A number of issues pertaining to rural development programmes such as Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana, National Rural Livelihoods Mission and National Rural Employment Guarantee Act are likely to be discussed in a two-day conference beginning here tomorrow.

Besides monitoring and evaluation of the development programmes, issues relating to District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) administration scheme will be discussed in the conference to be inaugurated and chaired by Minister of Rural Development & Panchayati Raj Vilasrao Deshmukh.

The officials attending the event at Vigyan Bhawan will discuss "ways for an effective delivery system and ensure that policy initiatives and planning are based on ground realities", the Ministry said.

The major schemes expected to be evaluated in detail included Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY), National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), Rural Housing, Integrated Watershed Management Programme, Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC).

Launched in April 1999, SGSY aims to provide self-employment to villagers through the establishment of self-help groups, while NRLM -- which was launched earlier this month by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi -- aims to involve at least one member of the seven crore rural BPL families in the country in the self-help groups.

Similarly, MGNREGA provides a legal guarantee for 100 days of employment a year to adult members of any household.

DRDA is the principal organ at the district level to manage and oversee the implementation of all these programmes initiated by the government.

The project directors, who are incharge of the DRDAs, have to carry out the noble task of ensuring that the benefits of these programmes are availed by rural masses.
