HARIT PRAYAS progress in April 2013@MVSS Sagar

This month started with our regular monthly meeting and we made a rigorous plan for awareness on conservation of non renewable resources which came out as a successful campaign and also what we are going to do this month including all our project activity and plan for our yearly review meet which was supposed to be held in Sagar. It was really a challenging task as for the first time it was supposed to be held in a village. So we were suppose to have a concrete plan for the success of this mega event. We were also able to complete all our targeted activity although our team was busy in managing the review meet. The concept of Atma manthan – 2 was to see the change that has taken place in the Bundelkhand region by Harit Prayas. During this Atma manthan – 2 we discussed about the impact of Harit Prayas in the Bundelkhand region of Jhansi, Satna and Sagar. During this review meet we went to see the four project villages of harit prayas namely Kadta, Semra Gond, Samnapur Kala and Juna. All the teams and Caritas officials went to see the actual change at the ground realities harit prayas. We also started with a new initiative of conserving power and money. In the villages like Samnapur, Jamghat we have started a campaigning for conserving electricity and because of that farmers are easily able conserve Rs 100 to Rs 400 a month. This initiative was actually being witnessed by Caritas officials and all other teams of harit prayas. Our Director, Fr. Shaju Devassy met with NABARD DDM for the further procedure of inauguration of the farmers club which is approximately done and may be in this quarter we will be easily  inaugurate few of our farmers clubs. We are already in the procedure of doing it. In the coming month we are going to have our recording of Bundelkhand folk album with akashwani which will be on MNREGA, Organic farming and other govt schemes.
