Santipur village consist of 76 Families. The population is nearly

about 310 people, Most of them are Bengali Comunity and some
are Chakma community.They are Hindu and Christian religious.The
density of houshes are conjusted and some are unconjusted.

Peoples of the village depend on the farm land for their

livelihood,Agriculture is the main source of income of the villagers,they
work hard in their afrm and dedicated to their work and peach
loving.They celebrate together any occasion wether in sorrow or
happy,

The life of villagers and the countryside radiates an

entirely different vibe from the city. People of village are rich in their
culture, traditions and maintain religiously. People from village could
enjoy the natural beauty. Breathe fresh air and take simple diet which
keeps them healthy. They are far away from rush like in city life. They
cooperate with each other. Farmers are very hard working and work in
their farm till it down.

But in village facilities are unavailable; people are compelled to

live in poverty life. Poverty are easily seen there. Villagers are very
superstitious. It makes them backward as compare to people in the city.
The government should develop of it and should provide them basic
facilities.
9

One interesting thing is there although hindu religious people are

majority , every festival of Hindus and Bhudhist celebrated together
with great joy and happiness. Dussehra, Diwali, Holy and Christmas are
mostly celebrated there.

THE SCENE AND NATURE OF THE VILLAGE

The village is a Place that mostly resides far away from pollution
and hustle and bustle of noise. We can see the beauty of nature only in
the village.

The village is beautiful as these are surrounded by trees, plants,

rivers, farmlands, flowers, mountains and streams in hilly area. These
are covered with green grasslands.

There is minimal pollution in the village and one can feel the
freshness in the breeze of air. The melodious sound of birds adds to the
beauty of nature. All these give pleasure to the people of village. Thus
one can feel the connection with the soil in the village.

IMPORTANCE OF VILLAGE

Most parts of the India is village and depends on the agriculture.

They contribute a lot to growth and development of our country. This is
10

why it is known as country of farmers. Moreover villages are covered by trees

and plants, it helping the environment.

EDUCATION

The village having one High school,one primary school and one Anganawari
Centre.

i)SantipurHighschoo

ii)Purba santipur Nimnobuniyadi bidyalay

iii)Santipur AWC

Most of the villagers are unaware of the importance of education. As a

citizen of the country, we should make aware of the importance of education to
the village.

MEDICAL ARRANGEMENTS

In the Village there is no health centre. There need to improve and increase
the health centre facility.

SANITATION

The villagers do not care about the cleanliness of houses, roads, and
themselves. They do not have pure drinking water facility and sanitary latrine.
These create disease. They should drink pure water to avoid diseases. They need
job to development of their lifestyle.

CONCLUSION

We cannot ignore the importance of the village to the growth of our

nation. Government should provide the basic facility and take care of the village,
like proper education awareness, Medical Health facility, Pure Water facility,
Modern Agriculture facility, Job facility and more benefits.

5.Basic data of DDU-GKY

The Full form of DDUGKY is DeenDayal Upadhayaya

GraminKaushalya Bikash yojna. DDU-GKY was launched on 25
September 2014 by Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and
Venkaiah Naidu on the occasion of 98th birth anniversary of
Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. The Vision of DDU-GKY is to
"Transform rural poor youth into an economically independent
and globally relevant workforce". It aims to target youth, in the
age group of 15–35 years. DDU-GKY is a part of the
National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), tasked with the dual
Objectives of adding diversity to the incomes of rural poor
families and cater to the career aspirations of rural youth. A
corpus of Rs 1,500crore is aimed at enhancing the employability
of rural youth.Under this programme, disbursements would be
made through a digital voucher directly into the student’s bank
account as part of the government's skill development initiative.
16

1. What is DDU-GKY?
DDU-GKY aims to skill rural youth who are 1 poor and provide
them with jobs having regular monthly wages at or above the
minimum wages. It is one of the cluster of initiatives of the
Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India that seeks
to promote rural livelihoods. It is a part of the National Rural
Livelihood Mission (NRLM) - the Mission for poverty reduction
called Aajeevika. MoRD pursues its goal of rural poverty
reduction by adopting a multi-pronged strategy. This includes
programs for rural infrastructure (Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak
Yojana PMGSY), rural housing (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana -
PMAY), employment guarantee (Mahatma Gandhi National
Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme - MGNREGS), livelihood
promotion (National Rural Livelihood Mission - Aajeevika) and
social pensions (National Social Assistance Programme - NSAP).
DDU-GKY derives its importance from its potential to reduce
poverty by diversifying incomes and reducing their uncertainty.
There is a continuum of skills that are required in an economy
and there are various ways in which to acquire them. In India,
while higher-level skills have received some attention, the same
cannot be said for skills for which formal education is not a
prerequisite. This means that the poor are doubly hit first
because of poverty and second because of poor access to
formal education. DDU-GKY seeks to fill this gap by imparting
17

specific set of knowledge, skills and attitude needed by the

poor to access full time jobs in the formal sector.

Skilling and placement under DDU-GKY involves eight distinct

steps:
i. Awareness building within the community on the
opportunities
ii. Identifying rural youth who are poor
iii. Mobilising rural youth who are interested
iv. Counselling of youth and parents
v. Selection based on aptitude
vi. Imparting knowledge, industry linked skills and attitude
that enhance employability
vii. Providing jobs that can be verified through methods that
can stand up to independent scrutiny, and which pays
above minimum wages
viii. Supporting the person so employed for sustainability
after placement

There are five types of interventions that DDU-GKY

supports. All are executed with the help of 3 Project
Implementing Agency (PIAs) and retention is tracked . The
preference is on Placement Linked Skill Development
courses which are of longer duration. These interventions
are for:
18

(i) Persons who are placed after a training program

on skills, soft skills, English and IT with a minimum
course duration of 576 hours.
(ii) Persons who are placed after a training 5 program
on skills, soft skills , English and IT which includes a
two part training program of nine months + skill
training. The nine month period is used to enable
acquisition of a National Institute of Open
Schooling (NIOS) qualification (8th or 10th class),
and the skill training is for acquisition of standard
skills, soft skills, English and IT intervention where
the skill course will be a minimum of 576 hours.
(iii) Persons who are placed in a foreign country after
a customised training program with minimum
duration of 576 hours
(iv) Persons who are placed after a minimum of 576
hours training program with a provision 6 for On-
the-Job Training (OJT) . (v) Persons who are placed
in a job with a minimum salary of Rs. 10000 per
month, after an Industry internship of 12 months
duration in entities having a turnover of average
Rs. 100 crore in previous three years
19

Vision of DDU-GKY

Sansad Aadarsh Grams of our project districts to disseminate
information and make BPL Community aware of the DDU-GKY
Scheme and the benefits of getting their youths enrolled with the
free Placement Linked Skill Development Training Programme. The
tools and Techniques used for mobilization are-

6.Meeting with SHG for mobilization of DDUGKY Candidates

with the help of BMC.

A self-help group (commonly abbreviated SHG) is a financial

intermediary committee usually composed of 12 to 25 local
women between the ages of 18 and 50. Most self-help groups are
in India, though they can be found in other countries, especially in
South Asia and Southeast Asia. A SHG is generally a group of
union. Money is collected from those who are able to donate and
given to members in need.
21

Members may also make small regular savings contributions over

a few months until there is enough money in the group to
begin lending. Funds may then be lent back to the
members or to others in the village for any purpose. In
India, many SHGs are linked with banks for the delivery of
micro-credit.

Project Objectives:

1) To organize the poor house holds into their own

institutions where the members will harness their
potential and come out of Poverty.

2) To provide constant facilitation support to these

organizations so as to enable the members to
participate fully and directly and take decisions on all
issues affecting their lives.

3) To create and develop a large pool of social capital in

the institutions of the poor for providing continuous
support in their Endeavour to come out of poverty.

4) To build a sensitive support mechanism for these

organizations of the poor to emerge into self-managed
and self-reliant institutions and work independently
beyond the project period.

Attending SHG meeting

I have attened a SHG meeting in the Resident of Smt sukla Rani

Debnath with the group of 8 people on 16-10-2022 at 12:23 PM
regarding the Advantage,Aim,Scheme of SHG etc.
Following are the advantages of SHG:

1. Members can take loans from the groups savings themselves on a

decided rate of interest. The rate of interest is much lower than the
interest that is charged by the informal sources.

2. After two years of regular savings, the SHG can also take a loan from the
bank. The loan is given in the name of the group and creates tremendous
opportunities for the self-employment of the members.

3. Due to SHG, the poor members are able to avail of loans even in the
absence of collateral.

4. Many women as members of SHGs have become economically

independent. This has led to women's empowerment at the rural levels.
