Promoting Human Rights of marginalized groups through legal and constitutional options: Various rights

and provisions have been enacted for protection, welfare and development of themarginalized groups

to create a congenial enviorment, enabling realization of their potential and protection from all frorms

of discriminations. But in reality atrocities against scheduled castes and women remain in the society in

various forms and shape which are not only violation against human rights but also a crime against

humanity. With the objective to understand the status of human rights & create awareness on the

provisions of human rights in the state various initiaves were undertaken by the organization

Seminar on“Status of Dalit Human Rights - Relevance and Challenges”: On the eve of International Human Rights Day, Dalit VikasAbhiyanSamitiin collaboration with National

Dalit Centre of Human Rights

,Bihar orgnaised a seminar

on the issue of“Status of

Dalit Human Rights :

Relevance and Challenges” at

the Karpuri Community Hall,

Mahua. The workshop was

chaired by the ShriAwadesh

Prasad Incharge – Director,

National Schedule Cast

Commission, Govt. of India;

ShriRajender Prasad,

member, Mahadalit

Commission; Shri Vikas

Kumar Pankaj, Advocate and

Shri Dharmender Kumar ,

Director DVAS. The

workshop was an attempt to examine the status of different human rights and their accessibility to the

common masses particularly, the Dalits and the Mahadalits. Key observations of the seminar were:

Fundamental Rights of Education and good health are still unreachable for these under privileged class.

Individual cases pertaining to Dalit atrocities wherein the victims were treated inhumanly by the

police authorities came into picture wherein the police has not arrested the accused persons

yet.The need of the hour to organize such workshop for police and people belonging to

administration.

Capcity building of village Cadre on POA and Human Rights: Workshops have been organized at village and panchayat level to orient the dalit leaders on provisions

of human rights enabling them to work as human right defender in the intervention area. Orientations

have been provided on the process of collection of information in case of atrocities, fact finding

techinques and to forward it to the concerned officials. These defenders also report about the incidents

happening in their respective areas for follow up and areworking in close collaboration and coordination

with district and state level agencies, police and administration for justice to the victims.


Follow up trainings on awareness on POA was provided to understand the level of orientation

of the village based cadre and to equip them with enhanced capacities to handle the incidences of

atrocities on SC/ST communities with greater efficiency. The dalit cadre wer also provided resource

inputs ob provisions of domestic violence Act and its provisions to safeguard the rights of women

communities who are marginalized even among the most marginalized groups.

Training events were organized on SC/ST preention of Atrocities Act to build the capacities of the village

cadre to deal in incidences related to atrocities of SC in five phases covering more than 1000 participants

from women and men.

Speaking on the occasion

Mr.Ravindra Kumar, legal

expert said it is very

difficult to explain on

individual Article drawn

for Right and

responsibilities explained

in the Articles.You

people are only to see

whether their Rights and

responsibilities as human

being, are not tempered

by any individual or by

the state anywhere any

time. Understanding by

the gainers of Right is

sufficiently explained or not. There are twenty different Articles for the safety of Prevention of Atrocities

Act. The trainings elaborately covered the various section and provision of compensation and

punishment for different offences. The training also discussed cases where violating the provision

against the provisions of the act. The cadrewere oriented on ways and means to seek information under

RTI Act from the concerned authorities how such deceisions were taken to create pressure on

administration for strict implementation of the Act.

Training on sexual Harassment: Sexual Harassment takes place at their workplaces very often. Women workers are often put to

harassments by such persons due to forceful approaches by another side by means of (i) Physical

contacts and advances (ii) Demand or request for sexual favors. (iii) Pornography or by showing other

Magazines & Books on sex. (iv) Or using other physical non-Verbal conduct of sexual nature.

Discussingabout safety measures the women were informed on disciplinary action that could be taken

by the management. The Office can take disciplinary action for such misconduct.There should be a

complaint machinery, which should work on redressing the complaint put up by the victim ,A panel of a

committee can be set up for judgment on hearing such vulgar incidents by any side of gender. Workers’

initiatives also are welcome to amicable settlement of the sexual harassment episode.

under the courtesy of Dalit Foundation, New Delhi.Dalit Human Right Activist and Executive Director

of Mr. Dharmendra Kumar speaking on the occasion informed the participants that even after 48

years of

enforcement

ofBhooHadban

di Act was

enforced, still

49 percent

Landless

families are

homeless and

living in JHOPRI

(made up of

straws/cow

dung and soil)

and bound to

live in one such

hut. He then

emphasized on

that on 16th

June 2006, the

Government of Bihar set up a Land Reform Commission under the Chairmanship of Mr. D.

Bandopadhay and when the Commission specially recommended 10 decimal ofHomesteadland to

landless and agriLabours should be given 1Acre 66dml. Land. All Bataidar, who have got Land

Parchas as ownership through the recorded documents of land should be recorded in the computer

and thus BhooHadbandi should restricted at 15 Acres. The land received from Bhudan should be

distributed .The Government instead of implementing the recommendation of the Commission,

decide to give 4decimal and then reduced to 3 decimal or support of thirty thousand and has

deceived the Dalits community.

Awareness Programme on the land Rights:

Orientation was provided to the participants on the recommendation and report of comminsion on

land reforms. Speaking on this occasion Mr.Dharmendra Kumar, Director DVAS said that presently

even the funds provided by central government for providing three decimal of homestad land is not

being appropriatel utilized by the state Government. Other recommendations of commission on

land reforms as providing proprietory rights to share croppers to enhance their livlelihood security

has alos been left out by the government. On the other hand state government has announced to

provide thre decimal of homestead land to the mahadalit families and financial support of rupees


twenty thousand for house construction, buth these annoumented have not been taken up with

seriousness. Decision was undertaken by that a padyatrawil be taken up to sensitize the larger

community on land rights and to resolve issues related with land during the activity. The padyatra

will also raise issues foracces to physical procession of land by the beneficiaries from

dalitcommunites who have been given parchas by state government.

Leadership Capacity Building Programs:

Leadership development program was implemented to providestrategic inputs to young dalitmen and

women to build their capacity with regard to the challenges they face both at individual and

institutional level. It is envisaged that inputs on the ways of addressing and dealing with these

challenges will capacitate them to initiate field level action, in an attempt to prompt social

development. Resource inputs were provided on specific issues as

SC/ST prevention ofAtrocities ACT 1989. , Land Rights, Leadership styles and their importance. Social security Schemes, MNREGS and Domestic violence Act. IT has been envuisaged that these

trained cadre in turn would act as

resource persons in their respective

working areas and would take on the

the task of peer education and

sensitization of the larger community in

collaboration with Ambedkar gram samiti formed by the organization in 32 panchayats of vaishali

and Nawada district of Bihar. Refersher training was also provided to consolidate the learnings of

the earlier trainings and to address any problems/ issues encountered during the course of work.

1200 dalit youths were trained as an outcome of the activity.

Awareness on Domestic violence Act :

The basic human rights and the fundamental rights, assured by the Indian Constitution for women is

distant mirage. The state of dalit women is

even worse being subjugated to violence of

various kinds: physical and psychological

torture arising out of sexual assaults and

atrocities, caste discrimination,

untouchability, economic deprivation and

exploitation, since ages all over the country

and Bihar is no exception to it. They have

been denied of their right to survival,

protection and participation. The

inadequacies of a gender sensitive response from institutions and systems of governance combined

with resistance from a patriarchal social mindset have worsened their vulnerabilities and


deprivationsand at times results in domestic violence against them. Awareness program on

domestic Violence act was organized to sensitize the dalit women and larger community on

protection rights of women in cases of domestic violence .participantion from 225 Ambedkar Gram

Samiti was observed in the campaign. 19 cases of domestic violence were amicably resolved during

the campaign.

Adlosment Health Education Camps Programme: Health is a burning issue among the dalit community in Bihar because of several reasons. As the dalit

community usually lives in

separate tolas which are

located in the outskirts of the

village the health personnel

do not make regular visit nor

the community has access to

PHC’s or sub centres.

Secondly there is a a lot of

stigmas and practices among

the dalit community which

obstructs women and

adolescents to discuss their

RH issues and problems and

therefore health needs are

not addressed properly. The

organisation has been

working to sensitize dalit community, women and influential leaders on issues related with maternal

and reproductive healths check up was provided to the cases requiring immediate action during the

camps organized by DVAS. Some emergency medicines were distributed and the acute cases were

reefered for follow up.

Aids Control Awareness Programme: AIDS Awareness Camps :Awareness

Camp was organized to orient youths on

the issues of HIV/AIDS for development

of Conceptual clarity and creation of

positive attitude among the community

to realize HIV/AIDS as an health hazard

adversely affecting the indicators of

human development (income, poverty and earning capabilities) and a backdrop against individual

liberties and rights. The youths were motivated to mobilize support of their communities for an

enlarged community initiative for prevention and alleviation of the AIDS problem.

AIDS Control Diwas Day--Awareness Programpeoples’ Campaign was organized in PatepurVaishali wherein prominent Doctors and Specialists have registered their presence. The program was organized by Dalit VikasAbhiyanSamiti in collaboration with National dalit Centre For Human Rights, Bihar. The village people also were present for their check up.


Promoting Inclusive Education: The literacy rate among the SCs of Bihar was dismally low at a mere 28.5 percent during the 2001

Census, which is nearly half of that recorded for all SCs at the national level (54.7%). The male and

female literacy rates are 40.2 percent and 15.6 percent respectively against the corresponding

national figures of 66.6 percent and 41.9 percent. Among the literates, 39.7 percent of the SCs are

either without any educational level or have attained education below primary level. The proportion

of literates who are educated up to the primary or middle level constitute 28.4 percent and 13.1

percent respectively. Bihar is considered one of the most backward states in the country. It stands at

the lowest rung in respect of almost all the indicators of human development, includingthose

related to education. At the time of Independence the literacy rate in Bihar was 16.7 percent as

against the national average of 18.2 percent. DVAS in collaboration with PRIA and east & west

educational society was associated in the study titled ‘Educational exclusion of dalits in Bihar. DVAS

was instrucmental in conducting baseline survey and organised a FGD to understand the reasons tof

educational exclusion of

dalits. The FGD

highlighted several

important issues

adversely affecting the

education of dalit

children.

These are listed below.

Irregular attendance of

teachers.

Irregular supplies of

provisions: mid day

meal, books, stipend,

TLM etc.

Abusive language: sometimes calling SC children by their caste.

Teachers do not take the dalit children’s education seriously.

Lack of separate toilets for girls.

Inadequate number of teachers.

Lack of specialist teachers (Mathematics, Science, and English) as a result the children cannot cope

in the higher classes. As dalit children come from marginalised families they cannot avail of private tuitions.

Lack of coordination between teachers and Parent Teacher Associations (PTA).

Panchayat representatives do not monitor the educational process as was envisaged.

Lack of residential schools in comparison to the number of students.

Teachersare engaged in surveys, elections and other work which affects the education of dalit children.

In some places the PTA is formed in contravention of the prescribed norms. ( The children of

presidents of the PTA do not study in the schools yet they have been made presidents)

Lack of dalit teachers.


Suggestions for improvement

Dalits to be made presidentsof PTAs on the basis of reservation norms.

Effective monitoring by senior officers on the school’s performance and delivery of facilities,

with a special focus on weaker sections.

Ensuring timely supply of provisions.

Opening of residential schools in adequate numbers at all levels.

Campaign for enrollment of chidren of marginalized groups:An enrollment drive was undertaken by

the organization to include out of school/drop out children in formal schooling system in the

intervention area. Meetings with dalit parents were organized to inform them on the provision of

right to education Act and provisions for dalit children provided in the state. The parents were also

sensitized on the importance of education on socio- economic transformation of the children and

family as well. Discussion was facilited among the participants o the status of education particularly

in the villages and fornms of discriminations. 345 children were enrolled as an outcome of the

activity.

Dalit Child development Program: The organization firmly beilieves that hchildrenarethe future of any community and the nation as

well. So adequate investement and care must be exercised to development of potential of children,

especially of the marginalized groups who are out of the main sretram development process.

Various activities was

undertaken to promote

development of children

within the reporting period

which can be summed up as

follows:

Painting Competition:

Painting competition was

organized in collaboration with

NDCHR in patna on the issues

of envioement to promote a

iunderstanding on the

enviormnetal issues and

concern among the dalit children. 35 children from different panchayats participated in the

competiton.

Child Friendly Villages: is an innovative concept where our little champions applies Peer

pressure to emancipate the Child labour and for the reporting period, this initiative could declare 35

villages in Fatuha block as CHILD FRIENDLY VILLAGE TO FRIENDLY COMMUNITY WITH SOCIETY….


BAAL MITRA MAHAPANCHAYAT: Dalit VikasAbhiyanSamiti and National Dalit Centre for

Human Rights, Patna have organized the Program of BAAL MITRA MAHAPANCHAYAT at Gram

PanchayatBardiha in Patepur Circle in Vaishali district for the election of BAAL MUKHIYA SARPANCH

was held in the presence of Gram PanchayatMukhiya Sri PremvhadPandit.

Sri Pandit garlanded the newly elected BAAL MUKHIYA SARPANCH and the member children and

taken part in the meeting of BAAL MITRA MAHAPANCHAYAT.The Director of Dalit

VikasAbhiyanSamiti addressed and said that his vision is since the beginning if the children are

taught about their strategy which is their right since birth. If they are educated in the course of

coordination Committee, Panchayat-Block and PanchayatSamiti, DistParishad as how they are

functioning, the children shall be mentally strengthened and become strong enough to warn their

guardians.

BAAL MITRA MAHAPANCHAYAT is being formulated for the purpose of discussing things openly

about their problems. They can put up matters with their guardians openly so that they can discuss

things with PanchayatPradhan and justify things. Like Government strategies of Election Rules, the

Electioneering Officer, The officer, The center Officer, in the Panchayat Election was they adopt the

same Strategy, The children go for vote Campaign to children door to door for Mukhiya Election.

They become much excited in this work. When the Election is completed, the winning part sit for

discussing about Child Labour Sucking of their labor, Sexual Harassment, and a check hold on Liquor

drinks. BAAL SHRAM free village is being built by them and for this purpose all the children are to be

educated, and this is their main vision from this program.

BALMITRA MAHA PANCHAYAT is an innovative program through which we could initiate a process

of educating Children about Panchayat Raj system and democratic Governance. For the reporting

year under review, we could conduct mock elections to around 50 BalmitraMahaPanchayats in a

democratic process and elected Mukhya and other Members of the Panchayat from the children.

They have been trained on various aspects of Democratic Governance, role of Panchayat raj and it’s

significance in upholding the rights of the citizens. Our BalMitraMahaPanchayats are playing

significant role in community coordination and acting as barriers for bringing the perpetrators of the

violence and transgressors of human rights into books.

Motives and evaluation: Children feel energetic from the Election Program

Children’s Propaganda is similar to the Main Election Program.

BalAdhikarSankarshan Program:

Following the Constitutional Amendment makingeducation free and compulsory, our

initiativesunder the child rights programme were againstchildlabour, child marriage, etc. along with

acampaign for the Right to Education Act. Our BalAdhikarSanrakshanDharna’s yielded good results

in educating the unlettered communities about the need for educating their children especially girl

children, prevention of child labour, child abuse, child trafficking etc. This movement has culminated

into liberating 250 children from the clutches of harsh labour and enrollment of 600 children into

mainstream schooling.


MNREGA and Land Rights Awareness Training Program:

A meeting was organized in ManjhiTola Community Hall at Wazitpur in Vaishali District. The Agenda

of the discussion was Mg. NREGA. BhaiNarendra asked whether they have been getting ready

response from the Gram Sevak or whether they are getting work in time. What are the obstructions

in getting work through this channel of Unit Help Line?

A Respondent Sri Shiv Manjhi stated that the Gram Sevak never co-operate in getting work in this

category. After getting applications from the villagers, in the beginning, he keeps up that

information within him. For many days and ask bribe for Registering her/his name. Or if anytime the

Job Cards are made available to the labor, work is left on queue. After getting a work, they are not

paid the timely

payment of the

work done.

Then comes the

problem of

opening a Bank or

P.O Pass book. for

the labor money

to be transferred

into his account

Anyway altogether

this takes a long

time against the

process.

Training on Right to Information: Dalit Vikas Abhiyan Samiti with support from Dalit Foundation, organized two days’ Cadres Training

was a very important tool for ensuring the independence assured to us under the constitution of

Indian. Right to Information not only establishes a good governance structure but also acts as a

palladium for the other fundamental rights.The provisions of Right to Infiromation Act, 2005 were

discussed in detail. The major focus while discussing the provisions was given to the process of filing

applications under right to information act. The process of filing application was discussed in detail.

The participants raised a few queries on the provisions of the act that was consequently cleared
