ANNEXURE-A H.P. COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT (HIMCOSTE), B-34, SDA COMPLEX, KASUMPTI, SHIMLA-171 009

VIGYAN GRAM SCHEME

1. Introduction:

The concept of "Vigyan Grams" is to establish a nodal place, which could act as a centre for technology transfer and be a bridge between Laboratories and Universities in the State and the houses in the far flung areas. These "Vigyan Grams" could provide options for improving the yield of potential farm produce, income generation from off-farm activities as well as conservation and efficient management of existing natural resources through implementation of appropriate technologies for sustainable rural development in the State. Adopting villages under this initiative, would provide an opportunity to directly benefit all sections of a village community in an integrated, efficient and participatory fashion. These Centres would be called as "Vigyan Grams".

The "Vigyan Gram" also aims to involve the Himachal Pradesh Council for Science, Technology & Environment (HIMCOSTE) more directly in the development of model villages through scientific and technological interventions. The State Council realizes the importance of promising technologies and therefore, strongly perceives the need for large scale demonstration and establishment of Technology, Resource Centres in rural and marginal areas of the State.

Under this scheme, the HIMCOSTE envisages to demonstrate, train and build capacities of local farmers and other user groups in the State and to make them adopt some of the promising, low cost, hill specific rural technologies. The technologies would be implemented, depending on the geographical conditions, topography and current livelihood options and available natural resources. A detailed socio economic survey by an independent team/organisation would proceed the implementation of the activities. This survey would analyse all the secondary data available on parameters like livelihood options, literacy, poverty, livestock, horticulture, agriculture, irrigation, land holding, natural resources, employment opportunities etc. The participatory appraisal thereafter would also collect primary data on the above parameters after site visit and interaction with all sections of the village community.

A list of the technologies available/being developed by Universities and Institutions of the State and of the National Government located in the State would be demonstrated in the Vigyan Grams. NTOs/Semi–Govt. organisations with proven skill of community mobilization, institutional5666 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 अक्तूबर, 2018/30 आश्विन, 1940 building, technology demonstration, training, marketing of products etc. would be actively involved in the Vigyan Grams. Tie up would be also made with others State Councils in various States in India and also National/International Ievel Institutions Organisations for bringing technologies to the identifies "Vigyan Grams".

2. Key issues in rural area of Himachal Pradesh :

(a) Agriculture and Horticulture :

While agriculture seems to have been the most suited for the mid-hills, the upper reaches of the hill States region provided the ideal environment for the development of horticulture. In fact, agriculture and horticulture emerged as the two most important occupations of the people of Himachal Pradesh. In 1958, while more than 90 percent of the population of the State was directly or indirectly dependent on these activities for their livelihood, in the upper hill States region, the dependence was more than 94 %. Agro-climatic conditions of the region are entirely different from those in the plains. The area is entirely mountainous and has a deeply broken topography with complex geological structures. It has subtropical to alpine flora at different altitudes. The availability of agricultural land in this hilly region is limited.

(b) Water for drinking and irrigation :

Water is the basic requirement for one's survival and access to clean potable water is an essential human right that can't be denied to anyone. With increasing population, industrialization and globalization, the demand for water is an all time high. Day by day increase in demand for water is putting a great stress on the natural water resources. The uneven distribution of water across time (temporal) and space (spatial) as well as the increased consumption and usage along with the problems of pollution, contamination, misuse and wastage; have given rise to water crisis in different parts of the State.

The surface water which is available in rivers, lakes, ponds, streams etc. is found above the ground and is naturally replenished by precipitation. On the other hand, ground water is the water that seeps below the earth's surface and is found in the cracks and spaces in soil and rocks. Both the surface water as well as the ground water resources of the state plays an important role in agriculture, livestock production, power generation and industries apart from fulfilling domestic requirements of the people. However, due to increasing population burden along with improved standards of building, the demand for water is constantly rising whereas the per capita availability of water is decreasing, rapidly.

(c) Energy :

The State has Hydro power potential of about 25,000 MW, including about 2300 MW of Small hydro capacities, categorised as renewal source. About 10,000 MW capacities has already been harnessed and additional about 8000 MW capacities are at various stages of development and the State is an Energy surplus State.

The State has embarked upon 100% clean electricity policy and accordingly since 2014-15, the HPSEBL is meeting its 100% requirement from hydel sources, with a small quantum from nuclear and solar, mainly from Central Govt. sources. State has shares in coal and gas based power plants of the NTPC and this quantum is available over and above its annual requirement and hence these are either surrendered or traded, so that net requirement for consumption is met from clean sources, including renewable.

Himachal Pradesh Government Energy Development Agency (HIMURJA) is implementing the Renewable Energy Programme in the State with the support of Central financial assistance available under the Renewable Energy Programme on the Solar Photovoltaic Systems such as Solar Street Lighting Systems, Solar Home Lighting System and Solar Power Plants, said government.

3. Vision:

Sustainable rural development of "Vigyan Grams" by improving the yield of potential farm produce, income generation from off-farm activities as well as conservation and efficient management of existing natural resources through implementation of appropriate technologies available within the State or at National and International Level.

4. Objectives:

A model "Vigyan Gram" project would have the following important objectives:

(1) Demonstration of improved/ alternative and already available hill specific technologies in the "Vigyan Grams" at selected field sites.

(2) Development of a frame work and participatory research approaches for self- sufficiency within in the system on short and long term basis.

(3) Capacity building through training/live demonstrations/field exercise of target groups on a regular basis.

(4) Guidance and support for field implementation of technology and subsequent monitoring, evaluation, follow-up and adoption.

(5) Make the model village a "hub" that could attract resources for the development of other villages in its vicinity and the replication thereof.

(6) Contribute towards socio-economic empowerment by engaging all sections of the community towards a comprehensive village development.

(7) Create and sustain a culture of cooperative living for inclusive and rapid development.

5. Site Selection:

For the implementation of "Vigyan Gram" scheme, the Rural Development Department and District Administration will provide names of poorest panchayats in each of the districts for the implementation of this programme, initially in the Mid Himalaya Region of the State. The selection criteria of the sites will be on the basis of proportion of BPL population, altitude and road accessibility.

In the first phase, under mentioned five panchayats have been selected for demonstration of various scientific technologies. Later depending the success of the programme; the number of "Vigyan Grams" could be increased in the five districts.

i. Initiatives Govt. and Private Universities, R&D institutes, NGOs in H.P. and various Govt. organizations in Uttarakhand has to be pooled into demonstrate their technologies in the Vigyan Gram Panchayats.

ii. Outcomes of R&D Projects sanctioned by HIMCOSTE under R&D projects to various Research Institutions will demonstrate and conduct training programmes and extension activities in these "Vigyan Grams" after completion of one/two year's activities in their research projects.

iii. Visit of scientists and experts to the Vigyan Grams would ensure proper handholding during technology transfer.

iv. The Socio-economic survey reports would be the basis for preparation of a "Science and Technology Plan" of the Vigyan Grams by dovetailing various technologies.

7. Socio-economic survey of Vigyan Gram:

Expression of interest will be invited from various agencies empanelled by Himachal Pradesh Institute of Public Administration (HIPA) or by open tender for carrying out socio economic impact assessment survey in these five panchayats.
