The full year has been a year of experimentation, learning and evolving. The year threw-up many challenges that made us capable to handle the situation. We faced, we learned, we resolved…! But not a single situation could change our zeal of working for the favour of poor. The path was not been smooth, but we never gave a single scope to deviate ourselves from our vision. Rural poor and vulnerable community has always been at the centre of everything. And we believe that long lasting change at grassroots can only be brought with the active participation of the mass. We have now jumped into a team of 48 professionals from 14. The team is blessed with the continuous support of more than 150 volunteers working dedicatedly for social, financial and moral development of the society. We are delighted to have exceeded our targets in our all seventeen projects. We have strengthened and streamlined our intervention through regular monitoring, evaluation and strategic guidance. Timely decision making was also done throughout the year. With the continued trust, encouragement and support from the partners, we were able to impact the lives of more than 0.2 million rural households through our previous and current projects spread across the remotest and hardest areas of 5 states of Eastern India. We are expressing our special gratitude to our beneficiaries, partners, funders, mentors, other stakeholders and well-wishers for keeping faith on us. We are thankful to everyone who has supported us conceptually, financially and in all manner of other ways. Thanks to the full team of 4S, without the dedicated effort of whom, growth of the organization was not possible. This year we were fortunate enough to see so many glorious moments. We would like to present a glimpse of that in this Annual Report. 15th April, 2019 Mihir Sahana Executive Director 3 Annual Report: 2018-19 Sarva Seva Samity Sanstha Content 1.

Gaya in Bihar was the district selected to start its work, where it got registered in 2003. 4S has got its initial mentorship and institutional support from Indian Grameen Services (IGS), with which it supported promotion of large number of women SHG in Bankebazar block of Gaya district. The organization also helped the SHGs to federate and start a woman run SHG federation, which later got registered under the State Mutual Cooperative Act. Since inception till date, Bihar is the major focus area of 4S.

    9 Community Lift Irrigation Systems in Gumla District, Jharkhand RAKESH TIWARY Examining the irrigation sharing practices among beneficiary groups, their conflicts and conflict resolution mechanisms, the study identifies the scope for formal ans sustainable institutional mechanisms for community managed irrigation systems. This study was carried out for PRADAN, Ranchi and Jharkhand. INTRODUCTION In rural India, a large number of families depend on agriculture for food security and livelihood. Irrigation is most important for improving agricultural methods, output and productivity. Assured irrigation can substantially enhance livelihood opportunities, particularly for small and marginal farmers. In the tribal areas of eastern India, assured irrigation is most critical for making the shift from primitive and subsistence agriculture to modern and commercial agriculture. However, access to assured irrigation becomes much more difficult due to physiographic conditions, remoteness, poverty, lack of modern technology, etc. Hence, external assistance is extremely important to bridge the financial, technological, information and institutional gaps in the promotion of irrigation in these areas. In order to strengthen the existing livelihoods of the rural people in Jharkhand, Professional Assistance for Development Action (PRADAN) has undertaken the task of institutionalizing people-managed irrigation systems in the villages. These include wells in the homesteads, lowland wells, water lifting devices and river-based lift irrigation schemes. All such infrastructure was created through funding from different government programmes, specified for poor rural families. PRADAN provides techno-managerial support to install the systems and creates social organizations to manage the schemes in the long run. These systems are managed by groups of beneficiaries, who share the responsibility of meeting the operating costs, the maintenance and the safe-keep of the systems.

  • The RTE Is on the Verge of Celebrating Seven Years of Completion, Its Performance and Implementation Has Been Poor
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Has the Right to Education Been Realised in Jharkhand? SUJIT KUMAR CHOUDHARY Sujit Kumar Choudhary ([email protected]) is at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Central University of Jharkhand, Ranchi. This article is based on a Research Study sponsored by National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), New Delhi. Vol. 53, Issue No. 5, 03 Feb, 2018 This article focuses on the status of implementation of various provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act in six tribal-dominated districts in Jharkhand. The state of Jharkhand was formed on 15 November 2000. According to the 2011 census, the population of the state was 3.29 crores and the literacy rate was 67.63%. There are 44,835 schools in the state—40,343 are government schools and 4,492 are private schools. Jharkhand adopted the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act in 2011 by specifying its own rules and regulations extracted from the original version of the act passed by the parliament. Although the RTE is on the verge of celebrating seven years of completion, its performance and implementation has been poor. Many studies and reports have confirmed the poor performance of the act at all levels of schooling. Children belonging to disadvantaged groups—Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and those below poverty line (BPL)—face problems and do not get admission in private unaided schools, despite 25 per cent of seats being reserved for them. It is thus important to analyse the District Information System for Education (DISE) data on the ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 performance of the RTE indicators in different schools located in six tribal-dominated districts of Jharkhand and compare them.

  • SUSTAINING the NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS (Ntfps) BASED RURAL LIVELIHOODS of TRIBALS in JHARKHAND: ISSUES and CHALLENGES Sanjay Kr
    Jharkhand Journal of Development and Management Studies XISS, Ranchi, Vol. 14, No.1, March 2016, pp. 6865-6883 SUSTAINING THE NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS (NTFPs) BASED RURAL LIVELIHOODS OF TRIBALS IN JHARKHAND: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES Sanjay Kr. Verma* & Sujit Kr. Paul** In much of Jharkhand, forests play a central role in economic, cultural and socio-political systems. The entire lives and livelihoods of many of the state’s people revolve around forests and forestry. Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) play an important role in supporting rural livelihoods and food security in Jharkhand. The present study tries to explore the spectrum of rural livelihood contributions of Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) through a sample of 50 respondents randomly selected from two villages in Bishunpur block, Gumla district. The main objective is to assess and analyse the contribution of NTFPs to rural livelihoods for both subsistence and commercial uses, and to identify factors influencing the level of engagement of households. The study is based on empirical fieldwork using both quantitative and qualitative data. A structured interview schedule was administered to the respondents. Comparing income and employment we find that all households collect NTFPs irrespective of their income contribution; but income contribution from crop cultivation is higher than that from NTFPs. To make NTFPs collection by tribals sustainable various issues and challenges need to be addressed. Introduction Forest sustains forest dwellers and maintains ecological and environmental equilibrium. Jana (2008) described how the forest is intimately connected with the culture and life of rural people and plays a vital role in their economy. Forest produce i.e., Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) collection and marketing is a traditional and cultural activity in many regions of the world.
