From the Managing Trustees Desk:-
I am happy to share with you the annual Report of Kissan Vikas Trust for the year
2008-2009. The year was full of challenges, learning and new initiatives.
Due to the heavy rain fall in Nepal, Khosi River flooded and flood affected many
district of Bihar state. Thus KVT started several programs which were focused mainly
on the disaster preparedness in the community level and minimize the loss during
disaster. KVT started immediate relief and rescue work in the flood affected area.
KVT established a shelter home at Manoharpur high school of Saharsa district. KVT
arranged three vehicles to carry the people from the receiving center to relief camps
or to the railway station with taking special care of old and children. Health team, first
aid team, Apda prabandh team provided their support to the affected people. With
the help of community kitchen we provided nutritious food and drinking water to a
large number of flood affected people. We are still working for children, women and
disabled to bring them into a normal life.
We are collectively working with the community and local administrative to stop Child
Labour, Child Abuse and Child Exploitation during and after flood. We are also
continuously generating awareness in the community through different workshop,
rallies and programs for the promotion of child education, Child Rights and Child
Protection.
It is the rights of all human being to live or let others live happily. We should respect
the value of each human being and protect the deprived section of the society from
all sorts of exploitation. KVT is continuously working for it.
The success of KVT’s efforts is all due to the dedicated team of volunteers,
community workers and staffs. I sincerely appreciate the commitment and sensitivity

Beginning of the Organization:
Jai Prakash Narayanji led the student’s movement of 1974 in Bihar, which brought a
historical change in the state. This was the struggle of democracy versus
dictatorship. In 1977 people voted for democracy and the government changed.
During this movement Mr. Kumar joined non political organization ‘Chhatra Yuva
Sangharsh Vahini’ founded by Jai Prakash Narayanji in January 1975. Mr. Prabhat
Kumar led the students at regional level. After this movement reached its logical
conclusion Mr. Kumar decided not to join active politics rather fight for the human
rights and fulfillment of basic needs of the community. He joined the peaceful land
liberation movement at Bodhgaya as a state convener. He succeeded in ensuring
women’s land rights. He along with his fellows of this movement decided to work for
the rights of general people on land, water and forest. He headed Peoples Union for
Civil Liberties (PUCL) founded by Jai Prakash Narayan as its Vice-President and
General Secretary.
During this time he started a water literacy program in Dhanband on the issue of
water pollution of Damodar River under the banner of Chhotanagpur Kissan Vikas
Sangh. In course of his working Mr. Kumar understood that true development is a
multi facet affair. Thus he decided to work for integrated development. As a result of
this he along with his fellows decided to register an organization for promotion of
sustainable development in an integrated manner and Kissan Vikas Trust (KVT)
came into existence in 1997. KVT also find its traces from Chhotanagpur Kissan
Vikas Sangh. The issue of Damodar River was initiated by Chhotanagpur Kissan
Vikas Sangh, where present Managing Trustee of KVT was working as an advisor.
After its registration KVT started working with the most deprived, downtrodden,
marginalized section of the society. It’s a fact that KVT has its limitations in
development work but organization believes that it will earn support from all for its
initiatives.

1. EDUCATION
Education is the basic need for the all round development of the rural areas. KVT has
identified many obstacles which prohibit children from going to school and their
retention at school i.e. communication gap between teachers and students,
unpleasant teaching style and environment, engagement of children in household
work or child labor, absence of entertainment etc. KVT decided to intervene for the
better educational environment for children in school, their all round development,
and retention of children in school and to create an enabling environment in school
through teacher-student dialogue.
The focus of the education program has been to internalize the value of education by
all the stakeholders of education delivery process so that they gradually get involved
in the education process leaving any work that the child is engaged in. For achieving
this dream KVT worked strategically in the targeted villages of Khagaria district of
Bihar. Below we are mentioning some highlights of this effort.
a. Repairing of School Infrastructures:
In the aftermath of devastated Koshi Flood, educational environment affected in a
big way as many of the school building were damaged due to flood water. If it was
not washed away, it remained in a dilapidated condition. The basic sanitation and
drinking water facility of the school were also damaged due to this. Thus students
are forced to attend classes in the open space and mid day meals are also being
cooked in the open space, which is not at all hygienic. As a result of this there is a
steep decline in the students’ attendance and increase in drop out rate. Seeing this
KVT planned to rebuild the basic infrastructures of Govt. Primary School of 10 flood
affected villages of Khagaria District of Bihar. Infrastructures includes repair and
reconstruction of school building, repairment of existing latrine as well as
construction of separate latrine for girls, provision of safe drinking water through
installation of deep boring (100 feet) and high raised hand pumps. Save the
Children (SCF) supported in this effort. Main objective of this effort was to rebuild
the school infrastructure as well as promote Child Friendly School through creation
of some model schools.
Kissan Vikas Trust Page 12
In the implementation KVT ensured the participation of different stakeholders’ like-
VEC (Village Education Committee), Child Protection Committee (CPC), District
Education Officer (DEO), Block Education Officer (BEO), and members of
Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) in the planning, execution and monitoring of the
above mentioned program.

b. Reviving educational environment in the village:
Khosi flood affected the educational environment very badly. The dropout rate
increased in a high percentage. Most of the parents forced their children to go for
earning (child Labour) instead
of school as their economic
condition hindered due to
flood. In this backdrop after
working on the KVT planned to
conduct a Back to School
Campaign in the 20 villages of
Khagaria district of Bihar. The
main objectives of this
campaign were to restart the
enrollment of drop out children
and to change the mindset of
the parents towards the education. Different types of educational slogans being used
in the campaign for the motivation of the villagers. The members of Children Group
(Bal Panchayat), Child Protection Committee, members of Panchayati Raj Institution
(PRI), members of Women’s Group (SHG) and the other school going children
actively took part in this campaign.
In the second phase of this campaign was termed as “Sankalp Sabha” where all the
stakeholders of school (parents, teachers, villagers, CFS members & students) took
the oath towards cent percent enrollment and retention of students in the school. As
a result of this rigorous exercise education perception towards education has
changed little bit which can be observed by looking at the enrollment and retention
rate in those areas. Save the Children (SCF) supported KVT in this effort.

c. Rebuilding Educational Set up in the flood affected schools:
In addition to the repairing of school building, renovation of toilets & installation of
hand pump, KVT also supported 43 primary & middle schools of Khagaria, Mansi
and Alouli block of Khagaria district. This school kit contains essentials Teaching
Learning Materials (TLM) like- Green Board (3 in each school), wall clock (3 in
each school), Glob,
educational calendar,
Geographical map, A4 sized
paper (8 Packets each
school), First Aid Box,
Bucket, Dari, Sketch Pen &
Suggestion box. This has
helped in deed in bringing
back the educational
atmosphere of the schools,
where flood has damaged
almost every thing. Selection of school was done on the basis of the degree of
damages due to flood. This 41 school includes 10 schools where KVT has
worked on the infrastructure development.
But only giving TLM to school will not serve the purpose as the students of those
schools also lost their all educational materials in the devastated Koshi Flood.
Thus KVT supported in bringing back the smile to the face of these ill-fated
Distribution of School Kit
Kissan Vikas Trust Page 15
students by distributing educational kit composed of pencil, pen, note book, color
pencil, eraser, scale, water bottle umbrella and school bag. In total 5500 students
got this support. This also helped in bringing the interest in education to the
children mind which can be seen through increase in enrollment rate and
retention of students. Save the Children has supported KVT in this effort.

d. Child Friendly Space (CFS) The objective behind the creation of child friendly
space was to provide Psycho Social support and emergency schooling facility for
the flood affected children. Generally majority of the children in any disaster get
traumatized due to insecurity which directly affect their psycho-social
development. Thus KVT planned to develop Child Friendly Space (CFS) where
affected children would get a secure place for different types of recreational and
educational activities. According to this plan KVT established the CFS in 50
villages of Khagaria district at Bihar immediately after the 2007 flood which now
running as activity centers. In the CFS all sorts of indoor and outdoor playing
materials, black board, drawing materials, first aid kit etc were distributed. As an
effect of this effort the psycho-social disturbances in the minds of the children
diminished, unity among the children increased and discrimination among them
also got reduced to a great extent.

e. Painting and Cultural programme:-
KVT organized Painting and Cultural Program in the 20 flood affected village of
Khagaria District. The main aim of this program was to develop the capacity of the
children through extra curriculum activities like Song, Dance & Competition as well as
increase awareness against Child Trafficking and Child marriage through small skit &
role play. Members of Children Group (Bal Panchyat) took the initiatives in organizing
the program.

2. CHILD PROTECTION
Child Rights are fundamental freedoms and the inherent rights of all human beings
below the age of 18. These rights apply to every child, irrespective of the child's,
parent's / legal guardian's race, colour, sex, creed or other status.
Right through history, children have been abused and exploited. They suffer from
hunger and homelessness; work in harmful conditions, high infant mortality, and
deficient health care and limited opportunities for basic education. A child need not
live such a life. Childhood can and must be preserved. Children have the right to
survive, develop, be protected and participate in decisions that impact their lives.
KVT since inception pledged to work for this vulnerable section. Bihar is one of the
states where Child Rights are grossly violated. This is because some time people are
not aware, sometimes there are lacunas on the part of administration’s accountability
to bring child in the center of developmental effort. In the aftermath of Koshi Flood, in
the working area of KVT, Child Trafficking and Child Labour problems increased
many fold. There was no such great effort by the Govt. in the ground level to curb
such problems. Seeing that, KVT designed a systematic and strategic approach of
development programming in the ground level to sensitize society about the ill-effect
of child rights violation and to develop public support base in the village level to wipe
out child rights violation. KVT understood that it is not possible to change the
scenario completely with in small time. But KVT is confident that in this effort will
definitely take a good shape in long run. KVT got support in this venture from its
donors, who guided KVT in fine tuning its effort as well as making provision for
financial support. Below we are mentioning the glimpses of KVT’s effort to make a
child friendly society.
a. Children Groups Formation (Bal Panchyat):-
Bal Panchayat is a collective group, composed of children irrespective of caste race
and religion. It is formed by the children, for the children and with the children through
which they can raise their voice against child exploitation, child labour, child abuse &
child marriage and also they can demand for the protection of their rights and
security in their own family, community, society. Another aim of this effort is to make
them aware about the procedure for democratic system which would definitely help
them to become a responsible citizen of the largest democratic country of this earth.
Kissan Vikas Trust Page 22
In the year 2008-09 KVT has
established Children Groups
in the 40 villages of Khagaria
districts. 10 groups in
Dhanbad of Jharkhand state
and 5 groups in Baraahatti
block of Gaya. All the children
of the targeted village within
the age group of 10 to 14
years became the members
of the group. 12 children were elected by the members as a representative of the
group in each village. KVT provide different types of capacity development training
programs and awareness generation programs related to Child Rights to these
representatives. These representatives play the role to generate the knowledge
among other members and in their own community. This has helped KVT in the
social mobilization at the village level for the protection of Child Rights.
Case Study
Village‐ Chiyadha District‐ Khagaria Thirteen years old Khusboo was elected as a Shiksha Mantri at Chiyadha Bal Panchyat. One day her parents forced her to get married with a man of 35 years old. Khusboo through Bal Panchayet activity got aware about the ill effect of Child Marriage and now her own family member is forcing her for Child Marriage. Thus she took the courage to fight it out with the help of other Bal Panchayet members. She along with Bal Panchayet members started a campaign against her marriage. This was informed to KVT at Patna office. KVT along with community mobilizer and CPC members met with Khusboo’s parents. Through discussion they tried to convince her parents on the ill effect of Child Marriage and stop the ensuing marriage of Khusboo. The entire effort went to vein as khusboo’s parents were not agreed to cancel the marriage. At the end Bal Panchyet decided to solve the matter through Gandhigiri. All the members of Bal Panchyet requested khusboo’s parents to stop the marriage and also protested through a silent march in the locality. At the end khusboo’s parents agreed and canceled the marriage. This was a great achievement for Bal Panchyet where not only Khusboo but other girls also got the motivation to fight against Child marriage.

b. Astitava Centre (Girl to girl education):-
The main objective behind
Astitava centre is to provide
education to those girls who
are unable to attend school
due to any shorts of physical
or mental problems or due to
their poor economic condition.
In this centre generally girls’
students plays the main role to
provide education to other
needy girls. Astitave centre
also plays the role to discover the hidden potentiality among the students. Bal
Panchyat has established two Astitave centre in Bachota village of Khagaria district
where girls to girls education is running successfully. KVT provided support to Bal
Panchyet in this effort.
c. Child Protection Committee:- In continuation to the Bal-Panchayat, KVT felt the need to constitute a body in the
village level which will work as a statutory authority in the village level for the
protection of Child Rights. Thus Child Protection committee was formed. Child
Protection Committee (CPC) is a collective group of 12 members which comprises of
6 male, 3 female and 3 children. In all 20 targeted villages of Khagaria district this
CPC was formed. KVT trained these groups in different issues related to child
protection as well as provide training on emergency safety measures during flood,
safe evacuation of children, aged, disabled during natural disasters. The duties of
this group were to work as a watch-dog body for the child protection as well as train
other fellow villagers on these issues. This is really a successful venture as after the
formation of CPC Child Rights violation has decreased in the targeted villages as well
as children came in the forefront of local developmental effort which was earlier non-
existent.

Case Study no.1
Village‐ Chatar Block‐ Alouli District‐ Khagaria Harjiban Mahoto was working as a contractor in chatar village of Khagaria district. One day he planned to take three children named as Lalit Sada aged 14, Manoj sada aged 15 and Sakaldip sada aged 14 to engage them as labour to a project site at Punjab. He talked with their parents and convinced them by providing Rs 500/‐ in advance. After taking the three children to Punjab he engaged them in a rice mill as labour, where they were working nine to twelve hours a day. But since their departure from the village neither their parents got any information about their whereabouts nor got any monthly money as agreed prior to the departure. Their parents tried to talk with the contractor quite a few times but due to social inequalities their voice was suppressed. When KVT got the information about this mater one meeting was organized with the Child Protection Committee members and the project coordinator of Save the Children. During the course of meeting CPC members called the contractor and under community pressure he admitted the charges against h h ld l l h h h b b k h

This is a case study of Child labour where CPC played the major role to fight against it. Babulal Sing was one of the contractors of Chatra village. He took Roshan Kumar aged 14 to Punjab and engaged him in a rice mill as a labour. In the rice mill he was forced to work minimum 12 hrs a day. The Contractor did not pay any advance amount to Roshan Kumar’s father as they were good friend of each other. But since Roshan’s departure from the village neither Roshan’s parents got any information about their whereabouts nor got any monthly money as agreed prior to the departure. Roshan’s father tried to talk with the contractor quite a few times but due to social inequalities his voice was suppressed. CPC took the in charge of this case. CPC members called the contractor and under community pressure he admitted the charges against him Babula Sing was forced by community people to bring back Roshan Kumar

d. Child Rights Mapping:-
Child Rights Mapping is a exercise through which community will aware about the
risk and safe area of their own village especially during any natural disaster as well
as they will be informed about different social problems affecting children like Child
Marriage, Child Labor, Child Trafficking, Child Abuse and Child Exploitation which
are existing in their society. This helps in building community participation against
these vices of the society. KVT organized Child Rights mapping exercise in all 20
targeted villages of Khagaria District at Bihar.

KVT organized a two days capacity development program for the Bal Panchayat
members of 20 targeted villages of Khagaria District. The objectives of this program
were to build capacity of the children through Decision Making process and
development of leadership quality in the issues of Child rights and Child Protection.

to that 20 volunteers,
Project Coordinator and
field coordinator of KVT and
the partner NGO Samata
Gram Seva Sanstha
(SGSS) also participated in
the program.
g. Bal Surakhya
Rath:- Capacity development
cannot happen merely
through training and orientation programs. KVT established number of Community
Based Organizations (CBO) in the village level to sustain their effort in future. Thus
developing capacity of these CBOs was the biggest challenge for KVT. In this
direction KVT designed a very unique program where these CBOs would get
practical hands on exposure in managing programs. This initiative was termed as
Small Grant Project. Save the Children supported KVT in this experiment. As per the
plan it was decided that all the existing CBOs of the villages like CPC, VEC, SHG,
Bal-Panchayat, and PRI members would jointly plan a program on promotion of child
rights and child protection in their respective villages. They would also execute the
plan of their own with out any direct support of KVT. KVT would only help them in
financial aspect. CBOs will manage this fund of their own. The maximum limit of
budget would be Rs.10000/- per village. This initiative was launched by KVT in all 20
targeted villages. Every village planned and executed different activities in this
regard. The best small grant project was Bal Suraksha Rath, planned by Chaidha
Panchayat. It was basically a joint effort of 4 targeted villages that accumulated their
budgeted fund to implement the project. During the Dushere Festival this Bal
Suraksha Rath traveled through out Chaidha Panchayat area composed of villages
like Parmanandpur, Kamalpur, Rakho, Bhiryahi, Bissbitti, Santosh, Chowk-Mushari
etc. CPC members, Bal-Panchayat members & Bal Mitras of Chaidha Panchayat
were accompanying the Rath. They took active part in educating community people
Bal Suraksha Rath

through slogan, pamphlets, posters, banners, street plays etc against child labour,
child marriage, child trafficking & gender discrimination. This initiative became very
popular among the villagers.

leaders of 20 villages participated in the program. The main topic of the workshop is
based on prevention of
Child Trafficking and Child
labour.
i. District level Consultation:- The Program Coordinator
of Save the Children Mr.
Abhijeet Nirmal had
organized a District level
consultation at Khagaria
District of Bihar. The objective of the program was based on evaluation of different
activities done by KVT in Khagaria District in the presence of Child Protection
Committee, Bal Panchayat, Bal Mitras (Volunteers), and teachers of the flood
affected 20 villages. The outcome of the evaluation was very positive. KVT got the
appreciation for doing marvelous job for children as well as community in the flood
affected villages. It was shared by the participants that the enrollment rates increased
and drop out rate decreased after the repairing and construction work of school
building. Provision of latrine and drinking water facilities encouraged the girls for
schooling. Rebuilding educational set up encouraged both student and their parents
for schooling. Child marriage and Child labour has decreased because of different
awareness and training programs organized by KVT.

3. Disaster preparedness:
In the working area of KVT, flood is a common problem. The situation has more
aggravated after infamous Koshi flood. To face this sort of natural disaster there

systematic program which focuses mainly on the disaster preparedness in the
community level and minimize the loss during disaster. The whole program could
be divided into two part- developing Community Based Organization (CBOs) at the
village level and creation of a community assets & infrastructures needed for
facing disasters. The whole effort was supported by TDH- Germany.

The purpose of creating Mahila Sakti Sangathan is to ensure participation of
women in the disaster preparedness system at the village level. It is quite obvious
that women stay more time in the home and they become the worst sufferer during
flood. Thus KVT trained them on life skill education with respect to flood, basic
health & hygiene education, First Aid, how to use life saving apparatus during
flood. KVT also motivated them to raise voice against domestic violence,

platform of hand pump. Almost thirty hand pump rose with the support of Save the
Children and TDH.
4. Ongoing activity: • SHG group:-
Women empowerment is one of
the core areas of working for
KVT. Since beginning KVT
worked on this issue by
developing the capacity of
women on different issues. But in
course of its working KVT
understood that the social status
of women can not be changed
unless we can create some
income generation opportunity exclusively for women. As a first step in this
Kissan Vikas Trust Page 40
direction, KVT formed SHG groups. It is an ongoing activity for KVT. Till date 65
SHG groups were formed in Khagaria (Bihar) and Dhanbad (Jharkhand) and
these groups are functioning well. Most of the women are using the fund in
different micro income generation work like fish business, Bangle shop,
Stationary shop etc. Since beginning of this effort, KVT has given emphasis on
quality, not quantity. In future KVT is planning to give skill development training
on some trades which suits their temperament and start income generating
option. Details of 10 SHG groups are mentioned below.

• Children day Celebration:-
Kissan Vikas Trust Page 41
Children's Day in India is
celebrated on Pandit Nehruji's
birthday as a day of fun and
frolic, a celebration of
childhood, children and
Nehruji's love for them. As a
tribute to his love for children,
Nehruji's birthday is celebrated
all over India as 'Children’s
Day’. The day is marked with a
lot of activities for children. But
the fact remains that only a
section of the country’s children actually have an opportunity to celebrate their
existence. Schools organize events and activities that their students thoroughly
enjoy, but there is an entire population of young ones that are left ignored on this
special day – the downtrodden unprivileged children. KVT works with this
unprivileged section.
KVT organized a Bal- Adhiakar Mela on the occasion of Children day at Goushala
road of Khagaria district. There are 776 children of 70 villages along with the
voluntaries participated in this faire. On that day various type of cultural program like
dance, song, poem, painting and nukkad-natak were performed by the children. They
also made different painting and
slogans on a big canvas. Save
the Children Supported in this
effort.
• International Red Hand day:-
Red Hand Day, held on
February 12, is a universal
annual commemoration day
created to draw attention to the fate of children who are forced to serve as soldiers in
wars and armed conflicts. The aim of Red Hand Day is to call for action against this
practice, and support for children who suffer from this severe form of child abuse. The worldwide number of child soldiers is estimated to be between 250,000 and
Children’s Day
Red Hand Day
Kissan Vikas Trust Page 42
300,000 (as of 2006), a third of whom are girls; however it is difficult to know the
correct number, as most of them are deployed in armed rebel groups.
Women’s Forum against Child Abuse celebrated this day to protest the use of child
as a soldier. The event was organised at J.D. Women’s College, Beily Road, Patna.
The event was organised by the members of Women’s Forum against Child abuse.
KVT celebrated this day on Khagaria District of Bihar. 125 students of Kambalpur
and 150 students of Kanalya
village participated on this day.
• International Women’s day Celebration:-
International Women's Day
(IWD) is marked on March 8
every year. It is a major day of
global celebration for the
economic, political and social
achievements of women. The
idea of having an international
women's day was first put forward at the turn of the 20th century amid rapid world
industrialization and economic expansion that led to protests over working conditions.
By urban legend, women from clothing and textile factories staged one such protest
on 8 March 1857 in New York City. The garment workers were protesting against
very poor working conditions and low wages. The protesters were attacked and
dispersed by police. These women established their first labor union in the same
month two years later.
On the occasion of Women’s Day Mahila Shakti Sangathan a unit of KVT organized
a women’s awareness rally on Khagaria District of Bihar. All total 514 women of 30
villages participated in this rally. The main issue of the rally was based on raising
voice against sexual harassment and domestic violence. On this occasion all the
participated women take the oath of organizing next one year campaign on the issue
of Promotion of girl’s education, Promotion of women’s employment and fight against
sexual harassment and Domestic violence.
