What steps of government can change the life of a village?
Answers
Answer:
The rural economy
This can be done by setting up units in food processing, dairy, poultry and fisheries. Acold chain will preserve perishables and increase farm incomes. Units for bio-energy, garments, footwear and souvenirs can be set up in barren lands near villages.

Steps to become an ‘Adarsh Gram’
Though each village will have its topical solution, the following points are essential:
Identify people’s needs and priorities
Define activities that can mobilize the complete community
Use resources from running government schemes
Repair and renovate existing infrastructure
Strengthen the Gram Panchayat
Promote transparency and accountability
Interesting features of the scheme
Nearly 2370 ‘Adarsh Grams’ will be created by 2019: One Adarsh Gram to be selected and developed by 2016 and then two more by March 2019, followed by selecting and developing five Adarsh Grams (one per year) by 2024.
Resource mapping: Even as a Village Development Plan is to be prepared for every identified Gram Panchayat, an important component is the local resource map. It is to be created by the locals and will mark the natural and physical resources existing and available at the village level itself. This should help the community to realise its assets and then work forward from there. From the water perspective also, this will be essential as it will clearly show the current status of water bodies, slope of the land, and help delineate the micro-watersheds. The data collected will be captured on a GIS platform and will serve as an added bonus.
Funds from existing schemes: Even as the MPs are the pivot for the SAGY, no new funds have been allocated for this. It will converge as much as possible resources from the central sector, centrally sponsored schemes and also other State schemes. Some of the existing schemes expected to facilitate this aim are MGNREGA, Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, MPLADS, IWMP, National Rural Drinking Water Programme, MNRE, Schemes of Ministry of Agriculture.
SAGY on the ‘Water & Sanitation’ front
The aim of SAGY is to develop a village along the principles of watershed management through:
the scientific and participatory assessment of the health of the watershed to provide drinking water, preferably treated piped water with household taps;
to conduct surveys to identify existing and potential sources of drinking water in order to prepare a village water security plan;
to encourage rainwater harvesting as a traditional practice by integrating rooftop rainwater harvesting into toilet units and reviving traditional structures;
to ensure ‘Clean Villages' by better access to sanitation through household toilets, toilets in public institutions, IEC initiative and solid and liquid waste management.
Several villages in India have already accomplished these aims using water as the entry point. How did they achieve water security while simultaneously building the skills of the youth and helping improve governance? Can these villages serve as a model for the Yojana?
