19.0 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

MDGs are derived from the United Nations Millennium Declaration signed in September 2000 to commit

the UN Member States to achieve the set goals by the year 2015 (Box 19.1). Though there are 21 targets and

60 indicators identified at the global level to address the most important needs of the world's poor and

marginalized communities, a subset of 12 targets and 35 indicators are relevant for India and Telangana

State. As the MDGs deadline has been completed, the progress of the state district wise is shown in

Table 19.1

India is a constitutional democracy seeking to address the essential needs of the poorest of poor and

constantly striving to improve the quality of life of its citizens. A recent document named Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs), Targets, CSS, Interventions, Nodal and other Ministries (as on 08.06.2016)

vividly describes its efforts. http://niti.gov.in/writereaddata/files/SDGsV20-Mapping080616-DG_0.pdf

Though there are significant achievements of MDGs in Telangana, the progress is uneven across the district

and social groups. The major findings are shown in Table 19.2

19.1 From MDG s to SDG s

Recognizing the Success of the Millenium Development Goals and the fact that a new development agenda

was needed beyond 2015 – countries agreed in 2012 at Rio +20, the UN Conference on Sustainable

Development, to establish an open working group to develop a set of Sustainable Development Goals for

Consideration and appropriate action.

On Completion of target period of MDG s i.e., by 2015, a new set of goals called “Sustainable Development

Goals”, were enunciated by the United Nations targets to be achieved by the member countries by 2030.

(Figure 19.2)

The MDG s targeted developing countries, particularly the poorest while the Sustainable Development

Goals are broad in scope which address the interconnected elements of sustainable Development:

economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection of developed and developing Countries

19.2 Sustainable Development Goals

The new goals are universal and apply to all countries, also recognize that tackling climate change is

essential for sustainable development and poverty eradication. SDG aims to promote urgent action to

combat climate change and its impact.

There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (BOX 19.2) with 169 targets, in contrast to the 8 Millenium

Development Goals with 21 targets.

The Core feature of the SDGs has been the means of implementation – the mobilization of financial

resources – as well as capacity- building and the transfer of environmentally sound technologies.

The goals and targets will stimulate action in areas of critical importance : 5 P's viz., People, Planet,

Prosperity, peace and Partnership (Figure19.3)

Fig 19.2 MDGs to SDGs

development

Fig 19.2 The 5 P's of Sustainable Development



Sustainable development is development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the

ability of future generations to meet their own needs." - World Commission on Environment and

Development

The state government has initiated several social development measures that help in achieving the SDG's.

These development goals meet the need of the people and also help in securing nature for future generation

19.3 Telangana initiatives towards Sustainable Development Goals



A few significant initiatives on this front are, Asara Pensions, Arogya Lakshmi, Revamped Food Security

scheme, Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak, Double–Bed room housing for poor, Mission Bhageeratha,

Mission Kakatiya and several other welfare schemes.

Goal 1: NO POVERTY

Aasara pensions

As a part of social safety-net strategy, Government has introduced Aasara pension scheme, with a view to

ensure secured life with dignity for poor covering the vulnerable groups like widows, weavers, toddy

tappers, old aged persons and AIDS patients, as well as monthly financial assistance to beedi workers

enhancing the monthly pension from Rs. 200 to Rs. 1000 for the old aged, widows, weavers, toddy tappers

and AIDS patients and Rs. 500 to Rs. 1500 for disabled persons, with a view to ensure secured life with

dignity for all the poor.

Aasara Pension Current Status: Dashboard projecting the Tentative Live Pensioners in Telangana State

September Payable in October 2016

The poverty of any region is directly proportional to the health of its

ecosystems. Public policies should ensure health of the ecosystem for

example: healthy forests, grass lands, unpolluted rivers, lakes, etc.

Currently the schemes by the government support the lives of the poor

at their present economic status.

Housing for the poor

The government intends to provide quality and respectable housing to

the poor. The 'housing for the poor' plan provides for two and three

storied buildings with the 2 BHK flats in Hyderabad and other urban areas while they are to be built as

independent houses in rural areas. A pilot has been taken up at IDH Colony in Bhoiguda, Secunderabad. As

many as 396 units - with each comprising of two bedrooms, hall and kitchen - are being constructed in 32

blocks of G+2 on 580 square yards at a cost of Rs 37 crore at 7.9 lakh per flat for the above scheme to

sustainlong, the construction materials should be locally made to enable further generation, to work with

sustainable technologies available.

Box 19.3 Auroville Earth Institute, UNESCO Chair Earthen Architecture

Auroville Earth Institute encourages earthen construction techniques, particularly Compressed Stabilized

Earth Block (CSEB) Building with earth has a great past, but also a promising future

Compressed stabilised earth blocks of various qualities and various stabilised earth based materials. Slag Cement is used mostly for the Construction Purpose.The research aims at making extensive use of raw earth as the main building material, thereby using a local

resource to help develop technologies that are energy saving, eco-friendly and sustainable.

The main research and development is focussed on minimising the use of steel, cement and reinforced

cement concrete (RCC), focussed on alternative stabilizers to cement and alternative water proofing with

stabilized earth, composed of soil, sand, cement, lime, alum and tannin.

Goal 2. ZERO HUNGER

Rs 5 mid-day meal for poor

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) launched a pilot project

offering hot and hygienic meals for the poor at Rs. 5. A total of 50 such centres

offering subsidized meals between 12 noon and 1 p.m. for 300 persons at each

location were set up in different parts of the city.



Box 19.4 Community Managed Sustainable Agriculture - Case Study

?To reduce cost of cultivation by using non-chemical pest management

and low or zero chemical fertilizers.

?To improve net incomes from farming and to sustain agriculture based

livelihoods

?Creating farm based multiple livelihoods to women farmers by

integrating livestock with farming

?To help women farmers by creating drudgery reduction infrastructure at

village level

?To establish food and nutritional security models that can be replicated across the country

?To improve skills and capabilities of women to support farming and farm based activities

?To improve natural resource base in farms of farmers particularly in rain fed mandals by harvesting

rainwater and conserving soil

?To establish community seed banks

Recommendation for Sustainable Agriculture

?

?

?

?

?

?

The government of India should have to phase out what has been promoted in Green Revolution

(hybridization of seeds and use of Chemicals in agriculture in the 60's and 70's)

Economic well being of the people is directly proportional to the health of the ecosystem

Restoration of the water bodies, rivers, and the topsoil of the Grass lands.

The grass land ecosystem must be maintained to ensure the fodder supplies.

Total ban on Chemical fertilizers, pesticides and Hybrid seeds may be implemented.

Organic Farming may be encouraged throughout the State.

Box 19.5 MASANOBU FUKUOKA – ONE-STRAW REVOLUTION

The Fukuoka Method or Natural way of farming was most successful practices in organic

farming. His farming techniques gave the best yields in Japan and practiced successfully in

Asian and European countries.

Direct-seeding, non cultivation, winter rice successions are some of the principles used to

grow best yields compared with conventional farming.

The fundamental difference between Fukuoka's method of farming and conventional

agriculture is that he cooperates with nature rather than attempting to improve or conquer

her. In other words, Fukuoka interferes as little as possible with the plant and animal

communities in his fields.

3. Rice distribution

Around 87.57 lakh eligible families, approximately 2,86,00,000 (two crores eighty six lakh) beneficiaries,

are being supplied rice from 1st January, 2015 at 6 kgs per person at Re. 1 per kg without any ceiling on the

number of members in the family.

To arrive at the eligibility of the BPL families, the family income limit in rural areas has been increased to Rs.

1.50 lakh and in urban areas to Rs. 2 lakh. The land ceiling has also been increased to 3.5acres of wetland

and 7.5acres of dry land.

The GHMC hired Hare Krishna Movement and Akshaya Patra Foundation to provide clean and hygienic food

for the needy offers 450 gm rice, 100 gm dal, 150 gm curry and a spoon of pickle per each meal prepared at

the centralized kitchen of the Hare Krishna Movement at Patancheru. A Committee of Corporators will

monitor the day to day activities of the scheme. The authorities invited donors for the scheme and avail IT

exemptions.

The Government has started supplying superfine rice, or Sanna Biyyam, to schools and hostels benefitting

56 lakh students annually with an additional outlay of Rs 120 crore. More than 12,500 MT of rice is being

distributed for the purpose.

Goal 3: GOOD HEALTH AND WELL BEING

Arogya Lakshmi

Telangana government provides one nutritious meal every day to pregnant and lactating women and

children below the age of six through Anganwadi centres. The scheme was launched officially on January 1,

2015 by Honourable Chief Minister Sri K. Chandrashekar Rao. For women, 200 ml of milk for 25 days a

month and one egg each day will be given with the meal. Children, aged between seven months and three

years are provided with 16 eggs a month in addition to a 2.5 kg food packet. For children aged between 3

and six years, one egg a day in addition to rice, dal, vegetables and snacks is supplied.

A total of 18,96,844 lactating mothers, 5,18,215 infants and 21,58,479 pregnant women were covered

under the scheme expending Rs 627.96 crore in the past year. The quantity of food items supplied under the

scheme has also been increased across all the categories.

To ensure health of the human beings, the following are recommended.

1. Prohibiting cheap liquor in the State

2. Family doctor concept

?House numbers should be allotted to PHC. District hospital, Health centers should have the respective

numbers and the medical profile of the candidates. The data needs to be digitized and made easily

accessible

?At the level of the Asha workers, the number of the PHC is increased so that the service area of the PHC

does not exceed 6000 – 8000 population.

?The PHC s must necessarily consist of a doctor, nurse- both male and female and one computer operator,

an Ambulance, driver accompanied by two doctors and other infrastructure

?When health problem arise the PHC may be informed on priority basis Such that they get first aid. On

further complications if any, the patient may be directed to the next service in emergency.

?Emergency medicine kit must include the life saving medicines.

?To ensure the policies are functional and operated on sustainable basis, systems should be functional on

their own.

?The Doctors in the PHC should have the proactive role. Social and Preventive health care subject may be

put forward- by educating the people on cleanliness, lifestyle etc.

?Family doctor concept: May be encouraged to ensure not a single person is denied medical facility.

?In case of contagious diseases spread, people may be quarantined and necessary treatment can be

provided.

Kalyana Lakshmi/ Shaadi Mubarak

To alleviate financial distress of SC/ST and minority families,

Government decided to sanction a one-time financial assistance of

Rs. 51,000 at the time of marriage for brides who are residents of

Telangana State, for unmarried girls, who have completed 18 years of

age at the time of marriage and whose parental income does not

exceed Rs. 2 lakh per annum. Rs 47 crore and Rs 32 crore disbursed to

9,368 SC and 6,483 ST brides respectively. Another Rs 50 crore was

distributed to 10,533 brides from Minority sections.



Ø

Land distribution to Dalits

Another significant welfare scheme of the government that provides 3 acres of agricultural land to landless

SC women, along with the provision for creation of irrigation facilities, land development and other

agricultural inputs for their sustained livelihood. Government distributed 2,524 acres of land to 959 Dalits

spending Rs 94 crore in the first year.

Sustainability in three acres farm land:

Appropriate tree culture should be carried out by farmers in the area allotted, they can plant trees that have

market value such as timber fruits, vegetables. The Biomass in that area could be vermin-composed;

Mulching may be done in the area. This results in increased moisture retention, rain water harvesting is a

must.

Mission Indradhanush: To eradicate the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) government has launched

'Mission Indradhanush', this scheme helps to achieve immunization as per global standards.

Goal 5: GENDER EQUALITY

Sthreenidhi credit cooperative Federation Ltd., is promoted by the Government and the Mandal samkahyas

to supplement credit flow from banking sector and is a flagship programme of the Government.

SthreeNidhi provides timely and affordable credit to the poor SHG members as a part of the overall strategy

of SERP for poverty alleviation.

Sthreenidhi is in a position to extend credit to the SHGs even in far flung areas of the state in 48 hours to

meet credit needs for exigencies like health, education and other income generation needs like agriculture,

dairy and other activities.

Goal 6: CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

Agriculture being a key priority to the state, the government of Telangana proposes to give renewed focus

to irrigation for revival of agriculture. Under this proposal, Mission Kakatiya a flagship Programme is

initiated, where water bodies are planned to be rejuvenated in a phase manner to increase ayacut area

Mission Kakatiya:

A flagship programme of the government aimed at restoring 46,300 tanks in five years spending Rs 20,000

crore. The initiative will improve the ground water table, reduce the power consumption by farm sector, get

higher yields, spur the growth of livestock and rejuvenate rural economy on the whole.

Telangana Water Grid Project (Mission Bhagheeratha)

Government of Telangana has launched a massive drinking water

supply scheme, “Mission Bhagheeratha”, with a vision to provide

tapped water connection to each and every household in all

habitations. This pioneering scheme has been commended by the

Government of India for other States to emulate. Rural development

with public participation has become the focus of the Government.

NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL (SCHOOL DISTRICT)

?The nearest primary/upper primary school within walking distance from the

child residence, with organised and database maintenance in the district or

region.

?The school will maintain a record of the child performance, progress and

individual requirements if needed. Thus the digital data of the child can be

reviewed instantly by the parents and the teachers.

?MoEFCC notification issued from year 2000 which are revised in 2016 as mandates for government

to collect segregated garbage at the sources. As per the MOEF, the waste should be scientifically

managed.

?There is a need for the waste to be reclaimed, recycled and reused. Government should enable

these processes of Segregation of waste such as plastic, tin, glass, metal etc.

?The liquid waste discharge should be addressed especially in the open Nalla municipalities.

?Due to over population, the Percapita availability of the natural resources is less.

?Sustainability includes ensuring the supply of the natural resources or the raw material on

sustainable basis.
