Theur Gram Panchayat And Village
As a part of field visits MPG-07 participants visited the Theur Gram panchayat on 21st
September 2011. The purpose was to understand the functioning of Gram Panchayat. The
village is situated in Haveli Taluka of
Pune District. It is 25 kms away from
Pune. Sugarcane is cultivated on a
large scale in Theur. It is also the
abode of one of the Ashtavinayak
temples in Maharashtra. The
presiding deity is known as
Chintamani.
Theur village is like mini India,
people of different religion live here. Gosavi community which is considered as most
backward tribe lives here in considerable numbers. Earlier Muslim community was absent in
the village. Now there are around 5oo people of the community who migrated to this village
as the labour are the part of mainstream of the village.
Because of its proximity to Pune there are some industrial and commercial units established
here. Yashwant Cooperative Sugar Mill is one of the major sources of employment for the
people. Also, MSEB electricity sub-station, Poonawala stud farm, D. Y. Patil farms
contributes major part of the total revenue that Gram Panchayat collects. Most of the people
are farmers cultivating different crops like suger cane, grapes, etc. Now due to technological
growth farmers have established their biotech farms. Several green houses are situated in
Theur. One of the important sources of money for the farmers is dairy farming. Milk business
and poultry farm business
contributes to the prosperity of the
Theur people.
In this visit we interacted with the
Sarpanch, Gram Vikas Adhikari,
School staff, health officer and
beneficiaries of Indira Awas Yozna.
17
Visit to Gram Panchayat Office:-
We visited Gram Panchayat where Village Development Officer (Gram Vikas Adhikari) Mr.
Sampat Kharpude who is working at Theur village since last six years briefed us about his
role and the structure of Gram Panchayat.
Village administration is governed by the Bombay village Panchayat Act 1958. Constitution
73th amendment envisages the Gram Sabha as the foundation of Panchayat Raj system.
We learnt through the interaction
that if the population of the villlage
is below 3000, Gram Sevak is
recruited by government and if the
population of the village is more
than 3000 to 10,000 Gram Vikas
Adhikari is recruited. If the annual
revenue of a Gram Panchayat
exceeds Rs. 25,000 then Gram
Panchayat should have 7 to 17 representatives. Quorum for General Gram Sabha meeting is
fixed wherein 15% of voters out of the voting list should be present for general gram Sabha
and it is mandatory to conduct the meeting of women‟s Gram Sabha before each general
Gram Sabha meeting. Even if one woman is present the meeting would be deemed as held as
no quorum is needed for this meeting. In the month of April/May the 1st Gram Sabha is
conducted and its chairman is „Sarpanch‟ but for next Gram Sabha Chairman is decided by
the members of Sabhas.
The other important learning outcome-
73 rd Amendment provides for joint liability of both the Gram Vikas Adhikari and Sarpanch.
If corruption or misuse of funds is there both are responsible. If Sarpanch does not conduct
the Gram Sabha or act against the interest of Gram Panchayat then he can be dismissed by no
confidence motion of 2/3 of members of Panchayat.
As stated by Mr. Sampat Kharpude, the duties of Gram Vikas Adhikari are:
1. Collection of tax from villagers
2. Ensuring clean water supply.
3. Ensuring proper health sanitation
4. To implement the schemes of government in village
5. Giving confidential information to CEO about irregularities by Sarpanch
6. To prepare voters list of villagers
18
Interaction with Sarpanch, Mr. T. S. Kale:-
The population of Theur village is around 15,000. Earlier Mr. Tatya Saheb Ramchandra Kale
was Dy. Sarpanch for two terms and after that he became the Sarpanch. He gave us
information about what he has done for the village as a Sarpanch and his future plans to
develop village further.
He mentioned that during his tenure he was successful to collect more than 70% of tax from
villagers because of which various government schemes could be implemented in the village.
He has also established credit cooperative society due to which private money lending
problem has reduced.
Sarpanch has worked for the development of village by providing clean drinking water,
primary health care centers, infrastructure development, and implementation of various
government schemes. The implementation of central govt. schemes like Indira Awas Yojana
has been implemented properly. The village Theur has 64% literacy. Male female sex ratio in
the village is 1000:872.
Visit to Primary School:-
There are six primary schools in Theur village. There is Zilla Parishad Primary School (std 1
to 4) in the village which we visited. Total number of students in the whole school is 488 and
total number of teachers is 13. All the teachers are well qualified. One of the male teachers
has also received “Ideal Teacher Award “at the hands of President of India. Teacher student
ratio is 1:42. Almost 90% of students are from SC/ST and OBC category and only 10% of
students are from general category.
One of the teacher briefed us
about the school,
implementation of government
scheme „Sarva Siksha
Abhiyan” and about the
students.
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan:-
Government scheme “Sarva
Shiksha Abhiyan” is well
implemented in the school.
Under this scheme free books and uniforms have been given to all the students. Earlier free
books were given only to students from SC and ST category but now these are given to all the
students and some NGOs also provide some books and stationary to students.
19
Another scheme called “Mid-day Meal” in which free meal is provided to all the students in
the school. Under this scheme government provides rice, oil, pulses etc. Meal is cooked in the
school and checked by the teacher first before giving it to the students. According to the
teachers, under this scheme, enrolment of the students has increased and attendance has
increased. Most of the students belong to poor family where parents are not even able to
provide food to their children. Under this scheme they get one time meal so parents don‟t
have to worry about the food. SC/ST students have also been given Rs. 1 stipend everyday
apart from free meals.
Students come from the different background like Gosvi, Bhill and other backward
communities. They speak different languages at home. So it becomes difficult for the teacher
to teach them in Marathi Language. Under “Sarva Sikhsha Abhiyan” teachers are encouraged
to teach students adopting innovative ways and for that they have been given Rs. 500 each
annually for preparation of study tools.
Teachers have prepared charts and wallpapers through which students can understand various
subjects more easily.
Under this scheme government also provides funds for the maintenance of the building,
sanitation facility for girls and boys and hygienic water facility. Building of the school was
maintained properly. There is no separate toilet facility for girls and boys, which they are
going to do in near future. One of the teacher also mentioned that water facility is there but it
is not filtered water so they are going to put water purifier in the school.
Another initiative taken by the school is “Chavdi Vachan” (Public reading) under which
students have been given extra time by the teachers who need more attention. Every
Wednesday Chavdi Vachan is kept in the school where parents of the students and also other
villagers can come and evaluate the performance of the students.
Regular surveys are being done by government to see the results of the schemes implemented.
Teachers have to send reports about the increase or decrease in the number of students twice
in a year.
As per the norms SSA Gram Panchayat has to form people management committee which is a
subcommittee of the Gram Sabha. Principal is the ex-officio chairman of this committee and
other members have been selected by the Gram Sabha. Committee‟s main function is to see
proper maintenance of the infrastructure, sanitation, progress of the students and water
facility.
School has also taken another initiative from last year in which all the student‟s hair cutting
was done by the use of Public fund.
20
School principal mentioned regarding the need of the computer so their students don‟t lag
behind. They are in talks with a company who is going to donate computers to the school.
Students also participate in extra-curricular activities like dance, drama, physical exercise and
various outdoor games like kho-kho, kabaddi.

of the role of various stake holders and the challenges faced by them.
23
Shrigonda Panchayat Samiti Visit
Participants of MPG 07 visited Shrigonda Panchayat Samiti on 18 November 2011.
Meeting with Tribal Minister:
Mr. Bavan Tribal Minister of
Maharashtra spent some time
with participants and told about
his journey into politics. How
he started his career as activist
in the party and made his mark
up to the level of tribal minister.
He pointed out that one should
never forget his base and always stay connected with people at grass root level.
Meeting with Chairman of Krushi Samiti :
Agriculture produce means all produce (whether processed or not) of agriculture, horticulture,
animal husbandry, pisciculture and forests as specified in the schedule. The APMCs were
established by the State Govt. for regulating the marketing of different kinds of agriculture
and pisciculture produce for the same market area or any part thereof.
The Maharashtra Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act was passed in the year
1963, with a view to regulate the marketing of agricultural and pisciculture produce in market
areas, some important changes have been made in this Act in the year 1987 and thereafter.
The Act provides for establishment of Market Committees in the State. These Market
Committees are engaged in development of market yards for the benefit of agriculturists and
the buyers.
24
Hivare Bazar- Role Model For Rural India
The visit to Hivare Bazar by MPG-07 batch was insightful and a great learning experience.
The village with a population of 1350 and per capita income of Rs. 28,000 is a role model in
true sense to be followed
by the rest of rural India.
The holistic approach
towards the development is
most peculiar feature of
this village. The
development in Hivare
Bazar is not only about
economic prosperity but it
includes women
empowerment, social auditing, and peoples‟ participation through Shramdaan. Mr Popatrao
Pawar told a very interesting fact that if Government is giving hundred rupees to spend the
village spends hundred and twenty rupees. This is a major reason for the successful
implementation of all the schemes of state and central government. There is no financial
leakage and siphoning off of money.
The participants learnt that social auditing is essential for monitoring and regulation of all
kinds of public policies. Therefore, the Grgam Panchayat of Hivare Bazar is called the „Gram
Sansad‟.
25
YASHADA
Yashwantrao Chavan Academy of Development Administration (YASHADA) is the
Administrative Training Institute of the Government of Maharashtra. This is apex training
amongst all administrative training institutes in India which provides more than one thousand
training programs for people from different walks of life.
Human Resource Development has traditionally been one of Maharashtra's major strengths.
The importance of evolving sound and responsive administrative systems was realized back
on 1963 when the Administrative Staff College (ASC) was established in Mumbai. The ASC
was relocated at Pune in 1984 and renamed "Maharashtra Institute of Development
Administration" (MIDA). MIDA, constituted as an autonomous society under the Societies
Registrations Act, 1860, was to serve as the apex body for promoting and developing modern
management practices and was to function as the nodal state level training institute in the field
of development administration. Aptly enough, it was renamed, "Yashwantrao Chavan
Academy of Development Administration" (YASHADA) in 1990, as a tribute to the
pioneering spirit of the late Mr. Y. B. Chavan, former Chief Minister of Maharashtra &
Deputy Prime Minister of India, who had inspired the setting up of the ASC .
YASHADA‟s emphasis is to impart training to stakeholders in development administration,
public administrators, managers of PSUs, officials and non-officials in local government
bodies, people‟s representatives, and communities based organizations and NGOs. Training
inputs are regularly updated through applied research, practical knowledge, appropriated
technology, consultancy assignments and innovative training, which enable the support of
experience to the parcipants. Even its acronym also stands for „provider of success‟.
YASHADA is re-certified for ISO 9001:2008 in September 2011 for design organization,
conduct of training, research, and documentation activities to support development
administration.
After travelling just 15 minutes from our institute we reached a very decorated and tightly
secured place called YASHADA, which is an extended premises of Raj Bhavan. Mr. Mander
Kelker, a senior faculty in YASHDA was right there to receive MIT-SOG students with
humble gesture and to explain about the apex institute‟s mission, vision and aim in near
future. He led us to all parts of the institute including am phi theatre, class rooms, activity
Centre and offices and also explained us how the institute got ISO- 9000 accreditation for its
quality service within administrative framework. It has got a bona fide library for those who
join the institute as an aspirant, outsiders within the vicinity of pune city also eligible to get
26
into that treasure trove through proper procedures. The annals consists of more than 50,000
books
The Institute Provides
The centre for disaster management
The center for human development
The centre for poverty alleviation, social justice, public administration and media
The institute presently running courses of advanced management like PGDUM i.e. post
graduate diploma in urban management. The state government providing monetary support of
worth Rs. 8 crores per annum. Apart from govt assistance the institute is capable of earning
30-32 crores from an assortment of activities. Funds also come from international
organizations like UNICEF, UNDP etc.
The basic aim of the institute is to build people centric administrative machinery, such as how
rain water can be used for harvesting is also trained by the concerned institute.
Sharing experience with IAS Mr. Nitin Khade:-
A man with impressive personality started his career seven years back in a remote island
called Majuli in Assam as SDM where he dealt with various adverse situation, he took
several initiatives to improve the living standard of migrant labor family from Bangladesh
specially among children, pregnant women and destitute. It was really an alluring grass-route
level work and ascendancy which brought drastic changes as per the general health of rural
women and children are concerned and in the field of primary education along with meal for
both the time of a day. During his tenure he also took care of maternal health and proper and
timely vaccination for women with the help of well-known organization called ASHA. In his
elaborated speech he explained the importance of self-help group, which worked a lot to
create self-reliance group among villagers mostly women were targeted to build up different
groups among themselves so that they can also contribute towards the trajectory of sustainable
development. Government took active part in it through aid of assistance, provided proper
guideline for manufacturing of low cost consumer durables with proper marketing and
branding policies.
RTE ….It‟s an initiative in use help to children for better education and career guidance. It is
endowed with varied skill orientation program to help the student to focus on their career
undisturbed through yoga, different personality enhancing curriculum and through performing
culture activities. In near future 50000 to 52000 children who are mostly affected through
migration will come under that government initiative.
27
AYURMANGALAM HEALTH SCHEME:-
The district Beed is known for its large amount of migrating sugarcane cutting labor. Once a
case of polio was detected in that region, in spite of conducting by yearly polio vaccination
campaign. To get out of that unwanted circumstances another 8 crore was sanctioned on
institute‟s behalf to vaccinate the entire region
HOW THE SCHEME WORKED:-
It is a health scheme launched in Beed district for migrant sugarcane cutting laborers. The
targeted population was provided with pre-migration health camp along with a health card for
every individual. The physical conditions of those migrants were monitored extensively
throughout the seven regions. Seven doctors were been deployed in seven region to keep on
watching whether the scheme is meeting the urgent needs of targeted population. The
pregnant women and children under five years were given special attention under this scheme
Vaccination programs like polio, T T and minor surgical procedure were implemented
systematically. Amidst the shortage of money around nine crores were sanctioned by state
government to feed fifty-two thousand children thrice a day. And another twenty-four crores
were allotted for the construction of seasonal hostels for the children of migrant laborers.
After the completion of Mr. Khade‟s interaction with us, we were been introduced with Mr.
Sumedh Gujar, a high official of YASHADA. Due to shortage of time he delivered dumpy but
very useful words regarding the functioning of NGOs. Participants of MPG who are looking
forward either to start up their career with NGOs or thinking of propounding NGOs were the
real beneficiary.
CONCLUSIONS:-
It was altogether a fastidious visit to state administrative power house. We were been given an
opportunity to meet with some of the top class government servants, enquired a lot to alleviate
the lop-sidedness of our information. Finally we would like to convey our gratitude to our
respected faculty for arranging such a constructive visit so that our primary understanding
about administrative works of government get cleared.
