SES Celebrates 30th Anniversary

It is always great pride to see your child grow up, embrace a good value system, seek

inspiration and aspire for higher and achieve more than what you ever thought was possible.

My friends, SES is one such child; a child who has made all of us proud not only just by its

achievements but as much by its humility, grace, value system and courtesy.

SES would like to thank many people. First, of course are you, the SESian and the ex-SESian.

You embraced high aspirations and a great value system and we are proud that you have

proved that a plausible impossibility is better than a convincing possibility. Others are NGO

fraternity partners, donors, government agencies, consultants, etc.

FOREWARD

In its 30 year of work with the communities, SES took major steps in the Uttar Pradesh with new

projects and analyzing challenges of the region. As we are in our 30 years of work in the Uttar Pradesh ,

there is a scope of more strategic discussions in the coming year or so. The continued focus on

Livelihood, mitigation, healthcare, climate change , disaster mitigation, skill development and capacity

building will certainly remain the core for future journey.

It is heartening to see more SES participation in various policy level dialogues organized by the

Government and donors, which enables SES to bring in the much needed community voice. As an

organization, it is very satisfying to be able to facilitate the process of people speaking for their life and

entitlements.

The report summarizes the sincere efforts of SES team and communities during the year and I hope our

readers find it of good learning. We remain grateful to all our friends and supporters for their support

and solidarity.

WHERE WE WORK

Amongst all the remote areas in India, SES has

started with one of the most challenging

places for its work. Eastern Part of Uttar

Pradesh which lags behind in social l &

economic indicator in comparison of developed

part of state as well as country These parts are

affected by regular floods lead to loss of crops

which push the farmers into debt and add to

the shortage of food resulting in poor health conditions of people. The problem doesn’t end here;

rather, it marks the beginning of complex problem. People, who have some kind of financial instability,

migrate to cities in the quest of better job opportunities and livelihood. People, who don’t migrate, keep

juggling with cultivation in the flood prone area. The havoc of flood leave the land deprived of fertility

and farmers baffled in extreme poverty. Eastern district has been a victim of regular floods for a long

time. The key strategies to address issue are formation of CBOs, raising awareness & strengthening

them through training, meeting, information sharing, linking with PRI, government’s schemes,

agricultural institution & market, lobbying, advocacy & technological support with non- violent

approach. Through the formation of various groups, beneficiaries would be trained to prepare

themselves for the after effects of natural disaster. SES works in 31 districts including state capital of

Lucknow &Jhansi. It includes rural & urban areas of those districts.

WHAT WE DO

The mission of SES is to promote sustainable development. In all of our projects, we aim to mitigate and

build resilience to flood by increasing food security, promoting education, improving health, water,

sanitation and hygiene through empowering and advocating for community member. In the process of

empowering, SES has established Community Based Organizations (CBOs) made up of individuals who

represent all parts of society (irrespective of of caste, religion or gender), especially the most

vulnerable and marginalized. SES tries to amplify the voices of the marginalized members of society,

like women, children and the elderly by integrating them in all project activities. SES also trains young

community members about integrated development. SES is also engaged with emergency relief during

natural disasters like flood and drought. At regular interval, we conduct research and documentation to

improve the effectiveness of development programs and community participation.

VISION: Working For a Society Where Everyone Achieve Personal Happiness

&Well-being.

MISSION: To bring social change involving knowledge sharing, capacity building,

experimental learning and entrepreneurial development in sustainable ecological

manner.

COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS: Community participation, without discrimination by gender,

caste or religion, is fundamental to SES's work, and establishing Community Based Organizations

(CBOs) is a critical component of SES work. CBOs enable villagers to find solution to their problem and

direct their own development and involve the entire community in decision making processes.

SELF-HELP GROUPS (SHGs) are group of empowered local women economically and socially through

vocational and leadership trainings.

FARMER'S CLUBS are networks of local farmers that share technology, information and resources in

order to improve regional agriculture. They also advocate collectively for better access to government

schemes.

YOUTH GROUPS are group of boys and girls who discuss, consult and counsel on their reproductive

sexual and reproductive activity through various activities at Gender Resource Centre

PARENTS GROUPS are group of parent of those youth who are members of youth group. They were

sensitized by staff. They mentor them on various social issues especially on sexual & reproductive

health as well as prevention of child marriage.

ADOLESCENT GROUPS are of adolescent boys and girl who are eager to find out solution to their age

related problem & take available service at local level.

Through above groups SES covers 10239 populations. These groups are executed through group

representative, community resource person, peer mentors etc. To get facilities and services,

information their knowledge and skills are enhanced through farmer field school, gender resource

centre and farmer support centre. These groups have played crucial role in activating panchayat

committee such as Village Health Sanitation & Nutrition Committee and organizing Village Health

Nutrition Day etc. regularly.

THEMATIC AREA

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY: 80 % of population in our working area are engaged in

agriculture and animal husbandry provide food as well as an economic livelihood to the majority of

community member in the area. Frequent floods lead to crop failures and destroy grazing lands for

livestock. To help farmers cope with these harsh climates, SES implements training and capacity

building along with sustainable agriculture and climate resilient practices. These practice sensure

better production and enhancement in income.

HEALTH: In target area of SES, health issues are common and difficult to address. Many villagers lack

access to basic medical care as the few hospitals in rural are often too far away to walk to. Moreover,

many water borne diseases such as diarrhea and acute encephalitis are affecting community members

from different age group. To address these gaps in health services, SES has initiated community action

plan where community members themselves demand facilities and services from respective institution

and authority.

WATER, SANITATION & HYGIENE: Water security is an essential need for every human being . To

ensure that communityhas a safe and accessible fresh water source, SES had made effort for

infrastructure and teaches villagers ways to make water usage more sustainable. Community is also

sensitized about sanitation and motivated to adopt proper sanitation and good hygiene practices.

EDUCATION: Many children living in the Thar are unable to go to school for a variety of reasons. Often

there is not a school building close enough to a child's village or children, especially young girls, are

kept from school so that they can fetch water for their family's household

CLIMATE CHANGE & DISASTER RISK REDUCTION: Generally, climate change is defined as a process of global warming, in part attributable to the ‘greenhouse gases’ generated by human activity. Irrespective of region, changes are both global, as with rising sea levels attributable to ice-melt, and local, such as changes in rainfall patterns. In the target region Of SES, it has disturbed basic source of their livelihood i.e agriculture in form of flood & changing pattern of rainfall. Responses to climate change are to reduce the level or rate of change (mitigation) or manage its consequences (adaptation). Local people have tried to adapt in current scenario. In case of paddy, SES inspired community to do early paddy cultivation to avoid loss by flood, also using SRI technique.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: SES believes that working directly with the communities and their

development has an important place. Keeping this in view, SES works directly with the communities,

supports the formation of People's organizations, and focuses on the most vulnerable sections of rural

populations.

TARGET GROUP

WOMEN AND GIRLS: Due to gender disparity in rural areas, women and girls have been left behind in

community development in our work areas. Their participation and capacity building is an important

part of our work. Because, SES believes they are backbone of family as well as society.

YOUTH:Youth contributes to large portion of Indian population. Society can take benefit of their

positive energy for constructive development.

FARMER: They are producer of food of world but they are largely ignored at various level. SES is trying

to empower small and marginal farmer to live a quality life and fight out with any kind of disaster and

shock.

CHILD:SES considers them future of the nation. SES works for their protection, development and rights.

ELDERLY: Older populations of Thar live under extremely challenging conditions and have great

amount of traditional knowledge and wisdom. SES works for their leadership development in

programme.

DISABLED:We also focus on population who are disabled by birth or accident. SES tries to integrate

them in mainstream.

PROGRESS MADE IN 2015-16

PROMOTING SUTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD IN FLOOD PRONE AREA

Over 80% of villagers in our target areadepend on agriculture as their primary sourceof food and

income. Moreover, many households keep animals like cow andgoats to generate additional funds.

Consequently, not only flood and crop failure disrupt a family's food supply, they also jeopardize rural

economic development. To help improve food security in the area, SES uses traditional knowledge with

modern advancements to help farmers improve their land and make small-scale agriculture more

sustainable and fruitful venture.

2 21 seeds banks were established during year 2015-16. 140

f farmers have adopted climate resilient practices.

Since women have significant contribution in various step of agriculture. 846 community members

have participated in 14 farmer field day. 319 farmers have participated in 6 various exposure on

various crop pattern and technology.

CASE STUDY 1 : ENHANCED INCOME WITH PRODUCTION OF YAM WITH INTENSIFICATION

The Yam is one of the most important crops grown in India. It is grown in east part of India. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa are major Yam growing states in the country. It can be grown under a wide range of climatic conditions. It grows well under mild climate without extreme heat or cold or excessive rainfall. It can be grown only as a Kharif season. Siddharthnagar district (in U.P.) lies in Tarai region of Himalaya. The district is affected by flood every year. The area is known as rice bowl of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Around 80 % of famers are small and marginal farmer. Most of farmers are dependent on rice and wheat production. Water logging and flood affect their crop. Such condition leads to suffering of whole family. SES has demonstrated Yam by using intensification method with 48 farmers in Kharif 2015 – 2016.

Temperature: The ideal temperature requirement of the Yam crop is 25-30 C for growth and Development

Soil: Yam can be grown on all type of soils. It is said that black soils are best for its successful production. Good drainage, weeds free plots and presence of organic matter favor production of good crop. It cannot be grown in alkaline or low-lying marshy lands. The optimum Ph is 5.8-6.5. The soil of targeted cluster is sandy loam and Clay loams both.

Selection of Farmer: Demonstration of Yam has been done in 3.0 acres with 48 farmers in 12 villages in Jogiya block of Siddharthnagar district. The information was shared through farmer club meetings and training. With consent of members of farmer club interested, farmers were selected for cultivation of Yam by using intensification. Soil: In selected area two type of soil are prevalent sandy loam and Clay loam. Variety of Yam: Gajendra - 1 variety of Yam seed is has identified for commercial production of Yam for all selected farmers. Sowing of Yam seed:- Kharif Season: Sowing of Yam seed in first week of month June Methodology Adopted by Farmers:

For this deep ploughing at first time with mixing dung manure. At second ploughing field is made even.

Seed treatment was done timely. Places where moisture is less in soil, irrigation is done. Regular supply of water was provided

to germinate the seeds.

The distance between two plants and two rows was maintained 50x50 (250 – 300 gram seed) centimeter.

The distance between two plants and two lines was maintained by Marker instrument.

NEW METHOD ADOPTED IN 2015-16

Production of Pigeon pea + Maize by using pruning & intensification method Production of Kharif Onion by using ridge method Used of agro – instrument with paddy cultivation such as Drum seeder, Marker & Konoweeder The first time farmers were produced Turmeric by using ridge & intensification method

ACTIVITIY PICTURES

PREVENTING CHILD MARRIAGE

The unpredictable climate and rampant malnutrition and various infectious diseases like

malaria,tuberculosis and encephalitis create numerous health problems for the people of the

region.Community members are very vulnerable to developing health issues due to poor living

conditions and the remoteness of households’ .it makes difficult to access care, treatment or medication

especially for women and children. Newborns often begin life undernourished and underweight;

women and girls suffer from poor nutrition and infections, complicating pregnancy. The rural

communities lack basic healthcare facilities so villagers have to travel hours by bus to reach a hospital.

Siddharthnagar district has high prevalence of child marriage. SES has started working on the issue in

Shohratgarh&Naugarh block of district. Project aims to prevent Child Marriage as an Approach to

ORANGE- OBESITY REDUCTION AND AWARENESS THROUGH GROUP

EDUCATION CAMAPIGN

A country where 270 million people live below the 'poverty line', obesity seems to be a

distant issue, meant for the rich kids of first world. But India is under siege: junk food,

alcohol and sedentary lifestyle are leading us to silent self-destruction, making one in every

five Indian men and women either obese or overweight. We have started ORANGE

campaign in schools of Lucknow. The fund for campaign was raised through online

crowdfunding plateform ketto. This campaign focused on creating mass awareness about

obesity among children to act as change agents for better lifestyles across India. SES is

motivated to stop obesity before it becomes menace for the country. Programme was

intended to reach among school children in Lucknow city.The school approach aims to

reach out to 2,000 urban school children, aged 6–17 years, covering 10 schools from

Lucknow.

PROTECTING CHILD RIGHTS

Children are the future hope and get better opportunities to enhance their all-round development. Rights are those conditions that ensure the opportunity to enjoy the fundamental needs so as to enhance one's dignity and prosperity. Despite its provision as the fundamental rights in our constitution, condition of child rights are not very good. Constitution of India accords rights to children as citizens of the country, and in keeping with their special status the State has even enacted special laws. The Constitution, promulgated in 1950, encompasses most rights included in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy.

The Key purpose of project supported by Childline India Foundation is responds to needs of

children and links them to long-term services. Last Year , CHILDLINE Siddharthnagar’s

PARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT OF WATER SECURITY PLAN

Picture 11: Jal Budget Presentation by Village Water and Sanitation Committee Member

The Drinking Water Security Pilot was launched by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation

(MDWS), Government of India in 2011 to address the emerging challenges of rapidly depleting

groundwater, increased geo-genic and anthropogenic contamination and rapid system degradation from

poor operation and maintenance practices, threating the sustainability of access. The objective of the Pilot

was to ‘achieve drinking water security in a holistic manner’, by combining the top down inter-ministerial

coordination of water resource management with bottom-up coordination led by Gram Panchayats (GPs). A

total of 15 over-exploited Blocks across 10 states with a total population of 2.25 million showing alarming

levels of groundwater depletion were selected for the Pilot. The financing for the activities came from

existing allocations under the “Sustainability” and “Support” components of the Government’s own Rural

Drinking Water Program (NRDWP) and various other schemes of different line departments.

Picture 12: Video Show at village Level

The objective of the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) comprised of i) providing technical activities on

project design and implementation, ii) developing master trainers for community management of water

resources, and iii) technical support for monitoring to measure performance. The scope encompassed four

pillars essential to achieving drinking water security: (i) institutional sustainability to enhance local

government institutional capacity to manage the process, (ii) source sustainability to ensure sustainability of

the drinking water source, (iii) system sustainability to ensure water quality and regular operation and

maintenance of supply system, and (iv) improving access to sanitation and reducing open defecation,

resulting in improved water quality.
