"Aajeevika Live" to assess impact on livelihoods profile of poor families

Bhopal:Thursday, June 18, 2009: The impact of livelihoods promotion activities and improvement in the livelihoods profile of the rural poor in about 3000 predominantly tribal villages would be measured and assessed by comprehensive Aajeevika Live software.

The Aajeevika Live would give update about the impact of nearly 100 activities relating to agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries, small enterprise, service provider, gender, social protection, micro finance, land and water management, minor forest produce-based employment, health etc.

Developed by the Madhya Pradesh Rural Livelihoods Project, the Aajeevika Live has made it easier to know the impact of individual, family and community level activities in remote tribal villages. The software has been equipped with details about each village and household and latest progress on the impact of benefits received by each family could be easily obtained. In addition, special reports regarding progress and impact under each activity could also be generated. The cluster level staff position has also been displayed.

The main server has been installed at Project headquarters Bhopal. Data has been procured at cluster level from where this travels to the district units of the project and through internet is stored in the main server. The field staff has been provided training in operation.  The unique feature of the Aajeevika Live is that it gives details about the proposals passed by the Gram Sabha for various economic activities. Fund utilization certificates approved by the Gram Sabha and certified by Sarpanch and Secretary have figure in the software. Besides, it also gives information about the trainings to representatives of Panchayat Raj Institutions, utilization of funds received under various schemes like NREGS, ATMA and BRGF etc. Financial progress by the districts can also be monitored. Latest update about individual and community assets has also been a useful feature. The number of families receiving more than one benefit can also be found out.
