1. Ward Sabha & Gram Sabha strengthening initiative Modules & Processes MIS report of ongoing field testing Prerna Development Foundation

2. Background – 1/2 Gram Sabha, the only stable institution, has power to prepare their developmental plans, select beneficiaries and do social audits. Can Ward Sabha or Gram Sabha take their own initiatives and be self-functioning? Can Ward Sabha or Gram Sabha ensure quality in service delivery?… These are some of the thoughts as starting points for the initiative Ward Sabha & Gram Sabha strengthening presented here. Standard size of about 150-200 hh, makes Ward Sabha suitable to be foundation of village level democracy. Villagers elect one Ward level representative. Presenting here : Modules & Processes Built on experiences of testing modules underway in 2 Panchayats (Ghangh in Patna and Sanda Panchayat in Nalanda district (2012) & module development in 1 Panchayat (period 2009-11)

3. Background – 2/2 status of gram sabha & why this intervention is required Gram Sabha when happens it becomes maai-baap sabha where Mukhiya jee listen to complaints or demands of poor and he/she reples taking base of government benefits that is available to a particular target group of people. Complaints related to personal benefits of govt. schemes (like Vridha pension, BPL, Indira Awaas) mostly unnecessary, dominate discussion of the Gram Sabha. Gram Sabha is government scheme centric & other than government given agenda or govt. given benefits there is nothing available for discussion. Quality service (public or pvt.) delivery never part of Gram Sabha discussion. It is observed that rather than the Gram Sabha, the informal gathering at a game of cards, at a game of dice, tea stalls in the evening turns out to be a more useful forum for political and local issue discussion. Team felt that only small hand holding support is needed to make Gram Sabha meaningful and effective forum. Starting point is Ward Sabha being smaller and well defined boundary of ward.

4. Content Outcome MIS report of module testing activities Ward Sabha & Gram Sabha modules & processes Monitoring & follow up modules & processes Basic facilities for ward sabha Field intervention strategy Capacity building modules Large scale impact plans : thoughts Direct benefits to villagers : Field testing experiences

5. Expected Outcome Systematic Ward Sabha and Gram Sabha. Ward Sabha also takes their own initiatives. Ward Sabha sets standards for their ward Every resident contributes either in cash or kind or labor. Local direct control over quality of services, scheme targeting, micro planning and prioritisation. No targeted beneficiaries denied benefits of schemes Screening of complaints locally.

6. MIS report of Ward Sabha module testing Jan-Apr 2012 Module testing is done in 2 Panchayats in the last 5 months in Ghangh and Sanda Panchayats with total 26 wards. No. of ward sabha meetings varies from 2 to 4 per ward during this period. In one Panchayat there is stability in attendance in Ward Sabha and in other Panchayat attendance is reduced a little bit. Attendance is dependent on factors like response from services, local leadership, facilitator’s activity, agriculture engagement, local needs, etc.

7. MIS : Interventions to strengthen Ward Sabha (15 May 2012) Total Wards Notice board Chawk 10 packet For notice board Duster For notice board Newsp aper Small box 3 Regist ers School monitoring activity taken Notice board in use Mgnregs demand registration is made 26159926998314 Activities and interventions mentioned in table above are undertaken in last two months period during April-May 2012 period. These are basic requirements to function Ward Sabha in an meaningful manner. Currently monitoring tools in two sector ie Elementary school and Mgnregs demand registration is being introduced. With time we will introduce monitoring tools in other service area also. There are total 26 Ward Sabha in two intervention Gram Panchayats.

71. Our understanding of Gram Sabha

72. Our understanding of Gram Sabha part 1 or 2 Gram Sabha is not organized regularly. Participants expect Mukhiya to answer all the queries and expect the Mukhiya to ensure that all individual centric welfare scheme’s benefit reach to them. Gram Sabha when happens it becomes maai-baap sabha where Mukhiya jee listen to complaints or demands of poor and he reply taking base of government benefits that is available to a particular target group of people. Complaints related to personal benefits of govt. schemes (like Vridha pension, BPL, Indira Awaas) mostly unnecessary, dominate discussion of the Gram Sabha. Unconvincing answers lead to noise in Gram Sabha leading to unproductive Gram Sabha. Unstructured Gram Sabha leads to no collective decisions.

73. Gram Sabha is government scheme centric other than government given agenda or govt. given benefits there is nothing available for discussion. Contrary to the objective, the Gram Sabha turns out to be mere formalities for implementation of Govt. Schemes i.e. govt. centric instead of villagers centric which never inculcate empowerment of villagers. Quality service (public or pvt.) delivery never becomes part of Gram Sabha discussion. It is observed that rather than the Gram Sabha, the informal gathering at a game of cards, at a game of dice, tea stalls in the evening turns out to be a more useful forum for political and local issue discussion including implementation of the government schemes, non govt. initiatives, villagers own initiatives, local politics, and relationship with neighboring gram Panchayats, global issues etc. Our understanding of Gram Sabha part 2 or 2

77. Gram Sabha and Ward Sabha strengthening and current focus of our democratic country. Prime Minister stress four areas where government find direct role in development process. Two context is directly linked to Gram Sabha and Ward Sabha strengthening. (Extract from PM’s Address to 56 th NDC.) First, Government must provide a policy environment in which the creative spirit of our farmers and entrepreneurs is given full support and encouragement. Fourth, government must ensure that every citizen must have access to essential public services of acceptable quality in health, education, skill development, provision of safe drinking water and sanitation. Without such services effective inclusion is simply not possible. the end
