PMJANMAN Empowerment: 7 Surprising Positive Interventions in K.B. Asifabad

Major Highlights of the 7 Interventions

1. Surprising planning session: Implementation Strategies

A collaborative planning meeting was held between the State Prabhari Officer, District Collector, Project Officer, and department leads. Departments ranging from tribal welfare, health, education, rural development, to forest & agriculture reviewed implementation strategies. Detailed timelines, resource allocation, and milestones were laid out. The meeting resulted in a consolidated plan of action to aggressively push the seven interventions.

2. Surprising evaluation: Key deliverables discussed

The team sat down to examine crucial deliverables, including:

• Enrollment figures in healthcare schemes

• Crop diversification metrics

• Handicraft training session schedules

• Water‑security infrastructure targets

• School attendance rates
  Each line department presented progress dashboards, enabling quick identification of laggards and the redirection of resources where needed.

3. Surprising site visit: DA‑JGUA implementation review

The delegation visited a DA‑JGUA (Direct Access – Janjati Gram Unnati Abhiyan) project site. They inspected the establishment of community centers, nutritional support services, and skill training workshops. Field-level beneficiaries shared firsthand accounts of enhanced access to microloans, skill-development classes, and group activities initiated under DA‑JGUA.

4. Surprising campaign sites inspection

Visits were made to several on-ground campaign sites targeting awareness—covering hygiene, school enrolment, crop insurance, and health check-ups. Interactive sessions with tribal families informed officials about behavioural change initiatives and the assimilation of government benefits.

5. Surprising PVTG empowerment rollout

The officer emphasized women-led self-help groups generating crafts and local produce. Youth vocational training for carpentry, tailoring and agro-input services was inspected. Selected PVTGs reported early income increase and access to government schemes like PM-KISAN and MGNREGS.

6. Surprising infrastructure push

The delegation checked on newly built access roads, solar street lights, and water supply structures, which are pivotal to unlocking economic activity. A mini‑water treatment plant under the tribal water mission was inaugurated during the visit.

7. Surprising accountability & future roadmap

An accountability mechanism was developed – fortnightly progress reports submitted to the Collector, monthly reviews with the State Prabhari Officer. A roadmap charting next 6‑month targets was charted, along with stronger coordination across all implementing departments.
