Transforming Aspirational

Districts

District Action Plan

2018 - 22
Bastar
Executive Summary
Government of India has selected 115 backwards districts across the country based on various
parameters and initiated a scheme named ‘Transforming Aspirational Districts’. The scheme aims to
achieve rapid transformation in the socio-economic conditions of these districts – identified as
‘Aspirational Districts’ – by making development a mass movement. Each district has to prepare a
district action plan for 2018-2022, covering strategic actions for transformation in all sectors
concerning the development of the district. Bastar district became part of the Aspirational Districts
owing to its socio-economic backwardness and left-wing extremism in the district. This District Action
Plan prepared by Bastar District Administration lays out a vision, goals and roadmap for achievement
of this transformation

Niti Aayog, which guides the scheme, will rank districts based on their performance in 48 KPIs across
five sectors – Health & Nutrition, Education, Agriculture & Allied Sectors, Financial Inclusion and Skill
Development, and Basic Infrastructure – carrying weightage in following proportions:

Sl. No. Sectors Weightage

1 Health & Nutrition 30%
2 Education 30%
3 Agriculture & Allied Sectors 20%
4 Financial Inclusion and Skill Development 10%
5 Basic Infrastructure 10%

In addition to these five broad sectors, the Action Plan identifies other sectors and sub-sectors which
are crucial for development of the district. Tourism is one such sector which has immense potential
for livelihood in the district. In each of these sectors, the Action Plan analyses the present status,
explores financial and human resources available, sets targets and chalks out broad strategies to
achieve those targets. Pursuing the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri. Narendra Modi, the
action plan identifies ‘low-hanging fruit’ sectors where transformation can be achieved within a year
and creates strategies appropriately. Health & Nutrition, Sanitation and Basic Household Amenities
have been identified as low-hanging fruit sectors. For these sectors, substantial achievements are
aimed for by 2018-19 itself. In other sectors, broader outcomes are aimed for by 2022. The broad
targets in each of the sectors are given below:
Health & Nutrition:
 Reduce IMR to less than 22 and MMR to less than 80
 Reduce child malnutrition to less than 10%
 Ensure safe delivery through 100% coverage of ANCs, reducing incidences of Severe
Anaemia to less than 0.5% and 100% institutional delivery
 Sustain reduction in malnourishment through improvement of adolescent girl health
 Sustain sanitation and hygiene achieved through ODF district
 Achieve national level average in incidence of all diseases
 Achieve IPHS compliance in at least 80% of public health facilities

  Adoption of learning by activities in all schools
 Ensure SSA and RMSA school standards including teachers, laboratory, library and
computers in all school

Agriculture & Allied sectors
 Double farmers income by 2022
 Increase area under irrigation from 11% to 20%
 Increase area under micro-irrigation from 1.8% to 5.8%
 Increase agricultural yield for rice and wheat
 75% coverage of agricultural land under Fasal Bhima Yojana
 Achieve crop diversification with 50% high value crops
Financial Inclusion and Skill Development
 Double Mudra loan disbursement

 Increase percentage of habitations with all-weather road connectivity to above 95%
 Mobile and broadband connectivity to all panchayats
 At least 30000 new pucca houses
 Tap water connectivity to at least 25% of household
Apart from these outcomes targets, annual targets have been identified for all the 48 KPIs. This is
provided in the section ‘Quarterly/Annual Targets for Transformation’.

The thrust of the scheme is in maximum utilization of existing resources to achieve the transformation.
The Action Plan has focussed on convergence of various schemes for achieving outcomes. This has
been mapped out in the section ‘Convergence opportunities identified’. The next section maps
financial resources under various schemes with the outcomes identified. The Action Plan also give
suggestions for tweaks in Centrally Sponsored Schemes that’ll improve the impact of them.

It is the vision of the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi to make development a mass
movement through this scheme. In the strategies devised for each of the sector, mass involvement is
an integral part. The Action Plan also lays out the measures planned by the District Administration to
make the process a mass movement.

District Overview
Bastar district is located in the southern part of Chhattisgarh state on the Eastern Bastar Plateau. It
came into being at the time of independence and later on districts Dantewada, Kanker and Kondagaon
were separated from it. Jagadalpur, which is situated at the banks of river Indravati, is the
headquarters of Bastar district and Bastar division. Indravati forms the main drainage of the district,
with Markandi and Narangi being other rivers. Forest cover dominates the district landscape and half
of the district are mountainous and rocky.

Of the total population more than 70 per cent are tribal people like Gond Tribe, Maria, Muria, Dhruva,
Bhatra, Halba Tribe, etc. Agriculture is the main economic activity followed by minor forest produce.
Mineral wealth also plays an important role in the economy. Iron industry, rice and flour mills,
agricultural equipment manufacturing etc. are the main industries. Traditional industries like pottery,
weaving, carpentry etc. are also present.
The district is still considered to be remote, with the absence of a railway line connecting Raipur.
Goods and passengers mainly rely on road transport. Many habitations of the district are in remote
locations and devoid of all-weather road connectivity.

component of local food. Although it’s contribution to food basket has reduced, different
types of millets are grown across the district and is an important crop for tribal community
among whom malnourishment is also high. This can be leveraged to create local solutions for
malnourishment

Strategy and brief description of the activity planned
1. Participatory planning: The District Action Plan has been prepared with the active
participation of all stakeholders. People’s representatives were appraised of the
programme, current status in each of the sector and focus areas before preparation of
action plan. In each of the sectors the stakeholders at grassroot level were consulted
2. Focus on awareness and people owned action: For sectors like nutrition and health, the
focus has been kept on raising public awareness and using participatory means to include
everyone the action
3. Understanding cultural concerns: Several of the challenges arise from cultural issues and
needs to be tackled with sensitivity and multi-pronged approach. Action plan envisions this
approach to ensure inclusion of everyone in this effort for transformation
4. Utilization of public fares and gatherings for promotion of action: District Administration has
identified several occasions and events in the district which can be effectively utilized for
agenda in the action plan. For example, Chawal Tyohar – the day when PDS ration is
distributed in Fair Price Shops – have been utilized for raising awareness about malnutrition
for the whole community. The vendors of FPS have been trained to this aspect
5. Innovative means of IEC: For example, Maa Danteshwari Poshan evam Swasthy Vahini has
been arranged in each gram panchayat for disseminating information related to
programmes concerning nutrition
