a. Operationalizing the GP monitoring system in one district

• To explore the possibility of electronic sharing of GP wise data from the existing MIS of different programmes implemented within the GP and if not, then ways to capture the data at the GP level after extracting the data from the MIS/ collecting the data from the service providers.

• To work out what data are to be captured locally for programmes/own activities of the GP taken up under GPDP and critical social sector services being delivered by the GPs, to feed the GP database as envisaged in the monitoring framework.

• To develop a GP database hosted in the GP computer keeping the connectivity issues in view and develop a roadmap for data to be uploaded in a state-level server to facilitate regular GP, block and district wise analysis and feedback proper supervision and guidance.

• To develop software to be installed in the GP offices to capture and compile data, aggregation of the block and district-wise data for appropriate analysis, ranking of GPs and guiding facilitation/interventions.

• To identify the capacity needs at all levels of governance in the use of the monitoring system and build the capacity of the GP level functionaries for effective monitoring.

b. Scoping study of databases (health, education and WCD) for assessing the feasibility of developing an integrated database for better social protection

• To take a stock of all the data which are collected in respect of Education, Health and Women and Child development through various programme MIS existing at the state level. To further delineate an optimal set of fields which could be useful for knowing the progress and coverage of schemes and programmes on the said fields for the GP and even individual level. Field analysis of databases linking to PRI level will be done in Kolhapur district.

• To identify the data structure and how the relevant data can be shared to populate an integrated data structure which will cover all the relevant dimensions of development in one platform for the state and down to panchayats.

• To understand the required data structure of the proposed unified database, which can be used for the analysis of status covering all the important aspects of development covering the fields mentioned before.

c. Rapid Assessment Survey in Maharashtra on Impact of Covid-19 on Households and Role of Gram Panchayats with reference to Access to Essential Services

• To assess the level of awareness of the relief measures that government has taken for tacking covid 19 pandemic
