Final -Annual-Report-2015-16.Pdf PREFACE While trying to introspect and retrospect the services, Bikash has completed its 2 decades of landmark in serving the humanity. It gives me immense pleasure to share the milestones achieved as well as gear up for the celebration of two decades of services. Ever since Bikash has undertaken the robust task of addressing childhood disabilities and providing services to the children suffering from Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation, Autism and Multiple Disabilities, it has grown from strength to strength as it continues to meet its commitments. Intending to provide for the comprehensive rehabilitation of the differently-abled children so that they can be mainstreamed into the community, our Special School continues to operate from its own campus at the outskirts of Bankura town and serve the special children coming from near and far. Special Education, Early intervention, therapeutic management, Functional literacy, Counselling, Pre-vocational Skill & Vocational Skill training, etc. have been provided free of cost to over 100 children from Monday to Friday by professionally qualified personnels. Having reached on the two decades of functioning, we can gladly say that our journey has been an enlightening and enriching one coupled with amazing lessons, inspite of all the turmoils we have faced. We continue to emphasize and work on advocacy, vocational skill training and economic rehabilitation of the Persons with Disabilities. Keeping in view, the Empowerment of Person with Disabilities, we have conducted Skill Development training of Persons with Disabilities in collaboration with Vocational Rehabilitation for the Handicapped (VRCH) Centre. Kolkata and National Institute for the Orthopedically Handicapped (NIOH), Kolkata. Meanwhile, we have started to form Self-Help Groups of Persons with Disabilities. Buyer seller meet has been arranged to showcase their talent and products Early Childhood Care and Education has been another top priority area of our intervention as we believe that the first five years of child’s life is most crucial to his /her all round development. Subsequently early detection, correct diagnosis, early intervention and appropriate referrals have been practiced with all sincerity and efforts. With the vision of developing human potential so that, women and children hailing from the underprivileged section, can learn and act for their holistic development, we have sustained our interventions in Rural Sanitation programme, Revised National Tuberculosis programme, Axshay India Round 9 TB Control programme, Universal Salt Iodization programme etc. during the past year. While the success rate of our achievement is quite high and recognizable, there still remains a glaring need in the community to continue or initiate more of such similar interventions in the near future. Being a child focused organization, Child Protection have always been a common agenda in all our programmes and interventions. Therefore, to protect the vulnerable and at risk children we are running a Boys’ Home, Girls’ Home, Special Home for the challenged children, Open Shelter for street & Platform children, Learning Centre for the tribal and backward community children, besides a pre-primary and a primary non-formal education centre. Our organization is recognized by the Govt. of West Bengal (Commissioner for Disabilities) as well as the National Trust, Govt. of India. We are thankful to LittleBigHelp, Denmark for their generous support to carry out our philanthropic work for these hapless children. Also we are very grateful to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and sports, GOI, Department of Women and Child Development & Social Welfare, Govt. of W.B., National Bank for Agriculture & Rural Development, District ICDS Cell, Bankura GLRA and UNICEF- India. Heartfelt thanks goes to our team members and volunteers for their tireless effort to achieve our goal. We are thankful to our Donors, Knowledge partners, Guardians, Governing Body Members and well wishers. Our main concern now is to further empower the challenged Persons with disabilities (children and adult) as well as the vulnerable, at risk and deprived communities, so that, they may overcome their barriers, gain access to their rights and become a potential citizen of the Nation. We, therefore, appeal to all concerned for extending their support in our endeavor to carry out our service for the under privileged in Bankura.

  • Salient Issues Affecting Defence Manpower in India
    Focus Salient Issues Affecting Defence Manpower in India Gurmeet Kanwal* Manpower costs are increasingly becoming unmanageable and are driving national security planners towards thinking creatively about what used to be called ‘affordable defence’. Despite leap-frogging from third to fourth generation weapons technologies in the short span of about two decades, modern armed forces are still far from being able to effect substantive reductions in manpower by substituting fighting personnel with innovative technologies while ensuring operational effectiveness. In fact, more often than not, technological solutions are proving to be costlier than the present arrangements for security. It may be quite a long wait to see which way the technology cookie crumbles. In India’s case, because of the Army’s extensive commitments in border management and manpower-intensive internal security duties, it is unable to undertake major reduction in its manpower. Direct personnel costs amount to almost 50 per cent of the Army’s revenue budget and indirect costs add further to the burden. As the defence budget is unlikely to increase beyond 2.5 per cent of the GDP, the Army’s modernisation plans have fallen way behind the required qualitative levels. It argues that there is a need to seek innovative and creative solutions to reduce the costs of manpower even if the manpower itself cannot be reduced in large numbers at present.
