Information is needed to identify the strategies forgenerating productive employment opportunity,augmenting production, increasing capability andg g p , g p yreducing vulnerabilities of the people in a given society.On the other hand for ensuring support services to thetargeted population efficiently and knowing the impacttargeted population efficiently and knowing the impactof poverty alleviation programme and policiesinformation are prerequisites.

Conclusion
Poverty monitoring by involving local people andlocal government at the grassroots level is achallenging task. There might be academic debateg g gwith the capacity of local people and reliability ofinformation generated through local people. But, theexperiences show that for programming purpose theexperiences show that for programming purpose theinitiative is very much well accepted.
The main learning from the research project is thatthe local government unit at the grassroots level l cand th t k f t it i ith th h l fdo the task of poverty monitoring with the help oflocal people and field functionaries of developmentorganizations if they are provided support. Theg y p ppquality of information generated would be improvedfurther by practicing the process.
