Lucknow, 2. Gorakhpur). In the above districts 2 Gram Panchayats of each district were surveyed. From the selected Gram Panchayat, the sample was as under: (1) Gram Panchayat with more than 10000 population 300 households were surveyed; (2) Gram Panchayat with 5000-10000 population 150 households were surveyed; (3) Gram Panchayat with 2000-5000 population 100 households were surveyed; (4) Gram Panchayat with less than 2000 population 50 households were surveyed. The selection of Gram Panchayats was done in consultation with the District authorities. And in order to get the data of waste generated and its type at the weekly markets, survey of one weekly market was done at each District. The waste generated in gram panchayats was categorized under 4 major heads (Bio-degradable waste, Recyclable waste, Hazardous waste, Inert waste). In the study we found that most of the waste in gram panchayats are Bio- degradable in nature (58.01%) and Inert waste (22.50%) is at second place and recyclable waste (16.52%) is at number 3 and every type waste can be managed but there is no proper management of solid waste at gram panchayat level.

Lot of rural development programmes were carried out by panchayat raj institutions in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir from time to time in order to develop the rural area. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir assures people’s participation in developmental activities and in the local governance institutions with adequate gender, class and caste representation as per the need of the amendment package. But, the level of people’s participation in developmental activities at grassroots level seems to be very low. Moreover, gram panchayats are not adequately accountable to gram Sabha. The idea of participation, as an important part of panchayat raj, has rarely been observed in practice. Against this backdrop, the study is designed to investigate the panchayat representatives in order to understand their role towards implementation of various rural development programmes. An attempt has also been made to fully understand the role of Gram Sabha in panchayati raj system and rural development. A structured interview schedule was administrated for this purpose. Besides, informal discussions and field observations also proved to be helpful in providing inputs to strengthen the arguments in analysis.

Abstract: The first step in the efficient and effective management of solid waste in gramme panchayats in Uttar Pradesh is to identify the type and quantity of garbage. To do this, we choose two cities from the central area and the west region (1. Jhansi, 2. Saharanpur). Two Gram Panchayats from each of the aforementioned districts were surveyed. The sample came from the chosen Gram Panchayat and was as follows: Gram Panchayats with populations greater than 10,000 were surveyed in 300 households, those with populations between 5,000 and 10,000 were surveyed in 150 households, those with populations between 2000 and 5000 were surveyed in 100 households, and those with populations under 10,000 were surveyed in 50 households. The District authorities were consulted for the selection of Gram Panchayats. Additionally, a survey of one weekly market was conducted in each District in order to collect information on the amount and type of waste produced during the weekly markets. Four major heads were used to categorise the garbage produced in gramme panchayats (Bio-degradable waste, Recyclable waste, Hazardous waste, Inert waste). In the study, we discovered that biodegradable trash makes up the majority of waste in gramme panchayats (57%), followed by inert waste (22%) and recyclable waste (17%). While all waste types can be managed, there is insufficient solid waste management at the gramme panchayat level. Additionally, we make some recommendations for efficient gramme panchayat-level waste management in Uttar Pradesh.

The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act 1992 has made two important provisions for the involvement of women in decision making and preparation of plan for development. Let us elaborate it. This amendment has made a provision that at least one -third of women would be members and chairpersons of the Panchyats at three levels means at Gram Panchayat level, Panchayat Samiti level and Zilla Panchayat level. These women also include from scheduled caste and scheduled tribe communities. Secondly, Panchayats are also expected to prepare plans for economic development including the 29 subjects listed in the Eleventh Scheduled of the constitution. The rural plan prepared by Zilla Parishads would be forwarded to District Planning Committee for preparing a consolidated plan for the rural and urban areas of the district. Now, this was the mandate given by the constitution for development of entire rural areas including women. Women would only be empowered if various developmental works which are undertaken are benefiting women.

PRIs were established with a hope to strengthen the rural India. But during Covid-19, it was experienced that they were not even able to support for livelihood to the rural people. Even in the midst of pandemic, though there was life threat situation, people migrated to cities in search of their livelihood. In this backdrop, this paper highlights the available livelihood supportive infrastructure, livelihood generating base and livelihood supporting mechanisms and schemes and unutilized natural resources in the Gram Panchayats. Particularly, this paper focuses on the strength of Gram Panchayat’s self fund, schemes and activities excluding central and state government funding and schemes. The work is produced by the data from both primary and secondary sources. And to make it more scientific, both quantitative and qualitative methods are applied. For this work, Bhograi block of the district of Balasore in Odisha has been taken as area of study. From the study, it is experienced that there is available resources lying unutilised but due to lack of interest, attitude, commitment of the local representatives and officials of Gram Panchayat resources can’t be utilized to harness benefits for people creating jobs and engagements. Finally, some remedial measures like behavioural and attitudinal autonomy of the officials, political neutrality, constitution of Panchayat Development Council (PDC) etc. are suggested to over the problem.

The national perspective Plan for women had argued that political power and access to decision making authority are critical requisition for women's equality in the process of nation building. Women participation in both Gram Sabha and Ward Sabha had not been effective. They participated less in number and most of the time remained passive. Considering their educational background and political experience most of the women members needed training regarding objectives of Panchayati Raj System, skills of planning, information on Governmental programmes and articulation skills which may help to increase their efficiency in panchayat administration. The study was done to study the knowledge of women panchayat members about the functions of Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) and to study the achievements made by the women members for the development of their village. This study was conducted in Udaipur district of Rajasthan state, on a sample of 30 panchayat members from 13 different villages through personal interview technique using the schedule. Results shows that majority of the respondents (90.00 %) were newcomers and the reason behind joining panchayat was family/ relatives and husband's pressure. 56.66 percent respondents consulted or consult male panchayat as well as family members. Only 40 per cent of the women were not satisfied with their participation in the panchayat. Cent per cent respondents had a clear concept of ward-sabha and knew the procedure of electing panchayat members. About 2/3rd have knowledge regarding the various functions of panchayat. Now women are coming forward and showing enthusiasm and interest to do something for development of their area. They are doing construction works and establishing community assets.

The village panchayat is the most traditional form of local government in the Indian subcontinent. In its literal sense, the word "panchayat" refers to a group of five (or "Panch") respected and wise elders who have been elected by the people of a certain area. Historically, these assemblies have been used to resolve disagreements between communities and individuals. Local self-government was established in Bombay in 1869 when the British established a district local fund. With the formation of district local boards in 1882, Lord Ripon instituted local self-government in India. A modest attempt is made in this article, following the 73rd constitutional amendment, to identify the operational characteristics of panchayati raj entities. M. K. Gandhi's "Gram Swaraj" and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s wholly opposed position on the intrinsic defects of villages that prohibit panchayats from forming as institutions of self-government dominate India's post-independence discourse on local self-government. To better comprehend India's contemporary panchayat governance structure, an introduction to the country's history of local self-government before and after independence is provided. To better understand panchayats' three-tier structure, the impediments to their efficient operation are underlined. Finding out the roles of panchayats is of limited use without enough financial decentralization. As long as those at the top of society have power, they make it hard for the poor to join in. Thus the aim of the study is to highlight the views of architect of Indian constitution on village panchayats.

The state government is now focusing on decentralized planning and created administrative infrastructure for Gram Panchayat (Village Community) level planning in participatory way. The people are now opening up and started taking part in planning process at grass root level. In order to involve the people and make planning exercise more effective, National Remote Sensing Centre(ISRO), Dept. of Space(DOS) have begun activities using GIS and Communication Technology(Geo-Ict). Considering the potential of Geo-Ict a project titled "Space Based Information Support for Decentralized Planning (SIS-DP)" was launched by NRSC/ISRO under PC-NNRMS, DOS, Govt. of India. Odisha Space Applications Centre as a partner institution, have ful-filled the commitment of generating thematic information on 1 : 10 K from High resolution satellite data (Ortho-Rectified Cartosat-1 & LISS-IV data) for the state of Odisha. Thematic information on Land use, Settlements, Infrastructure and drainage have been generated and started dissemination to the users. The attribute information available from line department have also been linked to spatial framework of the SIS-DP layers. In the present study Bolangir, a drought prone and backward district is taken up. Total 285 thematic maps have been prepared at Gram Panchayat level keeping a buffer of 1.5 km to locally adjust any discrepancies in the boundary. User workshop and awareness campaigns were conducted and feed backs have been collected on Land Utilization Types (LUT). It is felt that extension of these services to the entire State have a strong bearing on improved strategy and planning process by the State.

Full textAbstract:
The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in local governance and public service delivery systems has added a new dimension in the recent times. In West Bengal, processes of decentralisation and institutional issues were assisted by special projects like SRD (Strengthening Rural Decentralisation) and ISGP (Institutional Strengthening of Gram Panchayats) respectively supported by DFID (2005-2011) and World Bank (2011-ongoing). Emphasis on GIS based monitoring of decentralised planning process, tracking key services provided by Gram Panchayats, use of GPMS (Gram Panchayat Management System) software for administrative and financial management are few of these key measures which rely on the use of ICTs in the local governance system. Apart from that, Ministry of Panchayati Raj has issued several guidelines on use of uniform portal like e-Gramswaraj for uploading Gram Panchayat Development Plans online. It is widely believed that issues like accountability and transparency can be ensured in the institutions of Gram Panchayats with advent of such measures. In this article we will analyse the effectiveness of ICT in bringing transparency and strengthen institutional accountability in the Gram Panchayats. Four Gram Panchayats in the District of Birbhumwere selected to understand how the effective implementation of ICT measures impact on the overall institutional strengthening of Gram Panchayats. For the purpose and the rigour of the study the GPs were selected on the basis of identified socio-economic and other important methodological indicators. Elected Representatives and local residents were selected as respondents. Gram Panchayats were visited for this purpose. For the collection of data structured questionnaire, personal interview, FGDs and case study methods were also used.The finding shows that the role of ICTs in the rural local governance process is limited. The administrative practices, monitoring of planning cycle, GPs financial management has improved undoubtedly but it is not a panacea as viewed by some experts. The study argues that limited involvement of the local residents in the process with low attendance in Gram Sabha and Gram Sansads meetings cannot be compensated with the modern technologies.

Full textAbstract:
The women constitute half of the society. The feudal attitudes of looking down upon the abilities of women and not promoting them, is still continuing in different degrees at various levels of our society. While women have made many advances, their inferior status to men continues to be a global phenomenon. At a time of unprecedented economic growth, India is experiencing a dramatic intensification of violence against women and the majority of girls are still not getting equal educational opportunity. In one of the most important steps for the empowerment of women, the Indian government gave constitutional status to village-level councils or Panchayati Raj institutions and reserved 33% of the seats in Panchayats for women. Punjab government, like many other states of India, has given 50% reservations in Panchayati Raj Institutions in 2018. As a result, during the elections held in December 2018, 50% women elected in local bodies in Punjab. The present study addresses the question that weather women are actually empowered through this reservation in Panchayati Raj Institutions? For this purpose Gram Panchayat Women Elected Representatives especially Sarpanchs (Head of Panchayat) of Sangrur district (Malwa region) in Punjab have been chosen. The district Sangrur is chosen because it is one of the largest districts of Punjab. There is total 600 Gram Panchayats in the district, divided into 10 blocks, out of which Sarpanchs of 300 Panchayats are women. For the completion of this study a convenient sample of 100 Women Elected Representatives (Sarpanchs), 10 from each block, have chosen. Data has collected through primary as well as secondary sources. The views of all the Sarpanchs have taken with the help of structured interviewed Schedule. This paper concludes with some suggestions for actual empowerment of women in PRIs.

Development cannot be achieved without the participation of people from all segments of society. It is a process that requires collective action for social transformation or social change in the socio-economic and political lives of the people. The Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) is one of the major programmes in India to promote sanitation and hygiene. The article is an attempt made to understanding the Dalit population’s participation in the total sanitation programme. The field visits in six villages reveal that illiterate 20 per cent respondents did not participate in the decision-making process. Gram panchayat has not given equal opportunity for participation to Dalit women in the planning process of the campaign activities. Educated people are more likely to get the opportunity for participation in planning and implementation of the scheme. Villages, even gram panchayats, have not conducted any awareness campaign to disseminate the information of the Campaign among Dalit and rural masses.

Full textAbstract:
Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) is a system of rural local self-government in India. Panchayati Raj is a system of governance in which gram panchayats are the basic units of administration. It has 3 levels: village, block and district. “Panchayat” literally means assembly (yat) of five (panch) and ‘Raj’ literally means governance or government. Mahatma Gandhi advocated Panchayati Raj a decentralized form of Government where each village is responsible for its own affairs, as the foundation of India’s political system. His term for such a vision was “Gram Swaraj”(Village Self-governance).The dream of 'Gram Swaraj' of our beloved father of nation, Mahatma Gandhi and motto of 'Power to People' are essence of true democracy. The task of capacity building of these large numbers of Panchayats is quite gigantic exercise. As per the assessment of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj even after 22 years of enactment of 73rd Constitutional (Amendment) Act and also after having three rounds of Panchayat elections in many States in India the empowerment of Panchayats have not taken place as envisioned in the 73rd Constitution (Amendment) Act in 1992.The 73rd Amendment to the Constitution in 1992 gave Constitutional status to the Panchayats as institutions of local self government and also for planning and implementing programmes for economic development and social justice. The Panchayati Raj System is not a new concept and therefore is considered as one of the best ways of governance of the rural India. However, the System of Panchayati Raj despite having derived their power and existence from the constitution of India. In this paper discuss Panchayati raj Structure, Evolution, 73rd Constitutional (Amendment) Act, Ministry of Panchayati Raj and Panchayati Raj System in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Equality in socio-economic component is essential for human development and social change. Educational inequality reduces economic growth and women's empowerment on the one hand and increases birth rate on the other. In population studies, it has been established that educational level is collinearly related with demographic behaviour. This study aims to investigate inequalities in literacy rates and its impact on birth rates in Nowpara-I Gram Panchayat (GP) located in the Krishnagar II C.D. Block, Nadia District of West Bengal using a household survey conducted in 356 households among women aged 49 and above in triangulation with secondary data. The aim of this study is to explore the causes of the spatial inequalities in education and its effect on spatial variations in birth rates. The key finding suggest that in Nowpara-I, negative relationships exist between female education and birth rate because education has a positive impact on empowerment, late marriage, use of contraceptives and family size.

In order to achieve the overall progress of the country with active and effective participation of all sections of society, the 12<sup>th</sup> Five Year Plan (FYP) would bring Panchayats centre-stage and achieve the inclusive growth agenda through inclusive governance. The concept of 'democratic decentralization' in the form of a three-tier administration was introduced in the name of "Panchayat Raj". Horizontally, it is a network of village Panchayats. Vertically, it is an organic growth of Panchayats rising up to national level. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj has three broad agenda: Empowerment, Enablement and Accountability. Space based Information Support for Decentralized Planning (SIS-DP) is one of the initiatives taken by Govt. of India with ISRO/DOS for generation and dissemination of spatial information for planning at the grass root level. <br><br> The boundary layer for villages across different states/district/block is available with line departments. Most of these data exist at a much generalized scale. These boundaries do not overlay exactly with that of ground realities and may not be suitable for accurate analysis in terms of area, shape, position, etc. To deal with this problem, a strategy is adopted, which makes use of High Resolution Satellite Imagery (HRSI) from Indian Remote sensing satellites and cadastral maps at 1:4000 scale integrated with GIS techniques to enhance the accuracy of geo-spatial depiction of Village/Panchayat boundaries. <br><br> Cadastral maps are used to depict the boundaries of land parcels and other features at the village level. These maps are registered to ortho products of HRSI using Ground Control Points. The cadastral maps are precisely overlaid on ortho-rectified HRSI and each parcel vertex is tagged with the real-world geographical coordinates. Village boundaries are extracted from the geo-referenced village cadastral maps. These boundaries are fine-tuned by considering under lap and overlap of neighboring villages and a mosaic is generated at the subdistrict and district level. Each village is coded with a unique number based on Ministry of Panchayati Raj and Census department codes. Villages are mapped to their respective Panchayat(s) directory and are dissolved in GIS environment based on code/nomenclature to obtain the final Gram Panchayat Layer. <br><br> The present study attempts to showcase the methodology for deriving precise Village/Panchayat Boundaries using geo-spatial techniques. The final output will immensely help the Ministry of Panchayati Raj and Rural Development for implementing the developmental programs in tune with 73<sup>th</sup> and 74<sup>th</sup> constitutional amendments.

Abstract Context: Due to water scarcity, wastewater is used in agriculture in peri-urban areas. Aims and Settings: We aimed to assess the hazards associated with wastewater farming and develop an incremental improvement plan for the sanitation system of wastewater use for agriculture using Sanitation Safety Planning (SSP) in Bangalore urban district, India. Methods: Interviews and observations were conducted among 100 farmers in the Mugalur Gram Panchayat area. Results: Direct ingestion and ingestion after contact with wastewater due to inadequate hand hygiene are the routes of contact with wastewater. The control measures followed in the community are the cultivation of crops, which do not have direct contact with wastewater, furrow and drip irrigation, and restricted irrigation. Methods to mitigate the hazards are the provision of interval between final irrigation and consumption,washing of produce with freshwater before transportation to market, and hygienic cooking. Conclusion: Occupational hazards and risks associated with wastewater farming can be mitigated through the adoption of locally acceptable preventive measures.

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, urea-dissolving and non-spore-forming bacterium, designated strain NiVa 51T, was isolated from water of the River Torsa in Hasimara, Jalpaiguri district, West Bengal, India. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain NiVa 51T was shown to belong to the γ-Proteobacteria and to be related to Serratia marcescens subsp. sakuensis (98·35 %) and S. marcescens subsp. marcescens (98·30 %); however, strain NiVa 51T exhibited only 43·7 % similarity to S. marcescens by DNA–DNA hybridization. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the isolate was 60 mol%. Both biochemical characteristics and fatty acid analysis data supported the affiliation of strain NiVa 51T to the genus Serratia. Furthermore, strain NiVa 51T was found to utilize urea as nitrogen source. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization as well as physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain NiVa 51T from recognized Serratia species. Strain NiVa 51T therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Serratia ureilytica sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain NiVa 51T (=LMG 22860T=CCUG 50595T).

In recent years women empowerment has become a significant issue among academicians, social workers, and policy decision-makers in India. After the successful establishment of the Panchayat system as well as reservations for women in the local bodies, there has been a tremendous change in the number of women representatives in PRIs. But women empowerment is not an easy process rather, that needs a change in the mindset of the patriarchal society, social institutions, and far more determined effort on the part of the women representatives. Sometimes it becomes difficult to serve political duties for the women representatives in this present situation where there is a lack of proper knowledge, lack of education, lots of dependencies, family influence, and so on. In this light, the present study is an attempt to examine the socio-economic conditions and experiences of the elected women representatives of Gram Panchayats of Raiganj and Islampur Blocks and their participation in different sectors of grassroots politics. The whole study is based on empirical data which have been collected through field survey.

The health consequences for those living without using toilets are severe. Approximately 480,000 children under5 year age die annually from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and a lack of access to proper sanitation. That’s almost 2,000 kids a day. In developing countries like India, 57 per cent of households do not have a toilet. And in Tamil Nadu mainly, it was at 52 per cent. In India, civil societies and local government play a vital role in rural development, and they are responsible for transforming the socio-economic features of the villages in India. The central and state governments are implementing many schemes like the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), and so on to protect child and women’s health. Both governments to give reward for full achievement of gram panchayats like Nirmal Gram Puraskar (NGP) and reward up to Rs. 10 lakhs. Tamil Nadu provides an award with for Clean Village Campaign (CVC), and the reward is Rs. 5 lakhs at the state government level, The present study focuses on the availability and utilisation of sanitation facilities in Manjakuttai gram panchayat (GP). This GP awarded NGP in 2008. So the present paper contains the importance and need of the study, literature review, objectives of the study, methodology, general observation, rural sanitation etc.; An attempt is made, to study the sanitation facilities in general and particular to study the Manjakuttai GP of Yercaud block in Salem district, Tamil Nadu.

Full textAbstract:
The Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), a ‘flagship’ programme of the Government of India, has completed a decade of implementation. The TSC over the period has been able to improve human health and sanitation coverage in the country. The initial success could be attributed to ‘Nirmal Gram Puraskar’. The total sanitation campaign has effectively made use of the village social structures in Kerala to solve the first generation sanitation issues. Disparities could also be seen. As the TSC is on the verge of a positive transformation to a new and broader perspective, and as the state look forward for a new dimension in sanitation concepts over the next five-year plan, it asks for a review on the coverage patterns. This would support the policy-makers to invest in edifying ideals as the nation progress from the TSC to ‘Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan’. The broad objective of the study thus is to assess the impact of sanitation and hygiene coverage in the state. For measuring the outcomes and relative performance in terms of total sanitation provision, seven selected Gram Panchayats of Kozhikode district are considered. To arrive at a robust scenario, a synthesis of a narrative and statistical model was used. An innovative measurement framework known as ‘Total Sanitation Index’ was developed. The index was formulated for comprehending the relative positions of each Panchayat in terms of total sanitation and the results were presented.

Background: Village Health, Sanitation, and Nutrition Committee (VHSNC) is an important tool and measure of communitization and way of decentralization to plan & monitor health care down to the village level. Objective: To assess the communitization through knowledge, attitude & practices (KAP) status of its members. Material & Method: Observational, cross-sectional study conducted over the period of two years in all 13 blocks of Pune District in Maharashtra state. Data were collected using prestructured and pretested proforma from seven members per VHSNC. Qualitative data variables were expressed by using frequency & percentages. Quantitative data variables were expressed by Chi-square tests (95% CI). Results: Mean age of members was 40.77 ± 9.30 years. The majority of them, i.e., 76%, were females. The distribution of social categories shows that 20% of members were SCs/STs and 19% OBCs. The majority, i.e., 34%, were found to be educated up to secondary education. The mean KAP score of all members was documented to be 39.05, which indicated unsatisfactory communitization. KAP regarding VHSNCs was highest among Anganwadi Workers, followed by Auxiliary Nurse Midwives, Multipurpose Workers, Sarpanchs, Accredited Social Health Activists, Gram Panchayat members, and others. A significant association was found between the KAPscore of members with their education, designation in VHSNC, and background. (p < 0.05) Conclusion: The Communitisation across the district, as indicated by the KAP score of members, was found to be unsatisfactory. Thus, efforts through the capacity-building program for the members of VHSNC will be beneficial.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture is the cornerstone of many rural communities worldwide. Tribal farmers play a vital role in preserving agricultural customs and ensuring regional food security. The efficient management of agricultural information is critical in modern farming operations, as it allows farmers to enhance production, make informed decisions, and adapt to changing environmental conditions. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in agriculture include networks, mobile devices, services, and applications that aid in the processing, management, and exchange of data, information, or knowledge within the farming ecosystem. ICTs assist farmers through educational procedures in improving farming methods and techniques, increasing production efficiency and income, bettering their levels of living, and lifting the social and educational standards of rural life. The study was conducted in the Keonjhar district of Odisha. An ex-post facto research design was followed for carrying out the study. The research study was followed by both purposive and non-probability random sampling methods for the selection of district, block, gram panchayat, village, and respondents. 120 respondents were selected through disproportionate random sampling. The study revealed the relationship between some socio—economic and psychological variables and Agricultural information management behavior. From this correlation, it was observed that age is negatively correlated and other variables such as gender, education, income, family size, outward orientation, training program, and social participation are positively correlated with information-seeking sources. These variables are directly proportional to the information-seeking sources.
