PROBLEM Whether we accept it or not “Street children, Unaccompanied Children, Malnutrition Children, Missing Children, and Working Children or Child laborers, Child marriage” are happening only among weaker sections of our society since they are more vulnerable and easily prone to exploitation, harassment, abuse, diseases and untouchables by public, deprived of love and affection, lack of care, un-hygiene living conditions. Apart from that majority of these young at risk are prone to addictions due to unavoidable realistic reasons which they have undergone in their life such as broken families, ill-treatment by parents or family members, company of bad peers, influence of elder or senior street children, to pass time, forget the past or sad part of their life and to live in a dream world than existing world.

Aims of Margadarshi Society VISION: “Margadarshi” envisages a child-friendly and sustained society, “where children are free from all forms of abuse, exploitation, malnutrition, enjoying childhood and their rights, live with respect and dignity and social justice without any discrimination”

Page BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF MARGADARSHI SOCIETY: MARGADARSHI is a registered society, working for the most vulnerable children in the society, exclusively working for street children and child labors. The genesis of the organization stems from its vision of helping and enabling those children who are rendered homeless and who live in the most difficult circumstances in their struggle for survival, by factors which are most often, out of their control. The experience of Margadarshi shows that even when the children leave their homes; it is a complex set of underlying factors which are instrumental in their decision to abandon their homes to survive on their own. Though only a few children are orphans neglected rag pickers and vulnerable, in the true sense of the word, all of them ultimately end up living the lives of orphans. Margadarshi started initially covering Kalaburagi, Wadi (Karnataka). The need assessment started with informal visits to the railway platform, bus stand and market contacting the children. Slowly a rapport with the children was established. The children were provided with shelter food and gradually recreational visits outside the railway platforms such as picnics to nearby places were organized and taught nonformal education. These initial attempts helped the organization to create a climate necessary for the children to open and divulge the details of their history in terms of where they were from and their reasons for leaving home.

Night and Day Shelter for Urban Homeless Citizens by City Corporation Kalaburagi Since 2010, the Kalaburagi City Corporation had started the shelter for the urban homeless citizens at Kalaburagi. Opened Night shelter home with all facilities to provide shelter and food for homeless people during the winter months. Each site offers a warm, safe place to sleep, provides meals(dinner) and then asks the guests to go to their places following morning. The program is a unique way for people of faith to become directly involved with people who are homeless. The simple goal is to keep homeless people provide safe shelter in the shelter homes and keep away from cold winter nights. A greater goal is to provide a more personal relationship with homeless people, at least for a night, and a deeper understanding of the depth and complexity of the issue.

During the period 2011-2012 season, Margadarshi Society Kalaburagi provided a total of 200 overnight accommodations to 129 people. In the program on the following priority basis: Women or men with children, Women, Senior Citizens (age 60+) and Men or Men with a disability. Homeless persons queue up at the back door of the shelter home from 4:00 PM for a carefully formatted intake and registration process and must show a state-issued identification card, and those do not have identity card are also provided shelter after some questioning after ascertaining their authenticity. Each person’s data is entered into our database to help us determine who is using the program and how often. Writes one grateful neighbor: "For moments each night, if I am fortunate, I sleep not as homeless in the street, but with warmth and friendship, Margadarshi. Somewhere during the evenings of friendly faces, showers, videos, and jokes, laughs and, I was transformed from homeless to someone with a misfortune. I no longer view the world from ground level, where each may look down on me. I view the world from ground zero, where each may view my launch. “I thank you, all who volunteer for this program. You have given me fortitude, I am sure that I am not alone in this.”

Health check-up camp conducted Health check-up camp conducted every quarterly for the urban homeless citizens at Margadarshi shelter Dr. Malhar Rao Malle and Dr. Ambaligi will come and check-up the people they give suggestion them to care about your health, and new paper reporters were present at the health check-up day too.

Page Review of SPJ activities/programs from July 17 to May 2018: Analytical study on the status of schools, roundtable regarding reflections on SPJ 10 year’s journey and child rights election advocacy awareness are the main activities and programs of SPJ in the period of July 17 to June 2018. SPJ core committee members had a detailed and analytical discussion on these things.

Analytical study on government schools: SPJ is always advocating for the empowerment of government schools as well as the public education system. It conducted a campaign against the closure of government schools and succeeded even to reopen few closed schools in Davangere, Chickballapur, and other districts. It is having very critical stand regarding 25% reservation under RTE Act which indirectly giving license for commercialization and privatization of government schools and on the other hand trying to acknowledge the positive contribution of government schools in the field of education. In spite of negative criticism and attack on government schools from established forces, this study is aimed to put forward that in even in the current scenario government schools are rendering quality education. SPJ team has conducted an analytical study on the status of government schools in 73 schools of Bengaluru Urban, Davangere, Haveri, Bijapur, Kalaburagi and Raichur districts. After that, it had a critical review of the collected information on 23rd and 24th April 2018 at Indian Social Institute, Bengaluru and decided to collect left out information along with needful corrections. And also they decided to make around 25 stories on the government schools which are having the important and historical background. Now data coding and analytical work are also almost over and report making as well as printing work will be over within a week. SPJ core committee has decided to release the report within 25th of this month. Roundtable: Reflection on SPJ 10-year journey: SPJ came into force on 23rd and 24th February 2007 at CYCD, Bengaluru and it passed around 11 years journey. In this long journey, it voiced against SEZs, commercialization, and privatization of education, closure of government schools. It leads the vigorous campaign against child malnutrition which reached even at the national level and resulted with “Anna Bhagya”, “Ksheera Bhagya”, “Mathru Poorna” kind of pro-people and pro-children scheme in the state. SPJs study on the negative impacts of child marriage had given a new direction to the entire campaign against child marriage issue and finally, it forced for the certain changes in the Karnataka rules. Like way, there is a number of success stories under the belt of SPJ in these 10 years journey. Ms.Haseena and Mr.Vittal Chikani have created their own track record in regard with NRC/MNRCs and child marriage prevention. Like way others also developed their own identity by addressing multiple issues. To recapture the important steps of SPJ in order to recharge for the future journey SPJ is having this program. The core committee members felt to organize this program in the month of July 2018 why because it needs sufficient and quality time.

Child rights election advocacy: This time SPJ tried to involve even KSCPCR in the process of election advocacy and lobbing along with like-minded NGOs and Social Organizations. On 23rd January a consultation meeting was organized jointly with KSCPCR in KSCPCR secretariat, Bengaluru. Mr.Ambanna Arolikar initiated the consultation meeting and Dr.Kripa Alva, KSCPCR chairperson presided over. Mr.Pravin gave a PPT presentation on the current issues pertaining to the children’s health, education, development, and protection. Based on his presentation, various NGO and Social Organization representatives shared their concerns, opinions, and suggestions which can be included in the children’s election manifesto.

Page Part II. 07. The Hunger Project - Strengthening Elected Women’s Leadership in Karnataka and Strengthening the Leadership of Elected Women Representatives by RNE and AJWS The Mindset Shift: Imagine you’ve grown up in a village, living in hunger and poverty. It’s all you’ve ever known. It’s like that now and it’s always been like that. The future looks like an extension of the past. Interrupting that thinking about what the future could look like the silver bullet to what is we do; we call it shifting the mindset.

THE HUNGER PROJECT IS ABOUT HELPING INDIVIDUALS TO SHIFT INTO A MINDSET THAT SAYS THEY CAN ACTUALLY SOLVE THEIR OWN HUNGER, THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO GET AN INDIVIDUAL TO SHIFT THEIR BEHAVIOUR, AND IF YOU GET ENOUGH INDIVIDUALS TO SHIFT THEIR BEHAVIOUR THEN THE ENTIRE VILLAGE WILL CHANGE MICHEAL RENNIE, GLOBAL LEADER – ORGANIZATIONAL PRACTICE, MCKINSEY, and CO.

THE HUNGER PROJECT’S VISION, COMMITMENT, ACTION WORKSHOPS The Vision, Commitment, Action workshop is the innovative technology behind The Hunger Project’s work in Africa and Bangladesh. This is the first – and most critical – step in our approach to creating sustainable and transformative change. Through this process, our village partners shift their mindsets from resignation and despondency to optimum and empowerment, so that they can see that they have the power and agency to end their own hunger. Addressing the entrenched attitudes and beliefs of our village partners is the key to empowering them to become self-reliant, transform their lives and create a new future for their communities.

THE HUNGER PROJECT’S VISION: A world where every woman, man, and child lead a healthy, fulfilling the life of self-reliance and dignity

THE HUNGER PROJECT’S MISSION: To end hunger and poverty by pioneering sustainable, grassroots, women- centered strategies and advocating for their widespread adoption in countries throughout the world.

WHAT WE BELIEVE We know it’s possible for hunger to end, and that our generation has the power to end it once and for all. In our experience, people who live in hunger are not the problem rather they are the solution. We don’t see a billion mouths to feed, we see a billion human beings who are enterprising and resilient. The work, therefore, is to unblock their capacity, creativity, and leadership so they can end their own hunger. That’s what we do. The Hunger Project empowers women and men living in rural villages in Africa, India, Bangladesh, and Latin America to end their own hunger. We reach more than 18 million people who are transforming themselves, their families and their communities, and are bringing about the end of hunger. These women leaders have prevailed, showing amazing tenacity and achieving incredible results against all odds. They have succeeded in bringing water, health, education, and electricity to their villages despite threats and brutalities. The Hunger Project has trained more than 83,000 Elected Women Representatives in India who are bringing water and electricity to their villages

Page Part II. 09. EMPOWERING GIRL CHILD-Ensuring Education and Dignity for Girl Children. Hence prevention of Girl Marriages in Belagavi, Ghataprabha, by CRY Vision: By strengthening protective environment and rights of the girl child, we would reduce violence, abuse, child marriage, child trafficking and injustice towards the girl child by 50%. Thereby leading to girls from marginalized communities having access to educational and protection systems in Chikodi Taluk of Belgaum District

Problem: Child Marriage is a social problem wherein girls are robbed of their childhood, denied their rights to health, education, and security. In Chikodi Taluk of Belgaum district has identified the high incidence of child marriage. The team has recorded 19 in 2015 cases of Child Marriage, following up team has also recorded 58 from 2011-14 children married below the age of 18. Patriarchal Value system prevalent and followed, lead to discrimination of the girl's child. Child Marriage is a manifestation of discriminatory practices against the girl child, societal norms, property, lack of availability of high schools in the region. Devdasi System, which was an historical oppression of women/dedication of young girls in the region with Saudatti Yellamma Temple located in the District had a major prevalence in the region this has come been mitigated due to the campaign/work of the team. The oppression/violence against women and girls stem out of the patriarchal mindset continues in different manners as in child marriage and child trafficking

Child Marriage is a social norm which is reinforced by religion. Child Marriage not only robs every opportunity for girls to thrive but also damages their mental and physical health which has intergenerational detrimental consequences. Official apathy doubled with weak policies and laws have not curbed child marriages in the region

Outcomes: Improved understanding of the status of the girl child, their risks and vulnerabilities towards child marriage. Communities, parents, made aware of the harmful impact of child marriage/trafficking, and they begin discussing the issue, look for alternatives, or critical thinking on the issue begins Activation of key child protection systems by the effective representation of ICPS and other child protection mechanisms envisaged under ICPS

This Program Started by Margadarshi Society in October 2017 in Ghataprabha.
