2
Brief summary of the sector wise interventions proposed is as under:Agriculture:
In order to retain agriculture (7.86 lakh hec) economically viable and sustainable, it is necessary to diversify
the cropping pattern, which is at present heavily tilted towards soyabean (3.2 lakh hec), cotton (1.96 Lakh hec) and
gram (1.1 Lakh hec). At the same time the productivity of the major crops have saturated or decreased in recent
years due to repeated cultivation over a longer period. As the agricultural lands are fertile and agro-climatic
conditions favourable, we will motivate the farmers to diversify the cropping pattern to include vegetables,
floriculture, medicinal crops , horticulture and cash cropsand adoption of environment friendly productivity
enhancing technology, a diversified and commercialized farming activities which is less vulnerable to agronomic
condition and market risks.
Irrigation:
Amravati District has created irrigation potential of 2.49 Lakh hec (31% of cultivable area) under irrigation
through various sources major, medium and minor irrigation projects, lift irrigation projects, K.T. Weirs, wells,
tubewells etc. However, utilization of the irrigation potential is only around 1.51 Lakh hectares (60% of total
created). Therefore emphasis would be laid on completion of the irrigation projects expeditiously. There are 16
irrigation projects which are completed above 75% and there are 10 projects where the dam is completed but the
distribution channels are yet to be constructed. The land acquisition as well as rehabilitation of affected families
would be carried out in mission mode.
The flagship program of the State Government “Jalayukt ShivarYojana“would be implemented in all 1981
villages in years to eradicate acute water scarcity and to make the water budget of every village surplus. Under the
program, the focus would be on the water conservation through creating decentralised water bodies like check
dams, nallha deepening, renewing existing percolation tanks, cement plugs etc. Farmers would be induced to shift
from surface irrigation to modern techniques like drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation to improve the efficiency of
irrigation facilities.
Animal Husbandry:
The district has livestock of 9,97,977 and 4,32,037 poultry. The district has three sub-regions depending
upon agro-climatic conditions to conduct livestock activities – Melghat, Saline track and Non-Saline track. Melghat
region is suitable for dairy farming, fodder development and poultry while the saline track is more suitable for goat
farming. The economic potential of animal husbandry is yet to be realized due to low yielding livestock, insufficient
veterinary infrastructure and lack of organized procurement and processing facilities. There is a need to improve the
breeds through Artificial Insemination. Fodder cultivation shall be taken up on large scale by involving forest
department, development of pasture grasses like stylo, plantation of fodder tress on boundaries of agricultural land.
Fodder banks would be established to provide dry hay fodder to the cattle owners. Mobile veterinary clinics service
3
shall be introduced with fully equipped clinic and one veterinarian and two animal health technicians. This will help
in developing cluster of livestock enterprises in each taluka of the district. Milk producers’ societies would be
rejuvenated and linked with the milk collection and marketing chains.
Fisheries:
The district has about 10,219 Ha of water area suitable for fisheries but the annual fish production is only
5658 MT which is far below the productivity standards. Availability of quality Fish seed is one of the essential inputs
for fish farm production. For this purpose, the abandoned fish seed production center at Simbhora will be renewed,
the fish seed growing centers would be strengthened to ensure stocking of quality fingerlings. There is necessity of
renovation of all GP Tanks and construction of additional Farm ponds to promote pisiculture activities in the district,
especially in the hilly areas of Melghat.De-siltation and de-weeding of tanks, biological and manual control methods
to address infiltration of tanks and making them suitable for promoting inland fishing. Revival of existing fish
farmer’s development societies and establish linkages with banks and other micro financial institutions for accessing
credit on par with agriculture will be taken up. Modernization of fishing boats, adoption of appropriate mesh sizes
and enforcement of fishing ban during breeding season shall be enforced.
Forest and Tribal Welfare:
Amravati has the distinction of having one third of its geographical areas under forest cover amounting to
about 3.96 lakh hectare area. The district is fairly rich as far as resources are concerned. The major and minor forest
production of the district is found in good quantity. Till date, 2237 tribal families and 408 non-tribal families i.e.
2645 families have submitted claims for allotment of forest land under the Forest Rights Act. Melghat Tiger Reserve
has tremendous potential for Eco-tourism. There is a need to increase the forest cover on forest land through
planting of additional trees and promoting vegetation and undergrowth. Planting of more trees outside forest land
in rural and urban areas especially on community parks, along roads, canals, etc. For forest dwellers, the efforts
would be taken to reducing shifting cultivation through provision of alternate employment opportunities to the
tribes and promotion of collection and marketing for sustainable use of forest resources along with value addition of
forest products and pass on the share of income accruing to primary collectors.
In tribal areas of Melghat, the emphasis would be on create infrastructure such as housing, drinking water facilities,
hospitals, schools etc. and improve accessibility to the institutional services, to streamline the education in Ashram
schools and skill promotion for gainful employment and productive use of human capital through vocational training
centers. Necessary infrastructure, road connectivity and communication network shall be strengthened to enable
proper reach of services in Tribal areas.
Drinking water and sanitation:
Amravati district has 1615 notified villages out of which 1506 habitations are covered under rural piped water
supply services. There are 1131 individual schemes out of which 1102 schemes are functional. The district also has 7
4
Regional Rural Schemes which covers 440 Rural habitation out of which 3 schemes are based on gravity. There is a
need to ensure provision of safe drinking water facilities in all habitations of the district. Action plan has been
prepared for overage of 100% Urban households and 50% of Rural households with Tap water connection. The
repairs and maintenance of all existing water sources including bore well and open wells will be taken up with active
community involvement. Due to large tracts of saline belt in the district, emphasis is also given on improvement of
water quality standards for safe drinking water.
Out of total 4,09,579 households in the district, 3,71,013 households (1,92,616 in rural areas and 1,78,397 in
urban areas) are having sanitation facilities. Under Swaccha Bharat program, action plan has been prepared to
provide latrine facilities in all households by 2019.
Education:
Amravati district is well known for its educational facilities. The district gets inspiration from its great sons
ShriGadage Baba, Saint TukadojiMaharaj, and Dr. PanjabraoDeshmukh who brought about a revolution in the field
of education. It is ranked 4 in terms of literacy rate out of total 35 districts of Maharashtra and 131 out of total 640
districts of India. There are 5,46,614 students enrolled in Class I to Class XII of 2764 schools in the district. There are
51,797 students However, the government run schools are facing several problems like most of the schools buildings
do not have proper infrastructure, shortage of subject teachers at high school level, poor coordination between
teachers, PRI members and parents and lack of accountability mechanisms of teachers towards performance of the
students. Action plan has been prepared to overcome the challenges in a time bound manner in addition to provide
opportunities for vocational educational courses linked with the job opportunities in the industry and market.
Sports:
The state govt. is trying to provide more & more facilities for the promotion of sports. Recently the sports
department has been attached to the education department so as to bring the school going children in the
mainstream. In Amravati district, Divisional Sports Complex has been established in 2009 with facilities of Lawn
Tennis Court-1, Skating Rink-1, Basket Ball Court-2, Kabddi Court-2, Kho-Kho Court-2, Volleyball Court – 2, Indoor
game hall, Badminton, Judo, Wrestling, Shooting etc. Regular organization of various tournaments at taluka and
district levels, provision of vyayam shaalas to the Gram Panchayats and provision of equipments, financial assistance
to run the sports academy and awarding the achievers in various sports is conducted regularly. . In next five years,
the target is to set up 14 taluka level sports complexes and 102 playgrounds in the district. Amravati has nationally
recognized and renowned sporting organization Hanuman Vyayam Prasarak Mandalti. There is an endeavour to
promote sport as a career among the youths in district and also to bring professional attitudes and practices in sport
administration and authority.
5
Health Services:
There are 49 Primary Health Centers, 318 Health Sub Centres along with 48 Ayurvedic dispensaries which are
providing primary health care in the rural areas of the district. The major concern is to provide the public health
services in the two Talukas of Melghat - Dharni and Chikhaldara. There has been a gradual improvement in the
health indicators in Melghat region over last 3 years even though the indicators are poor compared to other Talukas
in the district. The Infant Mortality Rate has decreased from 48 per thousand to 37 per thousand, the Child Mortality
Rate has decreased from 13 per thousand to 9 per and the Maternal Mortality has decreased from 2.33 to 2.19 per
thousand and at the same time, the percentage of institutional deliveries has increased from 54% to 65% during last
3 years. However, there are several challenges like posting of only one MBBS Medical Officer at the PHC level, lack of
specialists in Gynecology and Pediatrics. The district administration has set the target of reduction of infant
mortality rate (IMR) to 25, to achieve total fertility rate (TFR)UP TO 2, 100% institution delivery, to maintain birth
rate to be static or less than 15.00 and to achieve substantial reduction in malnutrition in Melghat.
Power:
The district has 5,83,752 electric connections with 1120 MW per hour power consumption, while the
residential 35%, agricultural 29% industrial 12% and commercial 7% only. Out of 1681 villages, 1663 villages have
been electrified and only 18 villages in Melghat area are outside the power network. A separate power line is being
laid from Hiwarkhed to Dharni to stabilize the power availability in the hilly region. In the near future the wind
turbines shall be planned in Chikhaldara and Melghat to generate electricity. We will undertake the widespread
canvassing programmes for the use of solar, bio- fuel, gas system for household electrification to reduce pressure on
conventional power demand.
Road, Railway and Air Connectivity:
Amravati district is served by about 8183.48 km of road network including national highways, Major State
Highway, state highways, Major district roads, Other District Road and village roads.NH-6 (Surat to Kolkata ) Passes
through the district and acts as the truck route connecting Amravati with other important cities of the country. In
the next five years, the target is to widen 3.75 m wide road into 5.50 m wide state highway, to connect Taluka
Headquarters with District Headquarter with two lane road, to connect the outer villages of Melghat Tiger Project
with tar road, improvement of inner Kaccha road network of Melghat Tiger Project for transportation, widen the
road network connecting to the tourist places, pilgrimage, and other important places, proposal for new National
highway through Pandharkawada, Yawatmal, Amravati, Kathora, Chandur Bazar, Ghatladki, Baitul, construction of
road from Achalpur, Chandur Bazar, Morshi and Warud and improvement of Belora Airport connecting road
In railways, Amravati district is having stretch of 92.19 Kms. of Broad Gauge line passing through the major cities
and 38.78 Kms. & 64 Kms. Meter Gauge and Narrow gauge respectively lines passing through Achalpur and Dharni
Sub Division, which is being upgraded into broad-gauge. Railway Wagon Repair factory is expected to be established
6
shortly at Amravati. The Belora airport is being upgraded by the Airport Authority of India after completion of basic
infrastructure facilities by Maharashtra Airport Development Company.
Tourism:
Amravati district has rich culture and heritage, variety of landscapes, lifestyles and cuisines, rich tradition in
handicrafts and colorful fairs and festivals. There is Chikhaldara Wildlife Sanctuary , Gugarnal National Park, Melghat
Tiger Reserve, Gavilgarh Fort , historical places of Kaundanyapur, Riddhapur, birthplaces of Sant Tukdoji Maharaj at
Mozhri, Sant Gadge Baba Maharaj at Valgaon, places of worship like Ambadevi Temple, Shri Bhakti Dham Temple,
Sridham Temple, Shri Ekvira Devi Templ. However, there are problems of poor accessibility to many tourist
destinations due to basic Infrastructure bottlenecks, lack of tourist infrastructure & basic amenities at many tourist
destinations, lack of information about tourist destinations, unfavorable brand image as a tourist friendly
destination. There is need to improve quality of hospitality services like better hotels, Improvement in hygiene and
cleanliness etc. Also improvement of communication facility like easy access to telephones/ fax/ inter-net etc.,
improving the availability of trained guides conversant with English, provision of proper signage’s in English,
improvement in means of travel – road/railways/airways. There is need to increase number of Tour operators
establishments with on-line facility for booking. The global trend of tourists towards exotic destinations like India in
increasing and the tourism potential unexploited hitherto shall be harnessed in next five years.
Industries:
Considering the agriculture base of the district, there is potential for setting up of micro and small enterprises in
areas of food processing, fruit processing etc. Fruit processing also offers opportunities for packaging, distribution
and marketing can generate off-farm job. Another potential is in animal husbandry related enterprises. There are 19
Large Scale industries in the district which includes 535 Cr. of investment and providing employment to 3117
persons, 2910 small scale industries in the district which includes 238.2 Crore of investment and employment for
19292. Recently, 2 Mega projects sanction and in production with investment of 406 Cr. and employment potential
of 1838 persons. In order to give large scale boost to industrial activity in the district, MIDC has been allotted 2809
Ha land at Nandgaon Peth MIDC, which includes 500 ha land for Textile Park. Efforts are being made to develop two
MIDC areas in Amravati as well as 8 areas at the taluka level.
Conclusion:
The Amravati vision 2020 document would serve as a milestone in perspective planning of the development
in the district as well as it will act as a benchmark to measure the achievements in next five years. Furthermore, it
would serve as a platform for convergence of activities of all Government Departments as well as civil society
organizations.

B. APPROACH FOR VISION FORMULATION
For making the Vision document comprehensive, it has to be prepared for a district through a participative
process starting from the grassroots in terms of holistic development over the next 25 years with every five years (5
years) as the milestones. This would be the companion and guiding document during the process of development of
a district. A basic requirement is that the preparation of the vision is not conditioned by schemes and programmers.
The vision would be primarily articulated in terms of goals and outcomes and would address basically three aspects
of development, namely

Human Resource Development

Infrastructure development

Development in the productive sector
The idea is that the envisioning process, being
participative, would build a spirit of teamwork and
hopefully break down the department wise planning
process that is dominant till date.
During the preparation of District Vision Document for
Amravati several workshops, meetings, consultations
were held at District and Sub-Division level.
Date of meeting 2nd Dec 2014
APPROACH METHODOLOGY:
Approach Adopted for Vision Formulation

The working groups formed: Ownership of Vision formulation created at stake holders’ level.

Working groups constituted experts across the sectors within and outside Government. A unique model of
participatory approach

Periodic meetings were held, with Heads of various Departments at District level to crystallize the
Vision/Development objective: Critically reviewing the challenges and opportunities

Public consultations held at grass root level: Workshops held at Taluka/Block level, seeking inputs, feedback
and reinforcement.

Socio-economic inputs were sought from almost all villages on their aspirations and expectations.

Development ideas/suggestions were sought by the administration from the students and general public by
organizing Essay and Drawing competitions.

C. AMRAVATI DISTRICT: OVERVIEW
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF DISTRICT:
The ancient name of Amravati is "Udumbravati", in prakrut, "Umbravati". The variant 'Amravati' is the
presently accepted name. It is said that Amravati is named for its ancient Ambadevi temple. A mention of Amravati
can be found on a stone inscription on the base of the marble statue of God Adinath (Jain God) Rhishabhnath. The
statues date back to the year 1097. Govind Maha Prabhu visited Amravati in the 13th century, when Wardha was
under the rule of Deogiri's Hindu King (Yadava dynasty).
In 1722, Chhattrapati Shahu presented Amravati and Badnera to Shri Ranoji Bhosle; eventually Amravati
was known as Bhosle ki Amravati. The city was reconstructed and developed by Ranoji Bhosle after the treaty of
Devgaon and Anjangaon Surji and victory over Gavilgad (Fort of Chikhaldara).
The British general and author Wellesly camped in Amravati, the place is still known as the 'camp', by
Amravati people. The Union state of Nijam and Bhosale ruled Amravati. They appointed a revenue officer but
neglected defence. The Gavilgad fort was conquered by the British on 15 December 1803. Under to the Deogaon
treaty, Warhad was presented as a token of the friendship to the Nijam. Warhad was ruled by the Nijams thereafter.
Around 1805, the Pendharies attacked Amravati city. The Nijam ruled for a more than half century.
In 1853, the present-day territory of Amravati district as a part of Berar Province was assigned to the British
East India Company, following a treaty with the Nizam of Hyderabad. From 1859 to 1871, many government

OVERVIEW:
Agriculture Produce in Amravati district
Water is one of the main resources essential for the overall socioeconomic development of any region. With the above exceptions the
district is an undulating plain of black soil of a fertile type, its richest
tracts being perhaps in the neighborhood of the Wardha and the Purna
rivers. It is watered by a number of streams which rise in the Satpudas in
the north. The Wardha River forms the eastern boundary of the district
and the eastern portion of the district for about 80 Kms lies within its
watershed. The Purna River drains the southwestern portion of the
district, while the northwest is drained by the Tapti River.

Figure 1.1 – Cropping Pattern
Most of the cultivated area of the district is under Cotton, Orange and Oil Seeds. Cotton is grown extensively in the
district mainly in Achalpur, Amravati, Anjangaon, Daryapur Tiosa, and Warud tahsils. Amravati district cotton market
is supposed to be the biggest cotton market in Asia. It exports cotton in both raw and processed form. The other
chief exports of the district are cotton bales, wooden furniture, chilli, silk, tur-dal, food-grains, jowar, edible oils and
kumkum. In addition, timber from Paratwada depot is sent all over the country. Most of the goods are exported to
Bombay, Pune and Madras as per census 1991.

Farmers’ suicide
Amravati District has witnessed acute crisis in agrarian economy in the recent past, especially after 2000. The
farmers have been caught into vicious circle of rising cost of farming and stagnant or declining price of agriculture
produce. At times the failure of monsoon or natural calamity has further added to their woes. While large section of
farmers is ending adverse economic situation, there have been incidents of farmers committing suicides. The State
government has declared several financial packages to alleviate their economic crisis and help improve irrigation
facilities, provide supplementary incomes though agriculture allied activities and ensure stable market for the
produce. During Year 2014, the failure of monsoon and loss of kharif as well as rabi crop has resulted in 209 farmers
committing suicides. The taluka wise land holding wise, crop wise and credit-wise analysis is given below:

Agriculture Credit:
One of the most important inputs to the agriculture is institutional credit. The State Government has directed the
district Cooperative Banks as well as Schedule Commercial Banks to ensure regular and adequate credit flow to the
farmers. The following tables show the credit take off during the Kharif and Rabi Season of 2014-2015.

From above it appears that only 1,26,937 farmers (about 20% of total) are availing the instituted Credit and the
average per farmer amount is Rs. 1 Lack per crop season. Therefore, it is essential to widen the credit flow to
improve the agricultural productivity and save them from Private leaders.

3) Machinery and Capital Investment

Compact tractor for small and marginal land holdings

Green house techniques as proposed in National Horticulture Mission works

Use of GIS techniques for forecasting and prediction, computerization of GPs

Subsidies / loans for Investment in Decompose Plants

GP – Level warehousing and storage systems
4) Availing Ready Markets for the Common Farmers

Market value for agriculture produce plays the vital role in motivating farmers to produce more.

Balance between producers’ benefit as well as consumers’ expectations of economy, so that agricultural
marketing needs to be re-oriented to respond to the market needs and consumer preferences.

Balance between increasing farmers’ benefit and securing consumers’ interest we will have to prepare such
market place having no chain of the middlemen

Erection of such market “Farmers’ Market” at every taluka Place
23
SUMMARY:

The horticulture sector plays an important role in the economy of the district. Warud, Morshi, Chandur Bazar,
Achalpur and Tiwasa blocks are prominent for production of fruits like Orange and Mosambi.

Orange is an important horticulture cash crop of the district which has increasing trend in area from 51000 Ha
in 2007 to 60000 Ha.in 2015.

Though the expansion of area under orange plantation will be at increasing rate but the productivity is seems to
be stable at 10 to 12 MT/Ha. The reasons for low productivity may vary on the basis of different parameters viz;
climatic condition, rain storm, heavy rainfall, low water table and high intensity of temperature at the pick
period of fruitening. Which may result into poor productivity causing low returns to the farmers in terms of
rupees as compared to cost of cultivation and also due to fluctuation in market prices.

The alternative for to the orange cultivation is by the intensification of Pomegranate fruit crops which has the
assured option opened for the orange grower farmers and other farmers of the district of Vidarbha region as
experience shows. It is mostly suitable for climatic condition of Vidarbha region. In some part of the district it is
cultivated in better profitable manner .

The pomegranate fruit gives more assured yield and has market demand throughout the year at local and other
opened market too. AS it has the three times more market price as compared to orange fruits resulted in more
net income to the district farmers.

Thus there is a need to expansion of pomegranate area under cultivation by 2020.

B) As most of the area in the district falls under assured rainfall zone of the agro-climatic situation. Soyabean
and Cotton are the two major cash crops preferred by the farmers in the district.

The area under Soyabean crops is gradually increasing from 18,120 Ha in 2008-09 to 3,20,000 ha in 2014-15,
which indicates there is mono cropping trends adopted by the farmers though resulted in decreasing trend of
production/yield of the crops Viz; 1699 Kg/ha in 2007-08 to 369 Kg/ha in 2014-15.

The above trends indicates the area under Soyabean crops has to be replaced by means of inter-cropping with
other assured productive crops like Cotton, Tur, Moong, Jowar and Gram along with Safflower and other
aromatic as well as medicinal plant for better remunerative market price fetched by these crops.

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
AIM:
Comprehensive approach for sustainable development to boost up the livestock commodities
OBJECTIVES:
a) To increase the production of the livestock commodities like milk, meat, eggs in the district.
b) To provide assured market to the livestock commodities.
c) To provide quality livestock commodities to the consumers.
OVERVIEW:
The global food demand is expected to be double by 2050 while production environment and natural resources are
continuously shrinking and deteriorating. In such situation boosting livestock production is challenge for animal
husbandry department. The role of animal husbandry is not only supplementary to agriculture, but it is developing
as independent business. The most of the livestock is distributed in rural areas at the doorstep of poor and hard
worker people. The demand for livestock commodities is steeply rising, food preferences of the next generation
consumers are changing and animal husbandry sector is struggling with decelerating profitability.
The livestock population in district Amravati is presented in the following table. On analyzing the information it is
found that major part of the livestock population constitutes indigenous cattle. Whereas, crossbred cattle
constitutes only a small part of this population. Majority of the present cattle population needs replacement with
upgraded Desi high yielding cows, crossbred cows and buffaloes to enhance milk production.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength
 Amravati has sufficient natural resources and market is available for livestock commodities.
 District has sufficient livestock population
Weakness
 Low yielding livestock, poultry etc
 Deficiency of green fodder availability
 Insufficient veterinary infrastructure and man power
 Insufficient organized procurement and processing agencies
 Insufficient credits facilities
Opportunity
 Well connectivity by road and rail
 High demand for milk & milk products, eggs and meat
Threat
 Reluctances from farmers side to set up commercial livestock business
 Low remunerative prices for livestock commodities.
 Wide gap in prices at farmers end and user end.
VISION:
1) To improve quality and quantity of production through scientific feeding, Artificial Insemination, health care,
housing etc.
2) To improve productive performance of livestock to the rate at least that of state average
STRATEGIES:
Policy and Vision of Animal Husbandry department
1. Proposed key Intervention.
1) The district is deficit in green as well as dry fodder. There is need to motivate farmers for cultivation of
fodder crops, trees, grasses etc. To tackle the scarcity situation there is urgent need to establish fodder
banks at government farms/NGOs.
2) Taluka veterinary mini polyclinics at some talukas have good building amenities which should be strengthen
with farmer’s library along with audio visual aids.
3) To encourage farmer’s participation in artificial insemination activities and to improve health of new born
calves some incentives should be given to the farmers which ultimately helps to increase milk production.
28
2. Strategy to Mitigate fodder crisis
1) Fortunately, Amravati district has large forest area, but natural grazing lands have shrunken and need to
manage and develop. For that initiative will be taken with the help of forest Dept. for plantation of fodder
trees like Anjan, development of pasture grasses like stylo, plantation of fodder trees on the boundaries of
agricultural land of farmers with the help of agriculture Department etc.
2) to change mindset of farmers and pursue them regarding cultivation of improved varieties of fodder crops,
cropping pattern etc.
3) There is need to create awareness among farmers and help them to process store fodder for use in lean
period through hay making, Silage making, complete feed block making, total mix ration preparation etc.

Inspite of the huge water area available under small to large reservoirs, the utilization and fish production of these
water bodies from the fisheries point of view is poor. This is mainly due to unavailability of seed in district and
intuitive managements of fish farmers. It is expected that through sustained supplementary stocking of quality
fingerlings, augmenting the fish stocks through auto stocking, adoption of appropriate mesh sizes, optimum fishing
effort and enforcement of fishing ban during breeding season (mainly in medium and large reservoirs where auto
stocking takes place).

Fish seed resources:
Unavailability of adequate number of seed is major bottleneck to development of fisheries in the district. The district
is having only one fish seed production unit (Hatchery) with capacity 150 lakhs of fish seed in form of fry and two
seed rearing unit with rearing capacity of 30 lakh each. Majority of the fish farmers and co-operative societies are
reliant on seed from West Bengal, Orissa and Andhra-Pradesh. The seed procured from other states does not yield
good results because of impurity, transportation under stressful conditions etc.
If these water bodies are properly maintained with scientific fisheries management practices such as pre stocking
management (manuring, fertilization etc.), stocking of appropriate size of fingerling, feeding management in
reservoirs up to 60 ha area, use of medicines and probiotics, harvesting management etc. the objective of
enhancement in fish production cannot be challenge any more. The optimum requirement to achieve the objective
is healthy seed. The requirement of seed for the water spread area of 10,162 ha is as follows:

The National Seed Production Centre located at Morshi is adequate to produce required number of spawn necessary
to produce fingerling for all available water bodies in district. After retaining sufficient number of spawn at Morshi
centre, remaining spawn should be shift on top priority to Baslapur and Mandva rearing centre for further rearing.
No seed should be sold to farmers/societies in the form of spawn in order to create awareness about stocking of
proper size of seed among farmers and societies. All the rearing units of state fisheries department should be
maintained properly and rear spawn to fry, fry to fingerlings as per their full capacity. After production of fry, the
concerned centre should retain fry according to their capacity mentioned in plan and sale out remaining fry to
farmers/societies as these entire three units does not have enough rearing space to produce fingerling required for
all water bodies available in district. Hence co-operative societies should develop their own rearing ponds in nearby
area of their reservoir and manage it in scientific way under guidance of technical team to produced fingerlings from
fry.
33
For optimum utilization of reservoir for fish production, cage culture can be carried out. Floating batteries of 40-50
cages can be installed in such large reservoirs. The advantage of cage culture is that, the fishes can be cultures in
enclosed area, can be fed regularly, monitoring length and weight is easy and can be harvested completely.
Approximately 1.5 to 3 tonnes of fish can be harvested from each cage in a period of 8 to 10 months, contributing
100 to 200 mt of production. In addition to cage culture practice, the peripheral shallow waters of reservoirs can be
utilised be pen culture practice. Wherein, an area of 1 to 5 ha can be enclosed by installing pens (nets) and fish seed
can be stocked and cultured similar to pond culture. For cage and pen culture, the guidelines issued by government
from time to time for species to be stocked and seed procurement should be followed. National Fisheries
Development Board, Hyderabad has funded for cage culture in medium and large reservoirs in Maharashtra through
Maharashtra Fisheries Development Corporation.
Development of fishery sector under PESA areas:

There are 244 water bodies in PESA area in Amravati district, out of which 228 water tanks are with Zilla
Parishad and 16 are with Irrigation Department. During 2013-14, fish seeds were provided in 41 water tanks (23
in Dharni and 18 in Chikhaldara) from the fish seed center at Madnwa in Dharni Taluka,

As per the instructions of the Fishery Commissioner dated 25.08.2014, the fishing rights of 9 water tanks of the
Irrigation Department are to be handed over to the Gram Sabha as per provisions of PESA Act and remaining 7

SUMMARY:
The Fish seed is one of the essential inputs for fish farm production; the viability of an investment project of this
nature would be determined largely by the demand for fish seed for the expansion of fish farming in the country.
There is necessity of renovation of all GP Tanks and construction of additional Farm ponds for use of Pisiculture
activities in the district. De-siltation and de-weeding of tanks, biological and manual control methods to address
infiltration of tanks and making them suitable for promoting inland fishing. Also revival of all existing fish farmer’s
development societies and establish linkages with banks and other micro financial institutions for accessing credit on
par with agriculture.

OVERVIEW:
Amravati has the distinction of having one third of its geographical areas under forest cover amounting to about
3.96 lakh hectare area. One of the three Tiger Reserves, namely the Melghat Tiger Reserves, of Maharashtra is
located here. This famous reserve spread over an area of 1676.93 sp km has recently completed 30 years of its
existence and is one of the last remaining habitats of Indian Tiger in Maharashtra. The hilly terrain of the national
park gives it a distinct importance as a tiger habitat as most other reserves are located in plains.
Apart from this, the Gugamal National Park and sanctuaries like Dharni-Kolkaaz,

the district is 30.43%, and is unevenly distributed. Amravati has the distinction of
Area (SQKM)
distinct geographical regions, viz., the plain regions in the east and south-east and
the hilly regions of the Satpuda ranges in north and north-west. The plain region is
extensively cultivated and forests appear only in dotted, scattered patches. The
having one third of its geographical areas under forest cover amounting to about 3502 SQ.KM. area.
The district is fairly rich as far as resources are concerned. The major and minor forest production of the district is
found in good quantity. Some forest produces like Behada, Hirda, Moha’s flower are found in large quantity, leaves
38
and herbs could be used for setting up cottage type industries of the Ayurvedic medicine. Palas leaves and it is used
for making pratravali and colours during Holi festival.
Melghat tiger reserve: The Melghat area was declared a tiger reserve in 1974. The reserve is a catchment area for
five major rivers all of which are tributaries of the river Tapti. Melghat is the prime biodiversity repository of the
state. More than 700 naturalized plant species have been enlisted in the flora of Melghat. Teak is the predominant
tree species. Bamboo is also widespread.
A 40 Sq. Km tourism zone has been established near Semadoh. Annually around 6000 tourists avail of the tourist
facility here. The nature education and interpretation centre at Semadoh has four dormitories (64 beds), 10 huts (20
beds) and tent facility. Tent facility (6 tents) has been established at 11 different places to facilitate trekking in the
reserve.
Forest Rights
In Amravati district, the tribal population is about 4 lakhs (43,000
families). Majority of tribal families living in forest areas are
concentrated in two Talukas of Melghat area (43,000 families). Till
date, 2237 tribal families and 408 non-tribal families i.e. 2645

Eco Tourism& Tiger Project
The Eco-tourism if controlled and regulated and keeps in tune with provisions of Act and policies on wildlife,
conservation, it could move to be an effective tool for management for eliciting public support, and also, provide
ample opportunities to people for nature and wildlife viewing as well as enjoyment in sustainable manner as
envisaged in the objectives set for Tiger Project areas. Keeping in view the above principle Eco-tourism activity is
being taken up in Melghat Tiger Reserve as per the provisions of Sanctioned Management Plan for Melghat Tiger
Reserve. The plan envisages special objectives of management with respect to Eco-tourism. The area of MTR is a
39
difficult terrain hence the sighting of wild animals is moderate. The area is enriched with several landscapes and
scenic view points in the reserve. The tiger in Melghat Tiger Reserve are definitely unique in themselves and their
sighting give immense pleasure to the tourists. It has got high interpretative value in respect of environment,
ecological factors and their relation with wildlife. The tribal inhabitants also co-exist in this environment with the
wildlife. Melghat Tiger Reserve has tremendous potential for Eco-tourism.

SUMMARY:
The Amravati district is having well irrigated though under-utilized irrigation potential. We will focus on the two
fronts viz. increasing irrigation projects/resources as well as by using efficient modern techniques of irrigation
methods.
46
Through “Jalayukt Shivar Yojana “, in the proximity we will tap maximum water resources and maximize the water
availability. We are planning to complete the ongoing minor and major irrigation projects within time limit. At the
same time we are going to increase irrigation percentage by creating small water bodies like check dams, nallha
dippening, renewing existing percolation tanks, cement plugs etc.
The last but not least we will try to bring commercial attitudes and practices in water management by virtue of
imparting special trainings to the common farmers.

3. DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION
AIM:
Provision of piped water supply to all rural and urban households along with sanitation facilities.
KEY OBJECTIVES:
 It is proposed to achieve hundred percent coverage of water supply and sanitation facilities to all household in
urban and rural areas with environmentally safe drainage and disposal services

To prevent women from travelling far away for water

To provide sanitation facilities at individual households as well as through community sanitation facilities

Mortality and morbidity due to water related diseases need to be reduced to brought to minimum
OVERVIEW:
Amravati district has 1615 notified villages. There are 1131 individual schemes out of which 1102 schemes are
functional. 29 Schemes are non-functional mainly due to electric disconnection and repairs. Major repairs are
proposed in NRDWP schemes. The district also has 7 Regional Rural Schemes which covers 440 rural habitations out
of which 3 schemes are based on gravity, which covers 340 villages. Moreover, the district has 4232 Hand Pumps &
2174 Open Wells which are also functional. Apart from this 212 habitations are proposed in NRDWP Action Plan
2014-15.
In Melghat areas, there are 323 villages. Out of those water supply scheme for 276 villages have been already
completed. Of which, 250 scheme are functional and remaining 26 scheme are non-functional due to pending
electricity bill & lack of maintenance and repair. In addition to this, water is being supplied through 811 hand pump
and 304 public well to the villages of Melghat area.
Present Status of drinking water:

Number of habitations - 1615

Number of habitations without PWSS - 109

Number of habitation with PWSS - 1514

Number of PWSS not functional due to pending electricity bills - 22

Number of PWSS non-functional due to O&M habitations having numbers - 10

Habitations having number of functional PWSS - 1482

Number of households in rural area -397395

Number of households with pipeline connections – 391310
48
In urban areas, Water supply schemes of 09 M.C. & 04 RR water supply schemes have surfaced sources i.e. Irrigation
Dams. 03 local lakes are source of water supply scheme for Chikhaldara Municipal Council. Presently there is
sufficient water in these lakes.
Saline belt and Water Quality
The district has severe salinity problems mainly in taluka Anjangaon Surju, Daryapur and Bhatkuli. The entire belt has
been tackled by Maharashtra Jeevn Pradhikaran through execution of Regional Rural Water Supply Scheme
(RRWSS)- 156 Village RRWSS, 79 Village RRWSS and 105 Village RRWSS. All the Scheme are gravity based and are
being maintained by Maharashtra Jeevn Pradhikaran itself. Fortunately the district has no fluoride problem.
SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strengths

Ground water development structures in most areas for drinking water purpose

Presence of rivers and reservoirs in the district

RWSS & PHED The Rural Water Supply Division under Zilla Parishad as well as Maharashtra Jeevan
Pradhikaran are equipped to handle Water Supply Schemes.
Weaknesses

Lack of awareness among people regarding sanitation especially in rural areas

Scarcity of drinking water due to defunct tube wells and ground water depletion

Contamination of water and severity of water borne diseases

Insufficient funds
Opportunities

Supply of safe drinking water through pipelines

Repairing and maintenance of defunct tube wells
Threats


Expansion of coal fields further deteriorate the quality and availability of drinking water
Improper sanitation facilities further leads to spread of diseases
 To make all 32 PWSS functional

To execute PWSS in remaining 74 habitations as 27 villages are rehabilitated

To see it that the functional PWSS remain functional presently

To Tackle quality effected village

Major lacunae in the existing structure and remedies: -
1) According the school code, the playground should be made compulsory for the educational institutions. During
the inspection of various schools and educational institutions it has been noticed that more than 50 % of schools do
not even possess proper playground.
2) Participation in inter-school sports should be made compulsory. While it has been observed that the participation
ratio of students in sports activities is very low.
3) Lack of basic facilities of sports.
4) The flow of grant towards the educational institutions should be continuous to enable them to participate in
sports. While it is observed that poor financial condition of educational institutes in the region leads to nonparticipation in sports.
5) The flow of financial assistance is not continuous which leads to break in the on-going work of sports complex at
various levels.
6) The no. of employees should be increased for the maximum output. On the contrary lack of manpower in the
district Offices leads the delay in work or unsuccessful implementation of schemes.
7) A sport Code should be designed to keep control on the activities of the education/sports in a better manner.
8) Taluka sports complex should be in each taluka.
Strategies:
As the lacking of various facilities in the Amravati district we set out the vision towards the fulfillment of all the
necessary basic amenities and infrastructure related to sport in all sub-districts. The vision is targeted up to the year
2020. All the statistics related to projection of all basic sport amenities/infrastructure and their respective costs are
given in the following table. Final targeted cost is comes out to Rs. 440.00 crore towards fulfill the target in vision
2020.

SUMMARY
The Sport which was traditionally considered a hobby especially in India, is now being taken seriously as a career
option. We should promote sport as a career among the youths in district. We are planning to increase sports
infrastructure in every block so as the Amravati district become inclusively sporting hub in the region (in popular
sports of the region). Fortunately, we already have nationally recognized and renowned sporting organization viz.
the HVPM Amravati. We will accelerate the sport education and culture in schools and colleges and increase sports
facilities like play grounds, racing tracks, courts, etc. We will promote sport as a career among the youths in district
and also to bring professional attitudes and practices in sport administration and authority.

There has been a gradual improvement in the health indicators in Melghat region over last 3 years even though the
indicators are poor compared to other Talukas in the district. The Infant Mortality Rate has decreased from 48 per
thousand to 37 per thousand (compared to 42 at National level and 25 at State level). The Child Mortality Rate has
decreased from 13 per thousand to 9 per thousand (compared to 7 at National level and 6.4 at the State level).
Similarly, the Maternal Mortality has decreased from 2.33 to 2.19 per thousand. At the same time, the percentage of
institutional deliveries has increased from 54% to 65% during last 3 years.
Children malnourishment is the major health concern in Melghat region even though the trend is decreasing over
last few years. During the pre-monsoon survey in June 2014, it was found that 534 children were suffering from
Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and 2832 children were in the Medium Acute Malnutrition (MAM) category. In the
post-monsoon survey in September 2014, we found 230 SAM and 1341 MAM children.

Figure 6.1 - Vital Health Indicators ( Melghat region)
Rationale for vision health 2020
 Melghat has high IMR i.e. 38/1000 live birth as compared to the whole Amravati district i.e. 27/1000
 Highly sensitive area due to child deaths because of malnutrition.
 It is always in news/focus due to malnutrition deaths.
73
 An Infant mortality rate remains more or less constant (50/1000LB) since 2005, in spite of all possible health &
non-health intervention. Most of the child deaths occur at home.
 Early age at marriage, large family size, (high CBR since last 3 year)
 High proportion of home delivery 45%, high neonatal mortality (26/1000 LB)
Health infrastructure:
 The basic public health care system is broadly categorized in rural & urban health care system. Urban health care
consist of sub-district hospital and district hospital and women hospital.
 The health care infrastructure in rural areas is developed as a three tier system consisting of sub-center, primary
health center, rural hospital and sub district hospital.
SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strengths

Special Women hospitals at Amravati

Special New born care unit at District Women Hospital Amravati.

Super Specialty hospital

108 free Ambulance Service for Emergency

102 Free Ambulance Service for Pregnant Women & neonates.

Flying squads (22 functional)

Extra vehicle at PHC

Strong ASHA network

Strong NGOs network
Weaknesses

One MBBS MO and one BAMS MO at PHC

Inaccessibility in rainy season

No delivery room at 36 subs centers.

Large family size

Inadequate specialty doctors in the rural area
Opportunities

Well functional ICDS department

ITDP office at Dharni
Threats

Non-involvement of AWW due the burden of work.

Non-involvement of health workers due to the high workload.
74
A major focus of the vision is providing quality health care facilities to all its population.
PHC Human resources – Gaps and Mismatches
Medical officer
 Availability of appropriate and adequately trained human resources is an essential concomitant of rural health
infrastructure. The present position, requirement, and shortfall regarding public health care human resources.
 As per the IPHS norms there are gaps in healthcare infrastructure across district the gaps are more evident in
Dharni and Chikhaldara talikas. The disease profile of these talukas also necessitates the need for immediate
attention.
 Only 40% of the sub centers in the district conduct deliveries. Facilities like delivery table, trained ANM needs to
be provided at every sub center to increase institutional deliveries.
 Accessibility of PHCs and SCs is also the factors that need to be looked at.
 Considering the current shortage of health infrastructure and demand that would be because of population
pressure, huge investment is warranted in development of health infrastructure.
Challenges of the next five year
 While rural areas will grapple with the traditional problems like communicable diseases; the urban and semi
urban areas will see increasing trends of non-communicable and lifestyle diseases like diabetes and heart
diseases.
 It would mean need for more tertiary care hospitals in the urban areas.
 Considering the cost dynamics of the tertiary healthcare the government also needs to look at the option of
health insurances for urban/rural poor.
 Mental health is another important issue that should be one of the focus areas.
The approach
 A comprehensive approach is needed that encompasses individual health care, public health, knowledge of
hygiene, clean drinking water, and access to food.
 Importance will be given to reducing disparities in health across regions and communities by ensuring access to
affordable health care.
 The contribution of the private sector in providing primary, secondary, and tertiary services will be enhanced
through various measures including partnership with the government.
 Good governance, transparency, and accountability in the delivery of health services will be ensured through
involvement of PRIs, community, and civil society groups.
75
Implementation strategy
Vision health 2020 is built around the following strategic assumption

In Amravati district, health services are changing fast and the time is right for a new health policy framework
for the Melghat region.

The health of the Melghat population is improving but not as rapidly it should, given the knowledge and
technological capacity available.

Inequalities in health are growing, and this both socially unfair and costly to society as a whole.

The changing socio-culture and demographic landscape of the Melghat region implies rethinking a wide
range of assumptions about health, care and support, participation and empowerment and human rights.

To develop a strong linkage from village level to referral institute (Village Health Referral Plan)

To make available appropriate services at each level in referral system (IPHS Upgradation)

To make available mobility facilities for referring needy patients.

Planning Current Progress in Respect of Electrification in Amravati District
 16 villages under Melghat region were made energy reliant by using the unconventional source of energy i.e. Solar
Energy. The electrification work of 25 villages of Melghat region is being done by unconventional energy source
i.e. solarenergy, this is because of the Forest Law applicable in this area, although the said proposal is being sent
to MEDA.
 Around 42 villages of the Jarida region are given power supply by the Baisdehi Sub-Division of Madha Pradesh
state. The power supply of Jarida to Hatru region is laid down from the very urban and forest region, due to this
the power supply always gets disconnected. The proposal for complete replacement of cable of this region is
made.

SUMMARY:
The Energy conservation has emerged as a major policy objective and the Energy Conservation Act 2001, was passed
by the Indian Parliament in September 2001, some of the population still live without access to electricity. The
newly erected private power project, the Sofiya power project is helping in lessening the power cut off. It is only one
power project in this district. However the is huge potential and chances to diversify the power generation
techniques such as setting up of wind power project, solar power projects and giving encouragement for captive
power generation. In the near future the wind turbines shall be planned in Chikhaldara and Melghat to generate
electricity. We will undertake the widespread canvassing programmes for the use of solar, bio- fuel, gas system for
household electrification is very necessary to provide light in each and every house. We will provide separate power
stations at Village/NP level dedicated for the use of agriculture & HH activities. All these activities will be fruitful to
decrease power demand /power generation very effectively.

effective monitoring of various programs and schemes of
the Government. Hence, the UID Enrollment % of

DBT & DBTL (2014-15)
The National Committee on Direct Cash Transfer Chaired by Honorable Prime Minister rolled out Direct Benefit
Transfer (DBT) from 1 January 2013 in 43 identified districts. The purpose of Direct Benefits Transfer is to ensure
that benefits go to individuals' bank accounts electronically, minimising tiers involved in fund flow thereby reducing
delay in payment, ensuring accurate targeting of the beneficiary and curbing pilferage and duplication. 28 schemes
were identified for DBT rollout in 43 identified districts from 1.1.2013. It was further decided that future benefits
110
under all the 28 schemes would be transferred in the following phased manner - (a) in 20 of the 43 districts, from
1.1.2013 (b) in 11 of the 43 districts after 1.2.2013, and (c) in the remaining 12 of the 43 districts after 1.3.2013.
Amravati was in Phase 1 i.e. the DBT started from 01.01.2013
Following are the schemes from different department that comes under Direct Benefit Transfer. Following
departments are involved. These payments are done through Aadhaar Based Payment Bridge. For Direct benefit
transfer State Bank of India is the sponsor bank. National Payments Corporation of India is the organization that
provides the UID mapping with the bank. The departments are provided with the NPCI Mapper Login Credentials.
The DBT MIS is attached with this note. This scheme increases the transparency, efficiency and above minimizes the
schemes of vested interest. It saves lots of money and helps to identify the beneficiary by clearing the bogus
beneficiaries or de-duplicate beneficiaries. For the Financial Year 2013-14, total amount of INR1,19,45,665 for
1,03,103 Beneficiaries in DBT.

Current Status
This scheme was launched on 02.09.2013 by keeping Amravati & Wardha as Pilot District in Maharashtra. However,
due to strong agitation from the political parties the scheme went in Abeyance from 10.03.2014. Again with the Nod
of Honorable Prime Minister Sir, the scheme launched by keeping Amravati & Wardha as Pilot District from
15.11.2014. The Current CTC% (ACTC+BCTC) if 350900. To stop the automated seeding, we have forwarded the
request to the entire Bank’s lead ID team so that the complaints can be completely minimized and the request of
NPCI mapping will completely be on beneficiary/ Bank who seeds it.
Special camps for the UID seeding and enrolments have been organized so that the gap can be minimized and the
ATC & BTC percentage can cross 95% in next 01 month.
Action plan

The targeted population remaining for the enrolment is only 71206. For this special camps will be done and will
try to achieve the remaining population by 31.06.2015

The transparency will be increased by transferring direct cash transfer to the beneficiary of various scheme using
Aadhaar Enabled Payment Bridge.

eKYC will be used in complete district for different scheme using UID authentication. This system will be used in
various types of ecommerce services. Payments can also be withdrawn using the bio metric system. Thus
increasing the security of the account.

This will increase the transparency and efficiency in the system thus removing the bogus beneficiary for the
system.

With this, the bulk amount of the Government will be saved and also the benefit will be directly transferred to
the account of the beneficiary thus bypassing the vested interest.
