The Collective was initiated in 1990 with an ex-periment in regeneration of a piece of degradedland which was named TimbaktuTimbaktuTimbaktuTimbaktuTimbaktu. From being abarren land 20 years ago, Timbaktu is now a bud-ding agroforset habitat which also houses a resi-dential alternative school.

The Collective envisions that ‘rural communitiestake control of their own lives, govern themselvesand live in social and gender harmony while main-taining a sustainable lifestyle’.

Its mission is ‘to enable marginalised rural people,landless labourers, and small and marginal farm-ers particularly women, children, youth, dalits andthe disabled, to enhance their livelihood re-sources, get organised and work towards socialjustice and gender equity and lead life in a meaningful and joyous manner”. The values dear to the Collective are celebra-tion of life, gender equity, faith in people and in their wisdom and excellence.

Initiated in 1992, ‘Chigur‘Chigur‘Chigur‘Chigur‘Chiguru’u’u’u’u’ meaning 'new blos-som' is the Collective’s work with children. Chigurustarted with running alternative learning centresfor rural disadvantaged/drop out children, enablingthem to enjoy childhood. In course of time, otherinitiatives were added like Children’s ResourceCentre (CRC), children’s sanghas or forums underthe name 'Mogga' (bud) and ‘Back to basics’ aninitiative to support slow learners. A significantdevelopment this year was that all these initia-tives were converged under Chiguru working group.Besides, ‘Balamilitha’ the initiative for inclusion ofchildren with disabilities was added to Chiguru andsupported by Militha. This enabled Chiguru to re-spond to different sections of children who de-served support.

This year, Timbaktu Badi, the residential alternative learning centre at Timbaktu, had 65 children from difficult family circum-stances studying in class 1 to 7. They are neglected children/orphans from poor households. Prakruti Badi, the day schoolup to class 10 at Chennekotha Palli had 80 children. Of the 8 students who appeared for the class X exams, 5 secured firstdivision and 3 secured second division and of 25 students who took the class 7 exams, 19 students secured first divisionand 6 secured second division. Besides academics, there was much focus on nutrition, health, sports and games, crafts,cultural activities and gardening. This year too they enjoyed the folk dances ‘Chekka Bhajana’, ‘Kolatam’ and ‘ThappetaGoollu’. They also had opportunity to involve in theatre productions like ’Ganga’ a dance drama on water pollution and twoother productions namely ‘Telugu Velugu’ and ‘Manishey Bhasmasurudu’.

With support from Asha for Education, Bangalore, the CRC consolidated its activities including the library, the sciencelaboratory and the facility for training in computers and crafts. CRC supported the Back to Basics project by circulating booksfrom the library. Children from Balamilitha also had the chance to visit and learn at the CRC. In the crafts facility, young girlswho wanted to pursue alternative careers after 10th class learnt painting, fabric work, tailoring and bamboo craft. A few girlslearned all aspects of weaving cotton fabric including setting the looms, spinning the yarn, dyeing and weaving at Bhavaniweaving centre. Dastkar, AP, purchased their products. The CRC also hosted many events like Children’s Day, Sports Day,Science Day etc.

Mogga continued to create spaces for children in their villages to enjoy their childhood and voice their opinions on issuesaffecting them. Currently there are 45 'Balala Sanghas’ with a membership of 1447 children. The sanghas are federated atthe mandal level. All sanghas enthusiastically took up shramadan in their villages like cleaning the drinking water points,removing plastic and cleaning children’s play areas. Environmental Education is a key to the sangha activities. Six seeddibbling/planting camps were taken up this year. A 10 day environment camp was also conducted at Timbaktu in which 47girls and 37 boys participated. During the summer months children in 12 villages collected donations to run ‘Chalivendrams’(free drinking water points).

This year ‘Chinnari Nestam’, the children’s monthly news letter celebrated its first anniversary and came out with an annualreport showcasing the work of children’s associations and their progress in the last year with colourful photos, pictures,jokes, stories and drawings. A workshop on developing modules for leaders of Child associations was conducted inSeptember by UNICEF at Timbaktu. Based on the learning, a 10 day camp was conducted for leaders of children’s sanghas.

Back to Basics is an effective quality improvement intervention for slow learners. The 1st phase started with child competencyassessment for 3,241 children in 100 schools to assess their levels in reading, writing and arithmetic. Only 8.64% i.e. 280

children out of 3,241 could pass the tests. 63volunteers were appointed to conduct remedialclasses in the schools. They were trained in al-ternative teaching methods and were given simpleand low cost teaching learning materials. 2,050children attended these classes till October 2009.In October 2009, a reassessment was conducted.The results were very encouraging. Of the 2,008children assessed, 29% of children i.e. 582passed in all competencies combined. The 2nd

phase of the programme was initiated in January2010, to cover 50 schools assessed as low gradeschools by the Department of Education.

Balamilitha programme, added to Chiguru thisyear, aims to promote a culture of inclusion ofchildren with disabilities in family, community and in the mainstream education system. This year 166 children were sup-ported by a 5 member team through activities of daily living skills and pre-school education, speech-therapy and physio-therapy. Three medical camps were held to identify children to be referred for surgeries/aids. Two occupational therapystudents, Jamie and Lisa from Sydney University, Australia worked with 105 children with intellectual impairment andcerebral palsy. They also trained the team members in body movement, range of motion exercises, stretching, occupational-therapy and physiotherapy.

Children’s Day was celebrated with lots of fun and enthusiasm. November20th was celebrated as the child right’s day at all the mandal head quarterswith huge rallies by children creating awareness on the rights of childrenusing placards and banners. Children also participated in the ‘Red HandCampaign’ in February 2010, to protest against the use of child soldiers. TheChiguru working group attended a training on child rights, facilitated by Mr.Thomas Jayaraj and resource team from Centre for Child Rights and Develop-ment (CCRD), Chennai. A team of 13 members from Chiguru went for an 8-day exposure visit to CSED, Sakthi Vidiyal and HEAL NGOs working in Tamilnadu.The 7th Learning network conference was held at Timbaktu from 4-7 of Feb2010. Most of the members of Chiguru participated in various sessions held.

Bablu, the Chairperson of the collective, visited various chapters of Asha forEducation in USA during May-June 2009. As part of this visit, he attended theBiennial Asha Conference hosted by the Dallas chapter. He also delivered akeynote address in the Asha London Chapter on his way back from US.

Being a PhD holder in Power Systems from IIT-Powai, it was Subba Raju’s passion to work withthe underprivileged children that led him to join Timbaktu Collective as a volunteer for Chiguruprogramme in 1993. After volunteering for initial four years, he took over the responsibility ofcoordinating the Chiguru programme, demonstrating models of alternative learning. He hasdone exemplary work during this period including the development of alternative learningcurriculum for these schools and training the team. He was also instrumental in setting up theChildren Resource Centre in Chennekothapalli. This year Subba decided to move out of thecoordination role to develop and take forward an e-magazine initiative for children, named‘Kottapalli’ while continuing to volunteer with the schools. The Collective wishes him the verybest in all his future endeavours.

SwasakthiSwasakthiSwasakthiSwasakthiSwasakthi emerged from the Collective’s un-derstanding that women enjoy secondary sta-tus in today’s society, just by the fact that theywere born as women. The rural marginalizedwomen have lesser opportunities, economic selfreliance, land holdings, assets, skills, income,information, education and mobility. Besides,they face complex social issues. The averagedemographic ratio in the working area of theCollective is 946 female per 1000 male.

Initiated in 1992, Swasakthi strives for empow-erment of rural marginalised women. Under thisthree Mutually Aided Thrift Cooperatives (MATCS)were promoted. Since December 2006, thesecooperatives have been running autonomously.During this year, over 1,600 women joined the3 Cooperatives. The membership at the end of March 2010 rose to 12,638 as against 11,007 in March 2009 and theturnover went up from Rs 4.76 crores to Rs 5.38 crores. Loans worth Rs. 4.78 crores were disbursed among 6,588members, the utilization details are given in the table below. The loans taken ranges from Rs. 500 to Rs.40,000. This hascreated a simple avenue for the women members to avail loans and enhance livelihood options. Due to its structuralefficiency, the repayment is ensured with meager percentage of defaulters. This year, the three Cooperatives togetherrecorded 96% loan recovery. This also reflects the increased ownership among the members and the trained leadership.

Leaders of the village based groups met on a quarterly basis and there were 6 network meetings among the threeCooperatives. All the three Cooperatives conducted their Mahasabha (AGM) with over 3,000 members/brundam (sub-group) leaders participating to approve the annual reports and audits of the cooperatives. 61 members received aroundRs. 1.80 lakhs under various welfare measures. 6,480 members joined a new insurance scheme that was introduced thisyear.

Besides, the cooperatives continued supporting their members in legal rights through their legal aid and counselingcentres. The last of the legal-rights-training sessions by Human and Institutional Development Forum (HIDF), Bangalore,for skill enhancement of the CEOs and directors of the Cooperatives was conducted. A legal camp was organised to createpublic awareness on domestic violence and related issues with the Dharmavaram Civil Judge and other lawyers participating.The legal aid centre run by Adisakthi MATCS registered 92 cases this year. Ms. M. Sireesha continued to be the legal advisorfor cooperatives.

Women’s day celebration was organized on March 8th in Ramagiri Mandal. Ms.Anita Ramachandran, District Joint Collector,Ms.Devi, Convenor of Praja Natya Mandali, Hyderabad andMs.Chinmaya Devi, an official from the district ICDS office,were invited to share their views on women rights and thenew spheres to be explored. As a remarkable achievement,Adisakthi MATCS completed the construction of their ownoffice building. The office space was inaugurated by Ms. SashiRajagopalan who also conducted a strategic planning work-shop with the Cooperatives.

The whole initiative is indeed bringing a great deal of im-provement in the lives of rural women in these mandals.One among them, Boggu Gangamma's testimony in thebox approves that.

I will not live in fear

of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days,

to allow my living to open me,

“I am Boggu Gangamma from CK palli village. I used towork as a daily wage labourer before. In 1998, I joinedKollapuramma Sangha. I started saving and that enabledme to avail loans at low interest. With the loan I purchasedsome small ruminants, maintained them and then soldout later to earn little profits. In this process, the loanamount increased and also the number of ruminants. Ipurchase 30 to 40 sheep at a time and sell them forhigher profits. At present I own 50 sheep and have earnedan amount of Rs.2 Lakhs so far. I have given up the dailywage labour and am looking after my sheep. I am no moredependent on others and have cleared all my debts. Itsnot just me, the cooperative has changed the lives ofmany more women in this area. We are all grateful to thecooperative”

Sashi RajagopalanSashi RajagopalanSashi RajagopalanSashi RajagopalanSashi Rajagopalan“I Love it when I see a good cooperative having seen somany bad ones, and I was very impressed by the goodwork that you have been doing among the thrift coopera-tives. These are sustainable cooperatives which will have alife beyond you and that is what makes your inputs intothese so special. In particular, the fact that you have trained,the women to think for themselves, was particularly strik-ing. I truly enjoyed working with them, as them, as alsowith the men, who took the entire exercise seriously”

This year MilithaMilithaMilithaMilithaMilitha, t, t, t, t, the Collective’s programmeon Disability rights, completed 8 years. The aimof Militha is to organise people with disabilities(PWD) to promote and protect their rights. To-wards this, PWDs/care givers are encouraged toform cross disability self advocacy groups(CDSAGs) which have been federated at mandallevel and centrally registered as Prathibha mu-tually aided cooperative society (Prathibha). Sofar 73 CDSAGs have been promoted with 888members. The members have pooled togetherabout Rs. 7.50 lakhs as savings and have ac-cessed over Rs. 24.80 lakhs as loans from banks/Village Organisations (VOs). Prathibha has sup-ported 186 members to enlist under NREGA.So far Prathibha has helped 465 members avail

disability certificates, 520 members with bus passes, 736 members with train passes and 778 members with pensions.

The highlight of this year is that Prathibha received a grant from the Disability Rights Fund (DRF) with fiscal and legalsupport from the Collective to actively enable the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons withDisability (UNCRPD). Under this project, Prathibha promoted a cross disability district federation of 28,000 PWD from 58mandals. This is the first federation of its kind in this region.

Currently, Prathibha is developing a value based legal literacy method for facilitating CDSAGs and is in the process ofproducing a citizen’s report on children of school going age including children with disabilities, the first of its kind in theregion. Prathibha celebrated international day of persons with disability on its own and raised Rs. 0.58 lakhs towards this.

Inclusion of PWD has become a common practice in the work of the Collective. The women’s cooperatives have 188 memberswith disabilities and the children’s sanghas have brought in 43 children with disabilities. The Back to Basics programme forslow learners has 35 children with disabilities out of 1,455 and the Dharani cooperative includes 41 families with memberswith disabilities.

The KalpavalliKalpavalliKalpavalliKalpavalliKalpavalli programme evolved as an organicextension of the Timbaktu experiment in eco-resto-ration through natural regeneration. It has twin aimsof helping the people to protect and regeneratethe natural resources of the village and helping thepoor enhance their livelihoods. Under this about7000 acres of common lands (revenue waste land)have been protected and regenerated into a thriv-ing wilderness, by the people of 8 villages. The ba-sic forums involved in this work are Vana SamrakshanaCommittees (Forest Protection Committees-VSCs)which were federated and registered as the KalpavalliMutually Aided Tree Growers Cooperative in 2008 witha membership of 1969.

The Annual General Body Meeting of Kalpavalli was held on June 5th in Chennekothapalli. The directors of the KalpavalliMACS met 9 times this year to review and plan the work, for budget monitoring and also to take decisions on importantissues concerning the work at Kalpavalli. They also discussed and initiated a business enterprise to produce neem powderused for organic farming. The VSCs plan and implement the activities like seed dibbling, fire breaks, plantation and trench-ing besides different activities taken up under the state government initiative to develop Common Property Resources(CPR). Trainings on soil and water conservation and economic uses of forest products were conducted in this year benefit-ing 290 members. An exposure visit to Foundation for Ecological Security (FES), Madanapalli was organised for thedirectors and the team members to learn more from their Natural Resource Management (NRM) strategies. This year 84kms of firebreak lines were made in Kalpavalli generating 3,270 workdays. 29 seed dibbling camps were conducted with1160 members participating, during May-Aug'09. Over 1200 kgs of seeds of 20 tree varieties were dibbled. They alsocollected about 1,560 kgs of seeds from 22 varieties, which were used in the seed dibbling camps. Under the Soil MoistureConservation works, 9 new farm ponds were constructed along with 2 Rock Filled Dams. Area demarcation works werecontinued and 10 name boards and 398 boundary marks were made anew. Many old boards were also repainted.

This year, Kalpavalli took up the CPR programme worth Rs.1.82 crores generating about 1.82 lakh labour days. The worksincluded soil and moisture conservation, continued contour trenches, stone bunds, farm ponds, mini percolation tanks,percolation tanks and rock filled dams. The programme increased the people’s awareness of activities taken up underNREGA. Besides many other visitors, the Project Director of DWMA, Anantapur, visited the site with his team members to seethis work. Kalpavalli also was instrumental in directly supporting livelihoods of 400 familes this year - 240 families earnedRs.18,000 each in 4 months by collecting grass, making and selling brooms and 160 families earned Rs.16,500 each in 3months, by collecting and selling date palm fruits. There were also the basket and mat makers and the shepherds whobenefited. The long term effort by the Kalpavalli programme has made the Kogira stream perennial and increased theground water level in the surrounding 8 villages. This also led to initiate an important experiment this year, wherein over400 acres of paddy was grown under the Mustikovila tank using half the water usually used, with effective water sharing andmanagement.

Four watersheds are being developed under this initiative in Beedupalli, Marakuntapalli, Julakuntaand Mottuvaripalli villages. In these villages, watershed committees have been constituted to plan and carry out differentworks, such as selection of farmers’ field, plantation on bunds and construction of earthen bunding, stone bunding, farmponds and rock filled dams etc. One third of the committee members are women. The committees also maintain a SocialAudit Board, where the monthly statements of receipts and payments along with the available balance are displayed. Twoengineers and an agronomist support this initiative. The works are planned and reviewed on a monthly basis.

Timbaktu Organic - Timbaktu Organic - Timbaktu Organic - Timbaktu Organic - Timbaktu Organic - Food for the SoulFood for the SoulFood for the SoulFood for the SoulFood for the Soul

The organic farming programme that began as asmall experiment, “Seeds of Hope”, in 1998/99, with support from Asha for Education, hascome a long way. It is slowly but steadily settingthe standards for a larger organic farming move-ment in the district.

In September 2005, with support from Sir DorabjiTata Trust (SDTT), the Collective initiated a projectto promote organic farming among 350 farm-ers. The project was completed in August 2009and Mr. Balasubramanian from Centre for IndianKnowledge Systems, Chennai, in his evaluationreport opined, “The first phase of project imple-mentation makes a strong case for strengthen-ing this programme and taking it to the secondphase.” This has prompted SDTT to continue

their support through the second phase that will start in April 2010 to cover another 300 farmers.

Meanwhile, in January 2008, a five year project was launched, with support from Evangelische Zentralstelle für Entwicklungshilfee.V. (EED) and the European Union, to expand this work among another 540 farmers. This project added a new dimension,by helping the participating farmers purchase and breed a local variety of cow known as “Halikar”, a dual purpose animal -one of the essentials in sustainable non-chemical farming. So far 474 pairs of cows have been purchased along with somebulls for further breeding. During 2009/10 these cows began to give calves and it is assessed that during 2010/11, if oneis to calculate investment vs returns, the animals will have paid back almost the whole investment within two years - milk,dung, urine, draught, calves, etc.

With funds from both these projects a marketing team was put in place. This was complemented by capital raised fromindividual investors (“Friends of Timbaktu” and other collaborators) as interest bearing and non-interest bearing loans.The total funds raised from individual investors were invested in the development of the basic infrastructure necessary toset up a storage and processing unit. In April 2008, a producer owned co-operative (Dharani FaM Co-operative Ltd) wasregistered to carry out the processing and marketing activities with all the original 350 farmers as members and sharehold-ers. During 2009/10 another 540 farmers joined Dharani FaM Co-operative Ltd. As a result, a total of 890 farming familiesare now growing organic food on 2,670 acres of land. The Dharani processing and marketing unit procures the producefrom the members, process it and markets the products under the brand name “Timbaktu Organic”. Most of the membersare certified organic producers.

The farming team of the Collective has been trained to conduct Farmer Field Schools (FFS) by AME Foundation, Bangalore.The main objective of FFS is to empower the farmers to take up economic decisions by adopting practices of IntegratedCrop Management (ICM). FFS is conducted from sowing to harvest of the crop, so that the farmers can observe and analyzethe dynamics of crop ecology across the season. This year a total of 118 FFS sessions were conducted in 26 villages. A fieldday at each mandal level was also conducted to facilitate all the farmers to share their experiences, experiments andknowledge. As a visible example of all the recommended organic practices and to act as a learning space for the organicfarmers and production team members, two demoplots are being maintained under this programme.

With an aim to document the organic farming initiatives in the villages, Dr. Suresh Reddy of Centre for Economic and SocialStudies (Hyderabad) spearheaded a study during April 2009. Findings of this study were published as a monograph inJanuary 2010.

We own 5 acres of land and havebeen farming for the last 35 years. We had initial profitable years when we started groundnut farming before 20 years. Due tocontinuous monocropping of groundnut, the yield in our field started declining year after year, though we had been investingmore every year on chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Soon the scenario changed and we started getting mixed results of profitand loss. It is at this juncture in 2008, we joined one of the farmer sanghas promoted by Timbaktu Collective. We attendedtrainings and understood how chemical agriculture is affecting our crop yields, incomes and health. We also learnt varioustechniques in organic farming and committed ourselves to practice it in 3 acres – grow crops on 2 acres and develop Horticulturein one acre. The Timbaktu people gave us training in crop diversity and in the last season we have sown Foxtail millet in one acreand groundnut in another acre. We also put red gram as intercrop in the field. Millet cultivation has reduced the pests not only inthe millet field but also in the surrounding groundnut fields. The cost of cultivation has reduced this year by Rs. 2000 per acre ascost of seed, chemical pesticides and fertilizers were saved. The yield in Foxtail millet was 300 kgs, part of which we have kept forour family consumption after processing it in Dharani processing unit. We also got a net profit of Rs. 4,815 in the last season,though the season as a whole was a failure due to lack of rain fall. The fertility of our land has improved. We are very much satisfiedwith this organic farming and will continue following it’

The RSRL Project extends its support to 270 landless labour families to provide them with alternate livelihood options. Theyare formed into sanghas and are provided with an initial capital for purchasing small ruminants. Almost all the families gotthe grant and started gaining profits through rotating the holding of animals. This year, it was planned to federate all thesefamilies as a cooperative, which in the coming years can do business to benefit all the members. The sangha membersincluded savings in their agenda besides contributing towards the share capital for the society. The Gramasiri cooperativesociety was registered on March 31, 2010 and it had Rs.2,66,700 as share capital apart from Rs.1,45,880 of members’savings. A plan to start poultry (nati-hen) business through the cooperative is already under consideration.

CREAMCREAMCREAMCREAMCREAM

The efforts in setting up an organic farming based business enterprise paved way to developing CREAMCREAMCREAMCREAMCREAM (Certificate in RuralEntrepreneurship and Management), a business management course which is relevant, accessible and affordable. The goalof CREAM is to help leadership and staff of NGOs, producer owned business enterprises and entrepreneurs, plan andoperate commercially viable businesses. Its objectives include building a cadre of trained rural business managers, devel-oping a course relevant to rural businesses and ensuring that the target group has access to a training system that isappropriate in terms of costs, language, duration and location.

The programme’s content is the result of collective thinking of a group of business management and development profes-sionals with first-hand experience, either as managers or volunteers, with a wide variety of rural development interventionsacross India. The first phase of the programme spans over two years and involves development of the CREAM concept,delivery of the course at 3 different locations across the country, and review and consolidation of the CREAM concept basedon the learning and feedback from the course delivery. The first pilot was implemented in Timbaktu between June-December2009, having participants from the Collective and two other NGOs in the same region. A second pilot has been finalised andbegan in February 2010 with Kudumbasree, Trivandrum.

Based on the idea of ICCO partners coming together as a coalition to work towards a common cause, the E&E coalition wasestablished between eight non-governmental organisations functioning within India and two international NGOs.

The Coalition was established with a purpose of strengthening disadvantaged and excluded communities at the micro &macro levels to access and manage resources and exercise rights in an inclusive, participatory and just manner. Theoverarching theme of the coalition in the first phase (Nov 2009-Dec 2010) is to identify and eradicate all forms ofuntouchability in our organisations & spheres of influence. While the periodic meetings of the coalition was overall forum forthe coalition, Timbaktu Collective acts as the legal-holder of this proposed first phase of the programme.

The directors of the women’s cooperatives, promoted by the Collective, are keen to contribute to this theme in theirspheres of influence. They have gained inputs on this from exposure visit conducted to Rural Education for DevelopmentSociety (REDS), Tumkur and training conducted by Dalit Foundation.

Unprecedented floods took place in Kurnool andMahboob Nagar districts of A.P in 2009. The Col-lective decided to contribute to the relief efforts.A 5 member team visited the area, assessed re-lief operations and decided to help one smallvillage, Sheripalli, near Alampur which at that time,had not received any relief. They conducted adetailed survey of this village. The Collective thengave a call to the people of the villages it isworking in as well as to the Timbaktu Fraternity.Under the leadership of the various people'sorganisations and suppor ted by TimbaktuPanchayati, mandal teams were organised to col-lect contributions from the villages. The responsewas phenomenal. Within one and a half days, 15tons of rice, 4 quintals each of red gram andtamarind as well as other provisions were col-lected besides cash of Rs. 31,390. The Timbaktu Fraternity contributed Rs. 3.26 lakhs in cash. Mr. Khan contributed Rs 2lakhs. The Timbaktu Panchayati prepared 200 packets each consisting of 75 kgs of rice, 2 kgs of dhal, 2 kgs of groundnutoil, 2 kgs of tamarind, 2 kgs of ground nut podi, 1 kg red chilly powder, one saree, one dhothi, one bedsheet, two towels,etc.

25 members, including 10 from the different cooperatives, traveled 250 kms, to Sheripalli, with the relief material in twotrucks and two jeeps to help in the distribution. The distribution took over 5 hours, but it was methodical and also ensuredthat each family got the basic requirements. A three-member team visited Sheripalli again to review the situation andreported that more relief operations have reached the village both from the state and non-government agencies and thatfurther support from the Collective was not required. So it was decided to carry forward the money left over for future needs.

All the Timbaktu Panchayati members contribute 1% of their basic salary towards Social Welfare Fund (SWF). The SWF wasconstituted in the year 2001 with a main objective to extend financial support for the health needs of the poorest in ourworking area. Since 2001, a total of Rs.2,73,776 has been put aside by the Panchayati members and this has helped in

contributing Rs.2,54,168 to 30 members to meettheir health expenses. The decision to help anyneedy member is taken collectively by all the teammembers during the Panchayati meetings.

Timbaktu Living Blood Bank was formed in the year2003 with 60 Panchayati members stepping in.More than donating blood in camps, the mem-bers of this Living Blood Bank are formed into anetwork and respond to emergency needs.Awareness campaigns on blood donations are alsocarried out as part of this initiative. At presentthere are 560 members in the fold including thecadres, volunteers and youth from all the threemandals.
