INTRODUCTION The society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP) is implementing Indira Kranthi Patham (IKP) DPIP/APRPRP in all 34 mandals, covering 26 Plain and 8 Tribal Area mandals in Vizianagaram district. The Project is expanded to cover the entire district in four Phases. Participatory Identification of poor PROCESS OF PIP Identification of the poor through participatory methods is both highly efficient and is creditable by all concerned, for this purpose. This way, instead of just understanding the economic condition of the poor, the social and economically deprived would also be brought under consideration. The most important factor would be participation of the community in identification of poor. Participatory tools / methodologies like social mapping and well being analysis facilitated in the habitations to identify the target poor and poorest of the poor. The whole process had undertaken in the open public place involving all sections of the society in the village. RESULT OF PARTICIPATORY IDENTIFICATION OF THE POOR (PIP) THROUGH P.R.A.

FORMATION OF NEW SHGs and INSTITUTIONS OF POOR So far 3,47,124 households of POP & Poor have been organized into 25,659 SHGs. Indira Kranthi Padham believes in the fact that poor are willing to be organized and elimination of rural poverty is possible by strengthening these institutions of the poor. One of the most successful strategies by keeping this premise in mind that all the poor are organized in to groups (SHGs) which are federated in to Village Organisations at Village level and Mandal Samakhyas at Mandal level (which is the unit of administration in Government of Andhra Pradesh equallent to a mini block) and a District Federation Zilla Samakhya at District level. Skill and knowledge will be constantly imparted to these Organisations through trainings on different subjects to achieve self-reliance and self-sustenance to facilitate emergence of strong institutions of poor to champion the cause of the poor and constantly work with them spinning them out of poverty over a period of time. INSTITUTION BUILDING STRUCTURE : IB Strategy : 1. To ensure each VO to list out names of poor not yet organized along with their families socio economic conditions and including coverage as an important agenda points in VOs meetings. 2. Mandals through adopting of CRP strategy for seeding the best practices of the mature SHGs, VOs and MS using experiential learning methods. 3. Model Mandals adopting External CRP strategy for strengthening their institutions benefiting 50% of VOs and remaining 50% of VOs adopting by Internal CRP strategy.

4. Concurrent and statutory audit for all VOs, MSs and ZS and training to CBOs on analysis of audit reports through Financial Management and Audit CRPs strategy. 5. Training to all VO OB members and MS EC members on MACS Act-1995 through Registration CRPs. 6. To assess the institutional sustainability achieved by the all SHGs, VOs and MSs by generating various sources of income and formulate plans for developing them into self-reliant organizations. CRPs Strategy CRPs approach for strengthening of SHGs through External CRPs: This district adopted external CRPs strategies for social mobilization to revive defunct groups and strengthening of both new and existing groups. The Village organizations have involved themselves to take up these responsibilities. In Vizianagaram DPMU there are 5 AC clusters. 12 External CRP Teams each team consisting 2 Women Members, 1 Sr. Book keeper and one Animator are drawn from Kurnool to train the SHG groups in the district. One External CRP Team will work in one Model Mandal for 1 Year and will cover 50% VOs. The Team will work @ 15 Days per month. While the CRP Team is working in the village the CCs and the MBKs of the CC Clusters will stay with the team and get thorough immersion and exposure to all the IB, mf and CIF management processes of the project. COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND CIF provides resources to the poor communities for utilization of funds as a means to improve their livelihoods. This is one of the important components which supports communities to prioritise their livelihoods through LEAPS in the early stages and now through Micro Credit Plan (MCP) and allocates 50% of the funds to the Poorest of the Poor (POP). There are three types of sub projects.

Income Generation Activity (IGA). Social Development Activity (SDA). Infrastructure Activity (IA). The bulk of CIF budget is earmarked to the IGA and utmost care has been taken to ensure that atleast 50% of CIF shall go to SC and 10% to STs respectively. Similarly, it is applicable to CIF recovery also. Further, 10% is earmarked and priorities to DAPs. Basing on the Annual Work and Finance Plan the funds have been transferred to the Mandal Samakhyas w.e.f. 2005-06 on wards. Out of total IKP project budget, CIF is the most important component that determines the level of employment generation for the poor and POP. As per the MCPs, CIF sub projects have been sanctioned and grounded as indicated below. CIF YEAR WISE RELEASES YEAR SC ST BC OC TOTAL AMOUNT RELEASED Rs.

In DPMU, there has been substantial improvement in the recovery. Recovery % improved to 100%. CIF has played a remarkable role in various aspects of improving the livelihoods of the poor. Perhaps, without CIF the District Interventions like LIFE INSURANCE SCHEM, ANIMAL INSURANCE SCHEME, DISABILITY CERTIFICATION CAMPS, COMPREHENSIVE FOOD SECURITY would not have been possible.

TOTAL FINANCIAL INCLUSION The poor and the poorest of the poor in every village are identified under Indira Kranthi Padham (IKP) project through participatory methods by involving the poor themselves in the district. The required capacities are built up in SHGs and the concept of thrift and savings, around which the self help movement is built up, has resulted in corpus in crores. These funds are rotated among the members themselves and demonstrated good financial discipline in managing their economic operations. As a consequence of this, the bankers have come forward to finance these SHGs and the SHGs have been able to access. Through SHGs model, the poor have been able to access to bank finance and taking up small economic activities apart from fulfilling their social and health needs.

It represents 'a condition in which the probability of a country's citizens falling below a minimum level of food consumption for a healthy living Household Food Security is defined as the capacity of households to procure a stable and sustainable basket of adequate and nutritious food FOOD GAP The average requirement of rice for an Indian house-hold is 50-60 kg per month, taking into consideration the average size of the house-hold is 4.8. The availability of rice from the Public Distribution System (PDS) per family is 15-25 kg per month. For the balance rice or cereals the house-hold depends upon open market this is the food gap. Bringing this gap is the most important component of rural families budgeting activity in which the access to financial resources is the most important limiting factor which is linked to seasonality (as more than 80% of rural poor lives in villages with Agriculture as their major livelihood (as labourers) which again is at the mercy of vagaries of nature.

The purchase of the rice from the open market is subject to the following factors: The purchasing power/income of the house-hold, will always fluctuate and directly depends upon selling of his/her own labour and availability of work. The quality of the rice The rate Exploitation in wrong weighment as negotiating power of poor is almost nil. All the above factors result in either mal-nutrition or un-even nutrition causing the deprivation of continuous and sufficient flow of food to the poorer sections of the community. The deprivation of food is also not distributed among the members of the household evenly the children and the women are more deprived rather than the male members within the house-hold. ADDRESSING THE GAP Food Security intervention not only addresses the hunger gap in rural communities but also relieves the rural poor house wife from mental tension searching for next meal for her husband and children who always lulls in a uncertainty where it will be there or not. Through this scheme, the Village Organisations (VO) encourage Self Help Group (SHG) members to draw their full Public Distribution System (PDS) quota as per their entitlement and ensure that the members utilize this opportunity. For the balance, the VO estimate the bulk requirement of SHG members for rice and other essential commodities, negotiate and procure better quality commodities from the open market and supply to their members at a price lower than the retail outlets. OBJECTIVE Objective of the food security scheme is to ensure the poor family two square meals of food, including access to the rice taken from the Fair Price Shop under PDS. The rice issued under PDS will be sufficient for 10 days only to a poor family. The remaining 20 days requirement, the family generally purchases the rice from open market. This gap is assessed for every member. The requirement of other essential commodities are also assessed in addition to rice and added to the basket of adequate food. This member level requirement will be compiled at SHG level and requirement of all SHGs will consolidated at VO level.

BACKGROUND The Food Security Programme is a unique progamme started in the name of RICE CREDIT LINE in Vizianagaram District in the year 2001-02. The programme has been implemented in 12 Mandals in 1 st phase. A quantity of 2,500 MTs of rice taken from Civil Supplies department value of 1.55 Crores distributed to the Rural Poor People. Benefiting 23,355 families covered in 1,960 SHGs. The repayment of the rice is very satisfactory and led to the introduction of 2 nd phase in the year 2002-03 benefiting 81,272 families from 5,983 SHGs with 8,163 more MTs of Rice. The entire programme is organized through community and its organizations such as SHGs, VOs and MSs. Thus benefiting 1,04,627 families from 7,943 SHGs in 24 mandals of the district. The Scheme has generated tremendous demand and has provided the desired life line in terms of food security to the poor communities and emerged as major entry point activity for the World Bank sponsored District Poverty Initiatives Project (DPIP) in the district. After the termination of the RCL in the district the Community Based Organistiosn (ZS / MS / VO) have conducted sries of meetings which emerged the introduction of Comprehesive Food Security Scheme in 2004 Aug to begin with covering all the fishermen villages and tribal villages in the plain areas of the district with support from Community Investment Fund (CIF) of the project. This community-based food security scheme is facilitated by the field level project staff, but conceived, designed and implemented by the community-based Organisations i.e., SHGs, VOs and Mandal Samakhyas (MSs). There is no involvement of any department at any level in any decision of the community. IDENTIFICATION OF POOR & EMERGENCE OF INSTITUTIONS OF POOR The poorest of the poor and the poor are identified by the poor themselves through PRA methods. The women members of these house-holds are organized into small groups consisting of 10-15 members, called Self-help Groups (SHGs).The SHGs are federated into Village Organization (VO) at village level. The VOs are again federated into Mandal Samakhyas (MS) at mandal level-the village and the mandal are the administrative units in the state of Andhra Pradesh and the federation of VOs and MSs are co-terminus with these administrative units as a part of the strategy for the implementation of the World Bank assisted DPIP project for elimination of rural poverty in the district. Intensive training is takenup for members of the SHGs, VOs and MSs to build their capacities, to manage their institutions and to implement the project by themselves. this is the crux of the project which aims at creation of self reliant and self managed institutions of poor ( SHG., VO., & MS) with capacities built to a level where in they will champion the cause of the poor and will continue to work with poor until such time they came out of poverty on their own. The project staff will provide facilitation support to these organizations to handle this task by giving required

trainings and providing access to resources ( both natural and financial) to canalize them to be invested in productive livelihoods this is economic dimension in the project. There is a bigger social dimension in the project which aims at providing social security through community run mutual assurance scheme to cover the human lives and loan Protection Scheme to cover the animal lives, fighting against elimination of child labour, food security, eradication of child marriages, reduction of infant mortality rate etc., Out of these activities food security and mutual co-operative insurance have emerged as most popular schemes with 1.3 Lakh families reaping the benefit of food security scheme and 2.21 Lakh families covered under social security net and 50,000 animals insured. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SCHEME Objective of the food security is to ensure the poor family two square meal of food include access to rice taken from FP shop under PDS. Will ensure all the members who are having white ration cards to draw their entitlement of rice from FP Shop every month by providing credit. The project is conceived with an assumption that the rice issued under PDS will be sufficient for 10 days only to a poor family the remaining 20 days requirement the family generally purchases the rice from open market. Member wise food gap is assessed in detail by VO which is consolidated at the SHG level who places an indent to the VO to procure the same in addition to rice, the requirement of other essential commodities are also assessed and added to the basket of adequate food. At the Village Organization level there will be functional committees with specific duties allocated to handle the scheme viz., Purchase Committee, Distribution Committee, Recovery Committee etc., The VO discusses the consolidated proposal for all SHGs in the VO, in its Executive Committee meeting held for every month and give its approval. The Purchase Committee formed by the VO out of its Executive Committee will conduct market survey for the essential commodities and after obtaining the approval of the EC, will procure the indented quantities. The Distribution Committee will distribute rice and other essential commodities to all SHGs in the premises of the VO. The SHGs will in turn distribute them to their members as per their indent. Each member will repay the amount in 2 3 installments, in addition to down payment paid at the time of taking the rice. The total amount will be repaid in three to four weeks by SHG to VO. In the last week the process will be repeated and again the rice will be procured & distributed it to members The recovery rate is 100% and now, Comprehensive Food Security includes different packages in different mandals, this has resulted in

decrease in family expenditure and has given not only peace of mind to the house wife but also access to nutritious food as they have secure 50 Kgs of Rice bag and monthly provisions in their house. The most important impact is availability of nutritious food to the children and our SHG women is also eating two square meals of food which she used to neglect earlier. The Scheme has generated tremendous demand and has provided the desired life line in terms of food security to the poor communities. Food Security is being implemented in all the 34 Mandal Samakyas in Vizianagaram district. MSs. Out of 1251 VOs, the food security initiative is being implemented by 1200VOs. Total turnover per month is Rs.7.55 Crores Qty of Rice per month :68,66,050 Kgs. FOOD SECURITY SCHEME MONITORING SYSTEM : Sl.

Being a CDD (community driven) project, the work is on different levels to reflect the aspirations of rural youth. Some youth are willing to move to better opportunities in urban and semi-urban areas. Others are content to work, even at lower salaries, in their own villages. The Jobs models attempt to reflect these varying aspirations. Sustainability also comes from training the community itself to take the Jobs agenda forward. Though challenging, a pilot was carried out, after much brainstorming, in giving community market -scanning skills. Community takes a lead role in identification of the rural unemployed youth, facilitating them to approach Training Centre decide the training / skill they want and to undergo training and to join the job.

The unique feature of this intervention is the entire process of service delivery system is totally administered and monitored by the Community Based Organizations for the benefit of their members by collecting nominal service charges of Rs.10/- from each applicant. The entire process of insurance is done by the community that is from enrollment of members in the Self Help Groups (SHG) in the insurance policy, collection of premium amount, payment of premium amount to the LIC and collecting data of deaths by the Call Center, claim settlement process through community (Bima Mithras), disbursement of claim settlement amount to legal heirs by community collecting and submission of data of school going children, and disbursement of scholarship. Establishment of Call Center and web-based MIS with a sole objective of providing quick and quality services, through Bima Mitras selected from active SHG members. The responsibility of Bima Mitras is to enquire into each claim of death and disability and after the confirmation of the death as per the insurance regulations hand over an amount of Rs.5000/- as initial solarium. In Vizianagaram District 347124 women oganised into 25659 Self Help Groups. These Self Help Groups federated themselves into 1251 Village Organizations incorporated under AP Mutually Aided Cooperative Societies Act 1995 which in turn federated into 34 Mandal Mahila Samakhyas, and all the Mandal Samakhyas are confederated into Zilla Mahila Samakhya at District level. Eventually the SHGs and their federations are empowered to play an active role in insurance operations, to reduce rural people s vulnerabilities and to protect their income and asset base, by creating an enabling environment for self management by the community itself with this social infrastructure of the peoples net-work, the

implementation of the innovation is made possible. In fact all the members of the SHGs and their federations are poorest of the poor who are denied all the opportunities for development on the pretext of poverty.
