POINT OF CONCERN

(i)

Employment Generating Work

No job seekers for wage employment without work in Bargarh, Ganjam, Jharsuguda, Khordha, Malkangiri, Rayagada, Subarnapur & Sundargarh Collectors of these districts should be meticulous in analysing & verifying the information received from GP level in this regard.

(ii)

P.D.S.

The performance on this point is yet to improve in the districts like Angul, Gajapati, Ganjam, Jharsuguda, Kendrapara, Nawarangpur, Subaranapur and Sundergarh. The Collector, Nawarangpur should be particularly vigilant on this point as the number of retail outlet points which did not lift the stock stands at 24 out of the total figure 104 for the State as a whole.
[Action : F.S.&C.W. Deptt.]

(iii)

Safe Drinking Water

565 & 555 habitations in Rayagada & Kandhamal districts respectively are without safe drinking water out of the total figure of 4078. The position in this regard has been very high for quite sometime and was discussed specifically in the review meeting taken by Chief Secretary on 08.07.04. It requires immediate attention of RD Department.

The position of the districts such as Kendrapara, Mayurbhanj, Angul, Nayagarh, Gajapati, Boudh, Deogarh, Dhenkanal, Keonjhar, Koraput, Malkangiri, Nawarangpur, Sambalpur & Sundergarh are no better.
[Action : R.D. Deptt.]

(iv)

Health Care

[Action : H & F.W. Deptt.]

(v)

Submission of Fortnightly Compliance

All Collectors were requested to indicate the quantum of foodgrains available against co.2 of Format-D. The Collectors of Dhenkanal & Kandhamal have failed to comply the instructions.

[Action : P.R. Deptt]

(b)

PDS

104 numbers of retail outlet points did not lift the monthly stock under PDS. The position, however, appears to have been improved in comparison to last fortnight. Care should be taken by the concerned Collectors to minimise the numbers & take appropriate action against the dealers for such negligence.
[Action : F.S. & C.W. Deptt.]

(c)

Annapurna Yojana

[Action : P.R. Deptt.]

(e)

SNP

8 & 5 AW centres in Kendrapara & Mayurbhanj districts respectively stopped functioning since last fortnight out of the total of 18. The Collectors must take required step to make those functional. W & CD Department should specifically take up the matter.

% of Grade-III & IV children is still continuing to be high in Nawarangpur, Nuapara, Bolangir, Jharsuguda, Sundergarh and Kalahandi districts. W & CD Department may streamline the matter & take effective steps to minimise the percentage.

All out efforts must be made by Collectors to keep this number to minimum as 77,960 benificiaries in the state have not received their pension.

The report of the Collector Bhadrak stands at `zero’ since first fortnight of January,04 which is a good sign. Kandhamal has achieved the goal since first fortnight of October, 04 & Collector, Rayagada has also achieved the target during this fortnight.

[Action : H. & F.W. Deptt.]

(i)

Safe Drinking Water

The no. of habitations without safe drinking water stands at 4,078 and has gone up from that of the last fortnight.

RD Department should bring out a report on the actual position and also specifically check up the actual figures pointed out by the districts.

(j)

Health and FW Department as well as Collectors should tighten the health care system.

4.

The Collectors have reported that 5.68 lakh additional beneficiaries need to be covered under Supplementary Nutrition Programme. W & CD Department should bring out the status of additional coverage.

The report from the districts reveals that 7796persons have not received Old Age Pension / Widow Pension. This area further requires the close monitoring and streamlining by the block administration

The Collectors have reported that 76,263 destitutes are in dire need of pension. This is a primary tool to curb malnutrition & hunger. W & CD Department should take steps in the matter.

It is seen from the reports that 4,078 habitations require tube wells immediately for safe drinking water. RD Department may report the current status in this regard.
