THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR YOUTH AFFAIRS AND SPORTS
(SHRI TH. CHAOBA SINGH)
(a) & (b) Yes, Sir. The Annual Action Plan Review of the
activities of the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan is done by
the Government on a quarterly basis. In addition, the NYKS
Headquarters also monitors the performance of its District
Kendras through monthly, quarterly and yearly reports,
besides mandated inspection tours undertaken by officers
from the Headquarters, the Zonal Directors and the Regional
Co-ordinators. Remedial action is taken as and when
deficiencies are noticed through these reviews / inspection
tours.
These reviews and assessments have shown that
schemes have helped in mobilizing and channnelizing the
energy of rural youth for constructive activities. Youth
have become aware of local issues and have shown willingness
to come forward for the redressal of local issues
voluntarily.
These Schemes have also contributed towards building
of Youth Club movement in the country and have provided
opportunities to rural youth to assume leadership and take
up community development activities through co-ordination
and participation. Deficiencies that have been felt, relate
mainly to inadequate provision of programme funds to a
Kendra, and the lack of supervision over the implementation
of programmes / schemes in those districts which do not have
a youth co-ordinator and are being looked after as
additional charge. Subject to budgetary outlays, efforts are
being made to plug these gaps.
(c ) & (d) Yes, Sir. The action plan for the implementation
of the schemes through NYKS during the last three years (
1997-98,1998-99, 1999-2000) in the State of Andhra Pradesh
is at Annexure I.
(e) & (f) No, Sir. The schemes are being run successfully
under the present structure.
