community around (smallholder agriculture)

women farmer about C-DAP and RKVY. So, before

we start our intervention, we need to enhance our knowledge and build perception on (smallholder agriculture)

women farmer and it concerning livelihood. With the facilitation ASK capacity building of community has been

done by which communities are coming forward for their rights and entitlement. In accordance to the project

team need we have organized a capacity building training for entire project team. This training has built the

understanding on RKVY and C-DAP, small, marginal and landless farmer’s challenges and ways to tackle the food in

security through collective farming model and registration of women farmer groups. To strengthen the people’s

institutions, we attempt to ensure the regular ASKs meetings around the project objective where community has

the opportunity to interact with panchayat committee members and access the agriculture related information

along with schemes. ASKs are also mobilizing and updating the community for land rights advocacy program and

how their participation will create the pressure to reform the pro-poor policy of Homestead land.

Case Study-1, A Handicapped man used toilet

There is a small village far aware from the Block Fatehpur.

I am Rita Devi wife of Rudru Pandey, from the Village Nimi, Panchayat Nimi of Fatehpur Block. I live in this village

from my birth. I am a very poor and differently baled woman. It was very difficulty for me to go out side for latrine

and for daily morning activity.My husband was finding difficult to manage with me. On the other side family’s

financial situation is very poor because of which it was difficulty for us build to toilet according to my need.

Because of My natural situation I used to dig at home and used for toilet. Because of neighbors’ fight with me

because it was producing bad smell. As I was unable to go outside for toilet I was not able to suggest them

anything.

A Abhiyan was being organized on Safe drinking water and Swachhta in our village by Pragati Grameen

Vikas Samiti with the Support of WaterAid. Where there was formed village committee to look after the water,

Sanitation and Hygiene. I came to know from this meeting that through this organization toilet from govt. is

demanded and built. Through this meeting I shared my situation to the Organization. This organization considered

my situation and built Handicapped toilet at my home.

As toilet was built my family as well as I am very happy and now I feel that struggling days are gone and they are

past. Now we are creating awareness program in our village and mobilize people to build toilets at the Individual

House Hold level. Thus I sincerely thank the organization and its members on behalf of my family and my village.

The year 2014 was very learning point in the rural field and at the same time was a time of many challenges to

work in the field.

4.Right to homestead land & Health

In this current year PGVS has worked very hard and achieved its set target to some extent .The achievements are

below given in points like:-

During this year, Block level cadre orientation training conducted in all 15th blocks. In which 899 CBO member

have participeted; and 9 govt. officials, 16 Service provider, 25 media persons,37 PRI members,123 community

members and 24 CSO member were present. In the training they got information and enhance capacity to access

their rights regarding homestead land right, RSBY, Social security schemes, They also learnt about MNREGA, social

security schemes and act regarding SC ST Act , land rights forest rights woman rights also .

PGVS Empanelled hospital visit and organised three hospital awareness programme at block level with help of

CHARM. Through this programme Community CBO leaders became well aware about hospitalization process,

duties of hospital and advantage of RSBY. Because of this programme, mostly BPL cardholder/ beneficiaries

enrolled themselves under RSBY scheme and enhanced the rate of enrolment of smart card.

In land rights theme, we organised a post card campaign through Aajivika sahayata Kendra. In this campaign, 1853

homeless family (1616 female and male 237) sent post card to the Prime minister of India for right to homestead

land Act. Matter of mail was “Apne wada kiya tha ki bhumihino ke liye awasiye bhumi kanun lekar aayenge, hame

iska intejaar hai”.

We organised campaigns for fill up of applications demanding Wasgeet slip (Parwana). In these campaigns, 6949

homeless families filled up these applications.

We organized 6679 meetings of CBUs (3195 Bhu Adhikar Samiti, 3238 Mahila Samiti and 246-village meeting)

where they could share their land rights issues of social excluded communities, and they shared health related

programme such as JSY, RSBY, immunization programme and other social program.

PGVS has organized 5 district level action programme. The govt authorities were not active to take quick steps

regarding the people’s problem. Through this warning rally, Dharana, public meeting the govt authorities were

forced to take quick and immediate action about the people’s problem and needs. Now the govt officials are active

and accountable to the civil society.

We have organized two District level public hearing. These public hearing is to gather people to understand their

problems and raise their voices against exploitation. Through these hearings, applications and written grievances

were collected by the organization and submitted to the concerned officials. All these petitions pertain mainly to

Revenue land Women and Health related schemes including corruption and malpractices. This document has

become evident for further assurance instrument.

We have organized state level coordination meetings as decided. In this meeting attended Field Coordinator,

District coordinator, Programme manager and monitoring and documentation officer to frequently review the

progress and update as well as accomplish the planning for the next month.

We have filled two RTI application forms for land related issues and the status of application, which submitted for

land and homestead land.

There are 8 Ajivika Sahayta Kendra, these centres functioning of the whole organization and project since daily

operation closer to the ground and such centres more accessible to the community people. Ajivika Sahayta Kendra

identified the potential for income generation and group livelihood activities and identified eligible beneficiaries.

Through ASK there is found so many livelihood benefit and support.

With the help of PGVS field workers Ramji Das and Rajesh Paswan 26 acre of land was used for collective farming

by village people of Jaigiri, block- gauwariya dist-Gaya.

12 discrimination cases and 8 cases be taken into consideration, We have organized 5 social audits, in this audit we

identified the problem of village and work which is done by administration.

These achievements could putinto category wise like quantative and qualitative

Qualitative achievements

Quantitative achievements

Many people filed RTI on their application

5.MGNREGA has lot of potential in terms of providing livelihood security of the poor households especially in

context of Bihar. Participation of women in MGNREGA can be more than man as man migrates for better work

opportunity but women are dependent for their livelihood at local level. Women from excluded communities,

especially the dalits women largely work as agricultural labour and paid very minimum of wages. One of the

reasons for low participation of women in MGNREGA is the environment at work site. MGNREGA provisioned for

work site facilities for women but it’s hardly implemented. Hence MGNREGA is not succeeding in providing the

livelihood security to scheduled caste house hold the way it can provide. MGNREGA campaign started in July 2012

mobilised work demand in large number including in the Jehanabad district. But the gram panchayat and block

programme officers were not able to provide the work. PACS with support from district administration facilitated

social audit in the district. The experiences suggest that lot of capacity building and sensitisation in required to

improve the MGNREGA implementation.

The district administration based on the report PACS submitted under MGNREGA campaign started to pilot for

increase women participation in MGNREGA. Six Maha Dalit Tola’s identified and results have been exciting as well

as challenging. The district administration realised the fact that civil society organisations can help in building the

capacity at local level and upscale the pilot in big way. Therefore, district administration reached out to PACS and

requested PACS to undertake the capacity building community based organisation. To identify women primarily

from Dalit community, trained them as mate and mobilise work demand through CBOs.

Pragati is working in the district under PACS programme of health and land rights issues. Looking at the

opportunity, PGVS decided to take this opportunity along with the other PACS partner CSOs working in the district

to work on strengthening the women participation in MGNREGA through preparing pool of women mates and

building capacity of PRIs. This will lead to the following: (a) Prepare pool of resource in terms of women mate and

women leaders for engendering MGNREGA (b) Sensitisation of PRIs and officials to respond to the need of the

women and socially excluded communities in the district. The above will not only enhance to participation but also

increase the average number of days of work under MGNREGA. This will also strengthen the grievance redressed

process in the district.

MGNREGA seeks women participation which can

only be possible by creating conducing

environment for women at worksites. Having

women mate in the village supported by a SHG

and community based organisations. The

proposed plan created a pool of women mate at

least 40 in each of 93 gram panchayats.

Mile stones:

We are selected 88 volunteers for

IPPE and 1000 women mates.

IPPE (Intensive Participatory Planning Exercise)

Over the last few weeks the PACS team together with PGVS (Pragati Grameen Vikas Yojana) has been busy working with district and block level government officials under IPPE Programme in Bihar. It worked in the Block Makhdumpur Jehanabad. DM advised the team to take over total block and work together with PRIs. Thus we took all the Panchayats of Makhdumpur block implemented the IPPE exercise effectively.

Objectives of IPPE

MGNREGA (the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) is a government employment scheme that guarantees rural households 100 days of paid work every year doing unskilled manual labour.

Under the Act every Gram Panchayat (village council) should have an annual plan that includes enough money to pay every MGNREGA-registered family, a list of all the projects that need to be carried out in the community along with project plans.

The planning process is an opportunity for community members to identify projects or issues that they think need addressing. For example, building new wells, repairing roads or irrigating farmland.

Activities done

Mobilization of village people

Mobilization of

Propaganda of IPPE

Social and resource mapping

Helping PRI in door to door survey

Our main focus at the grass root level Ensuring participation for good planning Use of simple planning tools is the key. Existing Resource Mapping with focus on Water, Agriculture & Infrastructure Social Mapping with focus on Seasonality & Vulnerability Validation through community participation Work Planning for the future

Monitoring of the exercise or programme All the staffs from PGVS were sent to different Panchayats for monitoring. They visited villages and wards and motivated people to participate in the IPPE. They visited each family door to door and distributed people the pamphlets related to IPPE and propagated. They motivated the volunteers and encouraged them to work. But it was found that the volunteers were not able to motivate and make understand the main of IPPE. Thus the staffs found difficulty to monitor properly in the initial stage. It is also found that the volunteers also stopped to work

and it was difficult to find and change volunteer. Volunteers were advised to take photo graph of the work done properly. But it was found that the volunteers were found could not do so because of insufficient and unavailability of resources to carry out the activity. The we used to visit for monitoring but while we go from one panchayat to another panchayat most of the time the ward sabahas got completed. Thus it was very difficult to visit all the Panchayats. And when we miss reaching the panchayat it was found that ward sabha was not properly done. in spite of these difficulties we tried to reach the pachayats as much as possible and its evidence collected from each ward. 6.Education campaign in Gaya with support of Save the Children PGVS done several activities during this year:-
