Lamahatta Gram Panchayat — works, water, assets, minutes

Requests ward-wise works and expenditure, Gram Sabha minutes, water/FHTC status for Sunaray (Simana) Gaon, asset register, abandoned and held-up works on eGramSwaraj, and whether any record endorses a social boycott — all as public records of the Gram Panchayat.

How to read these numbers

  • Rates beat raw counts. “39 people without literacy” becomes clearer as ~38% of the village.
  • Separate hard failures (0% taps) from unknown rates (PM-KISAN enrollment not in survey). Unknown is not success.
  • Migration is a pressure gauge: high outside work + elder homes = care and pension risk.
  • Income: we publish livelihood composition %, not fake average salaries. Remittance share of market labour is the clean proxy until a wage survey exists.
  • SC equity: community cohort size is known; certificate-level verification and scheme enrollment still need public lists from the Block/GP.
  • Panchayat scorecards should use public administrative data next (eGramSwaraj, JJM dashboard, MGNREGA MIS) — this page starts with what the village already measured.

Literacy rates

Aggregate only — no names, no household codes

Not marked “No”

62.1%

64 of 103

No formal literacy

37.9%

39 people

About 74% of those without formal literacy are age 40+ (29 people). That is where scheme forms and bank KYC get stolen or stuck — unless the panchayat helps in person.

Age structure

Share of population by age band

  • Children (0–15)2019%
  • Youth (16–35)4342%
  • Middle age (36–50)2928%
  • Elders (50+)88%
  • Age not recorded33%

Youth 16–35 is 41.7% of the village. Care pressure (children + elders ÷ ages 16–50) ≈ 0.39.

02 · Local government

What a Gram Panchayat is for

A Gram Panchayat is the nearest government. In plain words: it is supposed to turn national schemes into water, roads, work, schools support, and public lists you can check — not only meetings and photos.

Basic services

Drinking water, sanitation, local paths/roads, streetlights, and common land upkeep.

Scheme last-mile

Help people get on the correct list (job card, pension, housing, farmer support) and fix errors at the counter.

Gram Sabha voice

Open meetings where the village prioritises works, sees budgets, and can object when a work is marked complete but is not.

Records & proof

Keep beneficiary lists, wage sheets, and water-connection status public so 22 houses can audit without a middleman.

If taps are 0%, the road is unfinished, and scheme enrollment is invisible, that is not ‘village culture’ — it is delivery failure at the local state.

03 · Delivery scorecard

Where basic public goods are failing

Status for this ward with evidence. This is anti-corruption material: incomplete works, zero taps, invisible beneficiary lists.

Failing

Drinking water

Every home should get clean water at the door (Jal Jeevan Mission: Functional Household Tap Connection).

0% homes with working taps (0/22)

Evidence
Tank for the ward built ~1 year ago; source still not connected. Zero live FHTCs in survey ground record.
Who must answer
Gram Panchayat + PHED / Jal Jeevan implementing agency
Failing

Roads & paths

Pucca access roads and safe walking paths so children, elders, and goods can move year-round.

Main access still incomplete (~1 mile bad road)

Evidence
Site challenges record: main access road incomplete; multiple village walking paths unsafe. PMGSY-style pucca request is a live Gram Sabha item, not a finished road.
Who must answer
Gram Panchayat + PWD / PMGSY rural roads
Partial

Livelihoods & MGNREGA work

Register job cards, open local public works, pay wages on time so people are not forced to leave only for survival.

19.4% of people work outside the hills (20/103)

Evidence
Survey occupations show heavy out-station work (Bangalore, Sikkim, Bihar, Manipur). Local MGNREGA / public-work status is not yet published household-by-household on this platform.
Who must answer
Gram Panchayat (job cards, works) + Block office
Partial

Education support

Keep children in school and help adults who never got literacy access forms, pensions, and schemes.

31.1% in education · 37.9% marked no formal literacy

Evidence
32 students/children; 39 people Literacy=No (29 of them age 40+). Schools exist nearby; adult literacy + form help is the gap.
Who must answer
Panchayat + school SMC + ICDS / adult education partners
Partial

Elder & social care

Know who is old, alone, or bedridden; connect pensions, health, and neighbour support.

64% of homes have age 60+ signal (14/22)

Evidence
High out-migration + multi-home elder flags (widow / bedridden / alone). No public rota or pension-delivery dashboard yet.
Who must answer
Gram Panchayat + Samaj + health sub-centre
Failing

Connectivity (internet / mobile)

Stable signal so schemes, banks, school, and remittances work without climbing for bars.

Unstable signal (community-reported critical)

Evidence
Challenges page: internet/mobile marked critical. Why page: no grants yet for cell connectivity.
Who must answer
Panchayat (demand) + DoT / tower operators / state digital mission
Failing

Public information & Gram Sabha

Publish budgets, works, beneficiary lists, and meeting minutes so 22 houses can check the state.

No public works / fund board on this OS yet

Evidence
Village OS plan requires eGramSwaraj-style transparency; current site has census + story, not audited fund releases.
Who must answer
Gram Panchayat (mandatory disclosure) + Block
Unknown

Housing & land records (support role)

Help eligible families with PMAY-G, SVAMITVA, and residential proof — not only paper talk.

Enrollment rate not verified in 2026 survey sheet

Evidence
Person roll has no PMAY / land-title columns. Dashboard flags these schemes as ‘coming soon’ trackers.
Who must answer
Panchayat + BDO + revenue line

04 · Schemes

What should already be reaching this ward

Hard fail when we have a village rate. “Unknown” when government has not published a list — that opacity is the problem.

SchemeWho it is for hereStatusRate / signalWhy it matters

Jal Jeevan Mission (FHTC)

Tap water in every rural home.

All 22 householdsNot reaching0% functional taps (0/22)Hard failure with physical proof (tank without source). This is the cleanest KPI a panchayat can be scored on.

PMGSY / rural roads

All-weather road connectivity for habitations.

Whole ward / access corridorNot reaching~1 mile bad road still defining accessRoad is both economy and health: out-migration already high; bad road raises cost of staying.

MGNREGA

100 days local wage work for rural adults.

Working-age adults who want local wagesUnknown rate20 people already earning outside · local works list not publicAn analyst would demand: job-card coverage %, person-days this FY, wage delay days. Until published, treat local safety-net as opaque.

PM-KISAN

₹6,000/year income support to eligible farmer families.

Farming households with land records in orderUnknown rate18 people in local labour/farming occupations (proxy, not land title count)Survey has occupation, not landholding. Next data step: list farmer HH vs e-KYC / instalment status.

PMAY-G (rural housing)

Support for pucca house for eligible rural poor.

Houses without pucca dwelling / priority SECC listsUnknown rateNot in 2026 person sheetDo not invent a housing rate. Expert move: photograph stock + match AwaasSoft list at Gram Sabha.

NSAP / old-age & widow pension

Monthly pension for eligible elders and widows.

Elders in ~14 homes with 60+ signal; widows flagged in care listPartial64% homes touch elder care riskMigration leaves elders behind. Analyst scorecard: % of 60+ with active pension + bank passbook check this quarter.

ICDS / mid-day meal / school chain

Nutrition and school support for children.

20 children (0–15) in survey bandsPartial19.4% of population are children · 32 in education pipelineChild share is material. Failure mode is path safety + attendance on bad-road days, not only classroom supply.

Digital India / BharatNet / mobile coverage

Usable connectivity for services and remittances.

All residents + migrant families sending money homeNot reachingConnectivity listed as critical community challengeWith 1 in 5 people working outside, dead signal is a tax on remittances, scheme OTPs, and tele-medicine.

SC scholarships / hostels / skill (post-matric & state)

Education and skill support targeted to Scheduled Caste students.

Community cohort ~103 people / 22 homes (Samaj SC context)Unknown rateEnrollment % not in 2026 occupation sheetAnalyst move: publish how many students in the pipeline vs how many on scholarship lists — not slogans. Demand Block education cell list for this GP.

Stand-Up India / SC enterprise credit (eligible cohort)

Credit pathways for SC entrepreneurs where criteria fit.

Local entrepreneurs / return migrants with bankable plansUnknown rateNo public loan-sanction list for this GPHigh out-station chef/driver skills are human capital. Without local credit + road + water, talent exits. Opacity of credit delivery is the scorecard.

05 · What government must publish

Sunlight demands — end opacity

Corruption thrives in missing lists. These are the public documents this ward is owed. No villager names required — only official delivery data.

1

Publish Jal Jeevan FHTC list for this ward

Tank exists; 0% working taps. Name the contractor, source, and completion date.

2

Publish road / PMGSY status for the access mile

Incomplete road is a tax on every scheme, school day, and medical trip.

3

Publish MGNREGA job-card coverage and person-days this FY

Without local wages, out-migration is forced. Opacity hides whether work was created or only claimed.

4

Publish pension & widow beneficiary list (Gram Sabha board)

Elders stay when youth leave. Money must reach passbooks, not middlemen.

5

Publish PM-KISAN and PMAY-G beneficiary status for this GP

Eligibility without a public list is where corruption lives.

6

Upload Gram Sabha minutes and works photos with dates

Completed-on-paper, broken-on-ground is the classic leak. Photos + dates close it.

Until JJM, MGNREGA MIS, PM-KISAN, and AwaasSoft lists for this GP are public, every “unknown” rate is a red flag — not a pass.

People stay private. Delivery stays public.

Residents can manage household records after login. Everyone else — officers, media, partners — gets the scorecard: taps, roads, scheme opacity, literacy rates. That is how you cut the middleman: demand lists, photos, and rates, not gossip about families.
