Lack of coordination
The target group of the Government project is very limited. It must be expended throughout the
country.
The allocation of Government budget should be increased to make programmes effective and
extensive.
An effective monitoring process is the crucial requirement for the success of all the development
initiatives under Social Safety Net Programme.
Effective measure must be taken to check the losses in the intermediary level so that the poor can
take the best possible benefits from Government project.
Small and landless farmers have to be organized and be motivated in co-operative farming.
To reach the desired goal a co-ordination between the Government and NGOs activities is a very
much required.
Modern information and communication technology can be effectively used to increased rural
production and effective marketing process.
