According to another definition of poverty line the families having annual income of rupees 3500 to rupees 6000 are classified as families below poverty line. In , families with annual income below 11,000 were considered as below poverty line. The Ninth plan poverty line criteria are the families having annual income below 20,000 rupees. 74

Thus, it was observed that the high percentage of beneficiaries was in Hatkanangale (12.49%), Kagal (12.23%) tahsils and low percentage of beneficiaries was in Gaganbavada (1.16 %), Ajra (6.57%) and Radhanagari (6.98%) tahsils. The table no 4.3 shows IRDP beneficiaries tahsil wise distribution during the year Total female beneficiaries were However, maximum number of beneficiaries was seen in Kagal (498) and Shirol (408) tahsils. The SC / ST beneficiaries growth was noted in Shirol (317), and Karveer (346) tahsils and the low proportion 86

23 was found in Gaganbavada (57) and Radhanagari (142) tahsits. District total of the number of SC / ST beneficiaries in was However, in other beneficiaries low number was found in Bhudargad (0) Radhanagari (5) and Chandgad (20) and high number of beneficiaries was found in Karveer tahsil (439).The total number of beneficiaries in the year was Thus, the percentage of beneficiaries was higher in Karveer tahsil (14.60) and lower in Ajra tahsil (5.25). In the table no 4.4, despite IRDP beneficiaries tahsil wise distribution in the year , the total number of beneficiaries was 4228 in which maximum numbers of female beneficiaries was seen in Hatkanangale (527) and Karveer (513) tahsils.

Thus, the above three tables show that the number of female beneficiaries was higher than SC/ST beneficiaries. Indicating that was positive approach for women of the rural area. In the year

24 SC/ST beneficiaries number was increased and other beneficiaries proportion deceased because the government highly concentrated on the development of economy of the backward classes.

25 The table 4.5 shows tahsil-wise expenditure on IRDP in Kolhapur district during the years , and In the year expenditure was high in Hatkanangale (Rs lakh) and Kagal (Rs lakh) tahsils which was and 9.76 percent of the total. In the district the medium expenditure was noted mainly in Chandgad (Rs lakh) and Panhala (Rs lakh) tahsils. The lowest expenditure was incurred in Gaganbavada tahsil, which was only (Rs.1.80 lakh), that was only 0.67 percent of the total expenditure. It was observed that the total expenditure of the year was Rs lakh. In the year, maximum expenditure was seen in Karveer tahsil (Rs lakh) which was percent of district total. Whereas including infrastructural and administrative expenditure (Rs lakh), the district total expenditure was Rs lakh.

The high expenditure was found in Karveer tahsil (Rs lakh) which was percent of the total expenditure of the district, and lower expenditure in Gaganbavada tahsil (Rs lakh), which was only 2.46 percent of the total expenditure of the district. Thus, Gaganbavada tahsil was found lagging behind in the implementation of the Rural Development Programmes, because despite the tahsil was rich in natural resources, low population, lower literacy rate and political factors were responsible for the backwardness. All these factors are responsible to low expenditure of IRDP expenditure. The 89

26 higher expenditure was in Hatkanangale, Kagal, Karveer and Shirol tahsils being comparatively developed areas, positive approach of political leaders and higher literacy rates. All these factors are responsible for higher expenditure on IRDP in these tahsils resulting into successful implementation of the Programmes B TRAINING OF RURAL YOUTH FOR SELF-EMPLOYMENT (TRYSEM) The Government of India launched the scheme Training of Rural Youth for Self-Employment (TRYSEM) on August 15, TRYSEM is a facilitating component of the Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP).
