The vistas of knowledge and demonstration have started to inert its learning with ever expanding for SMMUs/DMMUs/BMMUs/PFTs/SHGs/VOs and Federations encompassing ownership and leadership. b. Formation of NRLM Cell: A dedicated unit has been conceived at DRDA as NRLM cell in the Annual Action Plan to strengthen the initiatives of SRC at village level. The inevitable need to bridge the huge gap of human resources at DRDA is ploughed through the formation of NRLM cell in all the 23 districts having non-intensive blocks. The process is widely accepted by the districts as 22 of 23 districts initiated the recruitment process and two already constituted the cell. NRLM cell is formed in 2 districts (Ranchi and Giridih). Engagement of qualified and experienced professional at NRLM cell has led the concentrated effort of DRDA in leading the process of affiliating institutions of poor groomed during the period of SGSY. c. Resource Pool Formation: Resource pool is identified as one of the key performing indicators of SRC. About 50 resource persons were targeted in the annual action plan of for each of the 23 districts.

All the 130 LEOs are given basic orientation training and have been taken to the field of BRLP and SERP for exposure.

17 SOCIAL MOBILIZATION & INSTITUTION BUILDING Take the first step and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance. Under the Self Help Group (SHG) network at least one member from each identified rural poor household, preferably a woman, is brought in a time bound manner. The Mission will adopt differential strategies for social inclusion and mobilisation of all identified BPL households into functionally effective and self-managed institutions, with particular focus on inclusion of vulnerable sections like scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, disabled, landless, migrant labour, isolated communities and communities living in disturbed areas. Using participatory vulnerability assessment and ranking methodology it would identify the poorest and the most vulnerable amongst the BPL households. Both men and women from identified households would be organised into institutions of the poor (including farmers' organisations, producers' cooperatives etc.) for addressing livelihood issues. These aggregates would graduate into higher level institutions supported by community resource persons (CRP), which will ensure the processes of inclusion and mobilisation.

27 Livelihood Off Farm "It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill" Promotion of micro-enterprises as self-employment ventures has been an integral part of poverty alleviation and livelihood development strategies of the Government. SGSY, the most important rural livelihood intervention of the Government of India is estimated to have created 1.06 crore self-employed entrepreneurs during 1999 to About half of these enterprises were in the milch cattle sector, while 18% and 16% were in secondary and tertiary sectors respectively. A key issue that has been identified, from the experience of SGSY and its predecessor, IRDP is that, one-time support for establishing self-enterprises is not sufficient to

28 enable poor people to build a sustainable livelihood. There is need for sustained handholding and training support to ensure that the enterprises develop into sustainable sources of livelihoods. Even conventional enterprises started by those with access to capital and technical expertise have to access such support. Complexity of the issues related to technology, markets and finance demand that expert, yet cost-effective support mechanisms are available for entrepreneurs, more so for those from the poorer sections of the society. The poor are often attracted towards self-employment options through setting up micro-enterprises not because they have the skills or wherewithal to manage a business, but out of sheer compulsion. Often, people with professional education in business management find it difficult to deal with the issues of very small enterprises, primarily because of the differences in the world-view and experiences. Here too, having business management consultants from similar backgrounds as the entrepreneurs will help bridge the gap between business development needs of the entrepreneurs and business management knowledge that is available. JSLPS has signed a MoU with Kudumbashree, Kerala to adapt the Kerala MEC model to the conditions and requirement in Jharkhand and initiated the process in Sep The experience of the Kerala State Poverty Eradication Mission, popularly known as Kudumbashree, in creating a sustainable mechanism for enterprise support is worth closer examination. Kudumbashree has trained and placed men and women from amongst its community organization network, to provide continuous support to the large number of micro-enterprises in the State. These men and women are known as Micro Enterprise Consultants (MEC).

37 Knowledge Management & Communication You Can Have Brilliant Ideas But If U Can t Get Them Across, Your Ideas Won t Get You Anywhere Knowledge Management comprises a range of practices used in an organization to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable adoption of insights and experiences. Such insights and experiences comprise knowledge, either embodied in individuals or embedded in organizational processes or practice. Communication is human contact and interaction with the aim to agree on something. Communication models shape the complex reality, trying to comprehend the relevant factors of the communication process. Therefore, they only represent a simplified model of reality, not reality itself.

40 M&E and MIS The information that M&E programs and systems generate is critical for raising awareness and promoting a debate about the efficiency of public programs policies. It can empower citizens to hold their government accountable Under NRLM, JSLPS has established a monitoring and evaluation system enabling the programme to enhance overall effectiveness through establishing clear logical links between programme interventions and results. The M&E system is built upon the need for demonstrating accountability of DMMU/BMMU/partners and stakeholder by having strong mechanisms of measuring and managing results and learning. To this end, Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEL) is the guiding mechanism by integrating programmatic and institutional framework across the implementation structure i.e. SMMU, DMMU, BMMU and also cover Partner agencies & Technical Support Organization which will ensure accountability and higher degree of results. The M&E team undertakes sample checks and does regular random spot checks for output tracking and monitoring. These findings help the SMMU team to analyze the field observation,
