13. Intensive Participatory Planning
Exercise

14. Need for Participatory Planning
 It is easily understood that the people of a village know better them
any outsider.
 To Address their problems and improve their situation.
 Participatory planning is an approach and a methodology which
helps
identify community problems and to Plan solutions with the active
participation of community members.
 Facilitates the identification, preparation and design of community
project based on the reality and criteria of its members.
 It is a people- centric process that puts the poorest first.

15. Key Features And Benefits of
Participation
 Mobilizes the community.Informs People of the possibilities for
planning
and executing local development individual.
 Promotes greater inclusiveness by using techniques.It builds trust
understanding between different groups in a community .
 Promotes greater transparency.It acknowledges power differentials
within
the community and ensures that the voice of the ‘last is heard first’.
 It teaches skills which last beyond the planning process.
 Shifts control of development from a few to the lager community and
increases ownership
Increases the credibility of the projects that are taken up because they

16. Key Steps In The Planning Process
Step -1: Orientation on meeting
 Meeting of Block officials
 To the identified BPT members
 Orientation meeting of elected heads of GP’s, members of
JP’s, and GP/Block level functionaries of community based
organizations.
The meeting will finalize the block level IPPE Calendar.

17. Key Steps In The Planning Process

members of the GP
 GP facilitates a meeting of the BPT with elected
Representatives and identified members of people’s
institutions. Meeting identifies local contact persons for
villages/hamlets/wards and finalises IPPE calendar for GP.

18. Key Steps In The Planning Process
Step -3: understanding the community
Opening discussion in public meeting at the
ward/hamlet/village.
 FGDs with key stakeholders, undertaking social mapping,
Amenities mapping, Resource Mapping, Transect walk,
Household survey for Identified Most Vulnerable
Households, seasonality Analysis, Problem Analysis.

19. Key Steps In The Planning Process
Step -4: Planning for development
 Visioning exercise fot Village Development through
MGNREGS.
 Identification of MGNREGS Work through FGDs With
stakeholders and transect walks.
 Prioritising of works at the ward/hamlet/village level.
 Matching works to Demand for Employment.
Step -5: Presentation of plan
 First at the sub- panchayat level.
 Final prioritization and approval in gram sabha.

22. Understanding the Community
Tools to understand the community provides us with
information on :
 Vulnerable Communities
 Vulnerable Households
 Their current status in terms of MGNREGA employment
and Assets
 Their current resource ownership & Control (Community
& individual)
 Their need for MGNREGA Employment with seasonality
of need
Their need for Assets in terms of community and
individual assets.

23. Key Acctivities
 Social map
 Seasonality mapping
 Door to door survey at thr habitation level
 Resource Mapping
 Transect walk

24. Key Activities – 1. Social Map
 Social Map presents information of different households
residing in the location.
 Basic focus is on Vulnerability groups and their
information about MGNREGA registration, employment
and individual asset creation.
 It also depicts amenities available in the area to discuss
the potential of MGNREGA by plotting current assets and
the need & potential to develop new ones.
 A team of one facilitator, one observer and one
documenter helps in facilitating social maps.

25. Key Activities – 1. Social Map
Key questions which it helps in answering :
 How many households in villages & where are they
located?
 Institutions and amenities found in the village and
where?
 Assets previously created under MGNREGA and
employment status of past year
 Socio-economic status of Vulnerable groups.

26. Key Activities – 2. Seasonality Map
Life and Livelihoods in villages of India vary from season to
season.
 There are seasons when there is a lot of Agricultural work,
forest produce work and wage employment availability.
 Also there are lean seasons when neither Agricultural work
nor common property based livelihoods are available. These
seasons can be harnessed for MGNREGA employment.
To create Seasonality Maps, use the names of seasons and
months as locally used by people.

27. Key Activities – 2. Seasonality Map
 Seasonality of livelihoods and employment varies between
different communities and between women and men.
 For example,
Among forest neighbouring communities, ST
households and especially women, might be having greater
dependence on Non Timber Forest Produce (e.g Mahua flower
or Tendu Patta Collection).

28. Key Activities – 2. Seasonality Map
How to make a Seasonality Map?
 Introduce the purpose and ask the participants on how the
local people divide the year.
 Let the community construct the calendar rather than
directing the process.
 Take the variables such as Agriculture, wage employment,
migration, MGNREGA work, forest resources, etc. on the top
side.
 Focus attention on one particular variable and encourage
people to plot this on the calendar using drawing symbols or
objects. Eg. Labour demand, determine the 4 least busy
months, lean period etc.

30. Key Activities – Resource Mapping
How to make a Resource mapping
 Collect the revenue maps of the target villages.
 Carry material required for drawing resource map on the earth/floor
of chart papers.
 Identify 2-3 persons from the village/hamlet who have knowledge and
understanding about revenue map and land.
Preparing the map in the village
The following are the major step
a. Step 1- lay out village boundary
b. Step 2- mark out directions
c. Step 3- draw major rivers, existing NRLM assets
d. Step 4- refine by drawing out patches of land (either by
patta/community/soil/crop)with the help of the community.

31. Key Activities – Transect walk
What is a transect walk
 Transect walk gives us an actual feel of the habitation as well as the
resources.
 To given idea of housing conditions and nature of amenities available
in the village.
 Transect across agricultural fields can provide an idea about land use,
drainage, soil quality and so on.
Materials and time required
 Large sheets of paper, markers, notebooks/paper and pens are needed
to make a copy of the diagram and also for the note-taker to record the
discussion generated
