The present Government has placed poverty reduction at the forefront of its development strategy. The poverty reduction strategy frame work of ‘Steps Towards Change : National Strategy for Accelerated Poverty Reduction II (Revised), FY. 2009-11 is based on the reality of multi dimensionality of poverty and takes into account the dynamics of the socio-economic factors that reinforce and perpetuate poverty in the country. The strategy frame work consists of five strategy blocks. The strategic bocks are: (i) Macroeconomic environment for pro-poor growth; (ii) critical areas for pro-poor growth; (iii) essential infrastructure for pro-poor growth; (iv) social protection for the vulnerable and (v) human development. Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) plays a vital role for the development of rural road communication network. As per the Policy matrix-10 of NSAPR II (Revised), the major responsibilities of LGED is: (i) developing rural road communication through ensuring transportation of agricultural products and also ensuring participation, involvement of community, Local Government Institution, NGO’s and beneficiaries group; (ii) prioritizing pro-growth infrastructure (submersible road. ghats, growth center, rural hat, women markets section and union parishad complex, cyclone shelter); (iii) ensuring women’s participation and emphasizing their needs.
