PREFACE CINI's pioneering activities in the treatment and prevention of child malnutrition over the past 3 decades is well known. The children's ward demarcated for severely malnourished cases in Behala Balananda Hospital and the follow up treatment at the Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) at the CINI main campus in Daulatpur started in 1974, still continues to serve the villages and slum areas. Over these years, though malnutrition continued to be a major issue, our own government's response has been to expand the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme activities under Women and Child Development Ministry, to each and every village and slum area of our country. Till recently there has been almost no action from the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (H & FW), to improve or allocate more resources at government health centres or hospitals, to reduce malnutrition and its effects. Under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) of the Ministry of H & FW, in West Bengal, CINI has been requested to expand its model of NRC in four Block Primary Health centres and one Subdivision hospital of four districts. This has been a singular example of influencing government policy, as a result of our pioneering effort, helped by various donors in India and around the world since 1974. Also under health, CINI's pioneering efforts in HIV/AIDS, with the launching of its first project in 1996 (year), has led the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), under the Ministry of H & FW to grant us the status of State Resource Centre for HIV/AIDS. CINI is now implementing the community based “Link Workers Scheme” (LWS), covering Burddhaman, Purba Medinipur, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Uttar Dinajpur districts with a total population of 12000 high risk group, 3000,000 other vulnerable population. There are recent report where LWS workers are now working closely with local panchayat leaders, securing travel costs for villagers going for voluntary testing and counseling for HIV/AIDS. In addition to health and nutrition activities for women and children, CINI has expanded its activities to education and protection since the early nineties, ensuring that all children who are out of school are identified and enrolled in local government schools. With the aim of correcting the gap between male and female literacy, certain donors in India and abroad with a particular mention of IIMPACT (an organization of IIM alumini), have sanctioned projects to CINI to enroll and retain girls in schools. In the current year, 23,659 boys and girls are being helped by CINI to be enrolled and retained in schools in different parts of WB and Jharkhand with support from various donors in India and abroad. The “Child and Woman Friendly Community “ (CWFC) approach adopted by CINI to integrate nutrition, health, education and protection services in rural and urban communities, now cover indirectly 5 million people in West Bengal and Jharkhand. This has been possible through generous grants from our own government, Indian Trusts and foreign donors, who believe in our policy of integrating such services during the critical period of the human life cycle, i.e pregnancy, the first two years of life and adolescence. Sustainability is ensured with participation of women of local self help groups, the elected representatives and government service providers such as health workers, teachers and other development workers. With these significant and path breaking achievements, we close another year of our activities, due to generous donor support and dedication of my CINI colleagues. Dr. Samir N.
