भूख....एक मज़दूर की...


भूख....एक मज़दूर की...Hunger....is not an entertainment/fast/pizza/dieting...for those families who do not get food!

पेट खाली हुआ, तो पता चला भूख लगी है,घर में चुल्लाह जला नही, तो पता चला भूख लगी है,
परिवार बड़ा है....घरवाली कही से रोटिया लाई थी चार, बट गयी, तो पता चला भूख लगी है..

Recently on 10th Dec 2013, Carits India have launched a campaign on -One human Family food for all! to understand more about hunger and how it relates with the concept -"one Human family".. I have spent evening few hours with people involved in construction work ( stying on footpath and in huts) near my house in Dwarka (New Delhi) and later on two evenings with a construction worker family ( basic a homeless family) to understand what 'hunger' is for them....

It was difficult to explain ...and was difficult to even know that there are many homeless people, construction worker, daily wages people in cities like Delhi and I hope in other cities also go to their bed ( on floor-that the only bed with them in this chilled winter) with entire family without food....is this not surprising that entire family is sleeping without food..... (आप के सिर्फ़ आँसू नही आएँगे...लेकिन आप रो देंगे..).....for many of us being hunger is fast, being hunger is an entertainment, being hunger is losing our weight, being hunger is going out for food, being hunger means pizza.....but for more than us...many many more than us...many people are there for whom 'hunger is pain...a family pain' ...just with my feelings i put some words for construction worker/homeless people facing 'hunger'....

भूख....एक मज़दूर की...

पेट खाली हुआ, तो पता चला भूख लगी है,
घर में चुल्लाह जला नही, तो पता चला भूख लगी है,

दिन भर कमारतोड मज़दूरी की , ष्हां को मलिक के पास गया,
मज़दूरी मिली नही, तो पता चला भूख लगी है,

इधर-उधर से कुछ पैसे उधार लिए, बाज़ार गया,
मुट्ठी भर भी आनाज मिल ना पाया, तो पता चला भूख लगी है,

घर पहुचा ...तो देखा बच्चो के चहेरे पे एक आस थी....
सिर्फ़ गले लगाने के सिवाए , कुछ दे ना पाया , तो पता चला भूख लगी है....

परिवार बड़ा है....घरवाली कही से रोटिया लाई थी चार, बट गयी, तो पता चला भूख लगी है..

मिट्टी के फर्श पे , या सड़क किनारे....नींद ना आई...
सुबह की बेचानी..की शयड कुछ जुगाड़ हो जाए....कही से...भर पेट खाना मिल जाए....
सोच के रते गुजर दी तो पता चला भूख लगी है....
पेट खाली हुआ, तो पता चला भूख लगी है,
घर में चुल्लाह जला नही, तो पता चला भूख लगी है,

ना जाने कब मितेगी.....या मिटा देगी हमे ये भूख.....

CARITAS INDIA HARIT PRAYAS MAKING DIFFERENCE IN LIFE OF PEOPLE@CHATARPUR

Kota and Patra were two village in the target area without any road facility to travel. On rainy season it was very difficult to reach in the village even: The people remained in the villages itself almost four months to get the rainy season over. What Harit Prayas team did was, we motivated the village people to argue foir road facility. It came to know that Chief Minister (CM) visits Bijawar block for a programme on 5th. The village people printed banners, on which it was written that, "road nahi tho, vote nahi"(if we have no road, we won't give you vote). When CM reached the place, village people raised slogans at him. It was really successful, CM ordered his staff to take the necessary steps as very early as possible to meet the need. And thus it was sanctioned!

                          Buniayd Baseline Facilitation Shop Training of DSS



It was a vision to empower the diocese to use their intellectual capacity and field knowledge to work in group for creating their own questionnaire for the baseline in their region.
It started with the Introduction of baseline, and then frequent discussion began, Caritas India facilitated the proceedings (including Mr Joseph, Mr Shaju, Mr Vinod and Mr Aneesh ) and   framed  4 groups of all the 10 partners from Bundelkhand and Maharashtra diocese the best part was that everyone shared their own experience of working in the field area and the issues that they generally see with the villagers. Since all the partners were ready with their Situational Analysis and Problem Tree, So it became easier in framing the questions and 6 major issues were identified (including Agriculture, Entitlements,  Skill development, Migration, Forest and Water).
On the Second day we finalized the questions and went in the 2 field areas of Poone Diocese for the field testing, there we talked to Sarpanch, Anagawadi workers and villagers; we filled the Village Profile and Farmers Profile while trying to identify the problems that we faced filling the interview schedule. After when we returned back we had very enjoying cultural event facilitated by Caritas India and the other partners.
On the last day we discussed on all the pros and cons of the questionnaire and refined it, than all the partners sat in their group and worked on their questionnaire to finalize it. Lastly, we had a concluding session including vote of thanks by Caritas India and Partner DSS and discussion on the 3 days workshop while improvements that needs to be worked on during the other workshops.
Achievements:

Rajya Sabha clears the New Companies Bill, CSR becomes mandatory!




Good news for development sector!

The Rajya Sabha today approved the much awaited new Companies Bill, making it mandatory for profit making companies to spend on activities related to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In case, a company is not doing so, it will have to explain the reasons for shortfall.

The Bill was already passed by Lok Sabha in December last year and now only President’s nod is required to make it a law. The Bill, aimed at improving corporate governance, also contains provisions to strengthen regulations for corporates as well as auditing firms.

Moving the bill for consideration, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Corporate Affairs Sachin Pilot said private companies, while maximising their growth, also have responsibility towards society besides equitable and sustainable growth of the country.

The changes in the Bill include provisions making it mandatory for companies to spend two% of their average net profit on CSR activities. However, only companies reporting Rs 5 crore or more profits in the last three years have to make the CSR spend.

Companies failing to meet the obligation will have to explain and disclose reasons in their annual books of account. Otherwise, companies would face action, including penalty. Pilot emphasized that the Bill aims to encourage firms to undertake social welfare voluntarily instead of imposing that through “inspector raj”. Safeguarding workmen in the legislation, the new law mandates payment of two years’ salary to employees in companies which wind up operations. This liability would be overriding, Pilot said. The amended legislation, with 470 clauses, also limits the number of companies an auditor can serve to 20. It has also brought in more clarity on criminal liability of auditors. Besides, the approved amendments also include annual ratification of appointment of auditors for five years and introduction of a new clause related to offence of falsely inducing banks for obtaining credit. Besides, the changed law allows more statutory powers to the government’s investigative arm Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) to tackle corporate fraud.

Caritas India programmes-Beyond boundaries!

Dear all,

Monday beautiful greetings!

Hope you all must be well and fine!  Just 2-3 days back,  came  after 15 days visit to different partners and parts  of Maharashtra ( was there as the  part of MIDAS-2 evaluation). Anyways this mail is not to share what I was doing, but just want to share with you all that how our programmes ( from Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Bundelkhand)  are reached to the different parts of the country. In 15 days during MIDAS-2 evaluation for me was to surprise that at partner level-Directors, team members and even at some places communities talk more about JEEVIKA, HARIT PRAYAS, LIFE and even newly initiated programme ANKUR, infect some of the partners have come out with books on HARIT PRAYAS and in a small or large way in their different programmes they use the process and methodology of the mentioned programmes! For me personally it was happy moment to see that where we are not working, with whom I have never interacted-people know about the programmes of CI in Rajasthan, Bundelkhand and MP and not only know even they share to other about the programmes!

I asked a question how they know about the said programmes-the 1st thing they said was through blog and social media, 2nd was the word of mouth and third by caritas India team visiting to them or interacting with them…at community level people know about the programmes through coordinators of concerned dioceses or sisters of sisters congregations sharing to them about the programmes.

…when we have initiated our programmes and different platform for sharing it…we had never thought that it would be so well accepted by different people from different states, but seeing Mahrashtra example…I am really glad and with proud that people are through with the  Caritas India development brands-JEEVIKA, HARIT PRAYAS, LIFE and ANKUR !

Why people have affection or knowledge learning from JEEVIKA, HARIT PRAYAS, LIFE & ANKUR?
Probably:
·         Innovative models
·         Field based and evidence based results
·         Strong handholding support from CI to the programmes
·         Recruitment process with involvement of CI
·         Programmes based on 100% baseline
·         Programmes based on various feasibility studies
·         Programmes based on formal linkages with KVK, NABAD and all panchyats
·         Almost daily updated  on online platform
·         Programme impact not limited to only few villages, but entire area
·         Programme empowers the dioceses partners to be more professionals
·         Larger visibility
·         Prog results not only linked with specific villages, but analysed at larger state or region level
·         Gender specific programming
·         Hindi/local names with brand logos
·         Regular visitors from different part of country and from different part of world
For you all here I have attached a brief cluster report of JEEVIKA, HARIT PRAYAS, LIFE  results achieved in relation with budget ( till June 2013) to kow why and how the programmes reach to many , beyond the programme boundaries….
One of the sister from Vasia dioceses said that “vinod  when I go to office  in the morning one of the first thing comes in my mind is JEEVIKA prog of Caritas India”
A big thanks to all the people associated with the said programmes-brand marketing.. and a big thanks to dioceses partners for the best possible implementation!
Let’s make change and knowledge reach to more and more!
