VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Thaggali Hosahalli Village

1. Introduction:

Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) is inspired by the vision of transformational change in rural

development processes by leveraging knowledge institutions to help build the architecture of

an Inclusive India. The Mission of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan is to enable higher educational

institutions to work with the people of rural India in identifying development challenges and

evolving appropriate solutions for accelerating sustainable growth. It also aims to create a

virtuous cycle between society and an inclusive academic system by providing knowledge

and practices for emerging professions and to upgrade the capabilities of both the public and

the private sectors in responding to the development needs of rural India. CHRIST (Deemed

to be University) had conducted a socio demographic survey to understand the condition of

the village in order to develop action plans to address the key issues existing in the village in

collaboration with various stakeholders such as Panchayath, govt. line departments,

community members and other players interested in the development of the village. Key

issues emerging from the survey and the plan of action to address the issues are furnished

below.

2. Village background

3. Objectives

preliminary discussion with Panchayath and block administration, the objectives of the work

to be carried out by the CHRIST ( Deemed to be University) in this village was defined as

follows:

To effectively participate in the holistic development of the Thaggali Hosahalli

village by preparing an integrated development plan for the village by using local

resources and eco-friendly sustainable technologies to improve the people’s standard

of living.

To support the district administration and Panchayath raj institutions by providing

technologies inputs and supporting in developmental activities

4. Methodology

UBA objectives and receiving support from the government departments

The team started implementing the programmes based on the village development

plan with support of the CHRIST (Deemed to be University) Faculty and students,

government departments and CHETANA cooperative society.

The University team will explore the possible collaboration and support from the local

NGOs and CSR companies like ITC, MYRADA, SVYM and SAHAS to implement

the planned activities based on Village Development Plan

5. Issues Emerging/Identified:

Various issues and community needs identified through the household survey1, village survey

and Grama Sabha are:

1. Poverty: Poverty alleviation programmes have to be planned, because as per the data out

of 139 out of 141 families come are below poverty line. Schemes that support families in

increasing their income should be introduced. Individual household assessment has to be

conducted to have clarity on why such a large number of families in the village fall under

the BPL category. Helping the families to improve their family income through all the

available sources will boost the per capita income and fight the evil of poverty.

2. Poor Aadhaar and Bank Coverage: Aadhaar and Bank coverage have become an

important component in taping the resources from the government agencies. Though

most of the villagers

have the Aadhaar with

them, there are 46

individuals without this

facility. With regard to

bank coverage 239 out of

1 Village and Household Survey tools developed by Indian Institute for Technology Delhi was used.

680 individuals are without bank accounts. People in the village should be provided

awareness about the need and importance of holding bank account and should have a

zero-balance account for every individual. This will help people to tap the resources from

the government schemes as the benefits of all the schemes can only be availed by

individuals with these facilities.

3. Lack of Awareness on various schemes: People lack awareness on various facilities

and benefits. Agriculture, employment, income generation, health care, etc, can be

improved by the increased awareness among the people of the village on the various

government schemes and programmes. Government schemes are not satisfactorily

utilized in this village. People are aware about only few schemes. The statistics on the

awareness level of individuals and households following these schemes are very poor.

4. Medium Literacy level: The village has the primary schooling facility. The total literacy

rate in this village is 71.03% which is lesser than the average literacy rate of Karnataka

state 75.60%.

Though women and

elderly are involved

in SHG and other

income generation

activities, there is a

need to increase the

literacy rate among

the adults. However,

during discussions with CWMS2, SHG members and community people, it came to light

that Adult Literacy was not a priority.

5. Lack of Education: According to the data the enrollment of children in schools is good

enough. However the data is indicating that more emphasis should be given to the high

school and higher education and no girl child seemed to be attending college from the

village. However, when cross verified with the people, CWMS, school teachers and

SHG members through discussions, this is not an issue.

6. Poor Heath Care Facility: Health care facility has to be improved in the village.

Making people aware and conscious about the health requirements is an important

component. No primary health centers are noticed in this village through the survey.

Advocacy for improving the reach of PHC and sub centres in the villages can also

improve the health conditions of the people in the village.

7. Scarcity of Drinking Water: Drinking water facility has to be improved in the village.

About 141 households in this village depend on other resources for drinking water which

could be the water supply from the Panchayat (community tap) or any other sources. The

source of this water supply is rarely understood. Piped water and hand pumps are used by

less number of people. They depend more on the community tap which can cause health

related issues. Regulating and monitoring proper water supply through the different

schemes by state/central schemes can improve the drinking water facility. Drinking water

facility at households with proper water purification can help children and families to be

free from waterborne diseases.

8. Poor Sanitation and Drainage Connectivity: In continuation to the contribution to the

health care programmes, there is an urgent need to improve the sanitation and drainage

facility in the village.

Household waste

collection or waste

management system is

poor. Managing the

waste generated in the

village is very important

and it can be very

promisingly used.

Drainage linked to the

households is open in 63 households out of 141 households. It was understood that 116

out of 141 households have compost pit and the community people can be trained to put

this to proper use as it becomes organic manure after sometime. There are 8 households

that do not have the toilet facility.

9. Under Utilization of Agriculture and Livestock: Better agricultural method with

proper irrigation facility can actually improve the per capita income of the people in

the village. People here live

mainly relying on the

agriculture and livestock.

Since the village has got

97.24 acres of agricultural

land, better farming

techniques, and multiple

cropping systems, better

seeds and use of organic

manures and fertilizers can

strengthen the agricultural base of the village. People should be made aware to tap

livestock insurance and knowhow and services from the veterinary department for

increasing the milk production. Helping villagers to find market for their own produce

is very important to sustain them in the same occupation. They can be helped to tap

loans for livestock from the Milk Diary in village, veterinary department and

Karnataka Milk Federation etc.

10. Alternate Energy: According to the data solar power can be introduced in the village

since there are no solar power generators in the village.
