Aatm-Manthan 2: HARIT PRAYAS review meet @ Sagar ( in village) from 24th-26th April 2013


1. Concept
Aatam-Manthan is a ancient Hindi word, first time used by a lord Krishna in Mahabhatha ,while preaching Arjuna in Geeta about realisation of the”truth of the world” so that to move foreward.

Probably with HRIT PRYAS the context of Bundelkhand is tougher than the battle field of Kurukshetra[1] in the form of issues related with poverty, migration, drought and combating on these issues are not few days task.  Few facts about the Bundelkhand region (till 2011) are:

  • Sex ratio of all the districts  is lower than the state average
  • Highest in Farmers suicide in last 10 years [2]
  • The indebtedness among farmers can be understood by the official records that total amount of current outstanding bank debts in Bundelkhand is Rs 4,370.32 crore. This is 21% more than 2010 when the total bank debts stood at Rs 3,613.22 crore.
  • 2 severe droughts in last 5 years
  • Caste system is on its heights!
  • Cost in agriculture is 76% of total income from agriculture
  • Still more than 15% of villages are not electrified[3]
  • Strong veil system for women
  • Migration is up to 48% from villages[4]

With HARIT PRAYAS in last two we have initiated, generated and sensitised a movement amongst the community and different stakeholders to work on the issues and to have a better livelihood and life in the entire Bundelkhand region. Considering this last year we have initiated the concept of AATAMMANTHAN in the form of learning cycle meet along with the LIFE project partners (from Rajasthan) and in continuation with the same AATAMMANTHAN-2 would be a platform to learn and from the process and to see the  development changes brining in Bundelkhand region through HARIT PRAYAS.  It will also give community a scope to be the part of review meetings, share the progress and indeed take the progress further on.

2. Objectives of the Aatam-Manthan-2:
  • To learn from the process adopted  and progress in HARIT PRAYAS project till date with special focus on last one year and strategically develop sustainable plan for the last year of the project implementation
  • To engage community fully in the review process of the project and to train them on taking responsibilities to mange the project further on.
  • To strengthen the partner organisation capacity in terms of new resources, Human resource and financial management

3. Expected outcome from AATAM-MANTHN-2
  • Analysis & clarity on HARIT PRAYAS process and progress (including finance) amongst all the participants
  • Capacity building of partner and the HARIT PRAYAS team on governance, programme implementation and 12th 5 year plan
  • Finalised concrete 3rd year plan with focus on strengthening governance and sustain sustainable agriculture with community collectiveness
  • Finalised end term agreement
  • Partner specific plan for resource mobilisation and human resource capacity building
