Annual Activities Report Year 2012-2013 CHALE CHALO S-3/60, Niladri Vihar, Po- Sailashree Vihar Bhubaneswar – 751021, Dist – Khurda, Odisah, India Ph-0674-2721157, Mob-9439400352 Email- [email protected] Web – www.chalechalo.org.in Page 2 PREFACE The year was dedicated to enormous working on the themes of Education, Empowerment, Environment and Child Rights. Our effort to recreate a luxurious green belt around coastal Kendrapara and ensure its bio-diversity unrestrained flourish is moving at a steady pace. Through community participation, we have planted around 1 lakh mangrove species and 2 lakh general plant species across the 60 operational villages since 2006. The movement has taken on new heights with more people, youth, women and children orienting determinedly towards it. School children are no less enthusiastic, and are cooperating with us in every way through their eco-clubs which we have facilitated for strengthening in all 60 schools in Rajnagar Pattamundai Mahakalpada Aul and Rajkanika Blocks. We have in the meanwhile set up a new MANGRO Center at Rajnagar which would stand out as an excellent resource center of the region inspiring progress of the masses in social, economic and environmental sectors. We are also engaged in intensive empowerment drive targeted at 6000 marginalized families in 60 backward villages of drought-prone KBK region of Odisha. We are assisting them to articulate their genuine problems, demand civil and constitutional rights and constitute legitimate forums to bear on the government collectively for accessing entitlements. We have brought in the community radio technology to strengthen their voice and reach, and it has worked superbly. We are also advocating with the same tool for rescuing thousands of innocent children from extreme poverty and humiliation in poverty- stricken Nuapada district of KBK region. We aim to improve quality of children education and break into booming child labor markets in the district. We are thankful to our people that we have been receiving huge support from all corners of the communities to this end. We have also been tied up with some best humanitarian organizations of the country and abroad who support us in great many ways. We only wish that our solidarity with these forces continued to grow in the years ahead.
