows poor condition
in the field of education. The panchayat is very far flung
and is border of the Kanti CD Block. It takes 2 hours to
reach the panchayat by two-wheeler.

3. Information JGSY (SGRY-II)

that the 30.2 percent of the respondents belongs to the
schedule caste. Here we got some Muslim persons also
we have put them in others figure i.e. 9.4 percent.

In a look we can see that the social structure of the
Panchayat is evenly divided in to SC, OBC and General
castes. But the OBC plays a lead role in the politics.

This situation makes the population vulnerable to the

Table-3 (8) shows that the people informed about the
scheme had participated in the selection of the scheme
in the gram sabha.

Participation of the respondents in the Gram sabha is
about 50: 50 but the situation is different. Most of the
respondents who were having their participation in the
gram sabha were from OBC category. Which shows the

CHAPTER – 9
(Major constrains of the scheme)

1. Operational Difficulties
Despite the claims of MORD and favorable opinion expressed by
beneficiaries about the scheme’s usefulness and quality and utilization of
the assets created under the programmed (concurrent evaluation
Report-2004 of SGRY), the programmed could not fulfill its avowed
objectives and financial and physical performance of the program
suffered due to operational difficulties, which is evident from the huge
unspent balance lying with the states in the form of food grain and cash.
(See Table 1 & 2 of Chapter – 4).

The program became the victim of apathy of state governments. The
state’s “delivery mechanism” failed miserably in the lifting and
distribution of food grains among workers. Huge unspent money was
lying at the end of the year with the DRDAs. The actual distribution of
food grain among poor can be judge from scams where the SGRY food
grain meant for distribution found in way to Bangladesh.

The state government made inadequate efforts for awareness generation
among the people in the villages. The concurrent evaluation report
indicates that average employment per beneficiary during the year 2002-
2003 was 28 so as in the case of Mutafapur Panchayat. Most of the
people got 0-40 days employment under the scheme. There is acute
shortage of staff at panchayat level here in Mustafapur the person
looking after the post of Panchayat secretary is a VLW. The capacity of
the available staffs is not appropriate.

49. Page 48 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
Illiteracy among the elected representatives and the community people
is also causing hindrance in the effectiveness of the program.
District level monitoring was found almost absent in the field. The
officials are involved in excessive paper work. The wage rate fixed by
the government is less than the prevalent rate of market. And hence
labour showed reluctant to the work under the programme

2. Conceptual Weakness
The programme was conceived without looking into ground realities. In
a country of India’s size with socio-economic-cultural-topography
diversities, the guidelines were made universally applicable through out
the country. Besides the program was based on hypothesis ideas like,
Conceptually, the distribution of food grains as part of wages based on
principle of protecting the real wage besides improving the nutritional
standards of the rural poor may sound attractive but actual practice, this
part of the program is grossly misutilised.

Conceptually, preparing and approval of annual action plan
independently by the GPs and ZPs before beginning of each year may
look ideal and sound. But in actual practice influential locals did the
selection of works. The provision of appointing one person from among
the beneficiaries group as animator / leader / facilitator to facilitate the
maintenance of muster rolls, payment of wage, monitoring of works may
sound innovative but in practice at very few places, it is in practice.

Despite ban most of the works are executed through dummy
contractors and there are blatant violation guidelines in use of machines
in executions of works. Constitution of one monitoring committee,
comprising of five to nine local members of diverse background, for
every work sanctioned, may look theoretically very sound but in practice,

50. Page 49 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
formation of such committees never took place. Even the officials are
not aware of provision of such committees. Details of completed work
is not publicized or placed before the Gram Sabha, to ensure
transparency and accountability and social control of the works.

Providing of 30 percent employment opportunities to women is
conceptually correct but not happening practically due to socio-cultural
barriers. Hence the coverage of women was also bellow the targets.

CHAPTER – 10
(Suggestions and Conclusion)

Based on my findings of the study following are the
suggestions and conclusions for betterment of the scheme.
So the scheme can benefit the rural people the suggestions
are based on the assumptions and f indings of the
analysis of the data of Mustafpur.

1. Suggestions

 To achieve the desired results, a massive awareness
generation campaign should be launched in rural
area.

51. Page 50 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
 The training and non training needs of DRDAs, PRIs,
and implementing agencies should be analyzed and
identified and they should be trained.
 A strict monitoring system should be developed to
ensure the proper measurement of work and
payment of weekly wage.
 While lifting food grains from FCI, the fair average
quality should be ensured.
 Storage facilities should be created at Panchayat
level. For proper storage of food grains.
 The wage should be higher than the prevalent rate
in the local market.
 The states should release their share of funds timely
and also ensure full and proper utilization.
 The food grains component of the programme
should be optional and according to the need people
in the area.
 The person at the helm of affairs should be held
accountable for low performance.
 At district level a strategy should be developed for
involvement of technically qualified local youths for
technical support to the Panchayats.

52. Page 51 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
 The guidelines should be modified in view of ground
realities.

2. Conclusion
A lot of water has gone down the Ganges since the
inception of the scheme. Changing the na me of the
scheme is like giving old wine in new bottle. The
programme has succeed to some extent in providing
succor to the rural poor, particularly SCs/STs. Large
number of community useful assets like road, community
hall, etc. but there is sufficient evidence to show that the
program is not doing well in the people.

The states are not serious in realizing the funds
authorized food grains are not lifted, if lifted not
distributed among the workers. Huge cash balance is
lying unutilized despite all the efforts, there is “silver
lining in the dark clouds” and that is the Panchayati Raj
institutions (PRIs). With a view to strengthen the PRIs the
UPA govt. has created a separate ministry of Panchayati
Raj at the central level. The PRIs need to be strengthened
through training programme and providing them with the

53. Page 52 of 52
Assessment of Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (SGRY -II) in Kanti Block (Muzaffarpur) by Abhishek Singh
Roll No. 2, Rural Management & Development, Patna University, Patna -800 005
functionaries and their control. Adequate staffs should be
given to panchayat for the scheme who can help the
panchayat in developing the annual plans. The scheme if
selected in Gram Sabha will have more transparency and
accountability.

The self help groups (SHGs) of the poor women at the
village level also a hope for the programme, if associated
in the implementation.
