INFRASTRUCTURE

The village is well equipped with all basic infrastructure except a Primary Health Centre and a post
Office. The gram panchayat office is a well-equipped government owned building. The village owns a
tractor, segregation shed, crematorium, nursery and park under the Palle Pragati Scheme. A Rythu
Vedika has also been recently built but yet to be inaugurated. The village is drained by one canal and
the main source of water for irrigation is borewells. The village has its own pond which is also used
for drinking purposes.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE VILLAGE

HEALTH

Since there is no PHC, lower-income groups find it tough to get treatment for surgeries and other
ailments as there is a huge transport cost involved to go to hospitals in Nizamabad and Hyderabad.
People depend largely on Registered Medical Practitioners (RMPs) who may may not have received
any medical education and more often than not are quacks.
The Anganwadi Workers showcased the different foods that pregnant and lactating mothers and
children should eat to improve maternal and child health. The workers also exhibited health rich
indigenous foods of the region including various biscuits/cakes/ lodoos/namkeens made out of
Balamrut – Supplementary Nutrition food for children between 7 months to 3 years to reduce

Poverty

Rather than just education, caste and consequently land holding are the main factors which go
a long way in deciding the economic status of the villagers. The economic disparity in
different localities can be easily gauged on a primary tour of the village. While the SC
Colony has tiled traditional small houses, open drains and a mud road; the OC and BC colony
have larger houses with more than one floor, cemented roads and well-equipped toilets

POVERTY ALLEVIATION MEASURES

There are a number of ongoing schemes that aim to alleviate the poverty especially in rural
communities depending on agriculture. The following is the brief description of various schemes we
witnessed in the village.

3. MNERGS: 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every rural
household. 33% works to be done by women. Works under mgnerga in the village: parks, nursery,
waste segregation unit, crematorium.
Following is the information regarding Job cards issued.

4. Shaadi Mubarak/Kalyan Lakshmi scheme: One-time financial assistance of 1,16000 Rs at the

time of marriage for brides. Parental income shouldn’t exceed 2L Rs. It helps BPL families who are
just starting a new life after marriage.
Employment

The major source of employment for most of the villagers is agriculture. Few farmers own large tracts
of land and are able to therefore produce surplus and benefit from economies of scale. Most have
marginal or small land holdings and also work on other people’s farms. Many women especially of
vulnerable section were also involved in Beedi Making. Some villagers own shops in and around the
village. The Multi-Purpose Workers (MPWs) employed by the Panchayat are, among other things, in
charge of collecting and segregating garbage and cleaning the crematorium.

SHGs:
Hierarchy

Under the IKP community organizational structure, there are 3 levels of apex bodies above the SHG level:
● Village Organizations (VO) at the village level, federating all the SHGs in a particular village;

● Mandal Samakhyas (MS) are the apex bodies of VOs at the mandal level; and

● Zilla Samakhyas are apex bodies of MS at the district level
