A Development Plan For Making Reha A Model Village 1

1. Executive Summary
S
OS Children’s Villages of India, under its “model village” programme has identified Reha, an isolated
& economically backward village in Kutch district of Gujarat during mid-2016. The village, comprising
of two hamlets, Mota Reha & Nana Reha, having 2658 residents, is one of the “younger villages” of
the state having 1079 (about 40%) children below 18 years & 1528 (about 57%) residents below the age
of 35 years. A preliminary feasibility study was conducted during the month of June-July 2016, followed by
a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) exercise in October 2016. The findings of the feasibility study & the
PRA exercise revealed that the literacy rate of the village is 68%, which is 10% below the state average.
It has a significantly high rate of school drop-outs, with only about 30% school going children able to
complete high school education. The study also revealed that the village has poor sanitation facilities; with
more than 50% families going for open defecation. The village has no regular medical service facilities
both for human & animal; no medicine shops, no pathological lab or diagnostic centres within a radius of
6-7 kilometres. Most of the people have abandoned agriculture due to lack of irrigation facilities; animal
husbandry is also suffering due to shortage of quality fodder, veterinary services, distress selling of milk
and lack of market linkage to milk & value added milk products. The village also lacks crucial infrastructures
like all-weather road, street lights, playground, public parks, entertainment facilities, village library, market
information centre, internet-based service centres, markets, round-the clock public transport, etc. Among
the social bottlenecks to development, issues like country liquor addiction, conservative social norms;
gender discrimination; restriction of movement for women & grown-up girls, depleting male-to-female ratio,
etc. top the chart.
Proposed for a period of 5 years, the goal of this “Model Village” initiative is to nurture, enhance and sustain
the vibrant & dynamic socio-economic ecosystems of the Reha village, empower the village community
to make optimum utilisation of their resources that enable them to increase their asset-base and enhance
their income generation opportunities. This initiative will improve the flow of information & services to the
village, making the village community more resilient & informed, and will help enhance an environment
of social equity & social justice, while ensuring participation of all sections, particularly women in all the
developmental activities in the village.
Some of the important milestones planned to be achieved under this “Model Village” initiative is to
increase the literacy level by 10% (thereby, making it at-par with the literacy rate of the Gujarat state),
bringing down school drop-out rates to 0% (from present rate of about 30%), open defecation free village,
increase family income by at least 200%, formation & strengthening of various community structures such
as Bal Panchayats, youths clubs, Self-Help Groups (25 numbers), village education committee, village
health committee, etc., to ensure their full participation in the development of their village and strengthen
school management committees, gram sabha & gram panchayat to secure different Government projects
& benefits, bringing in bank finances for the economic activities, establishing market linkages to the
enterprises and facilitate construction & renovation of essential infrastructures in the village like all-weather
roads, street lights, village library, play-ground, public park, value-addition centres for agriculture & dairy
products etc. which will lead to holistic development of the village.

4. P
articipatory Rural
Appraisal (PRA) at
Reha village
Village community participating in PRA exercise at Reha village
(October 2016)
“Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) is an approach

to data collection that grew out of rural development
work. PRA is widely used since it applies traditional
methods by which communities share information,
such as asset mapping. PRA is an assessment
and learning process that empowers the village
community to create the information base they need
for participatory planning and action.”

P
articipatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) is an
approach used by developmental agencies
involved in rural & social development.
The approach aims to incorporate the knowledge
and opinions of rural people in the planning
and management of development projects and
programmes.
A PRA exercise was conducted by SOS Children’s

Villages of India in Reha village during October
2016, in which the village communities of both
the hamlets of the village participated. More than
500 participants, including children, youth, women
and men of the village, together with members
of the Gram Panchayat actively took part in the
PRA which used different tools to analyze different
aspects of the village and prepared a sketch of
the development plan of Reha village.
The following tools were used during the PRA

exercise at Reha village:
