II. Convergence with TSC, MGNREGA, DWS, Rural Electricity, Rural CC Roads

Toilets should be integral part of IAY dwelling unit Cost of toilet should be a part of the total enhanced cost of IAY dwelling unit Toilets should be constructed at the very beginning of the IAY.

Construction of IAY dwelling unit should be deemed complete only when toilet is constructed

• • •

III.Building Technology for IAY

Locally available and affordable building technology materials be used Setting up of Repository of knowledge centres for providing information on cost effective building technology.

Need to train quality masons and provide funds for such training.

• • •

IV.

Operationalising Awaassoft (MIS)

Training issues (NIC training to block operatives in Bihar, SIRD training to DRDA Programme Officers and ADPs in Orissa) For each State Master trainers to be trained at Delhi NIC (range 10 MTs to 30 MTs each State) and then training at State level for Block level operatives Project Directors also need to be trained

• •

V.Low offtake of DRI loans

Matters needs to be discussed at DLBC and SLBC on a regular basis Use innovations like “Bank Mitras” to increase sanction and disbursement of DRI.

•

VI.Other Recommendations

Constitution of District level Coordination Committee under the Chairmanship of PD, DRDA – to coordinate convergence with schemes of other Departments
