Annual Report 2019-20 - Bikash

Annual Report 2019-20 2

PREFACE

e have completed 24th years of service for the Children with Disabilities of Bankura District.

Bikash has undertaken the robust task of addressing childhood disabilities and providing services

to the children suffering from Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual Disability, Autism, Multiple

Disabilities and Hearing Impairments.

Special Education, Early Intervention, Therapeutic Management, Functional Literacy, Counseling, Pre-Vocational Skill and Vocational Skill Training, etc are being provided to these children through our

Special School and CBR Programme. Many of our students have in recent past, put in neck to neck fight

with their normal peers in studies, sports, extra-curricular activities, etc to prove the notion “Children with disability are incapable and non productive”, as misconcept possessed by many people in the society.

After a long 24 years of functioning, we can gladly say that our journey has been an enlightening and

enriching one coupled with amazing lessons, inspite of all turmoils we have faced. We continue to

emphasize and work on advocacy, vocational skill training and economic rehabilitation of the Persons with Disabilities. Keeping in view, the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, we have conducted Skill

Development training of Persons with Disabilities in collaboration with National Institute for Locomotor

Disabilities (NILD), Kolkata; National Institute for Hearing Handicapped (NIHH), and National Institute for Empowerment of Persons with Multiple Disability (NIEPMD), Chennai. Meanwhile, we have started to

form Self-Help Groups of Persons with Disabilities. Buyer seller meet has also been arranged to showcase

their talent and products. In 2019, we have started Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) Programme for Children with Disabilities with the support from The Hans Foundation.

Early Childhood Care and Education has been another top priority area of our intervention as we believe

that the first five years of child’s life is most crucial to his /her all round development. Subsequently early

detection, correct diagnosis, early intervention and appropriate referrals have been practiced with all sincerity and efforts. We, also, have started some other intervention in the associated field like Girl Child

Education, Rural Sanitation, Rogi Sahayak Kendra, Reducing Child Mortality during the last year. While

the success rate of our achievement is quite high and recognizable, there still remains a glaring need in the community to continue or initiate more of such similar interventions in the near future.

Our organization is recognized by the Govt. of West Bengal (Commissioner for Disabilities) as well as The

National Trust, Govt. of India and Mass Education Deptt. Govt. of West Bengal. We, also, are very

proudly announce that our organization has been selected for the State Award – 2019 for Creation of barrier free environment for the Persons with Disabilities.

We are thankful to LittleBigHelp, Denmark for their generous support to carry out our philanthropic work

for these hapless children. Also we are very grateful to the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment,

GOI, National Institute of Speech & Hearing Disabilities, National Institute for Locomotor

Disabilities (NILD), Department of Women and Child Development & Social Welfare, Govt. of W.B.,

The National Trust, GOI, National Bank for Agriculture & Rural Development, District ICDS Cell,

Bankura, Save the Children, Goonj, The Hans Foundation, CASA, Kolkata, IIMPACT, WBSCL,

Deptt. of Mass Education Extension, GoWB etc.

Heartfelt thanks goes to our team members and volunteers for their tireless effort to achieve our goal. We

are thankful to our Donors, Knowledge partners, Guardians, Governing Body Members and well wishers. Our main concern now is to further empower the challenged Persons with disabilities (children and adult)

as well as the vulnerable, at risk and deprived communities, so that, they may overcome their barriers, gain

access to their rights and become a potential citizen of the Nation. We, thereby, appeal to all concerned for extending their cooperation and support in our endeavour.

marginalized community. Our special school runs with an objective of making them socially

inclusive by creating an atmosphere of togetherness among different classmates and by

conducting group activities. This togetherness mainly helps in all round development of the

children, including social awareness, personal development, social etiquettes, etc.

2. Physical Management: Special care is taken by providing the children with physical disability or

trained in such a way that they do not face any barrier while interacting with people.

8. School Readiness: A special school preparedness curriculum is given to the children before they

are engrossed in regular/ general schools in order to help them cope with class curriculum, the

new environment, regulations of school life and their normal peers.

9. Plus Curricular: We encourage students to partake in plus curricular activities like dancing, singing,

games & sports, etc. The children also show great interest to participate in these kinds of

to reside in Damodar village of Purulia District but presently they are residing in Bankura.

Neeladri stays with his father, mother and grandmother. He took admission in Bikash

Special School on 02.02.18 at the age of 4.5 years. He used to come every day along with

his mother and his mother always had to sit in front of him during the class hours. He kept

himself isolated from other students and did not talk with anyone. He needed his mother’s

help for doing every activity such as eating food, going to toilet and even for playing. As

her mother was totally engaged in taking care of him, she was unable to find time for

herself or for doing any other work. He used to stay in the school from 10am to 12.30pm

along with his mother and after 12.30 he used to cry for going back to his home. Also her


mother was very much astonished as he used to cry continuously incase she had to go out even for some time.

After doing Neeladri’s assessment, the goals for him were set. According to these goals, priority was mostly given

on how to make him socialize with others. Some of the other goals which were set for him were to inbuilt the

habit in him to do toilet in proper place, to eat alone without taking help from anyone, how to insert beads in

strings for increasing attention span, to do colours properly and in specific shapes and spaces etc.

He came to school for 1 year and 4 months and here he was taught several things in one to one way by keeping his

mother seated in front of him. He was taught how to co-operate with other. With the help of action rhymes his

concentration was diverted so that he can co-operate with the class teacher and stay without his mother. He was

also taught to express if he feels the urge to urinate by showing the small finger of his hand.

Presently, Neeladri stays in school from 10am to 3pm without his mother’s company. He carries his own bag and

after entering the classroom keeps the bag in the specific place and manages to sit in his table and chair by

himself. He also learnt to eat food by himself along with his friends in the canteen and enjoyed with them while

eating. After the school gets over, now he carries his own bag and goes back home along with his mother.

Both of his parents are very much happy to see his improvement. Especially his mother is very much overwhelmed

as previously she had to take care of him all the time and did not get any time for herself or for doing other work.

Now his mother gets quality time for herself.

1. He was unable to get in to sitting position from lying.

2. He lacked head control.

3. He couldn’t crawl.

4. He was unable to indicate his toilet needs.

5. He used to drool continuously.

The intervention for the identified problems were planned by priority need based

goal setting. This was done in consultation with the professionals and also with his

mother. As he took admission at a very early age, his mother carefully carried him in

her cycle carrier and accompanied him regularly to Bikash Special School. Since then

ten years has passed and a lot of improvement has been observed in him such as:

1. He can move from chair to wheel chair and the vice versa.

2. Now he is able to stand up independently from his wheel chair.

7. He learnt to drink water independently by pouring it in a glass himself.

8. He uses an apron for his drooling problem and can wipe the saliva trickling from the mouth.

Special emphasis was given on his physical management, language skill training and communication skill training

in one to one situation on a regular basis. Group training is also conducted by using various teaching aids such as

flash cards, charts etc. Presently, emphasis is given functional literacy skill domain and after proper hand holding

training, he learnt to write his own name, name of his parents and address. He can read out names of the days of a

week from a calendar in proper sequence. He is also aware about the different safety measures such as to keep

safe distance from any sharp object, not to touch open electric wires or connections, to inform his class teacher

immediately if the special chair of any of his classmate accidentally gets unhooked. He also helps his mother in


household chores such as cleaning the house, dumping vegetable residues in a specific place and various other

such kinds of activities related to home management. His mother is very happy and contented and stated that

without getting proper guidance from Bikash Special School, it would have not been possible to observe such

improvement in Akash’s condition. He is now recognized as ‘Akash Pal’ in his village and is considered as a role

model who proved that disability is not a barrier and with proper guidance they can also lead a better life. His

parents feel proud of him and hope to see him achieving a lot of things in his future.

Shyamali Mandi. She lives in Khasbahar, a small village of Bankura block I. She belongs to a nuclear family consisting of three members including her parents and one younger brother. Her father is day labour by his profession and he is the only earning member of the family. When she was a new comer to Bikash, she used to cry continuously and her mother had to sit beside her during the entire school hours. It was very difficult to make her remain seated at one place even for a short span of time. She used to cooperate with no one while doing any of the activities with her. After careful assessment in various states, the need areas were identified and the intervention for the identified problems were planned by priority need based goal setting. The goals were reviewed from time to time. Since the last one year, she has been trained regularly in the need areas through various activities according to her goals both in one to one and group situation by using different techniques such as

learning through play, action rhymes etc. A lot of improvement has been observed in Priyanka’s condition. Now her mother doesn’t need to accompany her to Bikash School and she comes by bus regularly. She has overcome her crying tendency during the class hours and learnt to cooperate with everyone. She can indicate her body parts, play with her classmates and enthusiastically participates in action rhymes. Her language and communication skill has also developed and now she can say “Aunty” clearly. Her mother is very happy to see these appreciable improvements in her child’s condition. Previously she had to take care of her all the time and did not get any time for herself or for doing any other work. As she doesn’t need to accompany her to school anymore, she can afford to give her time to his younger son and also do the household chores. She is very much overwhelmed and conveyed her thanks to Bikash Special School as she thinks that without getting proper support and guidance, it would have not been possible to observe such improvements in her child’s condition.

SUCCESS STORY

PURBA ROY

Name of Child : Purba Roy Age: 2 years Sex: Female Category of Disability: Cerebral Palsy

Father’s name : Ananda Roy Mother’s Name : Manika Roy Village : Patalkhuri

A two year old cerebral palsied girl child, Purba Roy, hails from a nuclear family in Patalkhuri village of Bankura 1 Block. After talking to the parents, her name was included in the Bhagabandh Community Based Rehabilitation Centre. Initially, Purba used to lie down in supine position the whole day in a bed made of rope and hardly interacted with any unfamiliar person. Excepting her mother, neither Purba allowed anyone to touch or interact with her, nor would she get out of her mother’s lap. She was even scared to allow the therapist to conduct therapy on her and resisted all the time by crying. Therapist advised her mother not to put her on the bed made out of rope, rather place her against the corner walls in supported sitting position However, being very concerned and worried about Purba, her mother regularly took her to the centre so that she could make friends for herself. Consequently, through regular intervention at home and centre, she finally overcame all fears. Now she stopped lying in her mother’s lap, crying during physio-therapy session and started interacting and cooperating with her peers and educators.

Also, now, she sleeps on the floor maintaining proper hygiene and sits for at least 5 minutes without feeling restless or scared. Her mother, Purba’s prime care giver, is also trying her best to enable her daughter to socialize with other children at the CBR centre. With regular inputs, exposure and support, Purba has made remarkable progress in terms of behaviour change and socialization.

AVI DAS

Name of Child: Avi Das Age : 16 years Sex: Male Village: Patakola Category of Disability: Mental Retardation (90%) Father’s Name: Dipak Das Mother’s Name: Dipa Das

Avi, a 16 year old boy has intellectual impairment and is hyper –active in nature. He dwells in Patakola village of Jagdalla 1 GP in Bankura 1 Block. He belongs to a middle class, joint family, consisting of his parents, elder brother, elder sister, younger brother and grand-parents. His father owns a sweet shop and runs it together with his sons. The earnings from the shop are sufficient for the smooth functioning of the family. They live in a pucca house including 8 rooms (4 rooms on first floor and 4 on ground floor). During survey and intervention, it was observed that, because of his hyper active nature Avi had the habit of throwing any object within his vicinity or reach. To save the household materials, Avi’s parents used to tie his hands and legs with rope and place him in one corner of the room. Darkness, walls, ceiling and neglect

were his companions. At this point, his parents were intensely counselled by CBR project staffs and asked to send their Avi to the CBR centre for his betterment. A special chair and wheel chair has also been recommended for Avi, which will help him to look, observe and enjoy the immediate and extended environment, instead of gazing at the ceiling all day long.


His parents agreed and since 19th June have been bringing Avi to the CBR centre regularly for interaction, change of posture and social interaction. Due to the combination of centre based activities and home based services, Avi is responding positively, interacting and gradually socializing with his peers and educators. His parents too have understood how to manage Avi at home and how to give him a quality life. Soon, it is expected that, Avi will come out of the darkness and lead to a bright future. His parents are grateful to Bikash and The Hans Foundation for helping Avi to have a better quality of life. They regret not having received any guidance or advice from any corners prior to Bikash intervention.

Case Study on Women Support Group of Dhadkidih village, changing traditional outlook on

Pregnant Mother Care

Under the initiatives of the Reducing Child Mortality in Joypur block of Purulia, already 169 Community Women support Groups have been formed who are also functioning effectively within their society, having a

vision of creating safe and healthy community. All of these Support Group Members are motivated & aware enough to bring changes in their society for the benefit of their own upcoming generations. Joypur Block of Purulia was once badly known for the stringent traditional mind-set of the community members about the Nutrition & Care of the mothers & children, thus hindering the optimal development of the mother & children, becoming a major factor for Child Mortality. But through the proper orientation of the Reducing Child Mortality

project staffs, supported by Save the Children, this problem is gradually getting overcome holding the hands of the change-makers of the society – the Community Support Groups. One of such examples can be well found in the village of Dhadkidih of Sidhi-Jamra GP of Joypur Block, where the 11 active Women Support Group members have revealed their efficiency in changing the traditional concepts & practices. There was a very common practice of this village that during pregnancy the mother was not provided with eggs or milk (ideal protein-rich foods) to feed. It was a common belief that these types of food cause harm to the womb, thus giving birth to ill children. The project staffs of Reducing Child Mortality made this issue as their bird’s eye which they found that the only way to address it is by capacitating the Women Support Group members of that community with proper knowledge on Maternal Child Health Care & Nutrition (MNCHN), making leaders of their community so that they themselves can claim the standard practices. Through extensive orientation the Women Support Group members finally got much motivated to raise their voice against this ill practice. But still standing against their own in-laws was a hard challenge for them. Once a time came, when Mrs. Premeswari Matoal, a group member faced the same problem with her, but she could not accept it at any rate, feeling the essence of these protein-rich foods. Finally, she informed her group and they realised that their latency will not give fruits anymore. The Women Support Groups under the leadership of Mrs. Ashtami Matoal and direction of our Community Facilitator jointly visited Premeswari’s house with the local Anganwadi Worker & ASHA. They tried to counsel the family members & in-laws of Premeswari and make them understood the essence of consuming these types of foods during pregnancy. But, afterwards they forcefully made Premeswari fed with milk & egg, changing the practice. After that incident, this group got so active that they used to visit other houses of the pregnant women of their community and supervise whether the mother is fed properly. They took the responsibility of disseminating the standard knowledge & practices on MNCHN to the community members, especially to the pregnant mothers so that they can understand the necessity. They changed the traditional concepts on Maternal Nutrition & Health in many households and when they found that in-taking of such foods is not harming their child, most of them changed their habit & have made egg & milk, a must-to-consume diet for the pregnant women. Later on, many of them heard the same from the ANMs, doctors & hospital staffs thus making them moulded enough to adopt the practice. Though still some of the community members do not want to change their traditional practices, but most of them have changed so & the process of changing is gradually spreading its branches of fruits to the whole community. The Women Support Group members of Dhadkidih village really needs a great appreciation for their group effort to start the inception of change in their community, thus making the objectives of the


Project – Reducing Child Mortality successful, ensuring that the members themselves are catalysed enough to bring sustainable change in their community, which ultimately will help to reduce the Child Mortality & Morbidity in their area at the same time will help to preserve the precious health of mothers of the community.

Case Study on Women Support Group of Dhadkidih village, changing traditional outlook on

Pregnant Mother Care

Manav Mahato, a 3-yaer old son of Indranath Mahato & Sasta Mahato resides in a small village named Ghagra. The boy is the third child of the nuclear family who was born on 7th March, 2017 in Ranchi Hospital and was very adorable. But, the family worried a lot as their baby son from birth only suffered from different health problems, for which the family has to run taking him for the nearest BPHC, leaving their daily jobs. Both of Manav’s parents are daily-waged unskilled labour and thus for their son’s continuous problems & health hazards, the household’s economic problem started rising. Manav was preceded by his twin sisters who are just 2 years older than him, therefore also requiring enough care & protection of parents especially mother. So, in this situation the family was suffering from a genuine problem with their child Manav, unable to trace out the actual problem. The only sustenance to the family was their agricultural production in a small plot of land. While traversing in this harsh situation, one day fortunately during outreach session of Referral Programme, the Community Facilitator of Reducing Child Mortality, Mrs. Purabi Mahato with the Mothers Group members of those area visited and enquired about the present status of Manav and urged Mrs. Sasta Mahato to attend the meetings & follow the discussed issues for the Health &

Nutrition of Manav as well as their two daughters. But, the family from beginning showed no interest in these meetings and even did not want to take suggestions. Fortunately, that day while checking the status of Manav, it was found that the boy is suffering from Severe Acute Malnourishment (SAM), showing signs of Stunting & Wasting too. All of the Mothers Group members realised the urgency of admission of the child to Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) and accordingly they jointly suggested Manav’s mother to immediately take him to the nearby Begunkodor NRC. But, the family denied having a strong belief that Government facilities will deteriorate their child’s present nutritional status. Because of ignorance & less awareness, they believed that Government hospitals & other infrastructures are not good enough to cure a patient. But, their misconception was tried to break by the counselling of the present mothers & Community Facilitators along with ASHA of that area. Both of Manav’s parents were given a detailed concept of what NRC actually is, what services they will get, how their son will be benefitted and so on. After that, they were even met with a nearby NRC-returned child’s family. Ultimately, after their assurance and continuous motivation of the project staffs, the family finally agreed to admit their son to Begunkodor NRC. On 24th of April, 2019, Manav was admitted in Begunkodor NRC with a weight of 8.460 kg, height 82.5 cm and an MUAC measurement of 124mm. After spending one month in NRC, Manav and his mother were released on 18th May, 2019. When he returned with his mother, the change in Manav was vividly noticed to everyone. Manav’s weight was then increased to 9.100 kg and he was having a normal MUAC of 126mm. It was found that through the properly learnt diet & nutrition practices at NRC, Manav got proper diet & gradually his health problems started diminishing. Manav’s parents are much thankful to the project staffs of Reducing Child Mortality. As a honorarium Manav’s mother has got 2800/= rupees after completion of all the follow-ups through bank transfer, and got the ration in every month for one year, such as, 5.000 kgs rice, 2.500 kgs wheat/Atta, 1.000 kgs. Masoor - dal, 1.000 kgs Bengal gram (Chola/Butt) under PDS. This amelioration of Manav’s condition changed the outlook of the household towards Government facilities & they assured that further they will be availing all the benefits. Several follow-ups were being carried by Purabi to ensure the sustainability of the treated malnourishment and the family situations he was living in. On 13th June, Manav was measured by the project staff where it was found that his weight & MUAC which was 9.250 kg and 126 mm respectively. Again on the 2nd follow-up as on 27th July, the measurements were of 9.650 kg and 127mm respectively, which revealed the consistent growth and development of the child. At every such follow-up, different suggestions were given to Manav’s family, starting from low-cost adequate balanced diet to nutritious, tasty recipes Manav can be fed with. The inclusion of food intake according to Manav’s age was being properly discussed to the family through home visits along with the


importance of maintainance of personal hygiene and safe drinking water. Food was suggested to give according to the Quality, Quantity, Frequency and Density including a Tri-colour dietary intake with appropriate coverage of the nutrients, with a special focus on the green and leafy vegetable and protein-rich dietary intake. At present, Manav is a happy child; fit enough to play with friends, his family dreaming for him to become an IPS officer. All of the project staff wishes him bright future endeavour ahead making all his wishes come true.

SUCCESS STORY

MENOKA SOREN

Menoka Saren, a twenty two year old tribal girl, lives in Harekrishnapur, a small village of Bankura block I. She has three brothers and one elder sister, her father is a farmer the only bread earner of the family. The overall income of the family is around 3000/- per month which is not adequate to meet the family’s daily needs. She appeared for higher secondary examination but was unable to pass in one attempt. Due to the large family and meagre income, her father could not afford to continue her education. But she didn’t leave her dream to become successful in life as she always wanted to make a difference


in the lives of her parents and siblings. During the survey for Skill Development training came to know about the course and showed interest to get enrolled in it. As she was very determined to find success, she gradually learned the stepwise procedure of making garments by sizing the raw cloths, cutting them and properly sewing the torn pieces of cloths to make dresses like Petticoat, ‘Kurti’, ‘Churidar’, baby Frock etc. very efficiently. She has achieved good skill in tailoring in a very short span of time. She also got order for making cloths from some of her neighbours and they were quite impressed by seeing her work. Now she is planning to open a sales outlet at her home so that she can take more orders and earn money, thus taking a step forward to fulfill her dream of supporting her family financially. She stated that when she joined the course, she was just wandering if it was truly possible to make it in life, but she managed to gather herself together and decided to fight to overcome the economic hurdles they have been facing since ages. Menoka is a good example who has established herself and now she motivates other girls to become self dependent.

ASPIA KHATUN

Aspia Khatun, aged 19, lives in Supurdihi, a remote village of Bankura district. Her family consists of ten members including her elder sisters, brothers and parents. Her father is a hawker and earns a very small

amount per month which is insufficient to meet the basic needs of the family. Due to extreme poverty and also like most girls in her traditional community, Aspia was not allowed to go for higher studies after she passed her higher secondary examination. Her parents wanted her to spend her time at home, helping with household chores. Since her childhood she had to face a lot of economic hurdles and so she wanted to support her family financially but being in a rural area, the scope of finding a job was very limited. While she was studying in class 12, she came to know about the Skill Development training on tailoring conducted by Bikash from one of her relatives and enrolled her name for the skill training course. She always had interest in tailoring and hence after enrolling her name in the tailoring classes, she enthusiastically attended each and every scheduled class regularly. After completion of her training, she has learnt the skill of making different types of

garments such as Petticoat, baby Frock, “Kurti”, “Churidar” etc. She is very happy to complete the course successfully and said “I believe I can attain better results, I am putting my every effort to see that I achieve my dream to support my family in overcoming the economic hurdles. I wish to remain focussed and work more hard. I have to build my future.” She also anticipates that she should soon open an outlet of tailoring at her own house, where she can take orders, thus fulfilling her dream to become an independent woman and support her family. So as it goes without saying, if girls are given opportunity they capitalise on it and build ambitions that go beyond just making a living, but extend to making a life for themselves and also for their family.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING ON MAKING OF ARTIFICIAL JWELLERY

From 1st September, 2018, Bikash started with a special initiative to uplift the conditions of the tribal and

underprivileged women of Bankura district by making them skilled in artificial jewellery preparation, making them self-dependent enough to lead a successful life in future. Each batch of students consisted of 20 underprivileged girls, who must be of or above 18 years of age. These girls get a consistent training for 6 months in this trade. Till date, 1 full batch has been completed and at present, one batch is running.

Objectives: 1. To equip the tribal youth with skills and knowledge in the core trade. 2. To develop a capable and skillful workforce as per the market demand. 3. To reach undeserved and backward tribal communities through specific project mode. 4. To supplement family income generation program through self-employment.

SUCCESS STORY

RANJON ROY

Ranjoy Roy, a resident of Monohapur village of Bankura District, lives in a family headed by father, who is a farmer and the only earning member of the family. His family consists of four members including one sister and parents.

The monthly income of the family was low enough to support the daily needs of the family. His father somehow managed to afford Ranjoy’s education till class 12 but after that he became very ill and was unable to go for work and hence there was no source of income in the family at that time. After passing higher secondary examination, Ranjoy dreamt of becoming self-independent and earn money so that he can support his family financially. He got the way of fulfilling his dream when he got to know about the Skill Development Vocational Training in the month of March, 2019. He was very much enthusiastic about the course and immediately contacted Bikash Society so that he can enrol his name in the electronics course. During the c ourse he gradually perceived basic knowledge about the fundamentals and laws of electronics, calculation of ohms and watt, transistor, capacitor, diode, IC etc. He also learnt to repair TV, fridge, AC, light, fan etc. He was very much efficient in her work and gave a lot of effort in learning the lessons efficiently. Now he started earning by repairing the

worn-out electronic gadgets in his neighbourhood areas, thus becoming self-reliant and self-dependent. He also plans to open his own outlet in the near future in his residence. Now he earns around R 1000-1200 per month and he is immensely grateful to Bikash Society for showing him the path of becoming an independent man.

CLOTH FOR WORK & SCHOOL TO SCHOOL PROGRAMME

A community development initiative was taken by Bikash with the support of Goonj. Community Development plays a vital role in rural re-construction and seeks to empower groups of people by developing their thinking process and identifying their local issues. When we discuss about basic needs, we say food, cloth and shelter. But there are different issues in the list of development but we never think of cloth as an issue. Not only in the community, it also address the educational needs of thousands of remote and starved village schools by channelizing the unused materials of city’s affluent schools not as an item to share rather as a tool to bring out a broad behavioural change in the minds of receiver and the contributor.

Programmes under Cloth for Work

This year community development work has been done by the community people with full enthusiasm in the district of Bankura. It created significant changes in their daily lives through which they understood about their collective interest and ability to work together. The most important part of the programme was that the material is used a tool and not just a commodity.

Objectives: Utilization of old materials for social change, rural development and a valuable asset for income

generation

Nurturing village people thought process, knowledge and empowering them to grow innovative ideas and solution around their local matters.

Under the programme, we have approached to different villages for their community work. A detail of the programme has been provided below- Nature of Work done during 2019-20 : Kitchen Garden, Community meeting place, Childrens’ Play ground, Childrens’ Common place for study * play etc. in different villages in Bankura – I Block, Participants were 1383 covering 10 villages.

Programmes under School to School

Schools in a village needs are very basic and simple. Normally, they don’t have pencil, eraser or notebook to write on. It is often seen that they are carrying their books in utility bags rather in school bags. So the unused materials are given for their learning which also adds happiness in a child. This program in this 2018-19 year has spread its benefits amongb many new schools in different village of Bankua, covering more underprivileged students.


Objectives: Meeting the needs of the children for educational purpose. Making a child education and overall development meaningful. Making the Children aware enough about basic and life skill education
