POINT OF CONCERN

(i)

Employment Generating Work

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

(ii)

P.D.S.

The performance on this point is yet to improve in the districts like Angul, Gajapati, Jharsuguda Kendrapara, Keonjhar 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 21 out of the total figure 69 for the State as a whole.
[Action : F.S.&C.W. Deptt.]

(iii)

Safe Drinking Water

586 & 562 habitations in Rayagada & Kandhamal districts respectively are without safe drinking water out of the total figure of 3930. 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 Boudh, Kendrapara, Mayurbhanj, Angul, Nayagarh, Gajapati, Deogarh, Dhenkanal, Keonjhar, Koraput, Malkangiri, Sambalpur & Sundergarh are no better.
[Action : R.D. Deptt.]

(iv)

Health Care

Medical care facilities need to be tightened specifically in the KBK districts where the deaths due to malaria have been reported.
[Action : H & F.W. Deptt.]

(v)

Submission of Fortnightly Compliance

Collectors are advised to ensure timely submission of compliance report.

(vi)

Static Database for Tracking Food Security

The Collector of Cuttack has not submitted the Static Database Report

Repeated requested have no impact. He is once again advised to submit the required report from next fortnight positively.
[Action : Collectors]

EVALUATION

(a)

Job Seekers

Maximum job seekers of 2468, 2255, 1974, 1947, 1438 & 1145 are in Jagatsinghpur, Jajpur, Kalahandi, Kandhamal, Dhenkanal & Nawarangpur, districts respectively against the state figure of 17,768.

All Collectors were requested to indicate the quantum of foodgrains available against co.2 of Format-D. The Collectors of Balasore and Dhenkanal have failed to comply the instructions. While compiling these information, 18 Collectors should take into account the availability of foodgrain under newly introduced NFFW Programme in 18 districts.
[Action : P.R. Deptt.]

(b)

PDS

69 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

Under AY scheme 648 beneficiaries have not lifted their entitlement during the fortnight.
Collectors of Gajapati, Angul, Puri, Cuttack & Mayurbhanj should take it seriously as the number of beneficiaries who have not lifted their entitlement stands at 364, 47, 45, 36 & 32 respectively.
[Action : P.R. Deptt.]

(d)

Antodaya Anna Yojana

314, 281, 227, 178, 173, 115 & 78 AAY beneficiaries in Puri, Nuapara, Angul, Rayagada, Keonjhar, Bargarh & Cuttack districts respectively have not lifted their entitlement till 30th of the month out of 1742 total defaulters. Effective steps should have been taken by the Collectors to minimise the no. of defaulters.
[Action : P.R. Deptt.]

(e)

SNP

8 & 6 AW centres in Kendrapara & Mayurbhanj districts respectively stopped functioning out of the total of 21. 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.
[Action : W. & C.D. Deptt.]

(f)

MDM

The supervision of MDM programme should be tightened.

(g)

OAP

Maximum nos. of beneficiaries those who have not received their pension are in the districts of Nayagarh, Bolangir, Jagatsinghpur, Balasore, Angul, Kalahandi, Sambalpur, Koraput, Cuttack, Mayurbhanj, Puri, Khorda, Nuapada, Bargarh, Gajapati, Ganjam, Jajpur, Jharsuguda & Sundargarh respectively. All out efforts must be made by Collectors to keep this number to minimum as 7,846 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 .

Other districts should follow the example.
[Action : W.& C.D. Deptt.]

(h)

Prolonged illness

159 main bread earners have been suffering from prolonged illness out of which 68 in Nuapada, 34 in Rayagada, 17 each in Dhenkanal & Koraput district. Collectors should report separately regarding the action taken to ensure food security of these families.

Collectors of other districts should intimate regarding specific action taken by them in this regard before submission of the next fortnightly report.
[Action : H. & F.W. Deptt.]

(i)

Safe Drinking Water

The no. of habitations without safe drinking water stands at 3,930 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 Care

 

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

4.

CONSTRAINTS

The Collectors have reported that 4.92 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 7,846 persons 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 78,365 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 3,930 habitations require tube wells immediately for safe drinking water. RD Department may report the current status in this regard
