“AATAM MANTHAN-2 would be a unique
platform to have a project review meeting with the community rather than in a
meeting hall it would be in a village”
From 25th-27th April 2013 at Sagar
“दिखा गई पथ, सिखा गई हमको जो सीख सिखानी थी,
बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी,
खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी”
बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी,
खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी”
These
are the few lines of Poet subhadra Kumari Chauhan who wrote this poem on the first freedom revolution in India
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
4. Who all would
participate?
All the Directors, HARIT PRAYAS project
team ( including Coordinator, Field Coordinator , Accountants and Cluster
Coordinators) , along with one each PRI member would be the part of the AAtam Manthan-2.
