  • Salaam Baalak Trust Annual Report 2006
    SALAAM BAALAK TRUST ANNUAL REPORT 2006 - 07 1 Dear readers A child is the most important asset of any society, as well as the flag bearer of cultures and values of that society to which it belongs. In adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child nations across the world pledged to make it a better place for the children to grow in an environment free from fear, exploitation and hunger, of creativity and expression and participation. Despite this most nations have been unable to achieve the laid out principles and goals of this Convention more so in the developing than the developed countries. India too has a long way to go in realizing these goals and being a signatory to the Convention it is obligatory on its part to ensure that these are fulfilled. Some of the most vulnerable and exploited children of the world are the children of the street, and those who have run away from home. In Delhi itself, close to half million children are homeless and roam around railway stations and other places to sit for a while, take a deep breath and garner some energy to take on what life next throws at them. In their quest for better life, these children board trains, not knowing where they are going and what they are looking for. In their effort to escape the misery of poverty, even abuse, they end up facing a new reality which can be even more harsh. While the fear of dejection prevents them from going back, the fantasy of a better life in the mirage of city life catapults them into a struggle where they are left to fend for themselves.

  • SCMM 11 Final Charity Docket SINGLE PAGE
    CHARITY DOCKET The sport of distance running is based on the 4 pillars of (i) International Pride & Prestige to the host city, (ii) Communal Harmony, (iii) Health & Fitness, and (iv) Charity. And ‘Charity’ is at the heart of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon. 189 NGO’s representing varied causes, from child welfare, women empowerment, disability, education, elderly, medical support, aid & support for cancer patients, community disability, HIV/AIDS, rural development, registered with the Event’s official Charity Partner, United Way of Mumbai. Some used this event as a platform to raise awareness for the work they undertake and some to raise amounts for their charitable activities. Each NGO was empowered, under the able supervision of United Way of Mumbai, to reach out to corporates and the citizens of Mumbai and India. Individuals and companies could choose a cause closest to their hearts, and reach out to their friends, colleagues and family, in their fund raising mission. The 8th edition of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon was a milestone year in the journey of this IAAF Gold Label Marathon. A record amount of Rs. 12.16 crores has been raised by 131 NGO’s across the country with the help of benevolent contributions from individuals, corporates and groups. This is a clear increase of Rs 3 crores as compared to the amount raised in the 2010 edition. We wish to thank the Maharashtra Government and the custodians and caretakers of Mumbai for their whole hearted and unstinted support in the success of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2011. This docket records the excellent charity work carried out by non-profit organizations, corporates and individuals.

  • People Like Us Pavan Varma
    PEOPLE LIKE US PAVAN VARMA Preface This book, which brings together the column People Like Us, which I wrote for several months for The Hindustan Times, will give you the examples of people and institutions who have somehow broken through the haze of cynicism, and have contributed in personally satisfying ways to society over and above the normal preoccupations of a metropolis. The examples are largely from in and around New Delhi, but I have not the slightest doubt that they are a representative sample of what a few — alas just a few —are doing elsewhere in India too. These individuals and organizations need your help and involvement. In helping them you will only, in the long run, be helping yourself. The purpose of this book is to try and revive the project of social sensitivity —pivotal for the survival of any civil society. It is a book that can change your life and with it the destiny of India too. I am grateful to Har-Anand Publications who so readily collaborated in the publication of the book. I owe a special note of thanks to Narendra Kumar with whom I first discussed the project, and to his son, Ashish Gosain, who so efficiently brought it to fruition. My gratitude is also due to Rohit Babbar, my colleague, who helped in the making of the columns. I need hardly add that this book would not have been possible but for the fullest cooperation of those who are featured in them. I remain indebted to them. PAVAN K.

  • India Operational Plan Report FY 2010
    India Operational Plan Report FY 2010 Custom Page 1 of 346 FACTS Info v3.8.3.30 2012-10-03 14:37 EDT Operating Unit Overview OU Executive Summary India has the third largest HIV epidemic in the world. According to the 2007 Government of India (GOI) national estimates, there are 2.31 million people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). However, because India is such a large country, the estimated adult HIV prevalence is a mere 0.34% of the population. This low prevalence rate is misleading given that nominal elevations in the HIV/AIDS rates in India have global ramifications. Fortunately, since 1990 the Government of India has been dedicated to combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic through a series of progressively stronger national programs. The most recent National AIDS Control Program, Phase III (NACP III) has increased efforts to expand services and tailor interventions to the unique dynamics of the epidemic in India. Given NACP III’s current momentum and significant advances in scale-up and capacity development, at the central and state level, reversing the epidemic is within reach over the next five to ten years. India’s success influences the global HIV/AIDS pandemic reaching the Millennium Development Goals and meeting UNAIDS principles of the “Three Ones.” Working in close cooperation with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) and international partners, India is implementing “One” HIV/AIDS action framework, NACPIII, with “One” national AIDS coordinating authority, the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO). Now India is working towards unifying the country-level monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems under “One” authority.
