Title The Impact of Integrated Rural Development Programme on Rural Life: A Micro Study
 
Creator Chaubey, Ashok Kumar
 
Subject 301 Sociology and Anthropology
 
Description The concept of rural development has undergone a considerable change over the last thirty years. In the first three Five Year Plans, there was much emphasis on increasing production, both in agricultural and industrial sectors, as a remedy to the problem of poverty and unemployment. During the fourth Five Year Plan, particularly after the submission of the report of the All India Credit Review Committee (1969), the approach has changed from that of 'production' to 'target' population. A deliberate attempt was made to tailor the programme in the field of rural development to suit the needs of the weaker sections. Special agencies, such as, Small Farmers' Development Agency (SFDA) and Marginal Farmers' and Agricultural Labourer Agency (MFAL), focussing attention on the small and marginal farmers and agricultural labourers were created in pursuance of implementation of the programme. But these agencies fixed the targets for various types of activities and assisted the beneficiaries only according to availability of funds. They lacked in systematic planning and assessment of the feasibility of the proposed schemes. Moreover, in most of the blocks there were more than one programme under implementation. This kind of multiplicity not only caused confusion and problems in management but also wastage of funds.
