3.0 Introduction:

Mapping of the village is a major technique of P.R.A. (Participatory Rural Appraisal) and R.R.A. (Rapid Rural Assessment). It is a technique that helps a team to learn about the social structure of a community and how differences among households to land and other asset holdings and access to difference services to identify groups and social categories. It is a different form of map that demonstrates the major and minor resources and the social structure of a village. It is a different form of geographical map because the villagers using their own ideas and techniques draw it. There fore, a village map gives an almost clear vision of the different resources and social condition of a village.

Through the help of P.R.A. technique, we have been able to generate enough feedback from the villagers to construct the village map. This was our first step in P.R.A. building. Village map includes the overall picture of the Gram with its geographical data. It also identifies the location of homesteads, different streets/ paras, schools, markets, shops, ponds, mosques, rivers, crop fields etc. social map is also useful as an introduction to discussing inequalities and social problems.

3.1. Village Mapping Procedure:

To construct a village map by the participation of villagers we had used the following steps,

Planned and organized a meeting for the entire community. It was scheduled for a time when both women and men of different ages can attend and that all social groups had been invited.
A large open space was found and the ground cleared.
Participants were then asked to scratch out the outline figure of the total village.
Marked paths and other major landmarks such as Temples, graveyard, cropping lands, water sources, other important places etc.
Started recording on a separate sheet of paper as soon as the basic outline had been established.
Asked the villagers to select one or more

    Decentralized Planning

    India is rightly regarded as the land of villages. In a country where 72.22% of the population (2001 Census) lives in 5,80,781 villages, the importance of rural local government popularly known as Panchayati Raj in India, is self-evident. Indeed, the idea of rural local government is part of a larger concern for social & economic amelioration of the people, a task to which the country is irrevocably committed. The Panchayats have been among the oldest political institutions of India and the very use of this term has a deeply nostalgic association tending to take the mind to the distant & dim past. One need not go into the distant past and may, instead, start with the inauguration, on 2nd October, 1952 of the Community Development (CD) Programme. This date was chosen to synchronise the birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, to whom nothing was dearer than rural amelioration. After the Community Development Programme was launched in 1952, it was realized that without an agency at the village level “which could represent the entire community, assume responsibility and provide the necessary leadership for implementing development programmes”, real progress in rural development could not take place. It was against this background that a Committee headed by Balwantrai G.Mehta (1957) was appointed to make recommendations for the revitalization of the Panchayati Raj system and define its role in the development process. The Balvantrai Mehta Committee published its report (1957) recommending a 3-tier system of rural local government, called Panchayati Raj (in India). The principal thrust of the report was towards decentralization of the democratic institutions in an effort to shift decision centers closer to the people to enable their participation and to put up bureaucracy under local popular control. The State Governments were persuaded to accept the recommendations and to decentralize adequate powers to popularly…
