ABOUT SES
ShohratgarhEnvirnomnetal Society (SES) is a development organization. SES was informally born with issue of local safe drinking
water issue in 1985. Over the years, SES has evolved to be a comprehensive NGO which works in the field of agriculture, food
security, livelihood, health, education, disaster mitigation, water &environment. Since its origin, SES has been engaged with various
developmental programme. The programmes are addressing issues of children, women, youth & unprivileged group. These
programmes are based on community, gender participation & ethical ecological values. Over the years, SES has developed its own
working style & culture. SES has started as an organization which works for awareness among citizen. With learning in the years,
SES has molded itself in organization working with right & advocacy based approach. SES has conducted several capacity building
&programme. SES also publishes its quarterly newsletter "ECHO SES" which always maintains a standard regarding content over
social & developmental Issues .SES work with rural communities of Uttar Pradesh as well as unprivileged group in urban area of
Uttar Pradesh.SES treats all employees equally irrespective of their caste, creed, sex or religion. All employee work harmonically. SES
has some inherent values borrowed from its founder member: Honesty, Trust and Team Work. SES also commits to support to Ten
Principles of the UN Global Compact with respect to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
Over the years SES has established its identity in Uttar Pradesh. Years of Perseverance, dedication, determination of SES towards pious
social cause is appreciated in 2011. Economic & Social Council of United Nation accorded SES Special Consultative Status in year 2011.
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 & economic indicator in comparison of developed part of state as well as country.
Figure 2: Working Area of SES
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 doesnt end here; rather, it marks the beginning of complex problem.
Figure 1: MApOf India & Uttar Pradesh
JHANSI LUCKNOW
People, who have some kind of financial stability, migrate to cities in the quest of better job opportunities and livelihood. People,
who dont 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 strategiesto address issue are formation of CBOs, raising
awareness & strengthening them through training, meeting, information sharing, linking with PRI, governments 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. They would be taught about various ways of livelihood that can be exercised in flood prone area. People will be provided
with information about the significance and use of various scientific methods which not only increase the fertility of soil but
increases productivity also and provide a means of livelihood to the farmers round the year. In Uttar Pradesh, SES works in 30
districts including state capital of Lucknow. It includes rural & urban areas of those districts.
What We Do
SES in its project we particularlyfocus with unprivileged or vulnerable group. These groups comprise of child, women, youth &
elderly people.SES does not involve in development directly but catalyze development process in target area, by involving
community in each step (from planning to implement). SES believes in bottom up approach rather than of top up approach. It
means, community tells about their problem/need to SES & SES tries to find out the way with involvement of them & other
community stakeholders. SES considers it as inevitable way for success &sustainability of project. .
SES founder envisioned for a society where everyone achieve person happiness & wellbeing. A person can achieve personal
happiness & wellbeing when his/her basic needs are fulfilled. If everyone can achieve happiness & wellbeing, people will live in
peace & harmony.
Merely Envisioning or developing a vision statement wont work in practicality. For it, one need to develop a mission which can
turn SES founders vision into reality.
VISION: Working For a Society Where Everyone Achieve Personal Happiness&Wellbeing.
MISSION:
To Work towards improving health services.
To Work for Efficient & Effective way of education where child go to school.
Capacity Building of community so they can fight back with adverse situation & have
basic needs of food, health & education.
To work with Pro nature approach towards social problem & find solution in ecological
sustainable manner.
SES works with following objectives:
SES believes in creating self-reliant communities in targeted area with various activities such as agriculture, health,
education, water, sanitation in changing climate scenario.
SES work by empowering targeted communities in selected area. It is through various community based organization such
as Self Help Group(SHG), Farmers Club, Disaster Management Committee (DMC) Youth Information Center (YIC)
etc. The target communities are from unprivileged/ vulnerable group irrespective of religion or caste.
SES helps in capacity building of community related to crucial issue in the area. Organization also organize & participate in
workshop with its staff & stakeholder to update about new things happening pertaining to their particular issue.
SES also plan for preparedness with community in time of disaster & provide relief as per need of time.
Working in Coordinated manner, so everyone can live in peace & harmony.
SES also works to conduct crucial research & its documentation,So there can be improvement in programme of
development.
SES believes that poverty alleviation cannot be done overnight. There are several issues &causes which cannot be
understand without any integrated approach. SES always tries to integrate all issue related to poverty whether it is health,
education, agriculture, food security in changing environment circumstances. While working, SES tries to blend to various
approaches. The reason of adopting this approach is not to miss knowledge & experience of various stakeholders in
programme. For instance, In Agriculture, we try to incorporate traditional, indigenous knowledge along with scientific
knowledge & technology. Our focus area of activities & work are as follows:
Sustainable Agriculture & Food Security: The area where SES is operating, 70 % people are dependent on agriculture. Paddy
is one of their main crops. But in last few years, flood has made their life miserable. Inundation of water or water logging in
the field lead to loss of crop. Ultimately, he remains with meager sum if he works on other crops. Sometimes, it is difficult
to have two time meals for his/her family. In the area, large numbers of women are involved in agriculture. They are
burdened with household as well as field work. At the time of flood, when family lacks two time meals, she shares her part
of food to children. Lack of food minus nutritional content lead them into various diseases common to the area.
Health: SES has started with its first health project in late 90s. The theme of project was Aware people about Iodine
Deficiency Disorder. After that demand and issues of health care from village has led SES to other health issues in the
region. Water Borne disease, Japanese Encephalitis, malaria & malnutrition are very common disease in the region. In the
years, SES has focused on issue of maternal & infant mortality rate, transmission of HIV/AIDS, reproductive& child
health, malnutrition, sexual & reproductive issue.
Education: Education is recognized as one of the basic building block for development of human being and critical in
poverty alleviation. It is consider an important millennium development goal. In the villages of rural & slums of urban area,
education is considered as least important. Attending school means loss of productivity to a household. A farmer involves
their children in field. Sometimes elder child stay at home to take care of their younger when there are parents are busy in
field work. Education is one of important focus area of SES. In its work it has promoted education for children, women or
old man with several of its programme. There are some cases where SES stop prevented drop out in most of cases.
Water & Sanitation: SES was born with local safe drinking water issue in town of Shohratgarh. SES has considered water
as precious. Inadequate & safe sources lead to water borne disease. In some cases, Girls walk long distance to carry
water.From time to time, SES has run various programme. At village level, it has sensitized community about water &
sanitation issue & advocate for their issue with Village Health & Sanitation Committee (VHSC). SES considers Children
as most important stakeholder in many of its programme. SES has implemented several programme in schools which caters
issue of Water & Sanitation.
Climate Change & Disaster Management: 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.
Gender Rights: Though SES worked with right based approach. But, SES also focus on women living in targeted region. In
the region, women are always grappled with discrimination due to patriarchy & other social system. If a women is dalit, she
is alienated thrice by caste (being lower than others),by class(being most poor) & by gender (due to patriarchy).Issue like
child Marriage, dowry & domestic violence(remains inside closets of house ). SES has tried to improve condition by setting
up various CBOs for instance SHGs, involving them in income generation activity & building their capacity.
How We Work:
There is an advisory body of SES which forms its governing structure. Currently, there are 9 members. They advise on
taking up of projects & budgets. On other hand, governing body is responsible for supervision of programmes. Secretary of
SES manages day to day activities of organization. Acting Secretary with Secretary develop & supervise developmental
programme, financial & organizational planning of organization of ongoing & upcoming projects.
A project Coordinator is assigned to every project & is responsible for action & implementation of programme activities.
Under Him, there is field workers & volunteer & help in smooth & impactful implementation of progarmme.
Administration & Account department is fully responsible for administrative & financial activities of SES. These
departments& a project head too monitor & evaluate basic programme activity regularly.
In SES, every staff is equal irrespective of their caste & religion. In addition to staff, there are number of consultants who
give their inputs in programme from time to time. They are from field of Agriculture, WASH, Health, Horticulture, and
Social science & Economy.
Our partner organizations at local, state, national & international level are very crucial to work. We are grateful to their
continuous contribution, support, feedback which has helped us to run programme effectively & efficiently.

STATEMENT BY SHOHRATGARH ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIETY IN 2012 ECOSOC HIGH LEVEL SEGMENT:
The NGO Branch of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs is pleased to announce an open call for oral and written statements for
the 2012 ECOSOC High Level Segment (HLS) for NGOs in ECOSOC consultative status. SES has submitted its statement. It is selected & Published in six UN
language. You can read it here: http://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N12/311/75/pdf/N1231175.pdf?OpenElement
Statement
Currently, a large number of young persons contribute to the population of India. However, educated ones are never interested in social work as it
doesnt pay good money or provide recognition. Those who have spent half of their lives in rural villages aspire to work for companies like Tata,
Birla or Reliance. Ultimately, they move out of their village, leading to more pressure on urban/natural resources. While those who want to do
social work are passionate and really want to do good work, they lack funds. The word profit is considered a taboo for non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) at large. Though they do work for other peoples livelihood, they struggle on their own. They hesitate to mention profit (not
necessarily as monetary term). As a result, they are involved in malicious practices, such as corruption or embezzlement of funds. The benefits
which are meant for poor or vulnerable people never reach them sufficiently and thus, the poor remain in a vicious cycle of poverty. On the other
hand, social work is the last resort for those
who did not get any job. As a result, many times NGOs do not get the right skills for the right work. The following consequences ensue: the desired
results of the programmes are not achieved despite spending large amounts of money and time. This is a trend in most South Asian countries.
Resource-driven and not-engaging entrepreneurial skills in any project lead to an unsustainable organization as well as unsustainable
programmes. We are putting this question forth: What are the ways to bring about organized, skilful and productive employment in development
and the growth of effective and sustainable NGOs in South Asia?
USE OF ICT BY SES
With Time, SES has tried to integrate ITC with its programme. It has start using Internet , Social Media for maximum reach & impact as
well. As Mobile has been brought revolution in India. We have tried to inform community about governments most ambitious
programme MNREGA(Mahtama Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act). It informs about every details about MNREGA
through SMS code. Example is given below:

IMPACT
THE CURIOUS CASE OF BASHEER AHMED
In Movie Cast Away, a FedEx employee Chuck Noland who is stranded on an uninhabited island after his plane crashes on a flight over the South Pacific Sea. The film depicts his attempts to survive on the island using remnants of his plane's cargo, as well as his eventual escape and return to society. Life of Basheer Ahmed is nonetheless like Noland. 68 years, Basheer Ahmed Lives in Harkoli Village of District Siddharthnagar (U.P.). From Last Six Decades, He was struggling for his basic needs. Every year, the fury of River Burhi Rapti jolts his dream to live. Though, Not Stranded like Noland on a barren island but fulfilling needs of their seven family members looks herculean task for Basheer. In country of cultural diversity where indicator of economy lies in urban India and electoral system depends on rural area, 3 bigha land is not sufficient for Basheer. Every year, His family has to leave his home and make a temporary home on roads.
In this region, usually two major crop cycles are grown - Wheat (Rabi) & Paddy (Kharif). Bashir grows Rabi crop in November and harvest during the end of April while Kharif crop starts after two months gaps from July and harvested till the middle of November. Due to good soil in this area and good rainfall paddy is very ambitious for farmers like Basheer. The best time for harvesting is between 15th August to 15th September. Every year, before growing a crop, Basheer has a hope but a fear too. Fear of Flood, Fear of losing crops and fear of not having two time meals. Only source of income was crop of Rabi and working as labourer. Earlier, His input was Rs. 1500 and get output of Rs. 5000 from wheat. Shohratgarh Environmental Society, a Leading NGO in this area helped Basheer to improve his standard of Life. They appease Basheer to try NDR-97 (A variety of paddy from acharay Narendra Dev agriculture University, faizabad) . NDR is short duration (90-100 days) crop. SES has support him with technical input like time line from sowing to harvesting, irrigation & quantity & use of fertilizer. It is called early paddy. Its nursery developed between 1st to 15th may. Due to appropriate condition, crop is harvested before advent of flood. With showing early paddy in one bigha, he has to invest Rs. 1500 & earn profit of Rs. 4500.Thus, his income from early paddy crop was Rs.13500 from three bigha. Now, Basheer become intelligent and he asked what we can grow after field is being vacant after 15th august. SES advised him to start sowing cash crop. During those two vacant months, he sowed mustard with investment of Rs. 300, Income was Rs. 2200/bigha. He also started practicising potato, tomato, brinjal & sugar cane. Thus early paddy income & other cash crops boost up his income without affecting wheat sowing schedule.
The best thing about Basheer is his curiosity to learn. SES gave him hope to old shoulder of Basheer. In his own words It has become our way of life and I thought I will pass my whole life in the same way, there was no hope or method to combat inundation. He is now active member of Grain bank. This grain banks supports during emergency as well as lean period of poor and other deprived people. He is also a member of AAS (AAJIVIKA ADHIKAR SAMITI- Livelihood Right Committee), an initiative of SES. AAS comprises of different CBOs which do advocacy at different level and enthusiastic Basheer not only play important role for his fellow farmers and neighborhood villages but also show them way .The difference between reel character Noland and Basheer is Noland returns after 4 years to society but Basheer took sixty years to return to the society where he lives - A society where he has his say, where his next generation can have a good life.
