FOREWORD

The Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, Govt of India had launched Basic Statistics for Local Level Development. In Karnataka, Ballary, Chikkamagalur and Dharwad districts were selected on pilot basis for this study. It aimed at to prepare a data base containing the information on all sectors like demography, land utilization, education, health, road connectivity and basic amenities with regard to each gram panchayat. Such information has become increasingly essential for preparation of plan at micro level.

The preparation of district plan has been made mandatory in the wake of 73rd Constitutional amendment. Accordingly, the plans prepared by Panchayat Raj Institutions and Municipalities in the District are consolidated to form District plans.

Accordingly, it is prerequisite to have the comprehensive data on all key parameters to prepare the Gram Panchayat Plan with holistic approach.

The survey on Basic Statistics for Local Level Development was got conducted by District Statistical Officer, Dharwad. The gram panchayat secretaries and their staff associated with the survey work. The efforts made by District Statistical Officer & their staff in conducting the survey remained excellent.

I hope this survey would go a long way towards achieving the targeted goal of decentralized planning a success.

Basic Statistics For Local Level Development

(BSLLD)

Introduction:

The 73rd and 74th Constitutional amendment mandated the

empowerment of Panchayat Raj Institutions and local bodies according

constitutional status to these institutions and enabling them to take up their

development process themselves. A number of schemes are being implemented

by various departments for the socio‐economic development of rural areas. The

requisite data to assess the development and thrust areas at the local level is not

available. The formulation of plans/schemes without assessing the relevant data

has not been successful in the past. As a result, local needs and priorities could

not be reflected in the state plans and, therefore, these plans could not be helpful

in the socio‐economic development of the rural areas.

The National Statistical System must assist the various development

agencies in this challenging task. The recent advances in information technology

in compilation, storage and analysis of statistical data should be fully exploited for

development at local levels. In view of the above, the National Statistical

Commission recommended to prepare a database on local level by regular flow of

data from the grass root level to ensure the development at micro level.

Pilot Study on Local Level Development:

In accordance with the recommendation of National Statistical Commission,

the Central Statistical Organisation, Ministry of Statistics and Programme

Implementation, Govt. of India decided to carry out a pilot study in the country to

collect the basic statistics on the local level development. The objective of this

scheme is development of village level database on population, demography,

employment, village facilities, migration etc. which may be used as input for

micro‐level planning for villages and panchayats to facilitate formulation of local

level development plans. The Panchayat Secretaries compiled village level data in

coordination with the village level functionaries such as Anganwadi workers,

ANMs, village elders etc. The Directorate of Economics and Statistics had been

made over all incharge for coordination and maintainance of quality of the

compiled data. The Scheme is being implemented as a Central Scheme on a pilot

basis in three districts namely, Ballary, Chikkamagalur and Dharwad. In Dharwad

district all the five taluks have been selected for the pilot study.

METHODOLODY:

The specific schedules designed by the High Power Committee were supplied

to all the field level functionaries and the necessary training was also provided to

them. There were two types of schedules for compilation of information at village

level.

Schedule A is a periodic dataset for which data was to be collected for

the reference year 2009. This includes data on population (both for age group and

social group), total number of households, number of households headed by

women, data on morbidity and disability, number of literate persons, data on

enrolment and drop out, land utilization in the village, number of market outlets

etc.

Schedule B is dynamic in nature and it was to be collected on

monthly basis. The data was collected for the month of January, February and

March, 2009. This include number of live births, still births, and deaths, number of

deaths of women, number of pregnant women, data on migration, total number

of indoor ‐patients and their details , total number of marriages, number of street

children, sex workers, beggars, incidence of violence against women, number of

small‐scale enterprises and workers therein etc.

Pilot Study in Dharwad District:

In accordance with the usual practice Dharwad district too has been named

after the district headquarter town. Dharwad district has a history of more than

eight centuries. Strictly speaking, the district takes its name from a portion of the

pre‐eminent town of the district. Formerly, this district (as well as the former

town) was known as Dharwar, an anglicized form of Dharwad or more properly

Dharwada.

Administrative Setup:

The present Dharwad district comprised of five taluks viz., Dharwad,

Hubli, Kalaghatgi, Kundgol and Navalgund group into one Revenue sub‐division of

Dharwad. As a sequel of Govt. of Karnataka’s Notification dated 2nd August, 1997,

seven new districts took their birth showing territorial changes on the

administrative and political map of Karnataka. As a consequence, Dharwad was

8rifurcatio into three districts namely, Dharwad, Gadag and Haveri. Prior to

8rifurcation Dharwad consisted of 17 taluks of these five taluks viz., Dharwad,

Hubli, Kalaghatgi, Kundgol and Navalgund have been retained within the

jurisidiction of Dharwad.

As per 2001 census, there are six towns and 379 villages in Dharwad

district. Dharwad district located in the western sector of the northern half of the

Karnataka State. Total Geographical area of the district is about 4,260 sq.kms and

ranks at 24th place among the districts in the state. Dharwad district has the

greatest extent from north to south 72 kms. And from east to west 87 kms. The

district is bound by Belgaum in the north, to the south it is bound by Haveri

district, to the east by Gadag district and to the southwest by the Uttara Kannada

district.

Location and Size

Dharwad district lies between the latitudinal parallels of 15 degree 2

minutes north and 15 degree 40 minutes north and longitudinal parallels of 74

degree 43 minutes east and 75 degree 36 minutes east. The most conspicuous

contour lines of very high and very low areas of the district is located at 500 and

700 metres above the mean sea level respectively.

Physiography:

Physiographically Dharwad falls within the well defined macro region of

Deccan Plateau, one of the two regions in which the state has been divided.

Within the state, it is a part of the central Karnataka plateau, one of the four

micro regions into which the state has been further divided. The district is

classified into two prominent landscape : the Dharwad and the black soil plains.

The Dharwad landscape which features Sahyadrian region of the western belt of

the district covers the Kalaghatgi taluk. The landscape is marked by chain of low

hill ranges. The landscape of black soil plains on this Sahyadrian region constitute

a transitional belt where the hilly landscape of the west passes into the

undulating plain of black soil.

Drainage:

The drainage for Dharwad is mainly through perennial and seasonal

streams. The elevated belt stretching from Dharwad towards Hubli and beyond

constitute a part of the main watershed of the Sahyadris. Bennihalla, which is a

chief tributary of the river Malaprabha, is the foremost of the perennial streams

in the district. From the north, this stream receives the drainage water of the

Tuparinala. Both the Bennihalla and the Tuparinala basins are important from the

point of view of agriculture. Also, a small tract in the western margin, south‐west

of Dharwad and Hubli is drained westwards to the Arabian sea by the Shalmala

river.

Climate:

Dharwad district has an agreeable and healthy climate. The central and

western belt covering Sahyadri region has more pleasant weather than other

parts of the district. The year is usually divided into four seasons and they are as

follows:‐

1) Summer sets in during the second half of February and last till

the end of May.This season is marked by harsh eastern winds, rising temperature.

2) South‐west monsoon starts during early June and last till end of September.

This is a period of cool and damp climate. 3) The months of October and

November constitute a gradual rise in day temperature and substantial amount of

rainfall. 4) Winter season covers the period from December to mid of February

and during this season the district enjoys moderate weather.

Rainfall Pattern:

The district falls under northern transition, northern dry and hilly

agroclimatic zones of Karnataka. Dharwad, Hubli and Kundgol fall under northern

transition zone. The Navalgund taluk falls under northern dry zone, Kalaghatgi

taluk falls under hilly zone.

The average rainfall of the district ranges from 606 mm in Navalgund taluk

to 1032 mm in Kalaghatgi taluk. Among the taluks in the district the premonsoon

rainfall contributes 15 to 22 per cent of the annual rainfall, south west monsoon

contributes 58 to 68 per cent and north east monsoon contributes 17 to 23 per

cent of the annual rainfall.

Cropping Pattern:

Agriculture is an important livelihood for the people of Dharwad district.

More than 50 per cent of the population is engaged in agricultural activity. Paddy,

Jowar, Wheat, Maize, Bengal gram, Groundnut, Dry chillies Onion and cotton are

the major crops grown in the district. Besides, horticultural crops like Mango,

Sapota and Guava are also grown in the district.

Irrigation:

Canal Irrigation is the major source in the district. Hubli and Navalgund are

the two taluks which are benefitted by the source. This is because of the

Malaprabha irrigation project in Soundatti taluk of Belgaum district. Some of the

villages in Dharwad and Kalaghatgi taluks are irrigated by tanks. Tubewells are the

other major source of irrigation.

Source of Information

Periodic Data sets:

It has been observed that the Panchayats maintain the data on various socio‐economic issues in their “Samanya Mahiti” booklets. Most of the information have been available from the source code 01(Gram Panchayat), followed by Anganwadi workers code 02, Village Accountants code 04 and local schools code 06.

The study further reveals that the information pertaining to maximum no. of blocks collected from panchayats code 01(total 7 blocks). The information regarding 5, 8, 9 has become available from source code 02 (Anganwadi Worker), 06 (local school), 04 (Village Accountant) respectively.

Dynamic Data Sets:

The maximum number of information have been collected frolm the source code 01 panchayat followed by the code 02 Anganwadi Worker, code 10 knowledgeable person for each month of January, February and March 2009.

Thus it is concluded that the information of majority of items for Block 22 (Demographic information), Block 23 (Morbidity), & Block 24 (Migration) are collected from source code 02 (Anganwadi Worker). For Block 25 (Other Social Indicators) and Block 26 (Industries and Business), majority of information are collected from source code 01 (Panchayats).

Directorate of Economics & Statistics and District Statistical Officer greatfully acknowledge The Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Panchayat, Dharwad for extending full co‐operation in collection of information. It is because of their timely guidance and persuation that this Pilot Study could be completed successfully in stipulated time venture.

Limitations of the Study

The information maintained by anganwadi workers was found more reliable

as it is collected for each household. But it has not been compiled by them as per

the requirement of Basic Statistics for Local Level Development (BSLLD) village

schedule (A & B), as there is no regular flow of such data from bottom to

upwards. Therefore, special compilation is required for generating data as per

BSLLD village schedules (A & B) like age group wise/social group wise etc.

Regarding the education sector, if there is no school in the village, no data is

available for education sector. In addition, the data for the students, who go to

schools situated outside the village or in city area, is not available. Therefore, for

education sector the data is available only for the village schools and not for all

the students.

Information on health has been collected from PHC/CHC/SC existing in the

village. More than one village is covered by each PHC/CHC/SC. The data

maintained by PHC/CHC/SC has to be scruitinized and sorted out for each village

as it is not being maintained separately for each village. Besides many villagers do

not visit PHC/CHC/SC but they get treatment from the hospitals situated outside

the village. Therefore, no record for such patients is available at village level.

It is difficult to get live stock population annually as live stock census is

conducted once in 5 years in the State and further no updation is made regularly.

Regarding morbidity data, no record is maintained at village level. No specific

information is available regarding Employment & Unemployment, total no. of

marriages, migration, other social indicators like street children/beggers etc. It is

based on tha assumption of some knowledgeable persons and it could not be

cross checked.

Suggestions Regarding Study:

a) Gram Panchayat Secretaries had to collect the basic data from other field

functionaries such as Anganwadi workers, ANMs, Village Accountants, Schools

and knowledgeable persons etc.

b) It is very difficult for a Gram Panchayat Secretary to coordinate with field

functionaries (line departments) because he has already heavy work load.

Therefore, it would be much better if 3‐4 officials have been deputed at Taluk

level to collect this information from the line departments and field functionaries

directly.

c) As these surveys are conducted on regular basis, therefore DES should be

strengthened. About 3‐4 officials of DES should be deputed at Taluk level

exclusively for this survey to facilitate the special compilation and generation of

data as per BSLLD village Schedules (A & B). These officials would be able to

compile the data at their own level in a better way.
