Pre speech:
" Without enhancing democracy in local level sustainable
democracy can never be seen " For a balance and equal distribution of wealth facilities it
is a must. In recent time I accomplished a survey on my own union Perished
namely 5 no. rampur
In the survey I took interviews from loco representatives; from chairman
to UP member, from journalist to village police. With their helpful
participation and feedback it was possible to design such an informative survey

survey
report:
After
conducting this survey with questionnaire we got some interesting findings . This all
are as follow.
1. Lion
share of income comes from gov.
allowance
In field
level we interviewed with the chairman ,and secretary officio regarding their
income source of budget. they evened that only 7% of income comes from taxation.
The left is from gov.allowance. They also argued they have little income source
for their own. in brief the figure is as follow

2. Amount
of compensation is poorer comparative to percentage
Union Perished
invested most and main portion of its budget for the development programm. Even it crossed 70% though their is opposite
argument and claims from UP members. Such some say, the allocated resources is
not being equally distributed in each village concerned. Specially women representatives
got little share from UP.

3.To steer
local gov. by own income is most popular
Almost all
respondent argue to steer union in own income .They say that it gives liberty
and freedom of work
4.Lump
allotment (/lgs) should be given with absolute freedom:
Representatives
think for taking project under LGS union Perished should have to mobilize
money. Such a way sustainable development can be assured.
5. Lack of
human resource is the major hindrance in administration
Union Perished
says, though government gave this unit a lot of power in term of authority but
it does not possess sufficient personnel to implement its project. The major
hindrance can be figured out as follow.
i.
insufficient
personnel
ii.
financial
problem
iii.
Unwilling
of residents to pay tax.
iv.
lack
of liberty

rapidly it has necessity. Though they vary in terms of formation .

with job knowledge and experience.

10.Woman representative
from each ward is a matter of dispute.
With some exception
most of say it shouldn't be implemented. Because it has less necessity. Even in present time reserved woman members
got little chance to do something for his territory. In such a condition
extension in woman participation will be expensive an costly. Other say for the
settlement of woman related problem it should be rapidly implemented.

11. Urban
facilities don't continue.
Though most
of the urban facilities are still available in UP but it is not out of
inconvenience. Even for frequent load shedding in such a agriculture based
society electricity has been so-called. Conceived ratio of urban facilities show bellow.

Uncontinuing
services hamper daily life in this remote region. It disturbs manufacturing of
factory.
12. There
are some environment friendly plans:
The loco
members are to work together with local people for enhancing environmental
condition in a number of ways. These are...
Ø plantation beside road
Ø social tree plantation
Ø Nursery
Some suggests
to spread this plantation with the participation of residents.Because when there will have
people's share in task and profit.
13. Corruption
is a major problem:
In
development project, KABIKHA, work can't run well for corruption or rounding
all tables. Even locals are not willing to pay tax at all.
14. Monitoring
institutions ignored:
Most of the representatives
are not aware to monitor and observe local institutions, whatever it is
educational or medical. So to solve emerged problems immediately there exist
complexity. for instance a headmaster of primary school claims no member came
to observe their institutions.
Concluding remark:
Local
projects can not be implemented and done well even strengthened because of some
problems. The main cause is having no own controlled income source. It is felt
that without the financial liberty political liberty can never expected.
Another problem they faced is the scope and area of control, power, authority
is yet to be fixed. Even most of the representatives are not knowledgeable and
expert of rules and procedure. To overcome this problem following steps can be suggested.
o
separate
office for all UP members
o
Own
controlling income source.
o
Liberty
o
Enhancing
urban facilities
o
promoting
professionalism
o
Ensuring
accountability and transference
o
Supplying
close electricity.
