ABSTRACT

Population, Resources and Development are the cause and consequence of each other. Increase in population puts more demand for the resources and services and affects the sustainability of the development. The service delivery systems do influence the distribution of resources over the region and people. The increase in population from 2001 to 2011 is much significant and do not expect corresponding increase in resources in fact they get reduced both quantitatively and qualitatively. The population density is much higher compared to that of average population density of world. The shortage in resources, mad rush towards business oriented development, and luxury living affects the availability Vs demand Vs supply of resources and higher wastage results for several challenges with marginalization and isolation.  The search for better solutions emerged for several opportunities which work for healthy development of the people and environments with better ownership to the local people and communities. The community initiatives and best practices adopted have resulted for better outputs and are simple, replicable, scalable and sustainable matching to the dynamics of the given environment.     

Key Words: Population, Resources, Development, Opportunities, Access, Sustainability, Inclusion, Environments.

Statement of the Problem

The increase in population and shift towards business oriented development demands more resources, services and supports which affects the mission of FOOD for ALL, ACCESS for ALL with poor Quality of Life. 

Recommendations

Based on need and dynamics of the population, resources and development with the targets of the Nation, recommendations made includes:

1. Support for Mapping and development of data base with better access with the support of tools & technologies.
2. Encourage Students for Project and Research works in association with the community.
3. Efforts should be made to control the population with healthy population density with optimization of resources and development.
4. Encourage Non Governmental Organizations to work with the Government and Private on partnership basis for better sharing and distribution of benefits of development over the region and people.
5. Encourage for social auditing with better participation, accountability, responsibility & transparency with ownership.

SUGGESTIONS FOR DIRECT CASH TRANSFER (DCT)

Dear All

The comments and suggestions made on the proposed Direct Cash Transfer (DCT) (see more at: http://www.downtoearth.org.in/content/will-cash-transfer-check-migration) were pasted below as:

............................................................... 

The author has brought the reality of the Direct Cash Transfer(DCT) implemented in various countries. Congratulations to the author for bringing such analysis which heps to understand the consequences in the case of India. Broadly, it is clear that DCT has got limitation in checking the migration. In some case, it may improve the migration.

India is moving with DCT in the selected districts. It is expected that:£ It may create confusion and poor access as the eligibility of having the Adhar Card has not reached every one.

£ The transfer of money to the banks or others not having bank facilities may create some barriers and conflicts.

£ DCT is going to give better results in terms of minimizing the cost of service delivery systems (SDS).

£ If the amount is utilized for developmental activities, then it may result for enhancing resources.

£ It may be used to fund the migration and thus enhances the migration and further consequences.

£ It may become additional burden to the women

£ It may increase the dependency rather than looking for independent channel of livelihoods.

£ It may invite some issues as it is individual orientated rather than the community based,

£ Keep it as People oriented developmental scheme rather than popularity oriented one,  and

£ Like any other schemes, sustainability of DCT is still lingering in the minds of the targeted groups.

In spite of the expectations and challenges as listed above, still scheme can be made effective with:

£ effective measures of monitoring and evaluation at all levels.

£ Better participation of the targeted groups and other stakeholders,

£ Use the Social Auditing Tools for effective reach and utilization,

£ Needs to check the migration as it is one of the key barrier in creating sustainable solutions with quality,

£ Utilize the services of the NGOs and other Civil Society Organizations for better reach and utilization.

...............................................................................

Looking forward for better sharing and reflections so as to make DCT more effective in terms of utilization and change expected....

All the best.
