DPIP
is a programme of the MP government, run with a loan from the World
Bank, that provides funds to groups of poor people, especially women,
in around 3000 villages in 14 northern districts of the state. The
groups have to be organised under common interests and problems, and
funds are available for a wide range of activities aimed at increasing
income opportunities, by supplementing local infrastructure and
resources.
In Bundelkhand, the
programme is limited to 138 villages in two blocks of Damoh district
(Patera, Tendukheda), 124 villages of three blocks of Sagar (Kesli,
Deori, Jaisinagar), 267 villages of five blocks of Chhatarpur (Nowgaon,
