Chittoor District Overview Chittoor district is one of the four southern districts of Andhra Pradesh, which together comprise the Rayalaseema region. The district lies in the rain shadow region and is consequently drought prone. Agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy. But, due to low and erratic rainfall, the income levels of the people remain low. An official survey conducted in 1998 has estimated that 47% of the population comes under the Below Poverty Line (BPL). The district has a population of 32.61 lakhs (as per 1991 census) of which 26.15 lakhs is the rural population. The district is spread over 1540 revenue villages comprising 10,791 habitations. There are a total of 6.85.753 households in the district. The literacy rate among the population is 49.75%. The focus of the District Poverty Initiatives Project is on the poor households, particularly the poorest of the poor. The project follows a process-based and demand-driven approach. To meet the objectives of empowering the poor, the project aims at social mobilization, capital formation, skill development and expansion of income generation opportunities. |

Selection of project Mandal A number of objective criteria were adapted to select the 10 project mandals in which the project activities would be implemented in the 1st year. On the basis of a prior understanding, the following parameters reflecting different dimensions of poverty were identified.
An inter-correlation coefficient matrix was generated for other parameters on the basis of data for 66 mandals. On the basis of inter-correlations, parameters d, i, j & k were deleted as redundant. The 66 mandals were ranked on the basis of the data on each of the remaining 8 parameters. The ranks obtained by each mandal in respect of the 8 parameters were added. The mandals were then arranged in an ascending order. The mandals with a higher rank indicate relatively higher levels of poverty or lower levels of socioeconomic development and vice versa. Thus, 35 mandals which have to be covered during the project period of 5 years have been identified as per the rank order. For the first Year of implementation, 10 mandals from different parts of the district which can be located within 4 defined clusters of the district namely, west, south west, central and east, have been identified.

Mahabubnagar District Overview Mahabubnagar district forms part of Telengana region, which is a land-locked region with hot summers, warm winters and sporadic rainfall. The distinctive feature of this region is an undulating topography dotted with monad rocks. The total geographical area of this
district is 18,432 sq.kms and accounts for 6.7% of the total area of the
state. It is the second largest district in the state and largest in
Telengana. The district has a population of 30,77,050 (as per 1991 census)
of which 27.35 lakhs (89%) is the rural population. Physiographically, the
district may be divided into two distinct regions - the plains and the hill
ranges. The two important rivers flowing in the district are the Krishna
(with its tributary Dindi) and Tungabhadra. With 25.22% literacy and 13.87% female literacy (The female ratio declining from 983 for 1000 males to 973 in 10 years from 1981 to 1991) and 50% of the population being non-workers, the district presents poor social development scene. 82% of the total workers still depend upon agriculture activity as against 70% in case of the state as whole. The female literacy rate among SCs and STs is as low as 4.37% and 2.51% respectively. All forms, both covert and overt of discriminatory practices exist; widespread superstitions; practice of Jogini system could still be seen in many parts of the district. |

Selection of project Mandal The district is allotted 35 mandals out of 180 mandals in 6 districts in the State. These include 5 mandals where UNDP-SAPAP programme was in operation from 1995-2000. The SERP sent a list of 49 mandals from which the other 30 mandals were selected on the basis of a single parameter - Absolute number of SC / ST population. This parameter has been adopted in view of the fact many surveys particularly the one conducted for A.P Rural Livelihoods Project, Mahabubnagar reveals that SCs and STs are the poorest in the district. Thus it can be easily said that those mandals that have more number of SCs / STs are the most backward mandals having largest number of poor people. A total of 35 mandals will be covered during the project period of 5 years. 17 mandals including 5 UNDP-SAPAP mandals were taken up in the first year covering all the 5 revenue divisions in the district.
