PRAKRATIK SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORT

1ST APRIL 2001 TO 31ST MARCH 2002

Background:

Ranthambhore National Park is a fragile island of dry deciduous forest in south-eastern Rajasthan. The Chambal and Banas Rivers surround it on two sides. The other two sides are walled with people. In 1973 when India launched “Project Tiger” approximately 70,000 people lived in the 96 villages and two townships. Today, over 200,000 people inhabit the same area. Most are poor, dependent on agriculture and husbandry, and as a result there is intense pressure upon the park for fodder and fuel wood. Although the extraction of forest produce continues to remain at a subsistence level, currently the sheer number of people pushing into the forest to graze their , harvest its grasses and hack at its trees makes even this unsustainable. Though the population has multiplied, virtually no social or economic development has taken place in the area. Literacy is an appalling 6% among girls and 36% among boys. Hundreds of children continue to be crippled by polio and other preventable diseases every year. Tuberculosis is rampant. So is malaria. Malnutrition is common among children and maternal and child mortality remains very high. And the human population continues to grow at a staggering annual rate of 3.2%

Why community conservation?

The most effective way to protect wild habitats the world over would be to make them inviolate. To do so all that needs to be done would be to arm every forest guard with a gun and with orders to shoot on sight any illegal intruder. For many years this is more or less how most Parks in India were managed. Ranthambhore was no exception. This method worked very well while human population was low and there were still some resources available in the buffer areas. But by the 1980s, the buffer areas had been totally devastated, human population was continuing to soar, and more and more people invaded the core area of the park. Beleaguered park managers met them with force. Park verses people conflicts escalated to the extent that, in 1982, villagers mobbed the then Park Director, leaving him for dead. He was lucky and survived; however, a few years later a Forest Guard was not so lucky.

Had the Park been threatened by poachers or members of the timber Mafia the government would have found it easy to enforce shoot on sight orders without creating an uproar over human rights. But it is the local inhabitants, the Park’s close neighbours, who now threaten the park’s survival. Even for a strong stable government it would be virtually impossible to use life-threatening force to keep impoverished people from extracting natural resources from the Park. For the past decade, India has been governed by coalition politics making it even harder to take a hard-line decision on environmental issues that are not popular.

Today, the Tigers of Ranthambhore and their precious habitat is under threat because of the demand for natural resources by the locals. Unless ways are found to reduce this demand by reducing population growth and finding alternative resources, the Park will inevitably be drowned in a sea of humanity. However, for an impoverished, illiterate, sickly mass of people to change the way they have lived for centuries is not going to happen easily. Only a multidimensional approach can help bring it about; an integrated program that incorporates health and family planning, alternate energy sources,

3 education, dairy development, afforestation, watershed management and income generation through handicraft development. This in essence is community conservation.

Prakratik Society:

The Prakratik Society, a registered charitable society, has been working around the Ranthambhore National Park for the past seven years. Through various integrated projects the Society aims at helping the local people understand their immediate environment and make necessary changes in the way they live their lives - adopting smaller family norms, education, using alternate energy sources by growing their own wood plantations and using bio-gas, stall feeding their cattle and improving their breed so that fewer animals are more productive; also provided by the Society is legal support to follow up and bring about conviction in wildlife crimes, the creation of a wildlife crimes information network, teaching Forest Guards how to make a tight case when catching poachers, training village leaders in democratic leadership and mobilising them towards environmental consciousness. All the programs of the Society are aimed at bringing about a social change that is environmentally conscious while at the same time improving the over all quality of life.

The threat to Ranthambhore and its tigers comes from its human neighbours. It is our belief that only a project that aims to find local solutions with local people can ensure its long-term survival.

The target area and beneficiary population:

A total population of over 200,000 people live along the edge of Ranthambhore National Park. Most of these people depend upon agriculture and animal husbandry for their livelihood. The population is represented by the Meena tribe at 32%, 25% are Gujjars, 13% are Berwas, 6% are Muslims, 5% are Jats and Rajputs and the rest are from other tribes.

Staff :

The Prakratik Society is made up of a team of 20 permanent staff and 16 honorary Village Health Workers (VHW’s). It is headed by Dr. G. S. Rathore who grew up in Ranthambhore, and who has witnessed the metamorphosis of the Park from being an unknown forest in the early seventies, to becoming India’s best known tiger reserve by the mid eighties. Dr. Rathore is the son of Fateh Singh Rathore, Ranthambhore’s most celebrated Park Director, and shares his father’s commitment to the Park and its people. He started his work with the Ranthambhore Foundation in 1989 in an honorary capacity as Field Director and continues to hold that position. As the Field Director, Dr. Rathore has guided and administered the Foundation’s pioneering field work in the region. He later joined Parivar Sanstha

4 (PSS), the Indian branch of Marie Stopes International in 1990, taking over their mobile health care project to serve the needs of thirteen villages along the northern periphery of the Park. The service now extends to 50 villages. In 1994, Dr. Rathore launched his own Prakratik Society which took over the PSS project and has expanded its scope. Dr. Rathore also works in an honorary capacity as Chairman of the Ranthambhore School of Art and Convenor of INTACH. Both these work to promote art and culture in the region.

Furthermore, his work in the field of Family Planning and Environment Conservation is well recognised and was given a certificate for outstanding work in the field of family planning by the State of Rajasthan on World Population Day, 11th of July 2000. He was also awarded the ESSO Honour for Tiger Conservation for Special Effort on February 2001, in Mumbai, by the Chief Election Commissioner Mr. M.S.Gill.

Various Prakratik Society Projects

A. Health & Family Planning :

General Out Patient Department :

During the year over 14,442 people were seen in the out patient department. The main ailments were cataract, diarrhoea, malaria, scabies, amoebiasis, boils, middle ear infectious, URTI, UTIs and skin disease (mainly ringworm infestations) and Gynaecological problems. Some people have also been given treatment for Pulmonary Tuberculosis using the short course chemotherapy for six-months.

These services were provided mainly at the Health Centre in Sherpur Village. Health care is also being provided to remote villages using two vehicles.

Speciality clinics :

Speciality-related health services were provided at the Sherpur Health centre. It has two Operating Theatres and two wards and enough extra space to house more than 200 patients during an eye camp. At this centre we were able to provide highly specialised surgical care using state of the art equipment to patients suffering from ailments ranging from kidney stones and hernia to prostrate enlargement and perforated eardrums. In this manner 29 surgeries were conducted in seven surgical camps. Specialised microsurgical reconstruction and other ENT surgeries were provided to another 35 people.

This centre is also the only institution providing much needed ophthalmic care to the people of the region. In the past year we have been able to provide highly sophisticated ophthalmic surgery to 1173 people. Nine Hundred and twenty of them were intra-occular lens implant surgeries for cataract, which is endemic throughout the community.

For the first time IOL implants were done using the Phako Emulsification technique were no sutures are applied and post operative recovery is much faster. This equipment was very kindly donated by the British High Commission in New Delhi. All visual acuity tests are now done by the use of an Autorefractometer (Carl Zeiss) making it simpler and faster. This equipment also enables us to do automated computerised pre-operative kerotometry for all patients undergoing IOL surgery making it more accurate to calculate the lens power or IOL implants.

5 The cataract surgery running cost is entirely supported by the Save the Tiger Fund of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in partnership with the Exxon Mobil Corporation, USA, along with some contribution from the local people in the form of service charges. Through a grant from the Irish Embassy we have been able to purchase a Peripheral Visual Field Analyser from Carl Zeiss for the monitoring of visual field loss special in glaucoma patients, an important tool for preventing blindness due to glaucoma. Glaucoma alone results in 50% of all blindness worldwide. This is the only testing facility available in a radius of 100kms averaging a total population of 4 million people.

Dr. Anna Grenfell, well known diabetic consultant from UK has been extremely kind to offer her services to conduct diabetic and hypertension clinics once a month. Hundreds of patients have benefited from her expertise. Dr. Grenfell has provided all diabetics dependent on Insulin injections free insulin supply which has been able to provide tremendous relief to such patients most of whom were finding it hard to afford the medicine.

The health centre is the only place where these facilities are available in the entire Sawai Madhopur district comprising a total population of 2 million people.

Gynaecology and Obstetrics:

Maternal mortality figures of over 700 deaths per hundred thousand live births a year (typically 8- 12 in western countries) in the region has been shocking. Despite considerable efforts this has not been reduced. This has been mainly due to the lack of any referral units at the block level, although difficult environment, cultural barriers, customs and beliefs have also played their role. Keeping this in mind Gynaecology services were started for the first time last year. However it suffered its major setback when the Gynaecologist and Anaesthetist left within a few weeks of starting. Due to the rural location of the clinic it has been extremely difficult to retain qualified manpower like Doctors most of whom prefer to stay in cities.

The service was again started in October 2001. Since then over 25 deliveries have been done. As the normal practice in the region has been to have the delivery done at home by untrained midwives it has been an uphill task to encourage institutional deliveries. A unique registration scheme of Rs.550 (Rs.2 per day) for the full period of the pregnancy has been started. This small amount provides full Antenatal checkups including preliminary ultrasound scans, blood tests, admissions and actual delivery charges. By this the person is encouraged to have regular antenatal checkups and delivery in the hospital. Already 25% of all the deliveries have been of high risk in . Timely intervention has saved all their lives.

This year through a grant from the Irish Embassy we were able to procure much needed lifesaving equipment to further the cause of emergency obstetric care.

The David Shepherd Conservation Foundation, UK, has supported the running cost for this, which is mainly the Salary of the Gynaecologist and Anaesthetist.

Family planning:

6 The Save the Tiger Fund of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation supports the entire family planning and immunisation program in partnership with the Exxon Mobil Corporation, USA. This has been the main thrust of the project. Although we distribute condoms (Nirodh) and oral pills (Mala N) supplied by the Government free of cost. Because these condoms are given free it is usually very difficult to quantify the free condom distribution in terms of user benefit as it is extremely difficult to access how much of it is actually used and how much of it is blown into balloons by children. We do try to minimise this by maintaining a person-to-person record of users.

However, we have been trying for some years to introduce a scheme were condoms and oral pills are sold to the beneficiary at a subsidised rate. As a result of this it can be said with certain conviction that the products were used for family planning only. For this we use the Pearl brand of oral pill and the ‘Masti’ brand of condoms.

Masti: During this period we have been able to sell 2981 packets of ‘Masti’ condoms to an average number of 125 beneficiaries per month. A total of 157 people used Masti during the year of which 26 did not continue regular use. Of those that used it regularly, 30 were new couples added during the year while 101 were those carried over from previous years.

Mala N (oral pills): 2947 cycles of Mala N were given to an average of 246 women per month A total of 281 women used Mala N during the year and 41 women stopped use during the year. Of those who continued to use Mala N, 81 were new additions during the year.

Pearl Oral Pill: During the year 117 women chose to use Pearl as their method of oral contraception. Of these 17 stopped in between and of the remaining 32 were new users. In total 1137 packets of pearl were distributed to an average of 95 women per month.

CuT: 43 women were protected through the use of CuT an Intrauterine Contraception Device. If all CuT insertions since the start of the program are taken into consideration approximately 200 women (2.7 %) of all eligible couple’s in the target area are protected using CuT. This has effectively averted 453 births considering the Age-specific birth rate in Rajasthan as published in - “Rajasthan - The Health Scenario by IIHMR, 1987.”

Sterilisation : During the year 222 people chose to use sterilisation as their method of family planning. Since the start of the program, 1,337 or 18.3 % of all eligible couples have been sterilised with the average age being 27.49 years. Considering Total Fertility Rates of Rajasthan as published in “Rajasthan - The Health Scenario by IIHMR, 1987 ” a total of 1,410 births have been averted as of 31st March 2002 and a cumulative total of 4826 births have been averted by sterilisation if total fertility of each woman is considered.

In this manner total eligible couple protection in the target area during the current year is approximately 2088 couples (28.6% through our effort, without considering Nirodh distribution and 34.9% if Nirodh is considered)

The net result being, eventually a reduced number of local inhabitants interacting with the Park. Effectively this means 10% less births are taking place in the target area. Nothing could mean more to the long term-survival of the tiger

Vaccination:

7

During this period 471 children were given BCG, 611 children OPV & DPT 1st dose, 592 children were given OPV & DPT 2nd dose, 582 children were given OPV & DPT 3rd dose and another 582 children were given Measles. Through this effort we have effectively been able to provide full immunisation cover to 45% of all the children under one year of age in the target population. Of the women seen for ante-natal check-ups 512 were given TT I and another 370 were given TT II.

School health :

Our team of Field Educators regularly visit different schools in the area to examine the children for signs of malnutrition, vit. A deficiency, anaemia and other ailments. At the same time they talk to the children about preventive health care with an emphasis on Malaria, Diarrhoea, Nutrition, vaccination, hygiene, sanitation and tuberculosis . During this year 194 such school visits were made in the area.

Information , education and communication (IEC) activities:

During this period a team of dedicated Health Workers supported by Village Health Workers (VHW’s) have regularly visited peoples homes organised small group meetings and mother’s meetings to explain through flip charts about preventive health care and family planning. Our team visited more than 37000 homes and organised 689 mother’s meetings and 648 group meetings.

Training for Village Health Workers :

Monthly training workshops are organised at our base office in Sawai Madhopur and later at the newly constructed clinic where all the VHWs and Field Educators come together and are taught by a doctor about the various aspects of preventive health care and family planning methods by a Doctor. In this way 12 VHWs were given basic training in primary health care with special emphasis on child nutrition, pregnancy and delivery, immunisation, first aid and family planning. These workers form the back bone of our outreach project.

B. Alternate energy sources:

This project is supported entirely by the Save the Tiger Fund of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in partnership with the Exxon Mobil Corporation, USA. As a result of this support we have been able to construct 50 bio-gas units in the villages situated along the periphery of the Park. Three new villages have been added this year.

Farmer Selection Process : First the farmers had to be selected to participate in this project. Farmers were identified according to land holding, number of cattle, number of family members, whether the cattle are stall fed and whether water was available near by. Once these criteria were fulfilled then the farmer was asked to dig the pit and provide a trolley of sand for construction as his contribution to the project. He was also required to provide all the labour other than the mason for the construction of the plants. Once this is done Prakratik Society provides trained masons along with all the materials such as bricks, cement, pipes, stoves and lamp.

In this manner 150 bio-gas units have been built over the past three years and they are all working well. As a result of this activity alone 150 families have become self sufficient in fuel.

8 Approximately 36 tons of fuel wood per year is saved considering a family consumes a daily average of 6.6kgs of wood.

This year three new villages have been added to this project bringing the total number of villages to 29. We have tried to ensure that at least 1 to 5 units are placed in all the 96 villages surrounding the National Park. This has been done so as to ensure that there is one example of alternate energy using bio-gas is being used in every village. This then forms the core group to help motivate others to join the program by seeing first hand this method of energy being used. As a result of this the demand for bio-gas units has increased and we are hoping to slowly increase the farmers contribution to ultimately reduce the subsidies. This year we will try to increase the contribution of the farmer from just labour to also include some raw materials worth Rs.1000 per plant.

The less wood being removed from the forest directly benefits the Park and the Tiger.

(See enclosed Map and chart for details of Bio-gas plant sight and beneficiary list)

C. Dairy Development:

The Society has been running a dairy demonstration farm in Sherpur village using agroforestry techniques for growing fuel wood and fodder. This farm houses 20 cross bred cows. Over 6,000 children and adults visit the farm to learn about better animal husbandry and fodder management techniques. The objective of this program is to encourage farmers to use stall-feeding and therefore eliminate the need for taking cattle into the Park. As a result of this program hundreds of cross bred cattle have been born around the Park with an increase in stall feeding practices. This project is partly supported by the Ranthambhore Foundation.

D. FORMAL EDUCATION:

On 2nd of April 02, Fateh Public School formally opened with a total of 110 children enrolled. Of these 30 are from villages around the National Park. These village children are provided a scholarship. Girls belonging to rural families, which have only two children one of whom is a girl, and have adopted sterilisation as the means of family planning are provided free education. By this we wish to further encourage small family norms and provide encouragement for girls to get educated.

The school is designed to become the main resource centre for the region providing much needed educational materials and facilities to as many children living around the Park. Efforts are on to develop a curriculum that takes into account the local environment and showing how small efforts can help save it.

The major share of the school building construction is being supported by the generous support of the David Shepherd Conservation Foundation, UK. It is planned to take the school up to the 12th Standard or pre-university level.

Efforts are on to link up our formal education effort with similar work being done by Tarun Bharat Sangh in Sariska Tiger Reserve. We plan to take two trips of village children from Ranthambhore to Sariska to help them understand environment related issues in two different situations and share

9 knowledge to enhance a better understanding of nature and its vital role in the future survival of mankind. The curriculum development and environmental aspect of the school is kindly supported by the Save the Tiger Fund of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in partnership with the Exxon Mobil Corporation, USA.

4. Legal Cell :

Considering the high rate of acquittal and slow follow up on wild life crime in and around the Park it was felt that a strong need existed for an active legal support system to help the Forest Department. To do this a lawyer has been put on a retainer-ship to combat wildlife crimes in the local courts. This has proved extremely useful with some convictions and better follows up on already registered cases. Through this cell training to forest guards has been provided to maintain a proper case diary at the time of investigating wildlife crimes so as to make it fool proof in court. This cell also fights, free of charge, all false cases registered against forest officials who have been involved in apprehending wildlife criminals. On many occasions criminals place counter charges of corruption, rape and theft on the apprehending officer to harass the official and prevent him from pursuing the case. This has been greatly welcomed by the Department and has been a moral booster for the staff.

She is currently dealing with 45 cases involving violation of the Wildlife Protection Act. These cases range from illegal poaching, grazing, mining, woodcutting and land encroachments. Some cases have been lingering on since 1981. Since she took over 17 cases have been decided in favour of Wildlife. Some of these cases have become landmark judgements. A few examples are listed below:

1. Rajesh Kumar v/s State – One Jeep was caught involved in poaching of Samber Deer and Hare. Padmini fought the case and it was decided in favour of Forest Department. For the 1st time ever in Ranthambhore the Court decided that, as vehicle was involved in poaching it couldn’t therefore be released. The vehicle was declared Forest Property.

2. Following cases (five appeals) in relation to use of forest property for commercial activity, were argued by Padmini and were decided in favour of Forest Department as District Court which decided that commercial activities cannot be allowed in National Park. This was upheld by the Rajathan High Court as well. a. State v/s b. State v/s Ram s/o Badri c. State v/s Brijmohan d. State v/s Dilip e. State v/s Sitaram s/o Mulchand

3. State v/s Pratap, Mamnalal, Omprakash, Nar Singh and Jeetmal: These people were caught constructing a Temple inside reserve forest area. The case was argued and the accused were penalised with Rs.50 and seven days simple imprisonment

10 4. State v/s Ramprasad - Ramprasad and Rashid were caught while taking away freshly cut trees of Anogisis Pedula (dhok), which forms the major part of the foliage in Ranthambhore. The case was argues and the accused were penalised with Rs. 50 and seven days simple imprisonment

5. Shailendra Singh v/s State and Ishaq Ali - Shailendra Singh is employed as a Ranger with the Forest Department. He caught Ishaq Ali taking away stones illegally mined inside the National Park. Ishaq Ali filed complaint in the court that he was falsely implicated. Padmini fought on behalf of Shailendra Singh and the court decided in favour of Mr Shailendra Singh and quashed the criminal proceeding against him. This was a case were a false complaint was lodged by the accused against the apprehending forest officer in an effort to harass the officer. The usual complaint made by the accused in court is that because he did not bribe the forest officer the officer had falsely implicated him by making a false case. Such cases are a common occurrence and the officers usually fight all such cases at their personal expense. It is one of the common reasons why many officers don’t take strict action against wildlife criminals.

The legal cell is kindly supported by Care for the Wild, UK and Tiger Action Fund for India, USA.

Conclusion:

It is only when man’s most pressing needs for food, education, health care and employment are met that it is possible for him to consider saving the environment. For most people who are struggling to eke out a daily existence, looking into the distant future seems almost impossible.

In its effort to protect the National Park, the Prakratik Society aims to first address the issues of survival of the Park’s local inhabitants by providing much needed health care and family planning, environment education, alternate energy sources and income generation through better animal husbandry management, afforestation and formal education.

Combined efforts of good community based programs and better enforcement have once again created a safe haven for the Tiger. This year after one decade Ranthambhore has ten new cubs. Their survival would result in the Park reaching its maximum carrying capacity.

The Prakratik Society has learnt by demonstrating concern for the well being of the local population, while simultaneously respecting and addressing their immediate needs, the journey towards ensuring the survival of Ranthambhore and her Tiger has begun. Today an increasing number of locals are participating in these environmental conservation programs, which will increase in number, and will continuously rely on the symbiotic nature of the relationship.
