of the Rural Management and Development Department, Government of Sikkim, under the
aegis of the Department of Drinking Water Supply, Ministry of Rural Development,
Government of India. It is observable that after the implementation of TSC, the mentality of
the people on general consciousness about sanitation has dramatically shifted over the years
and they have gained the value of health and hygiene, environmental sanitation and its co-
relation to socioeconomic value. People across the villages have shown keen interest in the
usage of constructed latrines, personal hygiene, domestic and village cleanliness.
In context to the village-sanitation, the Gram Panchayat is 100% covered and each household
and Public/ Private institution having hygienic toilets with water facilities. Villagers of the
Gram are maintaining this achievement and responsibility and stepping towards making it the
Adarsh Gram. The detail, assessment of the sanitation status of the GP is given in table 1.6.

1.15 Agriculture and Horticulture
Tingvong GP in North Sikkim and its adjacent areas are traditionally known for Large
Cardamom Plantation. This is a high value Cash Crop; however, over recent years there has
been a regular decline in Large Cardamom yield due to old age of the bush and prevailing
viral diseases. The revival of cardamom cultivation is a dire need of the farmers in the GP to
reinstate its old farming practice and to address the matter of a declining standard of
support.t.

Photo 1: Cardomom saplings planted in revival mission
Under SAGY initiative, massive large cardamom plantation was done with more disease
resilient seedling under convergence with HCCDD and MGNREGA, wherein, HCCDD
provided inputs and MGNREGA provided manpower. This should be an important step
towards reviving the large cardamom plantation, which in turn would improve the standard of
living of the people over the years.
Apart from large cardamom, the village is producing orange, guava, organic vegetables,
ginger, turmeric and other cash crops in cluster farming pattern. However, there are no rural
markets in the proximity of the village. Had there been a better road condition these products
can be transported to nearby towns such as Mangan and Singtam in the range of 30 to 50 Km.
1.16 Animal Husbandry and Livestock Management
Animal Husbandry Centre located at Tingvong is playing a vital role in the Gram Panchayat.
Cattle, Goatery, Piggery, and Poultry farming are some important alternative source of
livelihood.
The Gram Panchayat has 4 (Four) Milk unions registered with the North District Milk Union.
Initially the units were performing well, but poor road condition and lack of transportation
facility eventually led to their closure. Reviving these units is the dire need of the GP to
promote Animal Husbandry in the future.

Adopted by the individual villagers, Piggery farming is more popular in the GP. Pig breeding
cell located at the Veterinary Centre in the village facilitates the villagers with animal health
services. Apart from animal health, cell is presently breeding 20 piglets.
1.16.1 Livestock Profile
Ninety-two percent households have chicken on an average of 5-10 chicken per household.
85 % households have cattle and 84% and 82 % households have goats and Pigs respectively.
The details of the livestock profile of the GP are given in table 1.16

1.17 Irrigation
The irrigation facility through MIC is available in the Gram Panchayat through various
departmental schemes except in two wards of upper belt, which wholly depend on rain. An
effort to resolve this crisis is underway by Horticulture and Cash Crop Development
Department, Government of Sikkim, by constructing a tank with 50,000 l capacity. The
detail, assessment of drinking and irrigation structures are presented in table 1.17.

difficulties, especially for school, institutions, and offices located at the village.
On the other hand, there are households provided with 2-point free electricity under various
schemes of the Government.

In addition, Gram Panchayat is connected with 10 nos of street lighting facility and demand
for additional 20 has been placed to Energy & Power Department, Government of Sikkim.

and it can assist in the evolution of entrepreneurship. Two house-based handlooms Industry
run by Self-help groups are producing handloom materials. The bags produced by traditional
Lepcha design are of good quality and not so expensive. Due to lack of marketing, these
products find a place only in local fair and Expo. At present Government is taking initiative
to train 50 individuals of village to develop cluster handlooms and handicraft manufacture.

Jan-Feb 2015
1. Preparation of the Village Development Plan
2.2 Collection of Baseline Data
Second important task in the process of preparation of VDP was the collection of baseline
data from the field and data entry.
2.3 Participatory Rural Appraisal
Participatory rural appraisal is the process that studies the society, interacts with the village
people to understand them and their needs, and finds out the ways to fulfil it, by learning
from them. It is a process of collecting different kinds of data, identifying and mobilizing
intended groups and encouraging their participation and opening ways in which the intended
groups can participate in decision-making, project design, execution, and monitoring are
important.
The various methods used under the PRA are as follows:
Social/Village Map: Social Map is a visual depiction of all man-made structures in a

village or an area. It shows human habitation, the location and nature of housing,
infrastructure such as roads, drains, schools, health outlets, drinking-water facilities,
water channels and places of worship, settlement patterns including location houses
for marginalized groups.
Photo 7: Preparation of Social Map
Resource Map: Resource map is one of the most commonly used PRA methods next
to social map. While the social map focuses on habitation, community facilities,
roads, temples, etc., the resource map focuses on the natural resources in the locality
and depicts land, hills, rivers, fields, vegetation etc. A resource map may cover
habitations as well.

Photo 8: Preparation of Resource Map
Transect walk: a systematic walk along a defined path (transect) across the
community area together with the local people to explore the vegetation, habitation,
infrastructure, water and sanitation conditions, crops, undulation of the topography
etc. by observing, asking, listening and producing a transect diagram.
Venn diagram: It is used for two dimensional institutional analysis or comparative

analysis of institutions against two different parameters.
Seasonality Analysis:
 analysis of variations in issues/dimensions affecting the lives of people, like
food availability, availability of employment, prevalence of diseases)
according to season/month/time;
 analysis of variance in livelihood of people/communities according to
season/month;
 Analysis of seasonal variation in the community's response to processes,
institutions, structures, policies etc.

Photo 9: Preparation of Seasonality Calendar
Apart from this, there are other techniques such as wellbeing analysis, livelihood analysis,
and semi-structured interviews.

CHAPTER 3
SITUATION ANALYSIS
3.1 Situation Analysis for Becoming Poverty Free
3.1.1 Introduction
Situation analysis of poverty free GP aims to provide a systematic process to identify the
poor households using a participatory approach and then goes one-step further by taking up
SWOT analysis at the household level to create livelihood assets in the lands of the poor.
This will entail detailed household level planning and at least 50% of the labour budget of the
gram Panchayat will be earmarked for creating livelihood assets in the estates of the poor,
with the remaining can be utilised for creating community assets.
The annual development plans will be able to respond to the new emerging needs of the area,
the lessons learnt from the past implementation and the new works that may be approved by
the Central Government.
3.1.2 Wealth Class and Identifying Rural Poor
While ranking the households into wealth groups, the critical criteria used is “Annual
Household Income”, all other measures designated in the matrix below related to “land
ownership”, “housing”, assets etc. are solely advisory or indicative in nature.
Households having an annual income of less than Rs. 15000 per annum, which means
monthly income of less than Rs. 1250, having less than 0.5 acre land or landless / near
landless, mainly agriculture labour (khetala), share cropping (adhia / kutia) and having semi
pucca or kutcha house is categorised as very poor.
The precedence was to distinguish the very poor category household falling under the above
named class. In the case of non-existence or less number of households falling below the
above category, 20% of the poorest households are listed and regarded. Table 3.1 presents a
statewide standard for each wealth category.

3.2 Situation Analysis for Better Rural Connectivity
3.2.1 Introduction
Situation analysis for better rural connectivity focuses mainly on rural roads. Rural roads are
a key component of rural development and life line for flow of goods and services. As we are
aware that the people of the village depend upon a road for their day-to-day tasks, this
infrastructural development will supports the rural people to access low cost of
transportation, high quality inputs, development of rural markets, opportunities in

employment sectors. Inadequate and poor road connectivity may put disconnect from
education and health facilities.

3.1.5 Issues of Rural Road Connectivity in Tingvong
Road between CWC and Sixth mile is not in good condition. Landslide near sixth mile
washes the road every year during rainy season. It was reported that at times villagers have to
remain within the village for 3 months. People bear to walk for four hours to reach the Block

office during these months for official works. Lack of proper maintenance of the roads and
inadequate drainage and cross drains can be attributed for the present status.
In addition to above, very weak bridge on River Kanaka connecting the village with Block is
almost in dilapidated condition. The capacity of the bridge is only 2 tons permitted by the
Roads and Bridges Department. Heavy vehicles are restricted and this has imposed high cost
of transportation of bulk materials to the villagers.
Thus, Seasonal cutoff of road network and dilapidated condition of the hanging bridge are the
two most important issues that need to be addressed with the utmost priority. The problem of
landslides can be addressed by construction of a reinforced support wall and widening of
roads and the present bridge needs to be supplanted by a steel bridge.
3.2.6: Demand for Repair of Road and Bridge
The villagers have also demanded new road connectivity to vital areas inaccessible until
date. Apart from stabilizing the landslide, need was felt to repair the full stretch of access
road to the GP to make it an all weather route. The detail assessment is given in table 3.14.
Table 3.14: Activity plan for all weather road connectivity in Tingvong GP

3.3 Situation Analysis for Better Telecom and Internet Facility
3.3.1 Introduction
In the present age of information and technology where other areas are talking about e-
governence, e-education, e-commerce, Internet Village, etc., Tinvong GP, and its adjacent
areas are still on dark ages of internet. The GP is not in congruence with the Government of
India policies towards Panchayati Raj Institution based on e-Panchayati Raj. Thus, digital
revolution is yet to make a debut in the GP and its adjacent areas of Dzongu.
It was found that the maximum number of villagers own mobile phones and few have
personal computers, but they are used for playing music and games, as there is no network
connectivity. The oddest of all are the public institutions, as they have to wait for postal
letters for the information, circulars, and notifications when other counterparts avail

immediately through emails and websites. Thus, internet connectivity is another issue of the
GP that requires immediate attention.
3.3.2 Assessment of Available Connection
Detail assessment of the tele-communication and internet facilities was conducted and is
shown in table 3.15.
Table 3.15: Assessment on network availability in Tingvong GP
Number of telephone connections Not available

After the assessment it was found that the quality of connectivity is patchy, available in some
places such as high hills and reliability of connection was inadequate. Public have to travel
more than 23 Km to district headquarters to avail internet facility. Apart from the public,
institutions of the GP such as schools and positions are also the victim of lack of internet
facilities.
3.3.3 Possible Cause for the Situation
The possible causes of this situation are remoteness of GP and inadequate service providers.
Most of the private service providers have not taken the initiative because; the village is least
populated and possible incidence of larger fix cost than the returns.
3.3.4 People’s Perception on Better Telecommunication Internet Facility

People‟s perception is the urgent installation of the Mobile tower at Tingvong, which would
benefit 168 households in daily communication and public institutions in prompt delivery of
their service (table 3.16)

The main objectives of the meeting were to sensitize the panchayats and the public about the concept and
objective of the Scheme, to review the status of the ongoing schemes/programmes in the GP and explore ways
and means to further the developmental process to realize the dream of an Adarsh Gram with the active
participation and involvement of the local populace.
The Hon’ble MP, in his address, highlighted that SAGY is a concept conceived by the Hon’ble PM to realize the
dream of a prosperous rural India in the years to come. He added that the scheme mandates each Member of
Parliament to adopt a village/Gram Panchayat Unit for a period of two years and guide and nurture it to
transform it into a model village for the others to follow suit. It was further stressed that no separate funds are
earmarked for the scheme but the same have to be channelized from the resources available for the
implementation of the existing array of developmental schemes in the State. The presence of the Heads of
Departments of importantsectoral/line departments like Tourism, Forests, Roads, Horticulture & Agriculture
today were to make developmental issues clear to the public and simultaneously hear from them about their
aspirations and ideas of development of their village. He concluded adding that the concept of an Adarsh Gram
would only bear fruit with the active participation, involvement and cooperation of the people.
The Commissioner, RM&DD, Shri.SandeepTambe,IFS further highlighted on the concept of SAGY and
summarized to the gathering about the activities carried out till date by the Nodal Department, RM&DD to
realize the goal envisaged by SAGY.

The meeting was also addressed by the Hon’bleDy. Speaker and the Chief Guest, Hon’ble Minister for
Agriculture & Animal Husbandry, ShriSomnathPoudyal, who pledged their support to realize the dream of an
Adarsh Gram.
An interactive session followed wherein the following major issues and ideas, among others, were deliberated
upon and action points drawn.
(i) Tourism, because of the pristine beauty and scenic location of the area, can become an important
economic activity of people who, at present, depend primarily on agriculture for their livelihood.
Therefore, development of the trekking trail from Tholung to Kishong Lake, infrastructural
support for furthering the concept of homestays, a meditation centre in the
TingvongGumpa(monastery) complex, improvement in the existing road condition and
construction of parking yards at the numerous tourist spots in the GP were proposed in the
Tourism sector.
(ii) Under the Forestry Sector, avenue plantations were proposed. It was also finalized that
plantation of around 300 saplings of various species would be done in the area on the World
th
Environment Day on the 6 of June, 2015. The Principal Secretary also informed the gathering
that with the declaration of the Khangchendzonga National Park(KNP) as a World Heritage Site,
tourism would get a major boost.
(iii) Under the Agriculture Sector, Large Cardamom, being a high value cash crop, was prioritized.
Around 30 hectares of large cardamom and 10 hectares of mandarin orange plantations are
being taken up this year in convergence with MGNREGA, it was informed. The concept and
timeline for achievement of an ORGANIC SIKKIM was highlighted to the gathering by the
Secretary, Agriculture and Horticulture. The permission for practice of jhumcultivation due to
paucity of cultivable land in the area as a result of the increase in the green cover over the years
was also discussed.
(iv) Under the Roads and Bridges Sector, the public highlighted that bad condition roads were a
major public concern as it had an adverse impact on the overall development of the village.
The Secretary, Roads highlighted that Himagiri, a hydropower developer in the area has taken up
the improvement works of the 11 kms. stretch of the road along with the construction of 02
bridges falling under this alignment at an estimated cost of Rs. 15 crores under the Corporate
Social Responsibility(CSR). Assurance was also given that the stalled work would resume within a
month. It was also proposed that the arterial road of the GP would be named after the first MLA
from Dzongu Assembly Constituency and a native of this village, Late LodenTsheringLepcha.
(v) The public of the area also demanded for a cadastral survey as there was confusion among the
land holders on the ownership of the plots leading to disputes and ill will among the people and
would also become a source of enmityamong the future generations.
The meeting ended with a vote of thanks given by the District Collector, North District.
