Annual Report 2013-14

PREFACE
Its my pleasure to present annual report of Dishantar for the fiscal year
2013-14. I remember starting point of our journey long back in 2002 with
intervention in one village and now we have intervened across three blocks of
Ratnagiri district. We have initiated our social contribution from hamlets of
Katkari community. We have been supporting them in strive for economic and
social development. Today, after 10 prolonged years, we can see some
noteworthy changes in their hamlets. For instance, Nirbade Katkari hamlet has
turned out to be an ideal Katkari Hamlet today. Not only materialistic but we can
also see the change in behavior pattern of the community. Community was
previously featured as drunkard. Today, 95% community members are free from
liquor abuse. All the children above 3.5 years go to Z.P. schools. 3 youngsters
have opted for higher education; one of them is studying software engineering
degree. 94% households have concrete houses through Indira Awas Yojana. 6%
houses are in the process of construction under schemes for Adivasi Community.
Dishantar is trying to make them technology friendly by providing low cost zero
maintenance and membrane technology based water purifier and solar lanterns.
While taking up wide range of activities like I Love My Planet, Jara Hath
Tum Badhana, Humko Manki Shakti Dena, Ek Prayas Gaon Vikas & Aadishakti,
Dishantar predominantly continued its presence in each of the activity and also
endeavoured to enable creativity and quality in each of the activity. This is one of
the several reasons for everyone who is affiliated with Dishantar would feel
proud. Institutional Donors like Goodlass Nerolac Charitable Trust, Konkan Krishi
Education & Research Institute & Sahyadri Education Institute and Programme
Support Partners like Shree Siddhivinayak Ganpati Mandir Trust & Shree
Vitthalrao Joshi Charities Trust were the pioneer partners contributed greatly in
laying foundation of Dishantar this year.
I am thankful to the Board members who commit themselves readily for
ensuring transparent and accountable governance of Dishantar. I appreciate
support of all the partners, volunteers and team of Dishantar who are
stakeholders of prestigious “Dhyas Social Excellence Award 2013” of Dhyas
Social Foundation, Pune for our contribution in social transformation for
sustainable, participatory, democratic peoples‟ development based on freedom,
equity and justice. This award is the result of the trust, confidence and
magnanimous support provided by all of them.

Sanitation Campaign on Guhagar Sea Beach:
Dishantar has been
implementing Vasundhara
Samruddhi Programme. This
programme aims at every possible
action for the prosperity of our own
earth. Coastlines of Konkan have
become favorite places for the
tourists from all over nation. Many
international tourists are also seen
on these coastlines. Hence, to
promote awareness about
maintaining hygiene and
cleanliness on such tourist places,
Dishantar had organized this

campaign on Guhagar Sea-Beach. Guhagar Nagar Panchayat, Balsagar Yuva
Manch, Chikhli, 75 volunteers, Nagar Panchayat Elected Representatives,
Revenue Officer and Staff of Revenue Dept. along with Sanitation labors
participated in this campaign. The campaign succeeded in collection of 2 tons of
garbage mounds.
Umbrella & Books Distribution to Katkari School-going Children:
Dishantar has been
implementing Helping
Hand for Underprivileged
Community Programme.
Under this programme,
umbrellas & story books
have been distributed
amongst school going
children from Dalvatne &
Nirbade Katkari hamlets.
The objective was to
diffuse the reading
culture amongst small
children as well as to
make the children
familiar with great
people & enhance their
general knowledge.
Course Books Distribution to 56 bright students from economically weaker
sections in remote areas:
Students from
remote areas of Konkan
have thirst for education.
Unfortunately, many a
times, poverty becomes
the major hurdle to
quench this thirst. To
support the bright but
poor students to overcome
this hurdle, this year we
have provided free of cost
course books to Junior
College students. Shree

Siddhivinayak Ganpati Mandir Trust, Prabhadevi has supported this initiative by
making the books available free of cost. As a result, book banks have become
functional in 4 colleges from Guhagar & Chiplun block.
Women‟s Meet:
Adishakti initiative of
Dishantar is being
implemented to make
women aware about their
inherent power and
developing their vision for
being real stakeholders in
family as well as society. As
a part of this initiative,
Women‟s meet has been
organized in Adre village of
Chiplun block. The
facilitation was about the
rights, responsibilities, laws,
health and livelihood issues
for women. Response was
good and the meet resulted in formation of „Sakhi‟ Women Development
Committee in Adre village. This committee is formed to work for women & child
welfare and other development issues of the village.
Free S.T. Pass to bright students from economically weaker sections of
society:
As mentioned
previously, poverty is the
major hurdle for students
from economically weaker
sections. When we have
implemented free course
book distribution
programme, we were briefed
about this issue. There are
many students who travel 8-
30 kms. from remote areas
and cannot afford the
travelling cost. Many of them
were in a state to stop their
education. We have
managed to help 30 such
students from Rampur and
Anjanvel college. We have
![Page 6: Dishantar Sanstha Annual Reportdishantar.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Annual-Report-English-13... · Its my pleasure to present annual report of Dishantar for the ... 94% households](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030507/5ab5947b7f8b9ab7638ceec4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

made provisions for their second term travel cost. For this purpose, we have
utilized Dhyas Social Excellence Award amount of Rs. 51,000/- and Konkan
Agricuture Education & Research Institute has also supported this initiative. Team
Dishantar is satisfied by this action as we have brought programme for target
group and not target group for programme.
Interface on health issues with Teenage Girls:
Adolescent girls in rural areas
live predominantly without voices,
options and opportunities to increase
their social and economic potential
which could advance themselves,
their families and their communities.
Enabling girls to be confident
decision-makers within their homes
and in society can best be identified
through the articulation of
transformations in thought and action.
This interface was first step towards
this transformation. Psychologist from
Vitthalrao Joshi Trust facilitated the
dialogue with girls. The focus was on
health, hygiene, diet and exercise for
health living.
Health & Dental Check-up camp & Iron, calcium Tonic, toothpaste &
toothbrush Distribution to primary students of Z.P. Schools from Guhagar
block:
Oral health is not only
important to your
appearance and sense of
well-being, but also to your
overall health. Cavities and
gum disease may contribute
to many serious conditions,
such as diabetes and
respiratory diseases.
Untreated cavities can also
be painful and lead to
serious infections. Studies
are also currently
examining whether there is
a link between poor oral
health and heart disease
and between poor oral
health and women delivering pre-term, low birth rate (PLBW) babies. It has also
been observed that 90% children have cavities in 70% teeth in our district.
![Page 7: Dishantar Sanstha Annual Reportdishantar.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Annual-Report-English-13... · Its my pleasure to present annual report of Dishantar for the ... 94% households](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030507/5ab5947b7f8b9ab7638ceec4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Annual Report 2013-14
[6]
Hence, considering significance of physical and oral health, we have organized
health & dental check-up camp for Z.P. primary school children. Expert doctors
from Vitthalrao Joshi Trust along with Dr. Robin Davis from U.K. have examined
the children. Iron, Calcium Tonics and a gift of toothpaste and toothbrush have
fascinated the children. Children who required follow up treatment or major
surgeries were attended further through follow up services by Vitthalrao Joshi
Trust.
Distribution of Domestic Water Purifiers to Katkari Community Households
under “Pilot Project of Safe Drinking Water”:
We have been working
with Nirbade Rajawadi hamlet
of Katkari community from last
10 years. After 10 years of
prolonged intervention, we
can see the community
adopting civilization with
noteworthy developments. Still
miles to go… We have seen
that every year they suffer
from water transmitting
diseases like cholera, typhoid,
hepatitis A and dysentery
amounting to expenses around
3000-5000 per family. Being economically weaker, diseases increase the
borrowings of the community. Hence we have tried to make them technology
friendly by providing low cost zero maintenance and membrane technology
based water purifier solution on this routine problem. 19 households were given
Domestic Water Purifiers (AKRUTI model). Sahyadri Education Institute has
supported this initiative.
„General Health Camp, HB check up & guidance from Health Experts‟ for
Women:
Women are the key persons in
bringing up future generation. Shoulders
having the responsibility of shaping
empowered future generation must be
empowered. It‟s been observed that
women whether they are from urban
areas or rural areas, keep on ignoring
their own health issues although they are
very caring and sensitive about the
![Page 8: Dishantar Sanstha Annual Reportdishantar.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Annual-Report-English-13... · Its my pleasure to present annual report of Dishantar for the ... 94% households](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030507/5ab5947b7f8b9ab7638ceec4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

health of their family members. Hence, we have organized general health camp,
HB check up for women in Adre and Moravne village. Gynecologist and
Counselor facilitated on issues like diet, exercise and also resolved the health
concerns raised by the participants. This was not a one day formal event. The
follow up consisted complete body check up for the participant women at
Walavalkar Hospital by paying nominal fees. Response was quite good. Women
also availed the follow up initiative of complete check up.
Distribution of Solar Lamps to Katkari Community Households:
Although, electricity is available
power cut is the usual trauma in remote
areas and it leads to regular
inconvenience of all family members
especially women and children. It also
results in accidents like snake-bite,
scorpion-bite, sometimes resulting in
human loss. Considering this issue, we
have distributed solar lamps to 19 Katkari
Community Households. Lioness Club,
Chiplun supported this initiative.
