Perspective Plan for
the Dangs District
In the context
of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, 2004,
the National Food for Work Programme aims at providing
100 days of guaranteed wage employment to at least one
adult member of each family in rural areas. In this
regard, 150 of the most backward districts of the country
were selected, which included six tribal districts of
Gujarat. To assess the employment need of the district
for five years (2005-10), each district was asked to
prepare a five-year perspective plan through an external
consultant/NGO. CEE was asked to prepare the perspective
plan for the Dangs, a tribal districts of Gujarat, which
comprises 311 villages and 70 Panchayats.
The three-tier methodology (villagers,
local government officials, and MP, MLA and Panchayat
members) used for developing the five-year perspective
plan for the Dangs aimed at integrating the perspectives
of multiple stakeholders through participatory methods.
Extensive literature study and consultative meetings
with various experts were conducted to form an overall
perspective of the history and current situation of
the district.
On the basis of the infrastructure
requirements, the total financial outlay for the district
has been estimared at Rs. 46,600 lakh in the five years
of the programme. The total labour days are calculated
based on a minimum wage of Rs. 87.90. In five years,
2,65,59,524 labour days will be generated from the development
of infrastructure. The proposed infrastructure generation
will generate 2,65,595.2 person days over five years.
