He mentioned two betel vine yard (15 Katha) and used comical and fertilizer. And for this on the betel vine there attacked many problem.

Before starting the vermicomposting unit his income was Rs.-30.00 per day and which was too modest to carry on his 5 member’s family. He was searching an alternative livelihood opportunities which can make a supporting income. When he started to cultivate Betel leaf then he used their hues quantity of inorganic fertilizer and pesticide and for this very soon he frasted for excessive cost and modest return and also in his betel vine yard there attacked multiple diseases. In this time he approached by PUPA and took a training on vermin compost production and supported one pit and 500 worm and started production of vermicompost . After he purchase Mard and Plastic pits (ordinary). Now the number of pit for production of vermin compost on his production house is 2 pits.

Total production of vermin compost- 30 kg to 35 kg per pit per month and total production 100 kg per month.

Cost: - Cost for the production is negligible because cow dung is available on his house from his own cattle, and also no extra labour was engaged here.

Sales: - Monthly production is 100 kg and for this the income is Rs.-800.00 ( Rs.-10/kg). He used it on his own betel vine yard and sometimes he sales it another farmer.

2. A story of transformation (Case Study)

It was September 2012, when PUPA started journey in

Dhaspara Sumitinagar No 1 GP to collectivize and

strengthen the self help groups. Kalimata a SGSY group, belonging to sansad-2. It was

really disappointing, when we saw that they were not serious about their group. The group

meetings were irregular and not concern about their group issues. Specially we observed that

they were not intend to continue their group for some monetary problem. The group accounts

were not updated and they don’t have any updates about their accounts. Moreover they don’t

have any unity and feeling between members. At that situation PUPA organized a meeting

with them to understand their problems. It was come out that the group members were not

happy with their leaders, specially with secretary. But we also discovered that there was some

ray of hope to revitalise this group because some members wanted to restructure their group.

So we started to motivate others members to take lead to reform their group. We started to

follow up this group to motivate and collectivize once again. Some of members lend their

hand and we also provided our support on group dynamics, account management and

leadership building. Now, Kalimata SGSY dal sit together in group meeting under the

leadership of Smt. BakulRani Das to take any decision and accounts also updated. Specially,

they also participated in social issues, like domestic violence. Now group members are very

happy with their new leader and they were started for planning income generation activities.

We have also started to sensitize the members on Income enhancement plan and suggested

idea to start their own business.

It’s not a story of Kalimata SGSY Dal, now it’s the story of Ma Jamuna SGSY (Mayna

Bidya of Sansad-7), Sibsakti SGSY Dal (Mamata patra of sansad-1), Ramkrisna SHG

(Ranu Majhi, Sansad – 6), Annapurna SGSY (Renuka maity of Sansad-6), Ma Manasha

SGSY(Sunita pramanik) dal… are examples of motivated groups at Dhaspara

Afterthe training they received 7varieties of seeds from PUPA’s SC project. They established a small area which was near about 2 kathasfor kitchen garden. Our project staff helped them to prepare land & bed for seedlings. They add vermin-

Subsequently proper irrigation was done by help our project staff. Moreover they used vermin-composing & organic liquid fertilizer. They both spend about three hours each day on the Kitchen Garden. They got about 20 to 25 kg vegetable whose market value is more than Rs.990

Date: 8th March, 2014

Present SHG members:

“I never knew, there

was a day for us!

Women’s day… A day

only for women. Nibedita* informed me that they are organizing a rally on Saturday to

celebrate the women’s day. I saw the rally of political parties, but a rally only for women! I

am very excited to participate in this rally!... I don’t know how we reached Mahendraganj

bazaar from panchayet!... It’s like a dream! Five members from my group also participated

in this rally. I want to merge once again” said Chandana Sardar a member of Matangini

SGSY, at Mahendraganj bazar after finishing the rally of world women’s day organized by

Paribesh Unnayan Parishad (PUPA) at Dhaspara Sumitinagar‐1 GP (DS‐1) on 8th March, 2014.

The rally was started from DS‐1 GP

and ended at Mahendraganj bazar, a

rural market. (* A field facilitator of

PUPA)

The basic objectives of this rally was

to celebrate the respect, appreciation

and love towards women. To

celebrate women’s economic,

political, and social achievements and

arouse within SHG

women a sense of

self‐esteem.

The rally saw participation of near two‐hundred teenage girls, middle‐aged women as well

as old women of SHGs of DS‐1 GP. PUPA is working in DS‐1 GP to uplift the quality of life and

livelihood of the poor, vulnerable and downtrodden people under livelihood development

project of ICZM. In this project we are focusing specially on women groups to collectivize

them for institutional development,

collective initiative in income

generation activities and participation

in infrastructural development including planning and implementation. PUPA has always

tried to involve the women groups in various activities to improve their capacities and build

self esteem among them. Already,

some women groups have

restructured their groups and

selected new leaders to mobilize

other members of the groups.

Various fundamental rights of

women recognized by the Indian

constitution were highlighted in the

rally with various placards. The

highlighted issues were:

1. Right to equality, including

equality before law, prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste,

gender or place of birth, and equality of opportunity in matters of employment

2. Right to freedom which includes speech and expression.

3. Right to education for women.

4. Right against exploitation and domestic violence.

6. Right to participation

7. Rights to good health of

The issues were centered on

the equal rights of men and

Various SHGs including Sonar

Bangla SGSY, Bhogini Nibedita SGSY, Ashar Alo SGSY, Kalimata SGSY, Preetilata SHG,

Nibedita SHG, Matangini SGSY, Sima jalobibhavjka, Narisakti SGSY, laksminarayan SGSY,

Siddkiya SGSY, Ma Jamuna SGSY, Ma Sitala SHG, Ma Halima SHG, ma karunamoyee SHG,

Samajkalyan SGSY etc participated in rally with their group members.

Archana Show a participant, said, "Women should participate in more numbers and more of

such rallies should be held in DS‐

1 to motivate us. We are born

and brought up in the village, so

we don’t have the exposure to

participate in various social issues, as we

know men always lead the women. We

need a platform to express ourselves.”

The unique feature was the participation

of Pramanik family as two generations,

Pratima and her daughter‐in‐law

Sumitra participated in the rally Besides,

Manjura Begam and her daughter‐in‐

law Karima Bibi also participated in rally.

“Bouma (daughter‐in‐law) said that she will join in a rally of SHG groups and this really only

for women. I told her to take me with her as I want to see this rally” said Pratima with her

dreamy eyes.

Shefali Patra, a member of Preetilata SHG said at the ending speech, “We are really thankful

to Paribesh Unnayan Parishad to take this initiative to collectivize the women of DS‐1 GP.

Now we started our journey and will reach our destiny. We will actively participate to

Some of posters

A smile of inspiration

Raise voice in various issues related women at Mahendraganj Bazar

construct the brick road and tube‐wells in our area. We will prove that we can run a

successful business.”

Nibedita, a field facilitator of PUPA said, “International Women's Day provided an important

opportunity to reflect on the process of mobilization of women in DS‐1 GP in recent times, and to

focus on the exciting future ahead. Being a woman, I am very happy to participate in this rally.”

These are some moments of inspiration from the rally. Poor and illiterate women require

this type of assembly where they share their experience of struggle, joy, and excitement and

also inspire other women. The one day rally may not change the scenario of women of DS‐1

GP. It needs more follow up and motivation to collectivize the women to develop their own

capacities. Now the biggest challenge will be proper implementation of infrastructure

development (EPA) and livelihood development (IGA) of local area to improve the quality of

life of community members of DS‐1 GP through women groups. Even though they face many

problems but if they succeed, they will be the biggest inspiration to collectivize the other

women in DS‐1 GP as well as in Sagar island. Hopefully, in the next Women’s day, we will

see some successful business women of DS‐1 GP, who will share her success story to

motivate the others.

8. ‘Swanirvar Gosthir Milan Mela’

A dream, a pledge and fulfillment

… An initiative to collectivize the women in DS-I GP, Sagar Island

Back Ground

Presently Paribesh Unnayan Parishad (PUPA) is working with active support of Self Help

Groups in Dhaspara

Sumitinagar‐I Gram

Panchayet (DS‐I GP) to uplift

the quality of life and

livelihood of the poor,

vulnerable and

downtrodden people under

project of integrated coastal

zone management, West Bengal (ICZM). In this project we are focusing specially on women

self help groups( SHGs) to collectivize them for institutional development, collective

initiative in income generation activities and participation in infrastructural development

including planning and implementation to improve the quality of life of the communities of

DS‐I GP. PUPA has always tried to involve the women groups in various activities to improve

their capacities and build self esteem among them. Already, some women groups

restructured their groups and selected new leaders to mobilize other members of the

groups and start a new journey to discover the venture.

Initiative of SHG Meet:

In this position, PUPA is trying to collectivize the all SHGs with active support of SHG leaders

of DS‐I GP under a roof to start a collective journey of 152 SHGs including 120 women

Groups, 24 mixed groups. As per dream, PUPA discussed with SHG members for a meet,

where they will share their views and celebrate with each other regarding social, political

and economic empowerment of the women and also a day for amusing of the women. The

basic objectives of this meet will be to celebrate the respect, appreciation and love towards

women of DS‐1 GP, Sagar Island and to celebrate women’s economic, political, and social

achievements and arouse within SHG women a sense of self‐esteem. So we had several

discussions with the SHG women to organize a day long meet of the SHGs. 40‐50 leaders of

SHGs came together to assemble a meet. After 3‐4 meetings, they confirmed a date for SHG

meet on June 8, 2014 at Mahendraganj high school. They also selected a name for the meet

“Swanirvar Gosthir Milan Mela”.

A core team of Meet

SHG women finalized and divided in various group to manage the whole day programme.

The best thing of this event will be the women participation and willingness to take

responsibilities for success of a work. Besides, SHG women also exhibit their work and skills
