1. Perceptions of Education among Tribes of South Gujarat: A study of Chaudhari, Dhodia, Gamit, Vasava and Halpati / Dubla communities

Researcher(s):
Sadan Jha & Dinesh R. Chaudhari
Funding Agency: Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi

The study attempts to understand aspirations, community perceptions and consumption practices pertaining to education among selected tribal communities of south Gujarat region. The broader conceptual apparatus for the project is to move away from the normative agency accrued to education as a key agent in the growth of the community. Instead, the focus is on how education as a social force within a community leads to social stratification. With this perspective, the study is focused on social aspirations and role of education in replicating/creating social hierarchies among tribal communities; meanings and stereotypes circulating about education among tribal communities; and the larger milieu of consumption culture and its relation to education. For this purpose, five communities—Chaudhari, Dhodia, Gamit, Vasava and Halpati/Dubla fromsix villages (Kalakva, Champawadi, Bilvan, Titoi, Dungri and Mordevi) of Surat and Tapi districts of south Gujarat region have beenstudied. A combination of survey and detailed ethnographic method for documentation and analysis was deployed in this study. Along with this, participant observation, in-depth case studies and informal way of gathering information helped us to understand nuanced social and cultural behaviour that shape social meanings of education. The study altogether covered 577 (289 boys and 288 girls) students belonging to 347 respondent’s families.

Among the selected communities, Dhodiya Patel and Chaudhari are clearly differentiated in terms of their involvement and investment in the education of their sons and daughters. The study found that most preferred job profession is that of a teacher. We find that the capacity to aspire for the future professional aspirations directly correspond to the educational status of student’s parents. On gendered dimension, our data suggest that for school fees related expenditure, parents spend more on their girl child than on their boys.

Our data clearly show that milk consumption is very low over all. Only 29 out of 347 households return milk as breakfast item for their students. Which is glaring in a region so central to dairy revolution. The data pertaining to games suggest a varied catalogue of games which children responded as playing and there is aclearpreference of games played in groups over those which are played mostly in pairs. Narratives of self-perception and the desire which places education quite centrally in the well-being of a society took us to the question of social change, consumption culture and their linkages with education, the relation between political consciousness and education. A wide range of activities and initiatives are observed and reported where we come across educated members of the community taking lead and helping students from their communities, organising educational programmes and trying to bring certain kind of political and cultural consciousness through education.
 
2. Skills Development Trainings and its Impact on Schedule Tribe Youths: A Study of Vaghaldhara Vocational Training Centre

Researcher(s):
Gagan Bihari Sahu and Vimal Trivedi
Funding Agency: Shri Vaghaldhara Vibhag Kelavani Mandal, Vaghaldhara, Dist: Valsad – 396375, Gujarat

Government of Gujarat had launched Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana (VKY) also known as Chief Minister’s 10-Points Programme with the basic objective to make the Scheduled Tribes youth employable by enhancing their skill. This program was implemented with the intention of providing specific employment oriented training to ST youths to be absorbed within the surrounding industries. As a part of this the Tribal Development Department (TDD), Govt. of Gujarat had encouraged to set up high quality Vocational Training Center (VTC) under Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. Under the above resolution, Vaghaldhara Vibhag Kelavani Mandal had set up a VTC at Vaghaldhara in August 2010 and since training activities has been running. At present 27 courses including both short and long terms are being offered to ST youths at Vaghaldhara Vocational Training Centre (VVTC) under the above programme free of cost. Within this context the present study has emerged to comprehend the impact of such training on tribal youths in terms of their employment and income.

The larger question that was addressed was whether this skill development training brings any changes in the livelihood of Scheduled Tribe youths. Both primary and secondary data have been used for analysis. Primary data was collected from 102 ‘passed out’ students spread across the 2010 to 2018 batches through interview method. Secondary data was collected from the reports and information available at VVTC. As the main objectives of this study was to assess the impact of vocational training on employment, income and livelihood, our focus was more on trainees and their views on the above aspects.

Some of the salient findings that emerge from the analysis are (1) Tribal students in general had a high opinion about VVTC’s academic environment including the adequacy of the course content, classroom atmosphere, availability of laboratory instruments and instructors; (2) The rate of successful completion of training among students was 79.2% and the dropout rate among trainees was 10.6%; (3) The rate of “passed out” and “dropout” among students were observed to be respectively declining and increasing by duration of the courses; (4) The “placement rate” was observed to be 88.8% and this reveals that nine among every 10 passed out students were getting jobs after successful completion of their training at VVTC; (5) Students form NCVT courses (long term courses) enjoyed relatively higher placement opportunities when compared to students from MES (short term) courses; (6) None of the sectors had experienced placement rate below 75% level. In no financial year, this rate was even observed less than 75% threshold level; (7) Most of these trainees work in private enterprises at Rs.6,000 to Rs.10,000 salaries per month and about half of them do not get any other benefits except their salary; (8) In spite of their poor earning, about 65% of respondents had contributed money to their homes; (9) Nearly 62% job holders are found to contribute between Rs. 2,501 to Rs. 5,000 to their homes every month; (10) Overall, a trainee from VVTC contributes 40% (Rs.3,566) of the monthly household earnings; (11) Although respondents have experienced disconnect in terms of the training received and the actual job undertaken besides lower salaries, about 70% of job holders have expressed satisfaction as the job offers them a sense of security in their current employment; (12) Overall, trainees appeared positive about the impact of vocational training on their skill development, employment, financial independence, quality of life and self-esteem.
 
3. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of Resettlement and Rehabiliation (R&R) of Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) Affected Families (PAF) of Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Maharashtra (MH) settled in Gujarat.

Researcher(s):
Akash Acharya and Arjun Patel
Funding Agency: Sardar Sarovar Punarvasvat Agency (SSPA), Government of Gujarat

CSS has been carrying out Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) studies of the Resettled and Rehabilitated (R&R) Project Affected Families (PAFs) since 1980. At the time of the beginning of the SSP, CSS had conducted a baseline study of 19 villages of Gujarat that went into reservoir submergence later on. During 1981 to 2014 (more than three decades), CSS studied thousands of PAFs and submitted a total of 58 reports to the Sardar Sarovar Punarvasvat Agency (SSPA). SSPA has resettled a total number of around 11,000 PAFs from Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra in 9 districts of Gujarat and has developed 236 resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) sites for PAFs. In continuation of this series of M&E studies, CSS has further studied 76 PAFs from Gujarat (GJ), Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Maharashtra (MH), settled in Gujarat. These 76 PAFs have been resettled in 14 blocks (taluka) of 5 districts (Narmada, Vadodara, Chota Udepur, Bharuch, Kheda and Tapi). The primary aim of the M&E studies is to closely review the progress of R&R in order to facilitate better implementation of the programme and ensure meeting of its desired objectives. A qualitative assessment of the R&R and identification of potential pitfalls in the implementation of the programme is an equally vital aspect of this exercise. Draft report is submitted to the SPPA, Vadodara and comments as well as suggestions are received and it was updated accordingly.
