l)Xarnataka Mahila Abhivrudhi 7cjane:
The
scheme
for
intersectoral
allocation for women namely XMAY was
launched during -95-96.
It was a
land
mark Government Order as it was for the
first time that a conscious and positive
attempt was made by Government to address
gender
issues.
The strategy of
the
scheme
is to earmark one third . of
resources
for women
in
individual
beneficiary oriented schemes and labour
intensive schemes of various departments
of Govt.
Accordingly, funds of 23 departments
with total of 234 schemes were earmarked
for the year 1998-99.

the
process
of
empowerment of women
was
initiated
with
reservation
for women in
tho
Karnataka Panchayat Raj Act 1993, wherein
provision
of
minimum
one
third
reservation for women in Gram, Taluk and
Zilla Panchayats has been made. Out of a
total of 80,631 seats in 5,611 Gram
Panchayats, 35,334 seats are reserved for
women.
However,
given the
relatively
lower
educational
qualifications
of
women, as well as their lack of political
experience, their effective participation
in Panchayat Raj needs to be facilitated
through systematic training and communi
cation support. Hence, the department is
implementing a scheme to train elected
gram panchayat women members to instill a
woman's perspective on all development
issues.

with
skill
for
income generation,
education,
health care and also assets

for
income generation. The following schemes have been
taken up in these two districts.
(a) Self help groups:
The most important feature of the devadasi
rehabi1itation programme is its orientation viz.,
to create awareness among the devadasi women.
The
self help group concept has been adopted.
Devada
sis women are identified and formed into groups in
their own village, who meet once in a week or
fortnight to discuss their various problems. It is
a socially functional homogeneous group of women
with
similar concerns,
needs and
interests.
Membership is voluntary with non political motiva
tion,
making for parti cipatory nature of discus
sions,
decision making and action programmes.
Members of these groups also make savings at each
meeting and keep that amount in a bank account.
The
group members avail loans out of
these sav
ings.
( b )■
Social programmes :
Since the devadasi system is an age old prac
tice
and can not be eradicated only by providing
economic programmes, regular awareness campaigns,
organising groups and group meetings
,
street
plays
,'thematic songs, display of posters
,
TV
shows
,
exposure trips , non formal
education,
incentive allowance for school going children of
devadasi
women,
compulsory enrolment of their
wards at schools and health programmes are being
implemented.
As a result,
remarkable awareness
has been created on the evils of this system among
the devadasi
women and the public
in general.
Also they have been motivated regarding their
health and their children’s education.
(c) Income generating activities
up
Devadasi
women have been encouraged to take
income generating activities
like
poultry
farming,
dairy farming, petty business etc.
The
Corporation gives 60% subsidy for this activity on
loans secured
