Adi Karmayogi Initiative
Context:
The Ministry of Tribal Affairs has launched the Adi Karmayogi initiative under the Dharti Aba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyaan, aiming to create a cadre of 20 lakh trained “change leaders” in tribal villages to ensure effective last-mile scheme delivery.
Objective
- To adopt a participatory, motivation-based approach for solving challenges in tribal areas.
- To strengthen delivery of welfare schemes by enhancing motivation of officials and community leaders, not just creating new schemes.
Prescribed Activities for Training
- “Lighting the candle” exercise: focus on solutions instead of problems.
- “Fish bowl” exercise: community bonding through participatory methods.
- “Village scenario role play”: problem-solving through collective imagination (e.g., water scarcity solutions).
Vision Document (Village Vision 2030)
- Each target village (? 1 lakh villages across 550+ districts) to prepare its own development vision, depicted as public murals.
- These act as aspirational blueprints for government planning.
Adi SevaKendras
- Plan to set up 1 lakh Adi SevaKendras as single-window service centres for welfare schemes to ensure 100% saturation coverage.
Strengths
- Behavioural Governance Approach: Focus on motivation, initiative, and participatory problem-solving rather than bureaucratic dependency.
- Community Ownership: “Village Vision 2030” encourages grassroots involvement and bottom-up planning.
- Capacity Building: Layered training model ensures wide outreach across administrative and community levels.
- Improved Last-Mile Delivery: Adi SevaKendras can address accessibility issues and reduce leakages.
Challenges
- Implementation Bottlenecks: Ensuring uniform quality of training across States and districts.
- Resource Constraints: Funding and administrative support required for large-scale training and Adi SevaKendras.
- Cultural Sensitivity: Training exercises must align with tribal customs and traditions to avoid alienation.
- Sustainability: Risk of initiative being reduced to a one-time campaign without long-term monitoring.
Way Forward
- Institutionalise Training: Integrate motivation-based modules into existing administrative training academies (like ATI/CTI).
- Strengthen Monitoring: Develop measurable indicators (e.g., % of scheme saturation, decline in grievance redressal delays).
- Community Leadership Development: Promote inclusion of tribal women and youth leaders as key change agents.
- Digital Integration: Use digital platforms for follow-up training and tracking village-level “Vision 2030” outcomes.
