Hi! Dear All,

As you all know we are working for rural welfare with the target of reducing migration, to do same we need to uplift the living standard of life there. So we took two basic area one Economic Empowerment and second Educational Development as main activities to achieve same.

So Just one year Back on 7th July 2007 (07-07-07) we started our first model project to test our thinking and refine that on rural platform also to create one example. Its the Day one year back when our First team Visited Kaligaad Gram Shabha and Kulanikhal Inter collage with a dream, during last one year of project we discussed lots of ideas over internet with you guys, did lots of visit, tried to implement lots of ideas there, some got success results and some didn't even click, we learned from mistakes and tried to overcome them with few new ideas and innovation and Now in one Year we are through with our structure and Master Plan. Please find the brief details:

1)      Structural Development Plan for Rural School Kids: Here we interacted with Kids and found that they are too low in confidence and information about future possibilities. So we decided to do that in following manner:
a.       Motivation Sessions and one to one counseling so that they start speaking out
b.      Career Guidance on general and one to one basis
c.       Monthly general awareness sessions/quizzes
d.      Partial Sponsorship to Poor cum Promising Kids and increasing that to Full Sponsorship if they perform in next session.
e.       Yearly Interview of last year Sponsored Kids to check improvement before renewing sponsorship.
f.       Training and career path designing for all 12th pass kids as per skills and interests with one member ownership as remote guardian.
g.      Distance learning option will be provided to girls.
2)      Rural School development Plan:
a.       Identifying school needs
b.      Requesting Govt. to arrange the same.
c.       Small and urgent Items need to be provided to school.
d.      These items like Books, stationary, Craft Items, Charts, sports goods etc will be donated by members else will be procured as second hand or new.
e.       Teacher's interaction and Gift distribution to motivate them.
3)      Village Co-operative: This will be the backbone of economic empowerment. And this will be revenue generator for other social well fare overhead. When full functional then co-operative earning will be used for social welfare activities and FS fund will be used in new areas. During our visits we studied their Land, Agri Patterns, Marketing and found that they were more into cash crops and not able to market their stuff properly due to far markets, no transportation and less awareness on marketing. We decided to form cooperative and plan their agriculture on Syara, Ukhad and Sgwada as per market demand. We found local native stuff is required among local uttaranchali migrants in Delhi , Mumbai and Lucknow where they are 8 Mn total. So if Farmers go for native stuff thru collective farming then bulk quantities can be marketed to These cities in Low cost and a effective supply chain with less dealers can make cost effective supplies to these
cities. For the same we formed cooperative, purchased 22 products and participated in Trade fair to study Market… 10000 Foot falls at our stall.. 1350 were interested to buy… 87% interested in Gaith… 84% interested in Madwa, 78% in Bhatt and 73% sukse… means as per our calculation 60000 Tons of stuff will be required per year among the Uttaranchali Migrants… so in that process for 16000 Uttaranchali village we will opening 1000 Cooperatives in whole uttaranchal and will be their crop planner, harvesting planner, new methods consultant as well as marketing front-end. First cooperative has been formed with 3 Villages Kaligaad Talla, Rauta and Rautakholi… 25 Farmers signed and 3 Tons of grains and stuff are expected in Nov with our gurantee to them if crop fails then FS will provide compensation. 6 more villages will be joining this cooperative in Oct-Nov and we are expecting 12 Tons of Grains Next April. We will go for Processed food,
Fruits/Vegetables, Juices and Herbs in next phase.
4)      Micro Financing of Self employment: Without interests loans will be given to the guys who wanna start small scale business in village itself and they have to return the amount is small installment. Till now no success but we have plan to take Knitting / Sewing / Processed food trainers with us during our visit and give training to females. After then each one of them will be given equipments and we will market their production. Same industry will be part of Village Co-operative.
5)      Local Tourism: This is another way to get economic empowerment. Uttaranchal Tourism is already promoted by UA govt. but same is not inline with development of locals and passing the benefit of locals as all investor are not local and they take benefit of that tourism. We Plan to make one tourism pkg in each location where we will launch the project… Villagers will be trained to take care of Tourist… and they will convert their houses in low cost temp guest houses… each set will have tracking, fishing, climbing, Camp Stay, Site visits, Jungle stay, Local food as well as other foods and Saraya/Jhumelo/ MasuBaaj Show….. First such track has been identified, Team has been prepared with 6 guys to take care of tourist but waiting for 1st booking. Each booking will be done in 5K INR per pax for 7 Day 6 Night and will pass 1.5K INR benefit to Villagers per Pax.
6)      Business opportunities for members: We will have following business opportunities to offer first to our members else to any investors:
a.      105 retails stores need to be opened in Delhi , Mumbai and Lucknow .
b.      Transport required to ship stuff from cooperative to Stores.
c.       Cold Storages near by co-operative locations.
d.      Tour agents who can provide us booking for our tour pkgs.
e.       Printers who can print our stationery/pamphlet s/banners/ DisplayBoards.
f.       Herbs dealers who can buy herbs produced by cooperatives.
g.      Processed food R&D
7)      Personality development/ Moral Education School in Villages: We are not Running that school as normal school.... we wanna teach kids those portions which they are not getting in their regular school... Like Practical and Spoken English through Poems and usual words/sentences. ... Calculation thru nice stories and Quiz... Moral edu to tell them what's good and whats bad since childhood... Games to improve personality and analytical power.... and same can't be found in any one book.. We need to design this course keeping kids mentality in mind.. One such school we already started in Kaligaad Talla Village , teacher has been appointed from Local Village itself and paid monthly by us. Course designing is still going on.
8)      Nirashrit Pension and Help Program: This is typical NGO type program has following activities:
a.       Monthly Pension to old guys( above 60) who don't ve anyone to look after them, same guys can be adopted by any member for pension.
b.      If any Org want to distribute Blankets of household stuff in rural area then we extend our village network to them.
c.       If anyone want to go for Med Camp in rural area then we extend our village network to them.
d.      If any one want to donate money to any poor family for their Girls marriage then we provide contacts from our village network with verification.
9)      Oldies Education Program: we appointed one Teacher in each village to teach oldies and we give salary to them along with bonus if one oldies start reading.
10) Birth Day Plant: At few places our Hills are without Trees….. to stop them from more degradation and to preserve Watar/Soil we need to plant Trees…. "Banjh" / "Akhroot" tree would be the good for this Cause…. So when ever anyone has his BDay and wanna plant few trees… He/She may give the cost for Trees and Plantation …. And Some Yearly amount to Students for watering and taking care of those Tree… we will assign one kid from the village or School to plant trees and take care of them… he/she will send you yearly report about those trees… and due to all activity will be at common place so when ever we will visit the place we will bring snaps for u…
11) Hire and get the thing done: This is our learning, earlier we tried to perform all task thru volunteers but didn't get success. Now what ever task comes to us, we try to do the same with Volunteer, if not getting volunteer or he is delaying the result… we go for "hire and get the things done" model. Where we already employed one Guy for Delhi Office and monthly visits, second guy in Village for monitoring and collecting inputs. Same way if not getting any stuff thru donation then we will purchase that, if any service is required like translation or training den we can go for paid model in place of waiting for volunteer. Actually our idea is to get the things done at any cost, we can't delay the project due to low or no resources.
12) Replication of Above all: This is the Man Key of the Project, we are currently doing the project is one Gram Shabha and target is to cover whole Uttaranchal. So we will go for replication model. Actually we will do all experiment in hardest possible location and den implement the same in other location once proved success. We will go by following approach:
a.      First Phase we will add more villages to this Cooperative bcoz they can c example infront of them
b.      Then will launch second project in Kumaun region.
c.       We will launch 11 more projects in each District with different project managers for each district.
d.      Now second set of 13 co-operative (one more in each district) will be open in very near location to existing cooperative. As that will work as example for them and we would need to put less efforts and resources.
e.       Similarly next set of cooperatives/ projects will be launched.

Hope now new and old members would have got clear picture about Project SHURWAAT… Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.

Regards
Team Foundation SHURWAAT
