1)      The amount required for settling the village is  hardly 30 million US dollars and 50 million US dollars for cities.

2)      The anticipation is done taking into account a village of 500 members of 105 families.

3)      There are hardly 5 families engrossed in the business while 100 families per village which are depending on farming and other income.

4)      Families which are engrossed in business require an average of 25000 US dollars (10 Lakhs) while the rest 100 families require 5000 US dollars (Rs 2,000) which totals to 25000 dollars + 5000 dollars= 30,000  US dollars.

5)      Such villages are approximately 1000 in number so the total expenditure for villages will be approx 1000x 30,000 US dollars= 30 millions US dollars(120 Crores)

5)  There are 4 cities badly affected by quake comprising of 80 families per city which require an average 12500 US dollars (Rupees 5 lakhs) per family for resettlement.

6)  There are hardly 15 families per city affected by quake and such cities are 5. Thus the total beneficiaries would be 75 to 80.

7)      Thus the total beneficiaries in Kutch will be 80x4= 320 plus 15x5=75. Totalling roughly 400 beneficiaries which require at an average rate of Rupees 5 lakh. So the total requirement of the cities would be 5 millions US dollars (20 Crores)

8)      Thus the total Resettlement expenditure for villages and cities will be 35 millions US dollars.

The scheme of Resettlement:

During the visit of NRI from USA we were told to formulate the scheme comprising of 35 million dollars and immediately the scheme VIII has come into play. The basic scheme aims at resettlement of business communities and mobilize the life in the Kutch area.

            The loan required in villages assumed to be approx 5000 dollars (2 lakhs) while in the cities loan required assumed to be 12500 dollars (5 Lakh) on an average to start the business.

            It is envisaged that there are numerous businesses at the footstep of Kutch such as Brick manufacturing, building construction material, etc. The Kutchi community is a business community can enter into any businesses with the reputation and this reputation can build up when they have capital in their hands which aims at Resettlement scheme.

            The soft loan which is proposed is refundable and given under the umbrella of NGO and Panchayat and it is having a holiday of interest for first five years, then the gradual interest starts from 4% to 13 % within the duration of 15 years. This loan will have no guarantee whatsoever but have certainly a moral binding. The cascading effect would be in manyfold multiple of 395 or more people.

The scheme will reset our brothers along with their families and families of thousands of people who have always preferred to live with reputation and will bring normalcy in the whole area.

            The execution of scheme will be on recommendation of NGO’s and will be put on notice board from time to time. The beneficiary will have to send a computerized account to the donor and the same will be concised and put on the notice board. The best performer may be inspired for awards or any other such benefits. The earlier soft loan payer would be honoured .
