Empowering women and children to realize their potential with dignity

Staff of SSMI

The Swami Sivananda Institute of Fine Arts and Crafts established in 1964 by Smt. K.

Varalakshmi Rao, is located on a four acre campus in Punjabi Bagh West Delhi. It is a secular not for profit Institute. The Institute is not affiliated to any religion, sect or political order.

The operating philosophy of SSMI is: “While private initiatives can set up centers of excellence,

outreach and scale-up is possible only through Government schemes”

Varalaksmi Memorial Lecture 20th Nov. 2013 Mr. Mani Shankar Aiyar Member of Rajya Sabha and former Minister Govt. of India delivered the First Varalakshmi Memorial Lecture.

“Tracing inclusive growth since independence”

Varalakshmi Center for Women’s Empowerment

In keeping with the founding principles of SSMI, the center’s main emphasis is on creating livelihood for women. Be it production of supplementary nutrition, mid-day meal, fabrication of garments - all processes are translated into generating employment for women.

Income generation schemes require sustainability, quality assurance and marketable products.

Training and capacity building is oriented towards employable skill development. For its textile and food products, SSMI has launched a brand “SUBHA – a new dawn for women”

ICDS Supplementary Nutrition programme Supplementary Nutrition is provided under ICDS to 30,000 beneficiaries (Children below 6,

pregnant women and lactating mothers) in Jahangirpuri, Madipur and Nawada. Supplementary nutrition consists of:

Hot cooked food for children in the age group 6 months to 6 years; pregnant and lactating women and adolescent girls.

Weaning food for children below the age of 6 months. SSMI believes that the central sector nutrition schemes should not be operationalized as catering programme. Instead they should be “women’s empowerment for child welfare” programmes. In keeping with the letter and spirit if the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s order that states: “ICDS funds shall be spent by making use of village communities, self-help groups and

Mahila Mandals for buying of grains and preparation of meals.” {Order dated 7/10/2004 [CWP no. 176/2001 (Point No. 3)}. Though this order was specific to ICDS, SSMI advocates that the

spirit of the order should also inform MDMS.

Since July 2006 SSMI, in partnership with the Govt. of NCT of Delhi, is operating the supplementary nutrition programme under the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) at

Jahangirpuri. Two years ago, Nawada and Madipur projects were added.

Emerging associations- some lessons

1. Physical facilities are a necessary but not sufficient condition for ensuring quality of education.

2. Availability and use of Learning and play materials is essential for ECE curriculum. 3. Focus on classroom management and organization emerges as a key input for

appropriate curriculum. 4. Close interdependence and association exists between and among various activities.

5. Developmental domains, indicate the value of an activity based approach Major areas of focus of the School Management

1. Nationally developed quality standards and curriculum framework needs to be

contextualised in content to address the diversity in the country. However, it should reflect some non-negotiable criterions related to physical facilities, play and learning materials and principles of curriculum development and profile and training of the teacher.

2. The curriculum requirements need to be identified for each sub stage from 3 to 6 years; 6 to 8 years and 8 to 14 years with clarity so as to make it meaningfully aligned to the developmental needs and characteristics of children at each sub stage of development.

3. The project points to the need to ensure an exclusive teacher for ECE who has a good understanding of ECE and the required skills and attitudes and can devote time to plan

the curriculum, organization and management of the class in accordance with the curricular priorities, keeping in mind the age and development appropriateness of the

activities.

4. The training of teachers should be comprehensive and intensive.

5. A major lesson learnt from the practices is that one shot training is not expected to lead to much gain in terms of systemic reform. The key to good practices is a system of

regular onsite support and mentoring, rather than mere monitoring. 6. There is a need to have a more focused and comprehensive approach towards parent

and community awareness and a system built into each programme of involving parents and /or community.

7. The project highlights the issue of special needs and the number of children requiring support help.

8. This year’s finding reveals that a revisit to the curriculum is required for children studying in government schools. A 28% children per class room require assistance from the special educators.

WHY? WHY? do children UNDER-PERFORM or have BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS

SSMI is investigating this question with an

interdisciplinary team:

Child psychologist

Pediatrician

Education Counselor

Because we believe there is no “NALAYAK” child

The Nirmala Gopalakrishnan Center for Health Care operates the following Comprehensive eye care - in collaboration with the Dr. Rajinder Prasad Center for

Ophthalmic Sciences, AIIMS and the Vision for All (a Switzerland based organization of ophthalmologists)

4. Volunteer training programmes and health education events were regularly organized.

The volunteers were trained in primary eye care by the experts from R.P.Centre. 663 volunteers were trained during the project period (2010 to 2014) in 47 volunteer

training events. The volunteers were selected from the local community and they helped in awareness generation and publicity of the camps.

5. Regular Eye Health Education events in the community. IEC material in form of pamphlets and posters developed and utilized for creating eye healthawareness.

6. Camps were conducted in different slum clusters during the project period. The

activities in the camps involved vision screening of the beneficiaries, examination by ophthalmologists, refraction by trained optometrists, free medicines and provision of

good quality, subsidized spectacles to the patients in the camps. A total of 21,892 patients were examined in the phase I of the project.

7. The patients are referred to Dr. R.P. centre for further management of ocular diseases. Free cataract surgery was arranged for all the patients referred through the camps.

8. The team from R.P.Centre was also involved in screening school children for ocular ailments specially related to refractive error. The Government of India recommends

regular screening of school children for refractive error with the support of school teachers. Subsidized spectacles were arranged for the children identified with refractive

errors.

During the current financial year special camps for Diabetic Retinopathy were held. Diabetic retinopathy is identified as a major cause of irreversible visual impairment and blindness. Blindness due to diabetic retinopathy can be avoided if proper screening of diabetics is

conducted and early detection and timely therapy is instituted.

Community level volunteers were trained in identification of known diabetic patients . They

referred the patients to the DR screening camps. Free investigations (in the form of fundus fluoresce in angiography, Nine field fundus stereo photography, OCT) & treatment (intra-vitreal

injections, lasers, vitreo-retinal surgery) is being arranged by R.P.Centre for the referred cases of DR. The strategy seems to be very effective and we propose that similar DR camps should be

conducted on a larger scale in all parts of Delhi during future years.
