From Director’s Desk

This report witnesses the existence of Janakalyan for 17 successful years in the field of development! It is indeed a matter of happiness to make it public on the eve of 18th anniversary of Janakalyan! Like every year, we are releasing the report on 2nd July, the Foundation Day of Janakalyan, with a hope that we will be given more opportunities to serve the target groups in better fashions in the days to come.

During these 17 years, Janakalyan has served its primary target group i.e. the Bengali refugees aiming at their all round development and we now claim that we have brought many tangible and intangible changes in the lives and livelihoods of this primary target groups (please see impact assessment section of this report for details). This journey was not that easy like any other developmental journey. It saw many troughs and crests but Janakalyan did not stop there instead continued with more enthusiasm and efforts, every time it was at the bottom of the pyramid. Many strategies were adopted, many programs were designed, implemented, mistaken, learnt, redesigned, again implemented, assessed, reassessed, and finally we are here today. However, care has always been taken that if not good but our interventions should not harm any of the target groups in any manner. During this journey, we have come up with many innovative models, tested in various contexts, which are the treasure of Janakalyan and could now be replicated in similar context in any part of the country. These innovations could be grouped as 7Es such as Environment (water), Employment (sustainable agriculture), Empowerment (community), Education (rural), Entrepreneurship (rural), Energy (solar) and Ensuring (health) services to all living beings.

The year under reporting is another successful year added to the history of Janakalyan; it has also several milestones that the team crossed over 365 days of the year. More emphasis was on refugee rights like reservation, mother tongue education, land rights, voter rights, etc. in addition to its regular programs viz. Jan Sanghatan (Empowerment), Jan Krishi (Employment), Jan Jal (Environment), Jan Shakti (Energy), Jan Udyog (Entrepreneurship), Jan Shiksha (Education) and Jan Raksha (Ensuring health). It has received 1st ever grant from Government of India for leadership development of minority women, a grant from Indian Council for Social Science Report for a research study, etc. are some new paradigm shift in the organization.

However, it would be wrong on my part if I do not put on record that in terms of funding it was a bad year thought in terms of activities and impacts, it was a memorable year again. In addition, the reserve funds of Janakalyan as well as my personal accumulation was exhausted totally to complete the college building as well as managing the recurring expenditures of college. Further, I had also to avail huge loan against my only residential plot to complete the college building. Now I humbly request the communities, well wishers and donors to come forward to sustain the institute initiated for the benefits of the refugee

children. I strongly believe that these bad days won’t last forever………..

Jan Sanghatan Fight for Rights –

Convinced the High Level Committee to recognize Bengalis as Scheduled Caste in Karnataka

“I failed to secure a medical seat even with 96% score in my +2 examination while my friend from a reserved community is a doctor today with mere 88% marks”, says one of the refugee children of Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project.”

This is how the fight began long back on 26th January 1950 when the Constitution of India was adopted by the Parliament of India. The India’s freedom fight saw its saddest end on 15th August 1947 by dividing the country and its victims were Bengalis and Punjabis as part of their provinces went to newly born country Pakistan. Anticipating the consequences of partition, the aware of higher caste communities took the benefits of exchange of properties and settled themselves in India, especially in West Bengal, Assam, Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Orissa, etc. soon after partition. However, the illiterate rural communities, especially from the lower strata, did not leave their ancestral properties and later became victims of communal riot. In addition, Government of India also sent their central Ministers to Bangladesh to request the Hindu communities to stay back as long as they can; otherwise, the Government of India, having financial constraints, will not be able to rehabilitate the influx of refugees if they arrive at a time: rather they can come to India in phases. With all these assurances, when they started entering Indian borders, the neighboring states were saturated and thus they had to reluctantly get rehabilitated in other parts of the country, one among them is Karnataka. The communities those crossed the border in early 70s are basically from lower strata of the society socially, economically and educationally. They belong to Namasudra, Pod/Poundra and Rajbanshi communities. These are considered as SC in eastern part of the country but not in other parts where they have been forcefully rehabilitated by Government of India. Therefore, even after 67 years after independence, they are still backward as they are deprived off their constitutional benefits. Janakalyan, took this initiative to fight for these communities, soon after its inception, and succeeded to convince the Government of Karnataka to constitute a high level committee headed by Additional Chief Secretary of Karnataka, with 2 Regional Commissioners as member and Commissioner of Social Welfare Department as Member‐Secretary of the committee. Continuous follow up and persuasion could help the committee to meet on 9.12.2013 and a meeting chaired by Sri Siddharamaiah, honorable Chief Minister of Karnataka on 3.1.2014 at his Home Office to consider our appeal. Subsequently, we met the Social Welfare Minister Sri Anjaneya H, District Incharge Minister Sri Sharanaprakash Patil, MLAs, MLCs, MPs and other leaders to get their support for our cause. Further, we also met all the members of the high level committee and the Chief Secretary of Karnataka. The support of Sri Amlan Biswas, IAS, Regional Commissioner of Gulbarga Division should be written in Golden letters. The next historical event in this series was an event at R H Colony No.4 on 27th January 2014 wherein more than 3000 people gathered to honor the Deputy Commissioner address to the communities. He promised that the report on our SC status would be submitted to government within 30 days of the event. We are expecting a favorable decision on this in couple of months and if succeed in this endeavor, a golden era would start for these communities. Janakalyan team is now planning to bring the similar communities of 18 states under the same umbrella to give it a shape of movement for their rights; supports from every social being is solicited for this great cause to address their constitutional deprivation.

Jan Krishi Fight for Survival – Land, the only source of livelihood, needs to be utilized effectively to fulfill family requirements

“The model developed by Janakalyan is extremely useful for farming communities of tail end of irrigation project having small land holding but needs heavy investment and is labor intensive” says the participating farmer.

Farmers at the tail end of Tungabhadra Irrigation Project in Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project are granted with 4‐5 acres of land; land fragmentation over a period of 4 decades have left each family with 1‐2 acres reducing the per capita land availability further. Irrigation has also become inadequate nowadays. Land fertility has gone down to any extent due to usage of chemical‐heavy method of cultivation. High cost of inputs with less productivity made all the farmers defaulters in financial institute over a period of time.

Farmers Technology Transfer Fund (FTTF) is a NABARD supported intervention taken up by Janakalyan to demonstrate a model which could make the farmers self sustainable with the small piece of land that they are having at their disposal. It is nothing but intensified integrate farming system. The objective is to create water harvesting structures in their farms, harvest excess water during rainy season, use it for life saving irrigation during peak season along with fish, trees, compost and vegetables. The project initiated in September 2013 with 5 farmers and has a plan to extend to 5 farmers every year for 3 years. The farmers are trained about the concept of water budgeting, judicious use of water, fish cultivation, vermicompost making, vegetable cultivation, etc. by the experts drawn from Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Raichur.

Jan Jal Fight for Water –

Save Water to Save Earth and the major responsibility is onto the Human Beings

“Water Bank concept of Janakalyan has helped us to enhance productivity in addition to improving the land fertility, especially for us at tail end of irrigation projects of India; it is a proven model today as tested in Tungabhadra as well as Malaprabha Irrigation Projects” says farmers in the result sharing program organized by the farming communities.

Thanks to Deshpande Foundation for supporting the intervention through Give2Asia to test the model in the tail end of Malaprabha Irrigation Project consecutively for 4th year; it was initially tested in the tail end of Tungabhadra Irrigation Project with the support of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Hivos, The Netherlands from 2001 onwards with more than 40 farmers. Today, the farmers from tail end of Tungabhadra Irrigation Project are excavating the Water Bank with their own investment, bank loan or other forms of credit; this proves that the model is economically feasible and therefore the farmers are coming forward to invest on it at their own. With this successful experience, Janakalyan team thought of replicating it in another similar context and thus chose Malaprabha tail end where it has excavated 90 Water Bank since 2010‐11. Tungabhadra Irrigation Project, Raichur District Malaprabha Irrigation Project, Gadag District 2001‐02 2002‐03 2003‐04 2004‐05 Total 2010‐11 2011‐12 2012‐13 2013‐14 Total

6 9 5 21 41 10 27 8 45 90

What is this proven model? The tail end of any irrigation project in India faces a peculiar problem called 2‐extremes of water availability – excess water during rainy season inundating standing crops while inadequate water during peak season drying up of standing crops – depending on the irrigation requirement of upper reach farmers. Janakalyan, for the first time in India, has developed this model and implemented with Bengali farmers rehabilitated in Sindhanur. After successful replication in Malaprabha tail end, Janakalyan now declares it as a feasible proven model for the whole country. One can tell it with confidence based on the following statistics.

Y ear 2010‐11 2011‐12 2012‐13 2013‐14 Project Grant 46% 24% 36% 28%

Farmers’ Contribution 54% 76% 64% 72% We believe that when farmers have come forward to invest up to 76% of the excavation cost, it is a feasible model. The detailed report is published separately for the project activities, strategies, achievements and learning. After successfully implementing it in tail ends of 2 irrigation projects of Karnataka, Janakalyan team is confident to other tail ends of any irrigation projects in India to address the peculiar issue of tail end farmers. We can customize the model based on local/donor requirements to ensure optimum benefits to the farming communities.

Jan Raksha Fight for Hygiene & Sanitation – Education alone can make effective use of toilets with an intervention with hygiene kits

“There are hundreds of toilets not being used due to unhygienic maintenance; it is only after Janakalyan’s intervention with education and hygiene kits, we are now using the toilets. The elderly, the pregnant women need not wait till dark to defecate in open” says the woman of rehabilitation colony.

Phy sical co nstructio n o f to ilets in the rural areas do es not chang e the habit o f the co m m unities; m o st o f these are being used as sto re ro o m s. There are m any reaso ns w hy the to ilets are not being used by them , m ajo r am o ng this being - a) im pro per m aintenance o f the to ilets due to lack o f aw areness, b) unhy g ienic c o nditio n inside the to ilet due to lack o f cleaning ag ents, c ) m o re w ater req uirem ent, d) traditio nal practices, etc. Janakaly an has co nstructed 200 to ilets w ith the suppo rt o f Info sy s F o undatio n in past w hile m otivated m any others to m ake use o f Total Sanitatio n Cam paig n. But realized that educatio n is an essential co m p o nent to m ake these used by the co m m unities in additio n to a starter kit having essential hy g ienic m aterials such as to ilet brush, cleaning ag ent, so ap , deterg ent, buckets, m ug s, bro o m s, etc. W ith the supp o rt o f G iveIndia, it has initiated an interventio n to m otivate and chang e the behavio r o f the rural co m m unities to use to ilet reg ularly . The table furnishes the o utreach o f Janakaly an till date since initiatio n o f the interventio n.

W hile hundreds o f to ilet co nstructed using g o vernm ent g rants are being used differently , the to ilets co nstructed by Janakaly an in its project villag es are used 100% due to the behavio ral chang e co m m unicatio n pro g ram w ith the hy g iene kit supp o rt thro ug h G iveIndia. Janakaly an is sure o f replicating it in o ther parts o f the co untry to o by custo m izing the interventio n based o n the lo cal/do no r req uirem ents.

Jan Shiksha Fight for Post‐metric Education –

Ensure post‐metric education to rural child to avoid child marriage and child labor

“I would have become mother of a child by now like my classmate had there not been Maa Sarada Pre University College started by Janakalyan in the year I had passed my matriculation; today I am perusing my degree education” says one of the passed out girl from the college.

Hundreds o f children have beco m e victim s o f child m arriag e / child labo r since establishm ent o f the Sindhanur Rehabilitatio n Project in 1968 -7 1. All g irls and m o st o f the bo y s are dro pped o ut fro m the educatio n sy stem after co m pleting their m atriculatio n in the lo cal scho o ls due to the fo llo w ing reaso ns- a) The c olleg es are lo c ated only in the c ities (far aw ay from these villag es) b) F inanc ial burden on parents (fees, books, stationary , dress, m ess, etc .) c ) Ac c om m odation problem in the nearby tow ns/c ities (as these c om m unities are not c overed under any

reservation sy stem ) d) Transportation problem from villag e to the nearby tow n/c ities as there are no public c onvey anc e e) Sec urity to the g irls w hen they are aw ay from hom e for educ ation f) G ender disc rim ination – w hy to educ ate a g irl w hen she has to g o aw ay from us?

The result is child m arriag e/child labo r; the co nseq uences are still birth, under-w eig ht birth, m alno urished children, infant m o rtality , m aternal m o rtality , fam ily pro blem s, divo rce, suic ide, etc.

An institute to pro vide po st-m etric educatio n to these children at their do o rstep is initiated by Janakaly an thro ug h M aa Sarada Pre University Co lleg e. The effo rts o f 2 y ears thro ug h this initiative is furnished in the table.

W ith all effo rts, w e co uld succeed to bring in 57 students in the 1st y ear (2012-13) in the po st m etric educatio n w hile it is 39 in the current (2013-14) y ear.

Year of C

onceptualization Year 1998 began with new hopes. The concept of raising income level of the farmer was added with land reclamation (soil

fertility / health management and preserving it for the generations to come). It also worked out for subsidiary sources of income for these communities and found animal husbandry as a viable option; started promoting the same along with agriculture. By the end of the year it realized that raising the income level through its different approaches would not serve the purpose if proper mechanism is not adopted to save the earned income; thus, started promoting Self Help Groups of men and women. And thus the objective of Janakalyan was formulated as “to serve 3 holy mothers i.e. Manavi Mata, Bhoo Mata & Go Mata”. It also started working with children, keeping education as the focal point through ASHA & Child Labor Schools.

Inception

Janakalyan took birth in July 1997 with an objective to assist the refugees & repatriates to raise their income level through intervention in the field of agriculture. It started working with farming communities with its own resources. The strategy adopted to work with these peasant communities was ‘awareness generation’ among the mass about the mistakes that they have already done and the ways to rectify it. Training & exposure were 2 tools adopted to convince these farmers about the proposition that Janakalyan was propagating about organic farming.
