(DIBYA CHAND SHUKLA) Annual Report 2018-19 2 ORGANIZATION’S PROFILE Kalinga Kusum Foundation is a non-profit, policy research and advocacy group that addresses challenges tied to education, health, livelihood and overall empowerment in communities in the state of Odisha. It started its operations in 2011 with the goal of socio- economic independence and empowerment of those living on the edges of the society, with a special focus on children, youth, women, and tribal communities. The flagship initiative of KKF is the “Child Rights Advocacy Initiative with the Hon’ble MLAs of Odisha”, a collaboration between UNICEF Odisha and KKF. This initiative strives to orient, sensitize and mobilize legislatures, across political parties, on key child and women related issues. Another major part of this initiative is the “Child-Friendly Constituency” initiative, started on an experimental pilot basis in Khandapada Constituency, Nayagarh District. KKF played a pivotal role in the execution and management of the initiative which focused on capacity building of primary & middle-school children along with the goal of creating GP-based resource persons to take up the issues surrounding children, their education, health and overall well-being at the panchayat level. A major feather in the cap of KKF in 2018-19 was conceptualizing and successfully organising Kalahandi Dialogue 2018, with the ambitious goal of taking development discourse to grassroots. Since its inception, KKF has been working relentlessly on its flagship “Legal Empowerment and Access to Justice Project”, along with the “Policy Research and Advocacy Initiative”, and the “Direct Impact Campaigns”; all of which primarily focus on improving institutional capacities of key justice service providers to enable them to effectively serve the disadvantaged and on the other hand, on directly empowering the disadvantaged men, women and children to seek and demand justice services. And lastly, through its “Social Impact and Innovation Lab”, KKF has been nurturing and guiding young minds through our college out-reach and in-house training/mentoring programs; where students from various backgrounds and professions learn the ropes of Social Entrepreneurship & Impact Investment. Kalinga Kusum Foundation has been successfully liaising and working with diverse strata of the society; tribal, youth and women community, Government officials, Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI) members, legislators and other elected representatives, women, children, other civil society organizations, academic, media houses etc. Over the years, KKF has forged meaningful partnerships with National and International bodies like VisionSpring, UNICEF, GIRLS NOT BRIDE, CII, NAMATI, NASSCOM, Micro justice 4 All, Sri Sri University, National Law University, Odisha State Commission for Women, National Commission for Women (NCW), et al.

It comprised portions of the then Bihar and Odisha Province, Madras Presidency and the Central Provinces. The province of Odisha was placed under the personal rule of the Governor till the end of March 1937. An Advisory Council consisting of 20 persons was formed to advise the Governor on the administration of the province. FIRST PRE-INDEPENDENT ASSEMBLY, 1937 (UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA ACT, 1935) Under the Government of India Act, 1935, the strength of the Odisha Legislative Assembly was fixed at 60 including four nominated members, Election was held from the 18th to 23rd January 1937 under limited franchise. The party position in the Assembly was as follows : Congress . 36 United . 06 National . 04 No Party . 04 Independents . 06 Nominated . 04 Total : 60 2 Shri Biswanath Das was elected as the Leader of the Congress Party under the directive of the Congress High Command, Shri Das expressed his inability to accept the invitation to form the Ministry unless the Governor assures that "he would not use his special powers of interference or setaside the advice of Ministers in regard to constitutional activities". The Governor was not prepared to give such assurance in view of the consitutional provisions. As the leader of the majority party refused to form Ministry and the Government was bent upon inaugurating the new consitutional scheme for province on scheduled time, the Governor appointed Shri Krushna Chandra Gajapati Narayan Deo, the Maharaja of Paralakhemundi, the Prime Minister* of Odisha on the 1st April 1937.
