P a g e | 1
Annual Report
April 2009 to March 2010
Organization Overview:
IDPMS has continued various initiatives started during 2008-2009. During this year,
IDPMS received support from international agencies for the transparency and
accountability projects executed under Project- DARPANA. Study on Absenteeism
among doctors and support staff in Primary Health Care centers was successfully
completed. In addition to this, Budget Tracking and Advocacy project on drug
supply to PHCs supported by IBP has made good progress. Establishing and
consolidating community based micro finance cooperatives –MANINI has continued;
so also the Social Enterprise project of distribution of LED lamps for rural and
urban consumers. Both these projects are implemented from the own sources of
IDPMS.
The performance during the year, the issues addressed and challenges faced are
narrated below.
I. Governance – Project DARPANA
Transparency and Accountability
During the year, IDPMS was awarded a research project through an international
bidding process from Results for Development (R4D) for conducting a field based
research study to estimate absenteeism among doctors and medical support staff
in PHCs in Karnataka. IDPMS conducted studies in30 PHCs in three districts selected
randomly. This diagnostic study would indicate the situation likely to be in other
districts. The study included four unannounced visits to the selected PHCs and
face- to- face interactions with available staff, Focus Group Discussions with staff
members, users and Arogya Raksha Samiti (ARS) members (formed under NRHM
programme). Besides records available at the PHCs like the attendance and
movement registers were studied. The staff population of PHCs was 173,
consisting of 46 doctors, 17 male nurses, 57 female nurses, 24 pharmacists and 29
laboratory technicians. Out of this, 158 staff members were interviewed.
Key findings
At the time of the unannounced visits, 11.6% of staff members were absent one
time, 35.3% were absent two times, 16.8% of staff were absent three times and
20.8% of the staff were absent on all the four occasions.
• Absenteeism was common across all staff categories. Among the absentees, 50%
of the pharmacists were absent twice, followed by doctors- 41.3%, laboratory
technicians -37.9%, male nurse-35.3% and female nurse-22.8%.
Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms
P a g e | 2
• It was more during the beginning of the week (Monday- 65%) as compared to
middle of the week (Thursday-51%).
• Absenteeism was more the in backward district Bidar (64%) as compared to
Shimoga (44%)
• Absenteeism was significantly more (69%) in the morning as compared to the
afternoon (38%). Since most of the staff members travelled from outstations,
either they were absent or came late to the PHCs. Once they arrived, they
continued to stay for the afternoon session as well.
• There is no significant difference between male and female doctors and staff,
with respect to absenteeism rate.
• Out of 158 staff members who were interviewed, 41 reported that they stayed
in official quarters. The study revealed that place of residence does not
influence absenteeism.
• This study has shown that there is no link between age and absenteeism.
Similarly, there is no link between length of service and absenteeism.
• The consequences of absenteeism were manifold. Many of them - 47% said
they suffered from work pressure, followed by deterioration in quality of
treatment and, negligence. With regard to supervision from superior officers,
the study reveals that on majority of the occasions, memos were issued,
salaries were withheld and the matter was referred to higher officers. It was
interesting to note that this response was from doctors regarding their
subordinate staff. It was not clear from the doctors as to whether they were
subjected to frequent inspections and monitoring.
• Arogya Raksha Samiti, formed under the NRHM programme, is mandated to
monitor the functioning of PHCs and manage the untied funds. But in the last
two years, not even once they had discussed the issue of absenteeism. They
said that no action was taken against staff members who were repeatedly
absent.
• There were consequences due to absenteeism. There was wastage of resources
and quality of service was hampered. With a conservative estimate, and
assuming that doctors and other staff only attended to patients without doing
other administrative and extension works, the annual wastage per staff was
117,000 Indian rupees.
Procurement and Distribution of Drugs to PHCs
Another project which was under discussion in 2008 materialized successfully.
Though this study is similar to the one IDPMS did in the previous year, this study
gives more importance to conduct evidenced based advocacy based on the
Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms

research findings. The project also aims to do institution building. Several
workshops were conducted for the selected NGOs from India and IDPMS staff
participated in them. The project is under progress and some of the details are
given below.
The study is done in two districts namely Gadag and Bellary. Two PHCs from each
district are selected. Field research Assistants are recruited and posted in the
districts. Initial data collection from the field is in progress. Drug procurement and
distribution data has to be collected from Karnataka State Warehousing and Drug
Logistics Society.
Overview of NREGA (MGREGA) programmes in Karnataka
This consultancy assignment on ‘Planning and Implementation of NREGA in
Karnataka’. given by National Institute for Rural Development (NIRD), Hyderabad
was completed and submitted.
Brief description of the study-
The study was conducted in three districts namely Hassan,
Raichur and Gulbarga. Two districts viz. Raichur, Gulbarga
which belong to the most backward districts in the state
were from the first phase NREGA while Hassan district
which is relatively forward is included under NREGA during
the second phase. From each of the three districts, two
taluks (blocks) were selected in consultation with district officials of the
respective ZP. Selections of the blocks are mainly done considering the NREGA
work progress as well as the distance of the block from the district headquarters.
From each of these six taluks, one Gram Panchayat was selected as per the choice
of the programme officers of the concerned Taluk. Information was collected from
laboures who worked in NREGA, farmers in that area and the officials and elected
representatives at District, Taluk and Panchayat level through structured
questionnaire. The study focused on the awareness about the various entitlement
of NREGA among the villagers like job card, wages, types of works etc, impact of
the works taken under NREGA etc.
NREGA is just not about income and employment generation. Apart from providing
wages for the work done, it is intended to several other indirect benefits to the
workers and community like arresting or minimizing distress migration, using the
potential of underemployed men and women who are unskilled, asset creation in
the village and above all ecological regeneration of the
villages. NREGA has also huge potential of reviving the
economy of Indian villages if it is properly implemented. By
this, it is envisaged to have land development, regenerating
the water bodies, recharging the ground water and finally
the water available for both consumption and productive
purposes.
Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms
P a g e | 4
Key findings of the study-
(i)Awareness :
Except for the knowledge about 100 days guaranteed employment, awareness
about remaining entitlements is very low across all the three districts. Awareness
about entitlements like extra wages to be paid if the work is given beyond 5kms, is
nil among workers. Awareness about the social audit and village monitoring
committee is not sufficient. In some places officials themselves are not having a
clear idea about how to go about the social audits nor have they conducted social
audits / facilitated to conduct. There is a need for the training in this regard.
In all the Grama Panchayts visited, REGS information is displayed on the walls. But
workers knowledge about them is poor which could be partly due to illiteracy. Also
about 50% of them interviewed are women who are generally not so much mobile
where they might not have come to GP. In such cases, innovative methods to
reach these target audiences are though apart from the display on the walls of
panchayats.
(ii)Registration and issue of Job cards
Some of them, who really wanted the job, neither know that they had to apply and
get their job nor local officials told them. Awareness about seeking employment is
poor. Employment in most of the villages is supply driven rather than demand
driven
There is a need to have a separate intensive awareness campaigns with
innovative methods like street play, attractive awareness materials, film show etc
may be needed such that message remain with the people.
During the visit, in few cases it is noticed that, single members’ name appeared in
two job cards For example: If mother-in-law and husband are having separate job
cards, daughter in law’s name appear in both the cards. There is a need to conduct
a separate fresh survey to update new people who are not included as well as
eliminate duplication. There is also a need to make a separate list of
people/families that regularly go on migration to faraway places and also special
focus is needed to bring them into REGS fold.
(iii) Capacity Building-
Many times, workers do not have clarity on how much wages they are entitled for
certain number of days’ work. The amount mentioned in the pass book and what
they say does not match. Clarity about measurement of piece work is needed for
both workers and officials. This will bring mutual trust and respect among the
workers and officials and people are empowered to join these works for the
betterment of their village.
Repeated training for all the elected representatives and concerned officials are
needed for them to execute the work effectively.
Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms
P a g e | 5
(iv) Implementation Process:-
Even though, excellent work is being done in many cases, it is more seen as asset
creation/target reaching/ etc. In the bargain, social empowerment is being
slightly sidelined. In this process, involving people who are in dire need of
employment is ignored.
One of the discouraging factors for some of the deserving people opting out of
NREGS is delayed payment. Speedy mechanisms like use of IT in measurement may
be thought of. Also, it should be seen that there are enough number of staff to
make measurement and certify the works.
Many times stringent rules will hamper the progress of the work. For example, in
case of forest nursery, by the time they get trained in various aspects of the
nursery management, their period of 100 days would be over. To get another batch
and train they would require time and effort. Moreover, women who are very
nearby to the nursery site would be ideal. Depending on the need and
appropriateness, the 100 days’ duration may be relaxed.
(v)Transparency Measures
Both elected representatives and officials need to be thorough with the process of
social audits and VMCs. Also these social audit needs to be conducted regularly
involving all the stake holders.
II. Livelihood Programmes
MANINI
Mahila Nirantara Nidhi-MANINI is a community based micro finance programme
promoted by IDPMS. At present MANINI is promoted in two districts of Karnataka
namely Bellary and Gadag. Through this
programme, women are trained to run the MANINI
cooperatives. They are taught about the rules and
regulations as per Karnataka Souharda Act and also
maintenance of accounts. Women started one
MANINI Cooperative at Kottur in Bellary district
and one at Bellatti (Laxmeswar) in Gadag district.
While the MANINI at Bellatti (Gadag) has stepped
into third year of operation MANINI at Kottur stepped into second year of
operations. The other cooperative at Laxmeswar is yet to get its registration.
Progress made so far by the two cooperatives is given below.

Bank Balance 52,383 2,610 67,490 17,837
The progress could have been better if both the cooperatives had financial
support. Both of them have operated using their own financial resources. In order
to reach scale and size, MANINI has plans to build the institution and employ
professional persons. Besides they have plans to approach NABARD for financial
support. However they have received training inputs from expert resource persons
and also from the Karnataka Souharda Cooperative Union.
Traning programmes conducted
Two training programmes were conducted for MANINI board
members on organization development and Souharda rules
and regulations, records maintenance, basics of accounting
procedure, etc., during the month of May and June 2009.
The training was conducted by our resource persons and
also support from Karnataka State Souharda Federal
Cooperative.
Aggressive marketing and outreach by several micro finance organizations both
from within the state and outside has continued. As a consequence, some of our
SHG members have taken loan from them as they were not able to get the required
loan amount from MANINI especially in Gadag. Some of the women who had taken
loans shared their experience with the MANINI Board members. They felt the
pressure for repayment was always there and it brought many a times disquieting
moments in their families. Some of them have decided to stop their business with
those MFIs and come back to MANINI. MANINI have started village outreach
activities to bring awareness among the members.
As IDPMS intends to promote community owned model, irrespective of spread and
growth, women will learn to save and lend their funds under a legal organisation
which they own and govern.
In the coming year IDPMS intends to have series of capacity building programmes
with the support of the Souharda Sahakari Union and also build a MIS for better
functioning

Presently IDPMS has SHG records as follows:
Self-Help Groups:
District No.of Groups
Gadag 407
Bellary 404
Chamarajanagar 174
Total 985
There has been a marginal decrease in the number groups covered as compared to
the previous year. As mentioned earlier, due to competition among micro finance
institutions and other interventions in rural lending, self help groups tend to be
members in different groups and avail loan from more than one source.
Approximately 12000 rural families have been covered by these SHGs. The
cumulative savings of all groups together exceeds Rs 186 lakhs. From this amount
individual loans, totaling more than Rs 121 lakhs, have been advanced to
members. Besides, SHGs have accessed loans from banks totaling Rs 87.50 lakhs.
Of these, 70 % is for consumption purposes and the remaining 30 % is for enterprise
activities. The rate of recovery is more than 95%. It is proposed to bring them
under the MANINI cooperatives
Cluster Development Programme
Under the ‘aarambh project IDPMS has established a rural artisan cluster. In order
to have scale and size in operation, it was proposed to establish a producer
company under the Companies Act. This was suggested by NABARD. They had also
promised to provide financial support. After discussing with chartered accountants
who have experience in establishing such companies, this proposal has been
dropped as the Act has various limitations. They suggested forming a private
limited company which has scope to receive external investment and borrow from
financial institutions.
Several enquiries have been received for supply of fibre as well as finished
products. In the absence of a proper institutional mechanism and working capital
support, progress has not been possible in this front.
Energy-Community based LED Home Lighting programme: Project-BELAKU
As a social enterprise initiative, IDPMS started a pilot project in Bellary district for
community based distribution and maintenance of various energy solutions. Besides IDPMS
has been informally marketing these alternate lighting systems in urban areas through
informal channels, mostly on word of mouth. Though it received good responses across all
the customers, to launch it on a business model it requires both human and capital
investment.

III. Government-supported Projects:
SUJALA Watershed Project-Savanur, Haveri District:
This project has addressed the issues of promoting effective ownership through
community involvement in planning the project activities, developing methods for
voluntary contribution by beneficiaries, managing and maintaining their assets in
the long term.
Social mobilization and group formation effort was done by IDPMS. During the
period IDPMS covered several activities like; creating awareness about the project
and its key objectives, development and conservation of natural resources among
the village community, organizing community into Area Groups, Vulnerable
families(SHGs), Sujala watershed sanghas through proper processes, capacity
building through training, exposure and regular interactions, development of
micro-watershed plans, assisting EC in implementation, carry out PRA to
understand village dynamics, identifying sujala target groups, identifying entry
point activity using PRA, CBO related documentation. This project has completed
successfully during 2009.
Income Generation Activities / Microenterprise project under SUJALA Water
Project, Govt.,of Karnataka-World Bank-aided
IDPMS was selected as specialist agency to implement
Income Generation Activities in Madhugiri taluk, Tumkur
District. IDPMS contributed significantly with the
participation of people, especially women and socio-
economically vulnerable groups. A special emphasis was
given for building the capacity of the participating
community to take responsibility for maintaining the assets generated under this
project. The value of the assignment was Rs 4.6 millions. About 1000 persons were
been covered under this programme through capacity
building programmes for income generation activities. Of
these, about 300 persons went through a skill-based
enterprise development programme. A few new types of
activities were introduced. Trained persons were linked
to the local banks for financial assistance. The trained
persons from 83 Self Help Groups got loan assistance of
Rs.7.5 million. An equal amount of revolving fund was
provided to the beneficiaries. The project ended in March 2010.

The Governing Council acknowledges the funding and technical support received
from Results for Development, International Budget Partners for its Governance
and Advocacy Projects. IDPMS wishes to acknowledge the technical and financial
support received from Centre for Budget and Policy Studies for the Governance
and Advocacy Projects. Besides CBPS has been inviting IDPMS for workshops and
internal discussions conducted by them with regard to local budgets and
governance issues. IDPMS wishes to place on record this collaborative effort which
helps in institution building. IDPMS also acknowledges the support received from
Government of Karnataka for the income generation project under the SUJALA
watershed project. To a small extent corporate have also supported IDPMS WE also
thank them
VIII. Way forward
It is gratifying to say that IDPMS has consolidated the initiatives started during the
previous year on addressing on issue concerning transparency and accountability
especially in delivery of public services. IDPMS has gained experience and insights
with regard to delivery of primary health services in rural parts of Karnataka.
However, in order to influence the policy makers, it is necessary to use the field
research outcomes as evidences and conduct appropriate advocacy activities.
IDPMS intends to focus on developing expertise in communication and advocacy
within the organization. IDPMS has initiated discussions with competent resource
persons and also with national and international organizations. IDPMS intends to
publish advocacy materials during the next financial year which can be used as a
tool for building the users of public services as well as service delivery
organizations and policy makers. However, efforts will be made to conduct studies
in transparency and accountability issues in other sectors like primary education
and supply of drinking water.
Another area of focus is the Social enterprise sector. From its past experience on
promotion of livelihood activities, IDPMS during the recent years has gained
experience in promotion of social enterprises which are gaining popularity and
relevance in the changing political and economic scenario around the globe. IDPMS
has made a few initial attempts in delivery of public services and also in the area
of climate change. IDPMS feels this could be another area of concentration and
future growth. Of course these ventures need suitable institutional frame work
under the existing laws of the country. Equally important is to garner financial
support as size and scale matters. IDPMS intends to focus on this sector during the
coming years.
As a field based organization, IDPMS will continue to expand its field activities in
respect of forming community collectives and develop them as main actors in
growth and development.

Idpms annual report 10

  • 1. Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms P a g e | 1 Annual Report April 2009 to March 2010 Organization Overview: IDPMS has continued various initiatives started during 2008-2009. During this year, IDPMS received support from international agencies for the transparency and accountability projects executed under Project- DARPANA. Study on Absenteeism among doctors and support staff in Primary Health Care centers was successfully completed. In addition to this, Budget Tracking and Advocacy project on drug supply to PHCs supported by IBP has made good progress. Establishing and consolidating community based micro finance cooperatives –MANINI has continued; so also the Social Enterprise project of distribution of LED lamps for rural and urban consumers. Both these projects are implemented from the own sources of IDPMS. The performance during the year, the issues addressed and challenges faced are narrated below. I. Governance – Project DARPANA Transparency and Accountability During the year, IDPMS was awarded a research project through an international bidding process from Results for Development (R4D) for conducting a field based research study to estimate absenteeism among doctors and medical support staff in PHCs in Karnataka. IDPMS conducted studies in30 PHCs in three districts selected randomly. This diagnostic study would indicate the situation likely to be in other districts. The study included four unannounced visits to the selected PHCs and face- to- face interactions with available staff, Focus Group Discussions with staff members, users and Arogya Raksha Samiti (ARS) members (formed under NRHM programme). Besides records available at the PHCs like the attendance and movement registers were studied. The staff population of PHCs was 173, consisting of 46 doctors, 17 male nurses, 57 female nurses, 24 pharmacists and 29 laboratory technicians. Out of this, 158 staff members were interviewed. Key findings At the time of the unannounced visits, 11.6% of staff members were absent one time, 35.3% were absent two times, 16.8% of staff were absent three times and 20.8% of the staff were absent on all the four occasions. • Absenteeism was common across all staff categories. Among the absentees, 50% of the pharmacists were absent twice, followed by doctors- 41.3%, laboratory technicians -37.9%, male nurse-35.3% and female nurse-22.8%.
  • 2. Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms P a g e | 2 • It was more during the beginning of the week (Monday- 65%) as compared to middle of the week (Thursday-51%). • Absenteeism was more the in backward district Bidar (64%) as compared to Shimoga (44%) • Absenteeism was significantly more (69%) in the morning as compared to the afternoon (38%). Since most of the staff members travelled from outstations, either they were absent or came late to the PHCs. Once they arrived, they continued to stay for the afternoon session as well. • There is no significant difference between male and female doctors and staff, with respect to absenteeism rate. • Out of 158 staff members who were interviewed, 41 reported that they stayed in official quarters. The study revealed that place of residence does not influence absenteeism. • This study has shown that there is no link between age and absenteeism. Similarly, there is no link between length of service and absenteeism. • The consequences of absenteeism were manifold. Many of them - 47% said they suffered from work pressure, followed by deterioration in quality of treatment and, negligence. With regard to supervision from superior officers, the study reveals that on majority of the occasions, memos were issued, salaries were withheld and the matter was referred to higher officers. It was interesting to note that this response was from doctors regarding their subordinate staff. It was not clear from the doctors as to whether they were subjected to frequent inspections and monitoring. • Arogya Raksha Samiti, formed under the NRHM programme, is mandated to monitor the functioning of PHCs and manage the untied funds. But in the last two years, not even once they had discussed the issue of absenteeism. They said that no action was taken against staff members who were repeatedly absent. • There were consequences due to absenteeism. There was wastage of resources and quality of service was hampered. With a conservative estimate, and assuming that doctors and other staff only attended to patients without doing other administrative and extension works, the annual wastage per staff was 117,000 Indian rupees. Procurement and Distribution of Drugs to PHCs Another project which was under discussion in 2008 materialized successfully. Though this study is similar to the one IDPMS did in the previous year, this study gives more importance to conduct evidenced based advocacy based on the
  • 3. Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms P a g e | 3 research findings. The project also aims to do institution building. Several workshops were conducted for the selected NGOs from India and IDPMS staff participated in them. The project is under progress and some of the details are given below. The study is done in two districts namely Gadag and Bellary. Two PHCs from each district are selected. Field research Assistants are recruited and posted in the districts. Initial data collection from the field is in progress. Drug procurement and distribution data has to be collected from Karnataka State Warehousing and Drug Logistics Society. Overview of NREGA (MGREGA) programmes in Karnataka This consultancy assignment on ‘Planning and Implementation of NREGA in Karnataka’. given by National Institute for Rural Development (NIRD), Hyderabad was completed and submitted. Brief description of the study- The study was conducted in three districts namely Hassan, Raichur and Gulbarga. Two districts viz. Raichur, Gulbarga which belong to the most backward districts in the state were from the first phase NREGA while Hassan district which is relatively forward is included under NREGA during the second phase. From each of the three districts, two taluks (blocks) were selected in consultation with district officials of the respective ZP. Selections of the blocks are mainly done considering the NREGA work progress as well as the distance of the block from the district headquarters. From each of these six taluks, one Gram Panchayat was selected as per the choice of the programme officers of the concerned Taluk. Information was collected from laboures who worked in NREGA, farmers in that area and the officials and elected representatives at District, Taluk and Panchayat level through structured questionnaire. The study focused on the awareness about the various entitlement of NREGA among the villagers like job card, wages, types of works etc, impact of the works taken under NREGA etc. NREGA is just not about income and employment generation. Apart from providing wages for the work done, it is intended to several other indirect benefits to the workers and community like arresting or minimizing distress migration, using the potential of underemployed men and women who are unskilled, asset creation in the village and above all ecological regeneration of the villages. NREGA has also huge potential of reviving the economy of Indian villages if it is properly implemented. By this, it is envisaged to have land development, regenerating the water bodies, recharging the ground water and finally the water available for both consumption and productive purposes.
  • 4. Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms P a g e | 4 Key findings of the study- (i)Awareness : Except for the knowledge about 100 days guaranteed employment, awareness about remaining entitlements is very low across all the three districts. Awareness about entitlements like extra wages to be paid if the work is given beyond 5kms, is nil among workers. Awareness about the social audit and village monitoring committee is not sufficient. In some places officials themselves are not having a clear idea about how to go about the social audits nor have they conducted social audits / facilitated to conduct. There is a need for the training in this regard. In all the Grama Panchayts visited, REGS information is displayed on the walls. But workers knowledge about them is poor which could be partly due to illiteracy. Also about 50% of them interviewed are women who are generally not so much mobile where they might not have come to GP. In such cases, innovative methods to reach these target audiences are though apart from the display on the walls of panchayats. (ii)Registration and issue of Job cards Some of them, who really wanted the job, neither know that they had to apply and get their job nor local officials told them. Awareness about seeking employment is poor. Employment in most of the villages is supply driven rather than demand driven There is a need to have a separate intensive awareness campaigns with innovative methods like street play, attractive awareness materials, film show etc may be needed such that message remain with the people. During the visit, in few cases it is noticed that, single members’ name appeared in two job cards For example: If mother-in-law and husband are having separate job cards, daughter in law’s name appear in both the cards. There is a need to conduct a separate fresh survey to update new people who are not included as well as eliminate duplication. There is also a need to make a separate list of people/families that regularly go on migration to faraway places and also special focus is needed to bring them into REGS fold. (iii) Capacity Building- Many times, workers do not have clarity on how much wages they are entitled for certain number of days’ work. The amount mentioned in the pass book and what they say does not match. Clarity about measurement of piece work is needed for both workers and officials. This will bring mutual trust and respect among the workers and officials and people are empowered to join these works for the betterment of their village. Repeated training for all the elected representatives and concerned officials are needed for them to execute the work effectively.
  • 5. Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms P a g e | 5 (iv) Implementation Process:- Even though, excellent work is being done in many cases, it is more seen as asset creation/target reaching/ etc. In the bargain, social empowerment is being slightly sidelined. In this process, involving people who are in dire need of employment is ignored. One of the discouraging factors for some of the deserving people opting out of NREGS is delayed payment. Speedy mechanisms like use of IT in measurement may be thought of. Also, it should be seen that there are enough number of staff to make measurement and certify the works. Many times stringent rules will hamper the progress of the work. For example, in case of forest nursery, by the time they get trained in various aspects of the nursery management, their period of 100 days would be over. To get another batch and train they would require time and effort. Moreover, women who are very nearby to the nursery site would be ideal. Depending on the need and appropriateness, the 100 days’ duration may be relaxed. (v)Transparency Measures Both elected representatives and officials need to be thorough with the process of social audits and VMCs. Also these social audit needs to be conducted regularly involving all the stake holders. II. Livelihood Programmes MANINI Mahila Nirantara Nidhi-MANINI is a community based micro finance programme promoted by IDPMS. At present MANINI is promoted in two districts of Karnataka namely Bellary and Gadag. Through this programme, women are trained to run the MANINI cooperatives. They are taught about the rules and regulations as per Karnataka Souharda Act and also maintenance of accounts. Women started one MANINI Cooperative at Kottur in Bellary district and one at Bellatti (Laxmeswar) in Gadag district. While the MANINI at Bellatti (Gadag) has stepped into third year of operation MANINI at Kottur stepped into second year of operations. The other cooperative at Laxmeswar is yet to get its registration. Progress made so far by the two cooperatives is given below.
  • 6. Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms P a g e | 6 MANINI Cooperative financial statement Particulars 2010 2009 Bellatti Gadag Kottur Bellary Bellatti Gadag Kottur Bellary Membership 584 466 647 680 Share Capital 1,31,300 1,34,800 1,43,885 1,36,000 Savings 79,295 1,96,903 91,220 2,29,151 Loan paid 2,76,821 3,55,415 3,75,894 7,53,978 Loan recovery 1,33,667 1,99,200 1,76,821 3,98,885 Surplus 21,626 19,322 9,206 9,313 Bank Balance 52,383 2,610 67,490 17,837 The progress could have been better if both the cooperatives had financial support. Both of them have operated using their own financial resources. In order to reach scale and size, MANINI has plans to build the institution and employ professional persons. Besides they have plans to approach NABARD for financial support. However they have received training inputs from expert resource persons and also from the Karnataka Souharda Cooperative Union. Traning programmes conducted Two training programmes were conducted for MANINI board members on organization development and Souharda rules and regulations, records maintenance, basics of accounting procedure, etc., during the month of May and June 2009. The training was conducted by our resource persons and also support from Karnataka State Souharda Federal Cooperative. Aggressive marketing and outreach by several micro finance organizations both from within the state and outside has continued. As a consequence, some of our SHG members have taken loan from them as they were not able to get the required loan amount from MANINI especially in Gadag. Some of the women who had taken loans shared their experience with the MANINI Board members. They felt the pressure for repayment was always there and it brought many a times disquieting moments in their families. Some of them have decided to stop their business with those MFIs and come back to MANINI. MANINI have started village outreach activities to bring awareness among the members. As IDPMS intends to promote community owned model, irrespective of spread and growth, women will learn to save and lend their funds under a legal organisation which they own and govern. In the coming year IDPMS intends to have series of capacity building programmes with the support of the Souharda Sahakari Union and also build a MIS for better functioning
  • 7. Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms P a g e | 7 Presently IDPMS has SHG records as follows: Self-Help Groups: District No.of Groups Gadag 407 Bellary 404 Chamarajanagar 174 Total 985 There has been a marginal decrease in the number groups covered as compared to the previous year. As mentioned earlier, due to competition among micro finance institutions and other interventions in rural lending, self help groups tend to be members in different groups and avail loan from more than one source. Approximately 12000 rural families have been covered by these SHGs. The cumulative savings of all groups together exceeds Rs 186 lakhs. From this amount individual loans, totaling more than Rs 121 lakhs, have been advanced to members. Besides, SHGs have accessed loans from banks totaling Rs 87.50 lakhs. Of these, 70 % is for consumption purposes and the remaining 30 % is for enterprise activities. The rate of recovery is more than 95%. It is proposed to bring them under the MANINI cooperatives Cluster Development Programme Under the ‘aarambh project IDPMS has established a rural artisan cluster. In order to have scale and size in operation, it was proposed to establish a producer company under the Companies Act. This was suggested by NABARD. They had also promised to provide financial support. After discussing with chartered accountants who have experience in establishing such companies, this proposal has been dropped as the Act has various limitations. They suggested forming a private limited company which has scope to receive external investment and borrow from financial institutions. Several enquiries have been received for supply of fibre as well as finished products. In the absence of a proper institutional mechanism and working capital support, progress has not been possible in this front. Energy-Community based LED Home Lighting programme: Project-BELAKU As a social enterprise initiative, IDPMS started a pilot project in Bellary district for community based distribution and maintenance of various energy solutions. Besides IDPMS has been informally marketing these alternate lighting systems in urban areas through informal channels, mostly on word of mouth. Though it received good responses across all the customers, to launch it on a business model it requires both human and capital investment.
  • 8. Annual Report –March 2010 - iDpms P a g e | 8 III. Government-supported Projects: SUJALA Watershed Project-Savanur, Haveri District: This project has addressed the issues of promoting effective ownership through community involvement in planning the project activities, developing methods for voluntary contribution by beneficiaries, managing and maintaining their assets in the long term. Social mobilization and group formation effort was done by IDPMS.

To a small extent corporate have also supported IDPMS WE also thank them VIII. Way forward It is gratifying to say that IDPMS has consolidated the initiatives started during the previous year on addressing on issue concerning transparency and accountability especially in delivery of public services. IDPMS has gained experience and insights with regard to delivery of primary health services in rural parts of Karnataka. However, in order to influence the policy makers, it is necessary to use the field research outcomes as evidences and conduct appropriate advocacy activities. IDPMS intends to focus on developing expertise in communication and advocacy within the organization. IDPMS has initiated discussions with competent resource persons and also with national and international organizations. IDPMS intends to publish advocacy materials during the next financial year which can be used as a tool for building the users of public services as well as service delivery organizations and policy makers. However, efforts will be made to conduct studies in transparency and accountability issues in other sectors like primary education and supply of drinking water. Another area of focus is the Social enterprise sector. From its past experience on promotion of livelihood activities, IDPMS during the recent years has gained experience in promotion of social enterprises which are gaining popularity and relevance in the changing political and economic scenario around the globe. IDPMS has made a few initial attempts in delivery of public services and also in the area of climate change. IDPMS feels this could be another area of concentration and future growth. Of course these ventures need suitable institutional frame work under the existing laws of the country. Equally important is to garner financial support as size and scale matters. IDPMS intends to focus on this sector during the coming years. As a field based organization, IDPMS will continue to expand its field activities in respect of forming community collectives and develop them as main actors in growth and development.
