    28/11/11
    The team's day started off with a meeting with the CEO of Gwalior District, Mr. Ashish Kumar, in the
    Jila Panchayat office. He made us aware of the statistics like general population, rural population,
    labour work force, wage rates etc. of the district. We were then taken on a field visit. The field visit
    gave us a first-hand experience and learning about the different government schemes being
    implemented in rural areas.
    29/11/11
    The team was taken to the collectors office so that we can understand how the Jan Sunwai works. We
    were informed how the process helps to speed up the judicial process and also somewhat eliminates
    the chances of injustice to the people.
    30/12/11
    Present at meeting of Watershed Chairman and Secretaries at Jila Panchayat with CEO of Gwalior
    District.
    01/12/11
    The team was given the day off to work on the presentation and gather data about livelihood options
    other than farming that were suitable for the climate and geographical conditions of the area. These
    options were supposed to be presented to the farmers of Lohagarh village along with convincing
    enough data.
    02/12/11
    The team presented our research and findings about viable livelihood options to the farmers of
    Lohagarh village which was a highly interactive and successful session.

    03/12/11
    The team left for IIM Indore.
    Reflections on the entire trip rural areas, people, govt, life
    Often when we think of rural life in India -vivid effigies of mud plastered walls, shady trees, green
    fields, dung cakes, uneven roads, bullock carts and deep dark wells which becharm our minds. Our
    perception was not quite different from the others. But to our surprise the awareness level of people in
    rural areas has changed significantly. The attitude of earning enough to meet their basic needs and
    meet livelihood is gradually shifting. They have started craving for smaller luxuries of life as the
    disposable incomes of villagers are rising. They are now very much aware of brands, urban products,
    modern equipments and technologies. But again not everyone has access to all these amenities. The
    people from lower strata of society are often influenced by the decisions made by the elders and the
    Panchayat of the village. Significant efforts have been made to impart basic primary education to rural
    children by the government. Infrastructure and reach of the village from the city were still a problem.
    Farming has been the main occupation of villagers in Gwalior district. However, Government has
    taken significant efforts to engage people in other occupations like poultry farming, dairy products
    manufacturing etc. Also the villagers seemed receptive of the various ideas which had been suggested
    by us, as an alternate source of income in addition to their fixed earnings. In all the rural population
    cannot be underestimated anymore and can act as a significant market. The rural myth of people being
    ignorant is thus soon to be busted and this nascent stage in the change in the outlook of urban people
    about rural people can help us in the long run
    Great feat of a local visionary, developmental wonder or humbling experience
    During our visit at Jila Panchayat Gwalior the present CEO told us about the vision of
    previous collector as he was from Botany background so he has great interest in Plantation.
    He was involved in extensive plantation scheme around Gwalior district. Even people from
    other parts of India visit Gwalior to see Lohagarh (One of the plantation site). Also under his
    vision villages which were once unapproachable were connected by roads under GOI
    (MNREGA) and MP Govt. Scheme.
    Observation of schemes through field visit to Dabra, Bhitarwar, Murar, Sikrauda and ZILA
    PANCHAYAT PARIYOJANA meetings and our experience
    The Rural Immersion program was an overwhelming experience as we got sensitized to the rural
    lifestyle, environment, communication and behaviour etc. We were informed about various schemes
    pertinent to the betterment of the rural population in blocks and panchayats in Gwalior district. The
    field visits to a few panchayats helped us to understand the intricacies of these schemes. The table
    below provides important schemes under progress in Gwalior district (Exhibit 1). We also learnt about
    the various forms of livelihood followed in different blocks; farming, cattle-breeding, and milk dairy
    are the prominent ones. After developing a greater sensitivity and insight about the issues faced by the
    majority of the population, we presented them different ways to generate income. (Making carpet,
    candle, etc. and fish-harvesting including shoe-making)
