POINT OF CONCERN

(i)

Employment Generating Work

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

(ii)

P.D.S.

The performance on this point is yet to improve in the districts like Angul, Baragarh, Kandhamal, Kendrapara, Keonjhar, Nuapada & Sundergarh.. The Collector, Sundergarh should be particularly vigilant on this point as the number of retail outlet points which did not lift the stock stands at 15 out of the total figure 57 for the State as a whole.

(iii)

Safe Drinking Water

538, 357, 352, 312 & 307 habitations in Kandhamal, Gajapati, Kendrapara, Koraput & Boudh districts respectively are without safe drinking water out of the total figure of 3,338. 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 / H & UD Department.

The position of the districts such as Angul, Bargarh, Deogarh, Dhenkanal, Keonjhar, Kalahandi, Malkangiri, Mayurbhanj, Nawarangpur, Rayagada, Nayagarh & Sundergarh are no better.
[Action : R.D. Deptt.]

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

CONSTRAINTS

The Collectors have reported that 5.08 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 7,769 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 73,145 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 3,338 habitations require tube wells immediately for safe drinking water. RD Department / H & UD Department may report the current status in this regard.
