1 CONTEXT OF POP STRATEGY

1.1 Evolution of IKP:
Indira Kranti Patham a state-wide community driven project implemented by
SERP (Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty) is aimed at alleviating poverty from
rural areas in all its dimensions. The main objective is to enable the rural poor in the
state, particularly the poorest of the poor, to improve their livelihoods and quality of life.
The Project has been working towards the goal of enabling each poor family in the state
improve their livelihoods and quality of life and following them up till they come out of
poverty. The Poorest of the Poor and Poor households have been identified using the
participatory identification tools and different interventions were planned and
implemented to achieve the above stated goal.
The IKP focuses on rural poor families in all the 1099 Rural Mandals in 22 rural
districts of the State. The IKP evolved in two phases as two projects. The first Phase and
first project was Andhra Pradesh District Poverty Initiatives Project (APDPIP) covering
316 mandals in 6 districts. The second Phase project is Andhra Pradesh Rural Poverty
Reduction Project (APRPRP) covering another 548 mandals in 16 districts. The
extension of APRPRP covering all rural mandals is now rechristened as Indira Kranti
Patham.

1.2 IKP at a Glance

There are 1,06,60,968 members in 9,33,585 SHGs exclusively for women. A total
of 36,391 Village Organizations (VOs), 1099 Mandal Samakhyas (MSs) and 22 Zilla
Samakhyas have come into existence in 22 districts. As on today, the total Savings and
Corpus of SHG Members are Rs.2660.96 Crores and Rs.4508.92 crores respectively.
Micro-Credit considered a major panacea in poverty alleviation is being
facilitated by IKP through linking of loans with various nationalized and regional banks.
Bank lending has significantly increased from Rs.197.70 Crores in 2001-02 to Rs.
6649.44 Crores in 2008-09. Further, Rs.9000 crores has been kept as the target for the
current financial year 2009-10. In addition, SERP has been playing pivotal role in
implementing various novel schemes addressing the social and economic needs of the
poor. Few of them are

Community Investment Fund

Pavala vaddi or interest subsidy on the loan repaid
Community Managed Sustainable Agriculture
Dairy promotion
Collective Marketing of agricultural produce
Rural Non-farm livelihoods
Health and Nutrition for rural poor women

Education for rural children

Dr.Y.S.R. Abhaya Hastham / Insurance

Employment generation for the educated rural youth

1.3 Rationale for PoP strategy

It has been the observation in the field that though Institutions of the Poor have
been built and strengthened, their outreach to the Poorest of the Poor households still
needs to be improved and it requires concentrated and focused attention on these
particular households. It may be asked as to why a separate strategy for poorest of the
poor when the main objective of the existing programme itself is to eliminate poverty.
Since its inception, IKP has been putting constant and diligent effort to eliminate
poverty in all its forms. The programme is successful as more than one crore women
have got organized into groups and are deriving benefits from various programmes.
SERP, over the years has created an eco-system where multiple opportunities are
available for the rural households to access and come out of poverty. But the 20-30% of
the PoP households particularly those from SC &ST communities lacked the requisite
skills to grab the basket of opportunities available. The presumption that the
empowered network of CBOs will facilitate such handholding of the SC&ST households
once the IKP staff shift from an intensive SHG focussed facilitation to nurturing the
higher level CBOs like VOs, MMS and ZSs proved premature. It is now evident that the
CBOs of poor with their own continuous struggles to keep pace with the vagaries of the
rural socio-economic dynamics to come out of poverty are not able to provide quality
time and effort to the much more complex socio-economic dynamics that beset SC & ST
households.
The poorest of the poor families still need intensive handholding as they are still
in the back seat due to various reasons. In a study carried out by some Young
Professionals working for IKP in four districts (Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Nellore
and Chittoor) on the impact of SHGs over the PoP, the findings showed that a lot needs
to be done to bring them on par with the others. The same was portrayed in many of
field visits and field based studies and also in the regular MIS. In addition, there are
many BPL families who even-after accessing the loans from IKP have fallen prey to the
reins of poverty due to inability to absorb the shocks.
In order to connect the missing links (indeed the main links) with the SHG
movement, it becomes crucial for the programme to be PoP-centric. In this context,
the need for a new strategy focussing on the PoP household evolved out alongwith the
emphasis on enhancing the income levels and the reduction in expenses. SERP is
revisiting its strategy for facilitating the PoP Households to come out of poverty by
positioning a dedicated facilitation unit which comprises of the IKP staff and trained
community members to work intensively for these households. Here, the focus is on the
household. Breakthrough in CMSA for PoP Households:

Another compelling factor that played a crucial role in the design of the PoP
strategy was the breakthrough that SERP achieved in CMSA.
To be obtained from Raidu sir
For PoP households, this means converting their unproductive assets in the form
of small land holdings into a sustainable income generating productive asset.

2 POP STRATEGY
2.1 Vision statement (2018)
Every poorest of poor family in the state comes out of poverty with
increased and sustainable livelihood opportunities established with the aid of
an intensive handholding support in a phased manner

2.2 Mission statement

Multidimensional
Focus
on
Each
individual
family
to
enhance/strengthen their livelihoods with a special focus on agri-based
interventions

Re-orienting supporting staff over the Household focus and on its

subsequent
income
enhancement
and
re-skilling
them
accordingly(atleast a rise in INR 60000 per family within 3 years)

Establishing suitable decision support systems to enable better

monitoring and corrective mechanisms

Ensuring all related and necessary components implemented within the

purview of IKP reach each PoP household

The long term objective of the PoP Strategy is to enable every poorest of the poor
household to come out of poverty in a span of 5 to 10 years. The same has to be done in a
focused and phased manner starting with organizing them, strengthening their
institutions, increasing their asset base, mitigating risks, expanding the livelihoods and
increasing their incomes. Every poorest of poor family in the state should earn an
additional income of Rs.60,000 per annum with 3 years of intensive handholding
support.

2.3 Proposed components to generate additional income-

2.4 Core interventionsProposed Component

Expected Rise in Income

Wage employment from NREGS

Rs.25000 to Rs.40000
Rs.5000 to Rs.10000
Rs.15000 to Rs.25000

Income from Non-Farm activities, Specific to PoP HH

Jobs in urban areas, etc.
Every eligible PoP HH is covered in the SHG network
PoP SHGs are strengthened through strong IB inputs
Each PoP SHG accesses bank linkage as per their eligibility
Each PoP HH accesses atleast 1 lakh credit in a 3 doses
Each PoP HH accesses at least 100 days of wage employment
Ensure land access:0.25 to 0.5 acres wet (Own or lease) / 0.75 to 1 acres dry (own
or assigned)
PoP Lands are developed and cultivated through CMSA methods
PoP HHs acquire milch animals through Bank linkage / PoP fund
PoP HHs demand and access the needed benefits from various government
schemes
PoP HHs receive the benefits under components of Health & Nutrition,
Education and Gender in a phased manner
PoP HH that are not eligible for SHGs are linked with various government
interventions as per their rights and entitlements

2.5 Key Arrangements

Each PoP household will be monitored and followed up for the next 5 to 10 years or till
they come out of poverty. This can only be done through dedicated external facilitators
and internal animators such as community resource persons and community activists,
the strategy of which has been proved successful in every programme implemented by
IKP. Hence, a trained Community Activist, who is again from a PoP household, will take
the responsibility of continuously guiding 100 PoP households till the above objective is
achieved. These CAs will be provided external facilitation support from the community
resource persons (CRPs). The PoP community coordinators will nurture, train and guide
the work of the CAs and CRPs and ensure that the long term objective is achieved.
The arrangement is as follows:
Focused PoP livelihoods interventions will first happen in those Gram Panchayats
corresponding to 4024 villages where NPM is operational in 2009-10 and it will then
expand to another 3500 villages planned in 2010-11. These 7500 villages will fall in
1500 NPM clusters at the rate one cluster for every 5 villages.
The participatory identification of all PoP SC/ST families will be completed in the
first round and the remaining PoP families in the 2nd round in all villages. It will be
initially focused on the NPM villages of 2009/10 and later on 2010/11 villages.
Subsequently all villages in the state will be covered.
8

In addition to identification, the status report of each identified family and SHG
through a much comprehensive baseline survey.
PoP C.C will be accountable for IB, NREGS and NPM for identified SC/ST
households in all the NPM clusters of his/her mandal. PoP C.C will be strictly
accountable for income enhancement of these SC/ST households.
The Community Activists, at the rate of one per 100 households, will be accountable
for IB, NREGS and NPM.
Until every PoP HH gets an additional income of Rs.60000, the household focus will
be continued.
The major steps involved in the implementation of PoP strategy is as mentioned in
the figure below.

on-Negotiables in PoP Strategy

i.

No single eligible SC/ST Household and most vulnerable HH shall be left out
in the village.

ii.
iii.

All identified and eligible PoP HHs shall be brought into SHG fold
All identified PoP wage seeking HHs shall access minimum 100 days of wage

3 GEOGRAPHICAL FOCUS AND EXPANSION PLAN

The PoP strategy will be implemented in all mandals in the state in a phased manner.
During 2009-10, the 304 mandals where Community Managed Sustainable
Agriculture (CMSA) initiative is being implemented by IKP. Focused PoP livelihoods
interventions will first happen in the 4024 villages where NPM is operational in 200910 and it will then expand to another 3500 villages planned in 2010-11 covering a total
of 480 mandals. These 7500 villages will fall in 1500 NPM clusters at the rate one
cluster for every 5 villages.
The expansion plan for PoP Strategy is as follows:
a) In 2010/11 will be present in 75% Area Coordinators clusters
b) By 2011/12 present in every mandal at least 1 NPM cluster of 5 villages.
c) 2011 2015 cover balance Gram panchayats / villages each year. In the first
year of reaching out to a village, start with the identified PoP, SC/ST families.
d) By 2014/15 reach every village in the state. In 2 years of entering a village all
PoP SC/ST families will adopt these practices.
e) By 2015/16 reach out to every PoP family in the state
f) By 2017/18 the last batch of PoP families ( covered in 2015/16) achieves
livelihoods security through agriculture and livestock intervention
g) Detailed expansion plan is depicted in the figure below in three phases.

4 IDENTIFICATION OF POP HOUSEHOLDS

4.1 Defining PoP
During the PIP exercise, which was done about 7 years back, such persons
and families were identified who are kept away from society or being a part of
society are forced to face discrimination and are not able to access basic
necessities. And those who are marginalized from society, persons who are
suffering from AIDS, HIV and other terminal diseases, persons suffering from
leprosy and nomadic people. Information was also gathered on child labourers,
widows, single women, persons without guardians, the disabled, Joginis,
Basivinis and Matangis, traditional folk artists and their families, sex workers,
bonded labourers, homeless, beggars, migrants, old people etc.
In the PIP Document, the PoP were defined as those who depend on
agricultural work, house work, labourers, those who migrate for 3-4 months,
daily wage earners for food, people without property, those who always depend
upon others, hutment dwellers, those who go to government hospitals when ill
etc.
In PoP Strategy during the first round, all SC/ST households except those
employed in Govt. service, will be taken up and households belonging to the
most vulnerable sections- will be taken up in second round. The identification of
PoP households will be done jointly by the CRPs and the VOs. The EGS CRPs 1 will
be deployed to the Gram Panchayats where 4000 NPM operational villages are
situated for identification of SC/ST households in the village with assistance from
the VOs.

4.2 Roles and Responsibilities of CRPs during the field work

Identification of poorest of the poor households along with VO in the allotted

villages
Identification of Community Activist for 100 PoP households or for a
habitation along with VO with the consent of PoP families.
Submitting the final list of PoP HHs as per the household schedule

4.3 Process of Identifying PoP HH

4.3.1 Guiding Documents
Before going to the allotted village for identification PoP HH, the concerned PoP CC
will obtain and hand over to the CRP teams the following documents.

PIP data from MMS / VO

SHG member data from MMS/Web
Ration cardholders list from MRO office
NREGS Wage Seekers list from MCC

EGS CRPs are those who worked for IKP EGS convergence in which they had gained hands on experience in
identifying PoP households

11

A consolidated list of SC/ST PoP HHs will be prepared by CRPs from the above
documents.
4.3.2 VO meeting
On arrival of CRPs in the villages, the concerned VO will organize VO Meeting in
which the PoP strategy will be discussed. At the same time the concerned PRI
representatives also will be informed on the purpose of CRPs visit.
4.3.3 Door to Door Survey
CRP team will then carry out a door to door survey as per the prescribed format
enclosed in the Annexure D. Once entire village is covered with NONE of the PoP
household is left out, then they will finalize the list of SC/ST PoP households along
with VO.
4.3.4 Finalization of PoP list
Finalized list of PoP HHs will be declared in the VO Meeting in the presence of PRI
representatives. The necessary resolutions will be accordingly made. The CRPs will
then firm up the household schedules for the finalized PoP households.
4.3.5 Computerization
On receiving the lists of PoP households and also the household schedules
from the VOs, the CC will verify the same and get them entered in the prescribed
software.

4.3.6 Monitoring of PoP Identification process

The following mandal level functionaries will be available to guide and hand hold
the CRPs during the PoP identification process.

Community Coordinator
Paralegal
Community Surveyor
MTC / MBK (EGS)

5 KEY COMPONENTS OF THE STRATEGY (MULTIPLE

DIMENSIONS)
5.1 INSTITUTION BUILDING:
The core focus of PoP Strategy is on upbringing of each individual household out of
poverty. The Community based organisations are the vehicles to taken these households
from below poverty to above poverty level. This is invariably required for ensuring
sustainability of the programme in the long-term. Hence the proposed PoP strategy will
include the IB components whose major activities are as follows.

Organizing all eligible PoP Households into Groups, if they are not already in
Groups
Reviving defunct PoP groups, if there are any
Redefining the Panchasutras for PoP Groups, keeping in view their inability to
follow the existing norms.
Care will be taken to ensure that all Books of the SHGs to which PoP
households are linked are updated
Categorisation of SHGs into PoP / Poor
o The SHGs to which PoP HHs linked will be categorised into PoP SHGs
(all are having PoP HH), mixed SHGs (having other than PoP HHs)
o All Technical and Financial support will be provided to a PoP SHG
whereas technical support will be provided to a mixed SHG

5.1.1 VO RT CRPs
In addition, the existing VORT CRPs2 will be re-deployed to each of these PoP
Mandals to focus on the identified PoP households. The VO RT strategy will be
expanded to cover the all PoP mandals by positioning new teams in these mandals. The
major expected outcomes from VORT CRP Strategy are
Organizing all the left over POP and Poor

Revival of dormant and defunct groups

SHGs switching over to regular meetings, regular savings and internal lending

Regular Bookkeeping by SHGs adopted

Trained Bookkeepers available for all SHGs as per need

SHGs preparing MCPs and ToPs for livelihoods

VO adopting monthly meeting system and meeting process with norms and
Bookkeeping

SHGs and VO adopting social agenda in their meetings

VO Resource Teams are meant for strengthening the IB activities happening in a mandal with SHG focus.

13

5.1.2 Senior CRP Strategy:

a. Objective of Sr. CRP
The support of Senior CRP teams will also be provided at the rate 3 PoP
mandals per team. They will focus on IB strengthening at VO level and
mandal level

Facilitating to adopt the best practices of MS meeting process

Facilitate to conduct MS-meetings with members full participation and

decision making by the MS RGB

Adopting MS-level operational and financial management norms to achieve

self-management and self-reliance

MS to act as a sensitive support organization for VOs & SHGs

Creating 4 to 5 resource VOs in a mandal for replicating best practices in

other VOs.

b. Senior CRPs action plan:

First three (3) rounds the team will work on standard MS-seating
arrangement, agenda preparation, meeting norms and meeting process
Fourth and fifth round the team will work on review of VOs through
Masanivekas, performance review of staff and action plans
Sixth and seventh round the team will work on CIF management, recovery
and re-cycling process, record keeping, MCP process etc
Eighth and ninth round the team will work on identifying resource VOs and
strengthening through capacity building.
Tenth and Eleventh round the team will work on MS-level functional
committees, their role & responsibilities and reporting mechanism.
Twelfth round the team will work on creation of internal Sr,CRPs, capacity
building and tying them up for other mandals of the district.
During the team visit:
a) on the first day, the team will attend the scheduled MS-meeting and
facilitate the meeting process
b) on the second day, the team will give intensive training to MS-EC as
per the plan.
c) on the third day, the team will visit one VO covered under CRP
strategy and give necessary training
d) After completion on mandal the team will go to other mandal
e) After completion of 12 days work the team will give feedback to PD,
DRDA

14

5.2 CREDIT LINKAGE

As credit is basic for strengthening any livelihood based activity, it will be
ensured that every PoP household achieves minimum level of credit linkage for
carrying out the plan as prescribed in the PoP MCP.

Micro credit plans will be prepared for every PoP household according to their
need and available skills. For preparation of MCPs, support of VO RT CRPs
will be utilized and the skills will be imparted to the Community activists. PoP
MCP is given in Annexure.
SCSP/ TSP funds under SGSY: The 50% of total amount allotted for centrally
sponsored scheme of SGSY is earmarked amount for SCs and STs.
Each PoP SHG will attain the bank linkage according to its eligibility.
In addition, the TFI CRP teams in these PoP Mandals will focus on linking the
PoP Groups to banks as per MCP
The PoP fund at the rate of Rs.5 lakh per mandal will be made available
established for each PoP mandal. This fund will be granted to MMS for
releasing it in-turn as a loan to PoP households.
The recycled CIF fund and MMS/VO owned funds will primarily be dedicated
for the identified PoP households.

5.3 NREGS

The PoP labourer households will be formed into Fixed Labour Groups
according to the SHGs they belong to. This is implemented for all SC/ST
SGHs based on the G.O 339. In this context, one CA taking care of 100
households will have FLGs as many number of SC/ST SHGs.
Each FLG will have a working Mate. CA will be playing a co-ordination role by
providing awareness on rights and entitlements to PoP HH through these
working mates
The FLGs will be facilitated to apply for work for atleast 100 days in a
financial year. NREGS implementation department will ensure that atleast
two lakh worth works are allotted to each of these groups from the shelf so
that each of these households will be provided 100 days.
Priority will be given to those works that focuses on improving the lands
owned by PoP Households. In case there are no lands for development, the
groups shall identify such works which may help them to enhance their
livelihoods.
In addition, wherever NREGS RSA is implemented as per GO 392 in these
PoP mandals, the dry and barren lands of PoP household will be brought
under cultivation by adopting the practices of Rain-fed Sustainable
Agriculture
A Separate web-based monitoring will be made available for tracking the PoP
household in their access to NREGS.

15

5.4 CMSA
CMSA started with non chemical pesticide management of agriculture as the
first intervention. The programme components were deepened gradually to include
soil fertility management with local natural resources. The idea was to eventually
eliminate the use of chemical fertilizers. The movement towards zero fertilisers is
gradual so as not to affect the production of foodgrains or per acre yields of
foodgrains. The other deepening attempted was community managed seed banks to
ensure seed sovereignty of the farmers. Some of the star practices of CMSA that will
be promoted to the PoP households are
Access to 0.25 to 0.50 acres of wet land (own or on lease), and, 0.75 to 1.00
acres of dry land ( own or assigned land) will be ensured.
These lands will be developed and cultivated through CMSA methods zero
pesticide, zero chemical fertilisers, drought proofing, micro irrigation,
horticulture, fodder crops, zero tillage, etc
Facilitation for adopting SRI (System of Rice Intensification) in atleast 0.25
Acres and poly crop models of vegetable cultivation in another 0.25 Acres
land
Promoting 36X36 models in POP house holds in the backyard of their houses.
In addition to meeting the nutrition requirement of the family, the surplus
produce will be made available market for enhancing their operational
income.
Promoting NADEP compost pits, an alternate method of composting with less
requirement of dung.

5.5 Dairy
Dairy or livestock activities are carried out by the PoP household next to
Agriculture. Integrated farming practices will certainly ensure increased incomes
with reduced expenses. In addition to expanding the livelihood options, dairy will be
complementary activity to many of the methods of CMSA.
Depending on the PoP MCPs, the livestock requirement of the PoP household
will be met through credit linkage from banks or exclusive CIF or funds from
SCSP/TSP
The surplus milk produce with a PoP household will be marketed through the
dairy units that are existing already in these mandals.
Gradually the BMCUs will be expanded to all of the PoP mandals

16

5.6 Collective Marketing:

The Collective Marketing is facilitated to enable the rural poor to identify all
available possible resources primarily Forest produce, Agricultural Commodities and
all traditional livelihoods practiced in the villages with an objective to improve the
quality of life. Various strategies adopted here are

Direct Marketing
MSP operations
Agriculture Inputs
NPM / CMSA base

5.7 Jobs / Skill based

Employment for the rural educated youth in organised sector is being
provided by EGMM (Employment Generated and monitoring mission), a separate
body working exclusively for this purpose. In case, a PoP household is having a son
or daughter who has completed matriculation but remain unemployed, steps will be
taken to ensure that they are imparted the proper training and the subsequent
employment in the organised sectors.
Further, depending upon the skills acquired by the members of PoP family,
the livelihood options will be adopted and the same will be reflected in the MCPs.

17

6 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT
6.1 CBO level:
The PoP Strategy will be implemented
within the purview of existing structure
under both community and supporting
staff. Changes will be incorporated only in
the skills requirement and with the
associated tools. In each level of the
federations, an exclusive sub-committee
for monitoring the progress of PoP families
will be constituted. The foremost
responsibility of these members is to
ensure that the progress of these families is
upto the mark on all dimensions. In case of
any deviations, they need to take up the
corrective measures accordingly.

9 ROLE OF CBOs (OPERATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY)

If any strategy pushed from top of the pyramid, it may not work well at the
bottom. As the PoP strategy itself is the felt need from the grass-root level, the role
of Community Based organisations is crucial in sustaining the programme over a
period of time.
The women SHG movement in Andhra Pradesh has fared well in all spheres from
economic empowerment to social empowerment. However there are certain class of
people who are still struggling with poverty. In order to bring them alongwith mainstream SHG movement, an exclusive setup like PoP strategy is required.
All the Office Bearers of Zilla Samakhyas, Mandal Samakhyas and Village
Organisations will be oriented towards upliftment of PoP households through
separate PoP sub-committees formed at each tier. Later they need to monitor the
progress made by each of their PoP households in different aspects with the
available systems put in place. They should be ready to take any corrective measures
required in order to get a family out of poverty.
PoP Sub-committees at MMS and VOs need to monitor and guide

Selection of CAs for a group of 100 households or a habitation

Periodical Review of CAs in various components
Periodical review of PoP households wrt. CA
Payment of working CAs and assessing their performance

Similarly they need to monitor and guide

10EXPECTED OUTCOMES AND MEASUREMENT

10.1 General

List of PoP households in any gram panchayat will be made available in all
PoP mandals
Baseline information of each PoP household on assets owned, skills and
liabilities will be made available with an interactive software
Every PoP household can be tracked on the parameters like credit linkages,
assetization, wage employment from NREGS and the performance of their
institutions
The progress made by each household on income enhancement can be
tracked. Over a 3 year period of time, additional income of INR 60000 will
be earned by each PoP family
Relevant government schemes like SGSY, SSP linked to the identified PoP
households who cannot be served by SHG coverage.

10.2 IB / Credit linkage

All eligible PoP households are brought under SHG network

All PoP groups improved at least one grade than their present status.
Appropriate MCPs are prepared for each PoP household based on their
needs and skills
All PoP groups of 6 months old and above are linked to Banks.
All PoP households accessed a loan of minimum Rs.5000 in the 1st linkage,
Rs.10,000 in the 2nd linkage, Rs.20,000 in the 3rd linkage and above and
Rs. 40,000 under TFI.

10.3 NREGS

All the PoP households willing to do unskilled manual labour accessed 100
days of wage employment thereby receiving an income of Rs.10000 per
annum
All lands belonging to the PoP households are taken up for development till
saturation point.
All PoP households understand their Rights and Entitlements under the
NREGA

26

10.4 CMSA

Reduced cost of cultivation due to lower expenses on account of reduced or

no usage of chemical pesticides and fertilizers
Improved incomes on account of marketing premiums due to high quality
and taste, and lesser spoilage of crop.
Achieving self reliance and self sufficiency in food production at
community level.
CMSA ensures year round food security.
Crop diversity and multi-tiered cropping systems ensures nutritional
security to farm families
Once CMSA is established in owned or leased lands of PoP HHs, they should
have earned an additional income ranging from Rs.25000 to Rs.40000 per
annum.
Due to efforts of collective marketing, a PoP HH should gain the premiums
ranging from Rs.5000 to 10000 per annum.

27

11PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Performance of the programme intervention will be measured in terms of the
components that each PoP household is able to access or achieve. During the first
year of operation, the performance indicators for the perceived three major
components IB, EGS and Credit linkage are mentioned in the table below. Based on
these parameters, both implementation team and the community institutions will be
assessed on a weekly basis. These components will be added on to the list as the
strategy evolves itself into consecutive years focusing at the need of a PoP household.

12PILOT ON POP STRATEGY

As the strategy involves identification of the PoP households in 480 mandals
through CRPs, positioning an exclusive facilitator (CA or community activist) for a
group of households, continuous hand holding them, forming these households into
fixed labour groups with working mates etc. it was decided to pilot this initiative in
one mandal before scaling it up. The PoP strategy is being field tested in Marpalle
Mandal of Ranga Reddy district. The scope of activities envisaged under the pilot is
as mentioned below.

12.1 Identification and training of CRPs on PoP strategy:

A CRP team alongwith a PoP CC or MTC/Community Surveyor was sent to
each of the 19 Gram Panchayats of Marpalle mandal. The mandal has 11 PoP CCs,
7 EGS MTC/MBKs and 7 Community surveyors. Before going to the field, a two
days basic training on PoP strategy was given to the CRPs and the staff involved.
The CRPs had identified PoP households in the allotted GP and the exclusive
facilitators ie., Community activists during the field work ranging from 7 to 10
days.

12.2 Identification of PoP HH:

In the pilot, initial focus was on households belonging to SC/ST community
except those households with employment in Government/private entities. In
addition, some of the most vulnerable groups like households with disabled as
head of the family and having no stable sources of income, single women and
woman headed families who are dependent on daily wage labour and destitutes
like old aged people were identified. These households were categorized duly as
those who are in SHGs, not covered in SHGs but eligible, not fit for SHG fold, and
working under EGS.

12.3 Identification /Training of CAs:

A community activist was identified for every 100 PoP households or for any
distant habitation. Primarily, the CA was female literate chosen from the
identified households living in the same village. In total, 54 CAs were identified in
19 GPs. The identified CAs were imparted training on PoP strategy and Baseline
survey. Initially, the focus was on orientating these CAs towards handholding PoP
households and data collection for Baseline Survey. Trainings on SHG concept,
book keeping were also provided to them through the Mandal team. Some
observations are listed below.

Each CA has PoP households ranging from 32 to 142 HHs depending on

habitations/ Thandas
More CAs are from the age group of 20-25 instead of 25-45

29

CAs are selected with even less than 10 th standard qualification and there are
some illiterates too. This led to induction of men as CAs but later it was
revised restricting to females with their family members assisting them
initially.
Non members of SHGs or those with little SHGs experience or even
unmarried also turned out as CAs.
As far as Honorarium is concerned, CAs were classified into two categories
with one below Fifty families and other above Fifty families. The figure given
below depicts the no. of CAs for a range of PoP HHs.

12.4 Collection of Baseline data:

Community
Activists

Baseline of each identified PoP household was collected by the community activist.
For this, the support of the PoP CCs of the district was taken. The baseline data was
primarily covering the details of PoP family, SHG bank linkage, assets and
liabilities, nature of labour etc.

13 TRACKING EVERY HOUSEHOLD THROUGH

DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS (RE-TOOLING)
As the focus here is on the household, the progress every household is making
in its journey towards povertylessness has to be tracked diligently. This can be done by
using IT application. The CRPs, after finalization of PoP households, will handover the
household schedules to PoP CC. These households schedules will consist of bare
minimum details such as the caste / sub caste , SHG details, Ration card ID, Job card
ID etc. These will be computerized and hosted on the website.
The second stage is a more detailed baseline survey, which will be done by the
CAs. The detailed survey sheet will have all the details pertaining to that household in
terms of outreach of both Govt. and IKP programmes to that household, credit linkages,
asset base, other social and human development indicators etc. This will again be
computerized and the report will be available on web. Keeping the base line data as the
back drop, the CAs will continue to update the household every month in respect of
progress in IB and Bank linkage aspects. The No. of wage days accessed by each
household under NREGA can be gathered by linking this data to NREGA website
through Job card Id. The strategy is supported by a Decision Support System (DSS)
software being developed Infosys technologies, Bangalore. Exclusive web-based
software will be made available for entering the initial data of identified PoP
households. Later the baseline data will be entered for the identified PoP households.
There will also be a provision for regular updation of the software online. The primary
screens of the software will be finalized based on the field data. Also the generation of
various MIS reports and DSS reports will be finalized based on the field level
observations.
The CC will see to that the households are updated in the software based on the
manual sheets handed over by the CAs every month and upload it to the web site. There
will be performance exception reports to see if any of the households is not able to make
progress as intended. Some of the decisions that are perceived at present are mentioned
below. The list will be furthered based on the field requirements and that of the
community.

14BASELINE INFORMATION OF A POP HOUSEHOLD

In order to track every PoP household, it is decided to have a detailed baseline survey of
that household covering various dimensions. The following major heads are covered
under baseline whereas detailed baseline is given in the Annexure B.
a) Attributes covering the family like Ration card, Job card, SHG related
This information will be useful in linking the software with the already
existing databases like Abhayahastham, NREGS dynamically
b) Details of each family member including their occupation, education,
disability, pension, and insurance
c) Details of SHG member including savings, various loans taken and their
usages
d) Details of land owned / leased by the family
e) Details of different crops cultivated with their annual yield, expenses and net
income
f) Details of assets owned by the family and also basic amenities accessed by it
g) Details of livestock with annual income and expenses
h) Details of loans taken by the families from sources other than SHGs
i) Details of migration of family members
Thus collected baseline will be updated periodically with the CA playing the vital role.
This will be the basis for the DSS to function effectively and get updated later.
