Kaliappan: State finance commission allots 10% of its funds for our panchayath. Minimum contribution will be also given from Central commission as direct funding. State commission gives minimum of 7lakh rupees to every panchayath. More funding will be given according to the population, count of backward people and landscape of village. Maximum of 20 to 25 lakhs per year is given. Central Govt gives fund in the name of project funding. Like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, MGNREGA project, to implement such Central Govt schemes Central Govt gives direct funding. Other than this State Govt also fulfills some projects. For example Chief Minister Solar Powered Green House Scheme, Tamil Nadu Rural Roads Improvement Scheme. PM scheme and TN are both different. For all these we are getting separate funding. State and central Govt is giving funding for our and village development. Selecting the beneficiaries and making proper use of all the funding is the duty of each one of us. Narrator: Thank you sir.

Hello everyone. Going to upcoming gram sabha by knowing about 15th Finance Commission is very much important. It sad that during corona lockdown times TN govt didnt give 15th financial commissions and 5th state financial commission to village panchayaths. Maximum all the villages do the development works of their village and giving the salary of the staffs with this fund. 1st instalment of 15th commission of Rs. 901.75 crore has been given to TN on June 15th. Within 10 days of receiving this fund state Govt must release the fund to village panchayaths. If it has not been released the laws says to give proper interest amount. But shocking fact is till now panchayaths have not received this fund. Without fund panchayath representatives and struggling and going behind collectors and coming on roads to protest. So 15th Finance Commission fund and 5th Finance Commission fund should be given to village panchayath without any delay.
Narrator: Sir, please tell us whether this gram sabha is there so that public can give their suggestion and participation or this is conducted to implement the schemes of central and state Govt? Kaliappan: Central and state Govts have given the responsibility of implementing welfare schemes to village panchayath. For example THAI - Tamil Nadu Village Habitation Improvement Scheme, Chief Minister's Solar Powered Green House Scheme, Comprehensive School Infrastructure Development Scheme, Indira Gandhi Memorial Housing Scheme, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment i.e 100days work scheme, Rural Building Maintenance and. Renovation scheme, Self-sufficiency program, Rural Infrastructure Project, Integrated women's health program, Integrated Men's Health Care Program, Solid Waste Management Plan, Individual Toilet Projects, schemes recognized by central financial ministry, schemes recognized by state financial ministry, New life scheme, Tamil Nadu Women's Welfare Development scheme, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, NABARD Rural Infrastructure Development scheme, Rural Roads Maintenance scheme, National bio gas plant, to implement all such scheme central and state Govt's have given the responsibility and recognition to village panchayaths. Village panchayaths should do these works. Where to implement how to do this giving all such suggestions the duty of every villager. Selecting proper beneficiaries for such schemes is also gram sabha. So we citizens should take part in gram sabha and help in the development of our village. Gram sabha happens 4 times in a year. So it is said that treat it as you are going to temple. And take part in your villages gram sabha. Schemes give n by Govt to your village will be told in gram sabha. There they implement it. So taking part in gram sabha is everyone's responsibility. Narrator: Your interview makes me think of an elephant which is begging without knowing its power. People without knowing the power of gram sabha, they are being quiet by knowing just a bit about it. Thank you sir. Even tomorrow Nallurvattam Kaliappan's interview continues.
Narrator: Please tell us about what all village development scheme can we get through gram sabha. Kaliappan: Every village who has voting right is responsible for the development of the village. asic needs of villages like water facility, electricity, road, medical facility, street light maintenance, fixing street light, upgrading schools, setting play ground, cleaning lake planning all these is the objective of gram sabha. Our contribution should be there for our village development. So villagers must take part in gram sabha. Youngsters believe that vwith gram sabha they can make their village as self sufficient village and they can bring all the welfare schemes. And for that they are working too. Humble request to all villagers is, so many times we visit temples. Thinking as going to temple on special occasion, please go to gram sabha on these 4 days.

And you should be the main reason for the development of your village. This is my humble request. Narrator: Mr. Kaliappan will continue to be with to clear more doubts about gram sabha.

Client: Lawyer sir..... Lawyer sir.... VM: Who is that? What do you want? Client: Sir, a dog took half kg mutton from my shop and ate it. So the dog's owner should pay the money right? VM: Yes you are right. Client: Give me Rs.400 sir. VM: What?? I should give?? Client: Your dog only took the mutton. Please take the money sir. VM: Oh so this is the reason this dog didnt eve sniff when my wife gave him the food!! Without knowing this i thought my wife's cooking is really bad!! Client: Sir, give the money. VM: This person is taking my life for money. I dont think this person will go. How to manage now?? Client: What are you thinking sir? VM: Hmmm... ah... Give another 3/4 kg mutton at home. Client: Another 3/4 kg?? Why? VM: Now you asked me whether the dog's owner should pay if the dog takes the mutton For that I will take Rs.1000 as consulting fees. So Rs.400 for half kg mutton and give 3/4 kg mutton for remaining Rs.600. Ok?? What are you looking at? Client: This is fraud! So far i was thinking giving leave on October 2nd Gandhi jayanthi and asking people to attend gram sabha is injustice. But only now I am realising that a fraud person like you should have planned for it. VM: Hey wait man!! Why are you scolding all. Who takes care of income and expenses of your house? Client: Me. VM: Now if you have to build a house or admit you child in a good school, for such emergencies if you have to take loan who will decide it? Client: Thats also me only. VM: Wont you consult with anyone at home? Client: Sir, if I do all these without discussing at home, my wife will stone me. Ok Why re you asking all these?? VM: Just the way your family decided for the income and expenses of your house, even village is just the same. Village is also a family. Every villager is a member of this family. So just like your family, even for this family all members should sit, and discuss about the income and expenses and growth. Client: Yes. VM: Thats why gram sabha is conducted. This gram sabha meeting held on leave days because other days people shouldnt give false excuses like they didnt get leave and they will skip the gram sabha meeting. So gram sabha is conducted on 4 national holidays. Client: Oho. So far i ws not aware of this sir. VM: We should sit and plan what we want. Client: Yes yes. VM: Then you should attend the meeting or not? Client: Whole village should come and attend the gram sabha meeting. VM: correct!!
