Suggestions • Rural infrastructure like village roads, drinking water, and sanitation needs to be developed and strengthened.

•

Health sub-centers may be provided with proper building and staff at Gram Panchayat level.

•

The occurrence of school dropouts has been quite high as we move from matriculation to senior secondary and above.

•

In order to raise the socio-economic status, increase employment opportunities and generate self confidence, the top priority is to be given for their education.

The education will help in providing their participation in economic activities and add to their productivity.

•

The overall literacy rate of women is low as compared to men folk. Girls often have to drop out of school to assist their mothers. This reinforces gender roles and denies girls access to education. Keeping in view the active role played by women in maintaining and improving the wellbeing of their families and the whole society, special schemes should be introduced to get her more educated.

Increasing literacy rates are preconditions for and expressions of a fundamental cultural change that brings empowerment and new responsibilities.

•

Social participation should be encouraged. There is a need to educate the people about the importance of co-operatives and self help groups. In study area the social participation in co-operatives and self help groups is nil. There is dire need Comprehensive CAT Plan of Satluj River Basin

Volume: III Part I Section:2 Chapter:3 Page No:

to educate the people about co-operatives and self help groups and their functioning. Further, they may be motivated to establish these rural institutions.

While using the People Rural Appraisal (PRA), it is noted that most of the people were not having knowledge about development activities. Thus, their participation in such institutions may be encouraged to improve their knowledge about developmental activities.

•

Majority of people in study area are marketing their produce to private parties but there was resentment among them that private parties are not purchasing their produce at proper rates. Government should do efforts in this respect.

•

In order to make the people economically better off, there is need to introduce new income generating activities as suggested by them. Proper training should be imparted to them to start new activities. Existing income generating activities should be strengthened by making them more trained. Women folk should be trained to improve their economic status. Improved economic status will lead to increase in empowerment of women and also enable them to participate increasingly in decision making in the family and society, which at present is more or less the exclusive domain of the men folk.

•

There exists a gap in fodder requirement and which is mostly met with from forests. To meet this gap new species of fodder trees and grasses and their improved management practices (Agronomic practices and fertilization application) should be popularized.

•

To cover the gap in fuel majority of people are dependent on forests for fuel wood. To release the pressure of forests alternative sources like solar energy, bio-gas should be encouraged. An investment in this direction can be cheaper and more eco-friendly source of electrification.

•

Pressure cookers should be provided to them on subsidized rates.

•

Training should be imparted to women to save energy. Wood saving devices like improved chullas should be introduced.

•

To improve the livestock output, farmers should be provided with free or highly livestock subsidized livestock services, especially when it comes to animal health.
