2.2 Preparatory phase- Detailed Project Report

SVEP process requires the preparation of a Detailed Project Report for each block. It is an important document for different reasons.

  1. It helps in developing a comprehensive plan for the project implementation in a block.
  2. It provides estimates of the potential enterprises in various sectors in the block. Hence, it includes clear targets in numerical terms based on an assessment of enterprise potential in the block.
  3. It also provides an estimate of fund required to achieve the set targets and fulfil the implementation plan in a block.  
Identifying Targets

Targets are determined on the basis of the addressable gap between demand and supply in any sector. This gap indicates the target number of enterprises that can be promoted in a sector in a block. Addressable gap is arrived at by excluding, from the Net gap, the assumed enterprise potential. Here, the Net gap is simply a gap between demand and supply in any sector. Enterprise potential primarily indicates the number of enterprises that can be promoted in a block under SVEP. However, to arrive at the addressable gap, it is assumed that a certain percentage of existing enterprises in a sector will grow into bigger enterprises. These enterprises are excluded from the Net gap to identify the final target. In SVEP, targets are determined quickly using the NRLM SVEP Software.
