Abstract: Since beginning of the 12thFiveyear Plan, Convergence of resources was considered to be the key and a new dimension in policy and planning. This has resulted in bringing the concept of 'convergence planning' as a factor in designing of policies, guidelines and schemes in orderto achieve maximum and sustainable benefits (outcomes) to community and the poor from various development programmes.In order to maximize the benefits through effective planning and implementation of all such Government Programmes, the planners and implementers need to be oriented and supplied with resource material on each of the schemes and its development objectives. This will help in developing an effective district plan and state plan with appropriate convergence of resources. Keeping in view the need for a comprehensive document for the planners, implementers and beneficiaries, the SCSTRTI has taken the initiative to compile all the relevant Government Schemes that are applicable to various beneficiaries including Individuals, Households, Institutions, Community and different areas. The document has compiled a total of 388 government schemes of which 359 number of schemes are Central Schemes and 29 are State sponsored Schemes. A close observation of the various flagship programmes, schemes of the Government depicts that the approach towards development is four fold i.e Individual centric, Household centric, Institution centric and area development. There are 359 Central Government Schemes being implemented by different Ministries of the Central Government and 29 State Government (Odisha) Sponsored Schemes functioning during the period of the study. 276 schemes are individual oriented, 79 schemes are household oriented, 147 schemes are institution specific and 30 schemes are intended for development of specific areas.The schemes documented in the report can be converged for better outcome through adequate technical and financial resource support. Various Ministries have issued Convergence guideline out of which the Convergence guideline of MGNREGA with NRLM, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Women and Child Development and Construction of Non-PMGSY roads under MGNREGA are useful which may be referred for ensuring the creation of durable assets and livelihood security. The compiled document will work as a referral document for planners and implementers at the time of micro and macro-level planning.
