Socio-Economic profile of (Aroor)Gramapanchayat:-

Most of the population

of the Aroor
Panchayath is mainly
dependent upon the
agriculture – fishery –
coir related jobs. The
price deflation in
agriculture sector and
the increase in the
expenses in the
agriculture sector is
one of the most
important problems
faced by this village.
But due to significant reduction in coir industry caused a substantial increased in

Opportunity for fishery.

It has also created a
lot of job
opportunities in this
sector. But the lack
of care given to
backwaters badly
affected the fishery
industry of this area.
The filling of wells,
ponds and canals
also created a lot of
environmental
problems.
There has been another
innovative practice that
has been introduced to
convert the less fertile
land into artificial ponds
to do fishery activity. The
picture shows conversion
of paddy field into pond
for shrimps and prawn
rearing.

In order to save the

agriculture and fishery sector
the panchayath is now taking
initiatives to increase the
productivity of this area. At
the same time the
panchayath is implementing
projects for exploring the
benefits of information
technology and tourism. The
panchayath is also planning
to implementing biogas
plants to overcome the
waste disposal problems.

PHC Aroor

Analysis and findings:-

From the above mentioned study we found out the road was constructed within a
short span of 2 months and strictly following the proposed schedule time .There
was no discrepancy in the time and fund spent on the construction of the project
.The road has been fulfilling the need of the local people but there is a problem of
lack of fund for maintenance of the road which can cause early destruction of the
road.
Recommendation and suggestion:-
Since the work has been completed sincerely on time with required fund but there
is still scope of improvement in the implementation of the project as the project did
not call for local people participation and lack of fund for maintenance of the work.

Hence following recommendation is required in this case:-

=>Providing a scope of people’s participation in group beneficiary projects also.

=>set aside a proportionate amount of fund for maintenance of completed projects.

=>Improve the condition of people by implementation of more useful project

(in Aroor panchayat only 30% of fund is utilized last year while remaining

70% lapsed ).
Conclusion:-
The study concludes that the local bodies are doing their best in functioning of the
panchayat however it is also necessary to bring into local expertise for the efficient
utilization of the fund and improvement of the living condition of the society.
