INTRODUCTION

The activities of Shree Kshethra Dharmasthala Rural

Development Project (SKDRDP) are spread across Dakshina

Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts. It will expand its

activities to Shimoga and Chikmagalur districts from the financial

year 2007-10. It has promoted 45,756 self-help groups (SHGs)

consisting of 4.60 lakh members belonging to small and marginal

farmer, labour and women community. Of them 97,000 small and

marginal farmers have shared 1,35,17,130 labour man days to

convert 50,000 hectares of barren land into a productive green

land.

The SKDRDP took up women empowerment programmes,

awareness against addictions, technology transfer programmes

for improving the farming practices among weaker sections.

With the passage of time SKDRDP began to play role in

transfer of technology, providing the infrastructure, providing

finance through micro credit. Besides this, the project

concentrated on the empowerment of rural women and hence

began 'Jnanavikasa Programme'. In response to the social needs

SKDRDP 3
of the area the SKDRDP innovated into activities like Janajagruthi,

Community Development, Siri etc.,

A village level worker known as 'Sevaniratha', approached

the stakeholder families, sat with them to prepare a five-year

development plan and assisted them to implement the same.

The Dharmasthala temple has given the required material

support like equipments, seed material in the form of charity.

Large quantities of rice were distributed during the initial

decades as a compensation for the families while they worked in

their own lands. the concept of 'Food for Work' was implemented

by SKDRDP, with a view to develop the lands.

Functions

Its main function is concerned with the rural development.

Among which agriculture,

health, education, sanitation,

rural employment, rural savings,

environmental protection, public

awareness regarding social evils

, small scale industries are important one’s. It provides all the

necessary infrastructure like as shelter , drinking water

DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES:

PRAGATHI BANDU- Self help group

For the development of very small,

small and marginal farmers, this

organisation has framed many

plans, under which one is “self help

groups”. Pragathi bandu group

consists of 8 members irrespective of class of local farmers.

They meet regularly once in a week to discuss the developmental

activities of self-help groups like as savings, loans and advances,

division of labour. Small farmers indulge in constructive activities

SKDRDP 14
like as construction of warehousing , rural roads, houses, open

well, fencing, soil conservation through division of labour

effectively.

These groups programmes to

develop the small farmers

Economically and they create

communal harmony among the

Farmers . This is one of the model for the success of this

organisation.

Laboursharing at beneficiary house Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade discussing

with beneficiaries

Laboursharing Pragathibandhu meeting

The initial approach of SKDRDP was charity based. Under the programme the beneficiaries were assisted with
equipments, seed materials and ' Food for Work ' so that they could take up their waste lands into cultivation.
However a study conducted in the year 1990 by the Department of Extension, University of Agricultural Sciences,
indicated that the benefits of charity would have been more effective if there was self help, in the form of physical
contribution by the beneficiary.

The year 1991 was a watershed year for SKDRDP. The concept of charity changed to the concept of self

SKDRDP 15
 help. SKDRDP started organizing self help groups. Unique model of male member self help groups. These
are called "Pragathi Bandhu Groups" . The unique feature of Pragathi Bandhu Groups is labour sharing.
Each member works for the other member one day in a week. This has helped thousands of small farmers
to achieve important farm works. A five year farm plan prepared by the members in consultation with the
group and the Sevaniratha gives the much needed goal to the families.

The Pragathibandhu model of groups is a successful model developed by SKDRDP and now it is approved
by the Government of India and adopted for the implementation of special S.G.S.Y Project. Objectives :

Organize and empower small and marginal farmers and laborers.

• Develop the habit of savings & thrift.

• Provide micro credit assistance primarily for land development, creation of infrastructure and
personal emergency needs.

• Developing self confidence, self reliance and leadership.

• Transfer of governance to village level federation of SHGs

• Promote compulsory labour sharing for performing individual and community tasks.

as a middleman to supply the facilities provided by the

government to farmers especially in the field of development of

horticulture.

SKDRDP 21
WATER HARVESTING:

One of the earliest plans prepared by the pragathi bandhu

is to dig open well and acquire water pumping systems and

supply system. Normally the wells are dug by the group

members. Pragathinidhi loans are availed to acquire the irrigation

equipments. To meet the water requirements irrigation facilities

are taken up by the stakeholders which includes the pump sets,

sprinklers and aid to dig wells as this is the only water source in

many places. Crops such as arecanut, coconut, banana and

vegetables are cultivated in irrigated areas through organic

methods.

water conservation techniques, planning plantation crops, short

duration crops, creation of family assets which include house,

toilet, electrification etc. are planned for a period of time. A

separate record is maintained in each family to implement and

review the plan. More than Four Lakh families have prepared

their plans and have implemented them successfully.

Cultivation is taken up in accordance with the plan. A

combination of long term commercial crops with the short term

crops is practiced to ensure economic stability. Commercial crops

such as rubber, cashew, arecanut and vanilla are encouraged

with the project providing the beneficiaries with the saplings at

subsidized charges along with the improved variety of high

yielding seeds/saplings. Crops such as ginger, turmeric,

SKDRDP 23
vegetables and other crops are encouraged in the hilly areas.

POWER PROTECTION:

In the beginning of the plan, because of the poverty of

the members they were unable to get power facility . Even

after their empowerment due to lack of facilities they could

not get power supply . Because of this reason they had to go

for a alternative source of electricity. At this time alternative

renewable sources like gobar gas and solar energy came into

existence.These two resources not only provide energy but

also protect the environment. Now these villages are

independent by using natural renewable sources of energy. This

is the only programme which facilitate solar energy to a large

extent in a small geographical area.

Under this plan, one more programme has been established

in Bhanjaru Malay village of Bhelthangadi taluk at a capacity of

10 kilowatts of small power unit which is to be mentioned.

The organisation of the S.K.D.R.D.P. consists of the following

divisions:-

1. Head Office:

The head office is in Shri Kshethra Dharmasthala and is in

overall charge of all the activities of the S.K.D.R.D.P. units

situated in various districts and other places . It is fully in

charged by Dr. Veerendra Hegde.

2. Units of S.K.D.R.D.P:

S.K.D.R.D.P. has been set in various districts and Taluks. It

is headed by a District Director who looks after all the project

officers.

ADMINISTRATION:

Authority of responsibility flows from district director, he

looks after all the activities of the project officers who are in his

district . He guides and gives suggestions to the project

officers in administering the organisation.

Project officer has to play an important role, who looks

after all the managers, supervisors. He conducts meetings from

SKDRDP 39
time to time and implements projects and programmes

effectively.

Managers have a crucial role to play, who looks after the

staff members and their efficiency , maintains records and

managers all other activities and programmes in the

organisation.

Supervisors are responsible for the acts of field workers.

They give proper guidance and assistance to the field workers.

Field workers are the one’s who are responsible for the

successful running of the organisation. They go to each and

every house in the village and they give them information about

the programmes of S.K.D.R.D.P. and the benefits people get

from it . Field workers should have effective communication

skills and they provide all sort of training and assistance to the

rural people in implementing their project and helping them to

become self employed.

Later in the year 1992, the organisation realized that

charity coupled with self help would hasten the process of

empowerment, the group concept was evolved. The men groups

called pragathi bandhu groups were promoted in the initial

SKDRDP 40
year. In the later part of the year 1993, the jnanavikasa mahila

groups were also initiated and then onwards all progammes of

SKDRDP are implemented through group concept. And in the

year 1996, SKDRDP initiated microfinance programme.

One field worker is engaged for one village for

implementation of the programmes of SKDRDP and therefore

selection of field worker (called as Sevaniratha) was a crucial

point for SKDRDP.

Appoinment of Sevaniratha: The process of appointing

Sevaniratha involves three steps.

The youths with metric or Degree qualifications are eligible

for sevaniratha post.

1st Step: Interface: The initial interface has three steps. (1)

Written test to assess the general knowledge of the candidate.

(2) Self introduction to understand the strength and weaknesses

of the candidate and (3) a group discussion to assess the

qualities of the candidate. Face to face interview is conducted in

order to assess the knowledge, vocability, interest in the work,

manners, etc. Successful candidates would be selected for the

next process.

SKDRDP 41
2nd Step: Field Practice for 10 days: In order to make an

introduction to the working system of SKDRDP regarding

implementation of various projects, the selected candidates

would be sent for 10 days field training (to a place already

working). During the training period, the Sevaniratha would take

him to the field and allow him to conduct certain programmes,

attend meetings, counsel group members and he observes and

send performance report to the Project Office. The candidate’s

grit and adaptability his love for field work and other qualities are

quickly assessed.

3rd Step: 3 days class room training: On the basis of

performance report, the candidates would be selected for class

room training for 3 days. During the training programme,

assessment regarding writing skills, ability to grasp, responsibility

taking, accounting knowledge, general knowledge, ability to

speak and counsel is done. At the end a small test is conducted

to understand the knowledge he has grasped in the above

process.

On the satisfactory performance in all above, the candidate

would be appointed on training period for 3 months and his

service would be confirmed afterwards.

SKDRDP 42
Deployment: On adoption of new villages, Sevaniratha would

open a office in the village. He contacts village panchayath and

gets all details of the village. He contacts VIPs, political leaders of

the village and meets villagers and requests for their support in

the implementation of the projects.

Then, he would call grama sabha when the people of the

village attend and explain about the objectives of the project.

Again bailuvaru sabha is also conducted. Then he would take

steps to promote groups. Training to the groups would be

arranged to SHGs on SHG concept, book keeping, record

maintenance, internal lending. Further, groups having members

from agricultural background would be provided training on

agricultural issues and would be guided by the agriculture

officers of SKDRDP.

The groups without landholding and which are interested in

self employment ventures would be trained on the venture

selected by them through RUDSETI or by SKDRDP through

resource persons from expert institutions. Then groups would be

credit linked with local banks or directly by SKDRDP.

*****

SKDRDP 43
Group Types: SKDRDP is implementing all its projects through

SHGs. There are two major types of SHGs:-

a) Pragathibandhu Model (Male groups): 5 to 7 members

with small land holdings from groups and they undertake labour

sharing. That is each member works for all the members once in

a week for all the members.

This is a very successful model which is replicated in the

special central Govt. Project i.e. SGSY Project. This model has

special merits, where understandings between the members are

very high. Members even attend to the personal problems of co-

members on account of affection between them. The name itself

refers “Pragathi Bandhu” means “partner for progress”.

This has contributed for the overall development of

prgathibandhus and thus leading to successful model.

b) Jnanavikasa women SHGs: SKDRDP promotes women SHGs

involving landless women in the villages. Under this category we

can classify:-

Jnana vikasa SHGs

Group enterprises SHGs

Simple SHGs.

Jnanavikasa SHGS:- Under this, members of 10 to 15 SHGs

joins in a centre every week and conduct programmes which

SKDRDP 44
improves their knowledge like awareness programmes and

workshops on health and hygiene, education, child care, family

matters, home maintenance, nutrition food preparation, etc. In

addition to this they participate in skits, dramas, singing, group

discussion on the occasion of certain cultural programmes. The

idea behind this is to engage the village women in certain

activities which keeps away them from own time house affairs.

The members of Jnanavikasa SHGS avail credit facility for

general purposes like gold purchase, marriages, repayment of old

loans, etc.

Group enterprises SHGs:- The members of 3 to 4 groups

engage in production of certain items like phenoil, soap,

detergent power, washing powder, pickles, squashes,

condiments, textiles, etc. They are provided with backward and

forward linkages by Shri Dharmasthala Siri Gramodyoga

Samsthe. SKDRDP provides the credit needed to such SHGs.

Simple SHGs:- The members meet once in a week, do internal

lending business avail loans for general consumption,

infrastructure development, housing, etc. These SHGs are

promoted for the individual development of the members. That is

the members engaged in coolly work, from groups and get loans

SKDRDP 45
for housing, agriculture, diary, small scale poultry farming and

other purposes.

****

Micro Finance (Pragathi Nidhi Programme): SKDRDP has

started its micro finance operations in the year 1996 in a very

small scale to know the impact. As such, Rs. 4.00 crores were

dispersed to the groups as revolving fund for 8 years tenure. The

performance of the groups was excellent. There was 100%

recovery rate every month grom the groups to SKDRDP.

Influenced by this, SKDRDP increased its volume of micro

finance and presently, the total outstanding loan is Rs.

60.00 crores with 100% recovery rate.

Steps in Micro Finance Programme:

1. Application Generation: In the weekly meetings of the

group, the discussion takes place as to whom/ how much/ for

what loan is needed. The field worker (Sevaniratha) participates

in the meeting and guides the group members. After discussion

the application would be generated and submitted to the field

worker.

2. Eligible amount: The groups of more than 9 months old and

upto 3 years are eligible to get finance from SKDRDP upto 1:4 of

their savings as revolving fund. And the groups of above 3 years

SKDRDP 46
old would be provided with the credit to the extent of 1:40 of

their savings provided. i.e.

Revolving fund to the extent of 1:10 for 3 years

Infrastructure fund loan to the extent of 1:20 for 4 years

Non-Farm Sector loan to the extent of 1:20 for 5 years

Group activity loan to the extent of 1:30 for 5 years.

That is, a group could avail maximum amount to the extent

of 1:40 of its savings. Similarly, members are also eligible to get

finance in the same ratios.

It must be noted that only A and B rated groups are eligible to

get finance from SKDRDP.

Assessment of Repayment capacity:

However, for sanction of loans to the group, the repayment

capacity of the group (i.e. of the members) is taken into account.

That is repayment capacity for group eligibility amount whichever

is less is considered for the ultimate sanction. The repayment

capacity of the group is calculated based on the ratio total no. of

member to the annual income of these members. The following

procedure is adopted for calculating it.

1. No. of members in the group

2. Annual income from all the available sources of every

member in the group.

SKDRDP 47
1 2 3 4… 10… Total

Agriculture

Daily wages

Self-employment

Other sources

Total A

3. B

The balance repayment to be made by every member in the

group for the earlier loans

4. The income generation capacity of the group (C)=(A-B)

5. Five year income, repayment capacity of the group (D)=C x

205

6. Repayment capacity of the group

If the group is operating from one year then, repayment

capacity=

D x 0.25

If the group is operating from two years then, repayment

capacity= D x 0.5

If the group is operating from three or more years then,

repayment capacity= D x 1

SKDRDP 48
As a norm the repayment capacity of the group is calculated

once a year. In case of necessity then the

animators/Karyakarthas would re-calculate the same.

3. Approval of Federation: Once the group decides and submit

the application for finance, the same would be presented at the

meeting federation for approval. The committee takes note of the

particulars of loan and if, satisfied, recommends for sanction of

loan.

4. Sanction at Project Office: After the approval of the

federation, the area supervisor pool the applications and makes

his recommendation for the sanction of loan to the Project

Officer. The loan would be sanctioned by the Project Officer upto

his limit on satisfaction of the loan paper an loan would be

released through cheques. The equal monthly installments for

repayment of loan would be intimated to the groups at the time

of release. Once the group receives amount, the same would be

released to the members.

5. Security: SKDRDP do not insist to security to loans below Rs.

50,000/- per member. But, for loans more than Rs. 50,000/-

SKDRDP 49
member, land documents, vehicle/animal hypothecation, LIC

Bonds and other security are insisted.

6. Recovery: SKDRDP provides 60 days time as gestation period

for repayment of loan. The recovery starts from the 2 months

after release of loan to the groups. The group repays loan in

monthly equal installments.

The group recovers loan from the members in weekly

installments. During the meeting day, members pay their

savings, loan installments which are deposited in the groups

bank account.

Sometimes, members avail loan from the groups for shorter

periods than they avail from SKDRDP and rotate the surplus

amount available in their account keeping two installments as

resume.

The loan payment and loan recovery are done through bank

transactions without having scope for hard cash transactions.

7. Book keeping: A lot of training is imparted to the leaders,

members of SHGs on book keeping. Meeting is held at different

member’s houses on weekly basis. The This facilitates rotation of

roles and skill building in everybody.

8 Monitoring: Sevaniratha visits groups every week He insists

weekly report from the group regarding the performance. A

SKDRDP 50
simple report is delivered to the Sevanirathas by the group.

Melvicharaka and Project Officers periodically visit the groups.

Auditors audit the records of the groups annually. Federations

conduct monthly meetings, general body meetings once in three

months in order to review the performance of the groups.

9. Overdue Tracking: For the repayment of the loan, the groups

submit standing instruction to the banks requesting banks to

remit the installment amount to SKDRDP. In the meantime, the

SKDRDP sends a statement in duplicate to the banks having S.B.

account of groups showing the deductions to be made from the

group accounts towards loan repayment. On the basis of the

statement the bank would deduct the amount and send one copy

of the statement to SKDRDP stating the amount remitted to

SKDRDP.

In case of any insufficiency of funds in the group account,

the same is written on the statement and that would be

immediately tackled through the supervisor. Thus, the statement

received from the bank would be a sufficient record for knowing

the cases and over due the necessary steps would be taken to

recover the overdue amount.

SKDRDP’s co-ordination with various Govt. Departments:

ANALYSIS OF SURVEY FINDINGS

SKDRDP 54
Analysis of the survey

The survey as is conducted to study “ the role of

S.K.D.R.D.P. in rural development” , it provides the basic

facility to become self - employed or earn some income.

S.K.D.R.D.P. is entrusted with the responsibility of rural

development in Shimoga district.

Due to many constraints the survey was confined only to

two villages of the district namely Abbalgere and Mathod

were selected on random basis from which ten self-help groups

were from Abbalgere and were from Mathod. Each self-help

group contains 5 members.

The survey was conducted with the objective of

ascertaining the opinion of the self-help groups regarding the role

of S.K.D.R.D.P.

The survey reveals that:

1. Out of 20 self-help groups 40 are educated upto 7 th and 20 up

to SSLC and 10 up to PUC and other 10 are either

diploma or graduates, but I found only 20 uneducated.

2. Out of 20 self-help groups 45 were below 30 years of age

and 50 are between 30-40 years of age and other 5 are

above 40 years.

SKDRDP 55
3. With regard to marital status 75 are married and 20 are

unmarried.

The survey reveals that members belonging to self-help

groups are of younger generation and are mostly female with

challenge to develop themselves and even the industry

whichever they choose .

The following table shows the dispersion of members in

two tables

Interpretation:

The above table shows the members were educated or

otherwise . The analysis of the table reveals that majority

have got the primary education . It is interesting to note no

member is a post graduate , but we can find some with no

formal education. It means it is even income generating for

people with no education.

Interpretation:

The analysis of the table reveals that members get loan

sanctioned earlier from S.K.D.R.D.P. which is far better than the

other banks, thus S.K.D.R.D.P. plays a great role in providing

financial assistance.

 Today, a network of institutions, organisations exists in our

country to develop either entrepreneur or rural

development . S.K.D.R.D.P. is an integral part of this network

functioning in the state of Karnataka especially for

rural development.

 S.K.D.R.D.P. has made a significant contribution to rural

area through the development of entrepreneurship in

Karnataka state.

 Either the rural development or entrepreneurship

development by S.K.D.R.D.P. in Shimoga take the form of

providing financial assistance and conducting training

SKDRDP 61
 programmes to them . However , it plays a commercial role

as well as promotional role.

 A majority of members were in the age group of 30-40

years of age, married and educated up to graduation level.

 Majority of the members under survey were motivated to

turn to entrepreneurship by desire to achieve something in life

and need for independence ie; own internal drives and

ambitions.

 The survey reveals that , the education background has

nothing to do with entrepreneurship most of the

entrepreneurs succeeded are having education between

primary level to matriculation level.

 The members manage majority of the projects

Independently . However , units in the name of women

entrepreneurs are actually managed by self-help groups.

SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION

SKDRDP 63
SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION

Suggestions:

The present role of S.K.D.R.D.P. in Shimoga district

offers a scope for giving few suggestions, as it is going to play a

still major role in the development of entrepreneurship in rural

areas and the up lift-meant of poor section of the society

living below poverty line, thus encouraging rural development in

the coming years . Considering this , a few suggestions based on

survey findings and observations are given below:

 S.K.D.R.D.P. is not running for earning profit like

Commercial banks as its motto is rural development

through entrepreneurship, the rate of interest on loans

should be less than or atleast equal to that of commercial

banks interest.

 Recovery approach should be modified. Enough time

should be given and stringent action against defaulters

should be avoided.

 The survey reveals that more and more amount of loan

should be sanctioned for the rural development in each area.

SKDRDP 64
 S.K.D.R.D.P’s main aim is rural development, therefore it

should provide loans to the members to start any kind of

business of their choice.

 Survey reveals that small entrepreneur face problems in

generating income in initial stages. In view of this, lesser

amount may be fixed as instalment for repayment in the

initial stages.

 The trainings should be so designed that the participants

should get a chance to work and also to see the existing

projects. Skill formation should be an important part of the

programme.

SKDRDP 65
Conclusion:

The study was undertaken with an objective of evaluating

the role of S.K.D.R.D.P. In rural development with special

reference to S.K.D.R.D.P., Shimoga. It has been achieved with the

study of financial assistance provided, promotional and

developmental activities / programmes conducted in Shimoga

district.

The survey revealed that S.K.D.R.D.P. has been successful

to a certain extent in developing certain rural areas in

Shimoga . It has not only provided entrepreneurial opportunities

to the people but also has undertaken many activities for the

development of rural areas. It has provided many effective

training and assistance to the people in developing

entrepreneurial skills among them.

Apart from all these, the main thing to be noticed here is,

here is no sort of cheating either in the minds of people or in

the minds of the staff of the organisation. As the name

itself suggest SHRI KSHETHRA DHARMASTHALA the

spirituality and devotion of god makes people to work with faith

and belief, which is the reason for its rapid growth in all rural

areas.

SKDRDP 66
 Whether people get any benefit from this organisation or

not it is the discipline which is to be appreciated of this

organisation . In the meetings conducted we can see the

women entrepreneurs enriched in Indian traditions i.e., in sarees

and they follow our customs and traditions i.e., lighting the

lamp before starting any programmes or meetings. Thus

S.K.D.R.D.P is not only working towards rural development but

also enriching our country’s customs and traditions.

The study has been successfully evaluated the

performance of S.K.D.R.D.P. in rural development. The

suggestions made on the basis of the findings if

implemented in good faith , would go on a long way in

strengthening the rural areas of Karnataka state in general and

Shimoga district in particular.
