1. Message from the desk of Member Secretary Dear Friends I am happy to present the LOKADRUSTI annual report for the year 2012-13. This is the 25

th

annual report of our organisation LOKADRUSTI . This organisation was set up by a team of researchers in the late eighties and their vision finally set a voluntary organization for the vulnerable people of the district. LOKADRUSTI has over the past 25 years of project intervention with a variety of innovative ideas to build and develop these partnerships. Some very interesting initiatives have been undertaken and each of these has strengthened the partnership processes. Yet a lot remains to be done. We need to build upon these experiences.

During its working period LOKADRUSTI has been able to reach to the poorest of the poor in the most inaccessible pockets of Nuapada district and address a number of issues emerging from time to time. Starting from Education from its inception, Lokadrusti has worked in different sectors like Livelihood Promotion through Natural Resource Management, Setting up Grain Bank and Seed Banks ,Procurement and selling of NTFPs, providing different units of Individual and group lncome generating programme etc. For watershed development Lokadrusti has worked effectively and has created some sustainable structures. Community Mobilization by LOKADRUSTI during its working period is one of the major achievements. In the mean time LOKADRUSTI also has a major focus on Women and child development through health, education and different child development program. LOKADRUSTI always extends a helping hand in monitoring of the different activities implemented by govt. for the development of the downtrodden people in the remote areas. In its shifting strategy LOKADRUSTI has created academic wings separately with separate identity. The academic structure (Lokadrusti College of Advanced Technology) is a unique and is the only one Govt. permitted Computer College within 100 kilometers radius. Presently it is providing BCA and PGDCA courses to the students of the area. Besides this Lokadrusti is running a study centre for IGNOU which proves to be a very good platform for many people of the area to complete their Graduation, Post Graduation and other professional degrees. During the 25 years of Journey LOKADRUSTI has come across various experiences which have enriched our vision and sharpen our approach. It has demonstrated its utility and proven its relevance in the development environment especially in Nuapada district in particular and Western Odisha districts in general. Lokadrusti has extended helping hand to other NGOs and civil society organisation of Western Odisha particularly in the district of Bargarh, Bolangir, Kalahandi, in regard to intervening on the issue of distress migration. We are confident that we will be able to address the emerging issues of the area effectively in the coming days. I am privileged to present the Annual Report 2012-13 of this organisation. I look forward to comments and suggestions on the roles that LOKADRUSTI should play in the future. Abani Mohan Panigrahi Member Secretary

2. Introduction

2.1 About Lokadrusti

Lokadrusti is a non profitable voluntary organization registered under the Societies Registration

Act on 28th February 1988. Its growth and activities can be broadly classified into three phases.

Phase one was from 1988 to 1993 where priority was given to community mobilization and

formulating strategies for intervention. A workshop “Hunger and Under Development: Is

there a way out for Kalahandi?” was organized in 1991. A number of social activists,

bureaucrats, planners, intellectuals, politicians, community people participated and agreed

upon the idea of watershed management as the answer to the chronic problem of the

region. One of the most backward blocks of the district Boden was selected for intervention

and a study “ Boden a Societal Appraisal” was conducted in twenty villages of Boden

block. During the 2nd phase i.e. from 1993-1998,

programme implementation started with the assistance

of funding agencies like HIVOS. Emphasis was given

for the formation of community based organization

like Samaj Bikash Mahila Samity; a federation of

women’s groups and Lokasamities ( People’s

committees) from the village level. Care was taken to

include women, landless, small and marginal

farmers who live at the bottom of social hierarchy.

The third phase has been continuing since

1998. Here through a series of meetings, training

programmes networking is established with the

pallisabha, Gramsabha, Grampanchayat,

government line departments and local NGOs. This

provide all the people the opportunity for information

sharing and linking up micro organizations such as

youth clubs, small NGOs working in one or two villages and women’s committees.

Programmes such as poverty reduction, empowerment of rural women , streamlining out

of school children are undertaken which have become very much successful. So Lokadrusti

replicated its project activities to periphery villages with the support of different funding

agencies in last two and half decade. During these period our project were supported by Indian

donors agency like district environment society, CAPART New-Delhi, NABARD, Bhubaneswar,

Ministry of Human Resource Development Dept. of Education Govt. of India, Ministry of Rural

Development Govt. of India, NCLP, Indian Council of Historical Research, Odisha Primary

Education Programme Authority (OPEPA) Govt. of Odisha, Panchayati Raj Dept. Govt. of

Odisha, UNDP New-Delhi, UNICEF Bhubaneswar, WORLP/ Watershed Mission Govt. of

Odisha, In addition to this Lokadrusti project were also supported by foreign donor

organizations like HIVOS Netherlands, German Agro Action Germany, KKS Germany,

CARE India, American Indian Foundation, Christian Children fund, Child Fund India,

Trickle up America, Aid et Action and FORDFOUNDATION. Lokadrusti also had a brief but

insightful experience of working with HINDALCO, Hirakud in Sambalpur and Aditya Birla

Group, in Tikri, Laxmipur in Koraput district under CSR.

MISSION

The Mission of Lokadrusti is to

create an enabling environment for

social change to empower the

powerless/weaker section/down-

trodden.

VISION

organization that works

To promote participatory people centered process of development.

CASE STUDIES-1

1. SMC’s Struggle for Creating a Safe School Environment for Children

Barpadar is a small village in Litiguda Gram Panchayat in Sinapali block of Nauapada district in Odisha. The village is covered under Learning and Migration programme (LAMP), run by Lokdrushti with support from American India Foundation. School Management Committee (SMC) members were trained on the provisions of the RTE Act as well as on the roles and responsibilities of the SMC while managing a school. SMC meetings are held regularly in the village. Self Help Group members and village youth were trained on the implementation of RTE.

In a meeting of SMC members and the community on October 22, 2011, they decided to bring two important issues to the notice of the block and district administration.

One issue concerned the location of an electricity transformer in the school. It was positioned within the school campus and posed a risk to children’s lives. The other issue pertained to a request for building some additional classrooms.

The SMC wrote an application raising these two issues and addressed it to the District Collector. A

copy each was sent to the Block Development Officer (BDO), Block Resource Centre Coordinator

(BRCC), and District Inspector (DI) of Schools . An application was also sent to the Education

Secretary, Government of Odisha, but no action was taken on their application. They again

contacted the BDO and BRCC office enquiring about the follow up on these issues. They even

approached the Electricity Supply Board, but no result came out of that.

Ultimately, the villagers took a decision to close the school till the time these issue were resolved.

They informed the local police, the BDO and the BRCC regarding their decision. Lokdrushti also

discussed the issue with the District Collector and the media. The matter was highlighted in the

electronic and print media.

As a result of all this, block officials, including the BDO, the BRCC, the Sub Inspector of Schools(SIS)

and the Cluster Resource Centre Coordinator(CRCC) reached the school and promised necessary

action. An amount of Rs 50,000 was sanctioned for shifting the transformer and a sum of Rs

1,14,000 was released immediately for classroom construction. Even after this, the electricity

transformer was not relocated. Thereafter, the villagers filed an RTI application. This finally made

the administration take action upon the issue and the transformer was relocated to a safe place in

November 2012. The classrooms’ construction is also about to finish and will be available for use by

March 2013.

SMC and the village community have taken up the issue of education of children from migrant

families. As a result of the SMC’s active intervention this year (2012–13), ten boys and eight girls

are staying with caregivers, while their families have migrated. No child has migrated this year and

the village has declared itself is a child migration free village.

13

Similarly, SMC of Kamalamal Ashram School also fought for removal of an electric transformer and

succeeded in their effort. There was an electric transformer within school campus, and an 1100 KV

electric wire was passing above the school building. Not only did it risk the lives of children, but it

also remained a hindrance for building of new classrooms. As it is an Ashram school with more than

300 children from classes I to VIII resident, there was requirement for more classrooms. Due to

limitation of land, SMC decided to build another floor for classrooms. This, though, was not

possible due to the high tension electric wire passing above the building. The SMC brought the

matter before the authorities many times, even meeting the District Collector. The District

Collector also sanctioned an amount of Rs 5,00,000 for this purpose from Integerated Action Plan

(IAP) fund, but implementation process was very slow. Finally, SMC members had to resort to

closing the school and sitting on a dharna on July 30, 2012. Finally, the administration responded

and took immediate action to shift the transformer.

2. SMC Succeeds in Getting Safe Drinking Water for Schools

Jarelpadar is a small village in Sinapali block, Odisha. The Jarelpadar school did not have drinking

water supply and children had to go to their home to drink water.

The SMC along with the village youth took up the issue of ensuring safe drinking water in school.

They wrote an application regarding the matter to the BDO and requested him to personally look

into the matter. The BDO immediately sent a Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS) Junior

Engineer (JE) to the village.

The JE saw to it that the water pipeline was extended to the school and also set the water supply

timings as per the school’s schedule. Now there is no water scarcity in the school and children are

enjoying their time at school.

This entire episode has given tremendous confidence to the community and the SMC, with the

support of the youth group, has identified some other issues for improving their schools. They have

included this in the School Development Plan prepared by them, and submitted it to the

authorities. They are planning collective action on some of these issues.

Motivated by the initiatives of the SMC and members of the local community, along with the

success of the learning support classes being run under LAMP, school teachers have started visiting

absentee children’s home and motivating parents not to engage children in household or

agriculture work during school hours. All 107 children aged 6–14 years in this village are now

enrolled in the school. During follow up of students’ attendance by head counting in December

2012 and January 2013, 93 per cent children were found present in school. Now one can witness

school teachers seriously engaging in classroom transaction during teaching hours. Teachers are

also enjoying this change in the situation along with the children and the local community.

Jarelpadar is a migration prone village. Jarelpadar SMC is one among the 85 SMCs which sent a

proposal to Education Secretary for opening of seasonal hostels for children belonging to migrant

families. Even they placed a proposal for hostel in their School Development Plan. Now a seasonal

hostel is running in the school, and 23 boys and 20 girls from migrant families are residing in it.

14

This village became a child migration free village this year. No child has to leave school due to

migration.

3. SMC’s Activism Ensure Teachers Being Punctual to School

Teachers usually came late to the primary and upper primary schools in Tanwat, a village 5 kms

from the district headquarter of Nuapada in Odisha. Although the schools were located quite close

to the district headquarter, education was the most neglected in this village. Teachers of the upper

primary school were not punctual in coming to school.

During the RTE campaign organized to mobilize community on issues of child rights and familiarize

them with the key provisions in the RTE Act, a village meeting was organized on September 12,

2011. Parents of children, along with the SMC members, the SHG members, youth and PRI

representatives, attended this meeting.

They understood that quality education is a right of their children and the SMC constituted from

among them have important roles and responsibilities in ensuring their children’s rights. The SMC

made a request to the teachers for coming punctually, but the teachers’ did not heed their request.

Finally, after nearly a month, the SMC Chairman, along with other members, locked the main gate

of the school when they found teachers were absent until 10.30 a.m. Teachers came and were

surprised to find the gate locked. They had to wait outside the entire day. The next day, the

teachers came on time and they continue to do so till date.

Teachers coming late to schools is a very common practice in this tribal dominated district. The

SMC of the Godfula school, covered under LAMP intervention, initially tried a dialogue with the

teachers to ensure their timely attendance at school.

When they realized that dialogue and persuation was not bearing any result, the SMC passed a

resolution in its meeting against the late coming of teachers and they jointly visited the District

Inspector (DI) of schools. They submitted a written application requesting DI’s intervention in this

matter. The DI summoned all the teachers and issued a warning. Now teachers are reaching school

on time. Thus, the SMC succeeded in their first attempt towards school reforms.
