THE FUTURE OF INDIA

oreWorD

Only when a person is able to ace and take up the pain and sorrow o another as his own, we prove our sel as a

responsible human being.

65 years since gaining independence, India still has eatures o poverty, disease, biased levels in its society and

lack o equal opportunities. Only i the Government, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and other social

organisations work together can a country like India have a respite rom these undamental problems acing this

country. The mission o an NGO is to take up the responsibility o what the Government may not do and what

they cannot do.

Rehab India Foundation is a NGO ormed 5 years ago, with its headquarters in Delhi. It was born by extensively

travelling through the villages the heart o India in the north and north-east and by watching the hunger,

diseases and illiteracy in the villages which had no colour or race discrimination and to eradicate such sorrow

and pain.

Rehab was motivated by the words o God, i anyone saves a lie, it shall be as though he had saved the lives

o all mankind. That is how we started Rehab Model Village in Assam. As protection or the women who are

compelled to give up their chastity due to their miserable lie in poverty, Rehab has started Padosi Sel-HelpGroup (SHG) Programme in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh.

The real villages in India have become a symbol o the complete helplessness o the people o India and o the

disregard o the ruling establishment.

Village Development Programme is a project to change their mindset and then to change their lives by using their

own resources to the maximum. Rehab adopted a methodology o inculcating a Can do attitude in villagers.

By the grace o God, the shine on their aces in adopted villages are proving that we are succeeding.

It is proposed that each adopted village should become a sel sustainable society at the end o th year. The

alert team o rehab is pursuing this goal in these villages.

Rehabs style is to take up micro level projects instead o macro projects and programmes. Its about smaller

clinics touching each village instead o big super speciality hospitals; The approach o giving priority to primary

schools instead o engineering or medical colleges.

Rehabs activities impact in three distinct ways in the people. First it builds sel condence in them. The

willingness to ull own obligations and the will power to obtain their rights rom the government is being

nurtured.

Secondly, it creates the eeling o sharing the pain and sorrow o the people living ar away like their own in

philanthropic individuals. They thereby include in the prayers o rehab team and scores o the beneciaries o

rehab projects.

Thirdly, our eorts in this eld increases the vigour o other NGOs working in similar area. We are happy to see

more and more agencies coming up to build model villages in Assam.

India lives in 120 crore people dwelling in 6.5 lakh villages and 8,000 cities across the subcontinent. With

respect to this gure, the work which Rehab does might be negligible, however the attitude o even i not

enough, whatever possible is a great one.

On that midnight when India rose to reedom while the world was ast asleep Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru addressed

India, The service o India means the service o the millions who suer. It means the ending o poverty, and

ignorance and disease and inequality o opportunities.

Rehab is going ahead. Our mission will not end unless hunger, diseases and illiteracy end to exist which do nothave a race or religion. With Gods grace and your cooperation we will accomplish our mission.

It gives me great satisaction to state that we ended last year with

a lot o new initiatives in our Village Development Programme

(VDP), and set new milestones or Rehab India Foundation in the

socio-work arena.

We started delivering tuition programs in a more structured way.

We designed the tuition programs at dierent levels L1 (1st to

4th), L2 (5th to 8th) and L3 (8th to 12th). We introduced theTeachers Training Programme to enhance the teaching skills o

all our teachers. We are happy to say that students rom Rehab

villages have been well recognised and appreciated by the nearby

schools. As we move ahead with a goal o drop out prevention

strategies, we see a lot o positive vibes in parents to send every

child to school. Many o our villages have 100% school going

students as a result o Rehab eorts.

In this year we have initiated Sel Help Group (SHG) in all

Rehab villages. We are making signicant progress in availing

government benets in our economic development programmes.

We strongly believe in the caption prevention is better than cure.

Our healthcare initiatives are designed to bring awareness in

people about good health. Many campaigns were conducted about

hygiene and health basics. In addition to our monthly medical

check ups we partnered with hospitals and health centres to avail

ree medical treatment to the most needed people across each

village.

We have introduced unique programs like job oriented trainings,

amily counseling, career guidance, cultural programs, school

enrollment est, exam motivation and leadership trainings within

our Village Development Programme.

Furthermore, our MSW scholarship program is very unique in its

modus operandi. It gives students the benet o managing real

time projects while they study the entire 2-year course. Our MSW

students are rom the nearby places o Rehab villages.

We look orward to your continued support.

that school is 13 km away rom the village. We desperately

needed a emale teacher and hence scheduled an interview.

To my surprise the teachers husband appeared or theinterview. He said that his wie is standing behind the wall

and he will pass the questions to her!

As o today, our Educare Centre now has 3 emale teachers,

and they regularly attend our Teachers Training Programme,

Teachers Meetings, etc. They teach 246 students o which

We conducted an Adolescent Girl Group meeting in Rehab

Model Village, Assam. Initially, they were very shy & hesitant

to introduce themselves. It was the rst-o-its-kind meeting

in the whole o Hapasara Grama Panchayat. This meeting

was basically to know their education ambition, interest &

hobbies and to orm a regularly meeting group. These girls

expected that we would teach some handicrat work. Even

though English was a part o the subject in school, they were

unable to speak even the basic words. Towards the end othe meeting they had given me an assurance that they will

speak with me in English the next time we conduct a meeting

with them. At the end o the meeting, they were happy & said,

Thank You in English.

haJJipara-Beore vDp

Few years back when we visited Hajipara Village, we observed all

elements o a tragedy. A tale o poverty, illiteracy, neglect, natures ury

and ocial Indias apathy towards the downtrodden and unsung people

o this village.

We analysed that these poor people were unable to maintain a

minimum socially accepted level o standard o living. And, due to

neglection, it is kicked o to consume benet o government schemes.

For daily expenses, they are completely dependent on agriculture.

Either they are owner o small piece o land or working as a labour

under land lords. In short, whatever they earned was not sucient to

ull ll their basic need.

Quality education or education at all was a dream or the children

and youth who liked to study. We can say major chunk was ignorant

and one o the major reasons was poverty and hunger. Somehow, it

is justied because we cant expect a starving person to indulge in

intellectual discourse on the importance o education. We needed

patience or long term output and people needed instant solution to

put something in their stomach. When we met one o the poor ladieso the Village. She said, Kya karenge parah kar. Chalo parah bhi liya

to kya Gaon ki parai shahar ki parai ka mukabala kar payegi. So we

realized that people understand the disparity o education in the villages

thats why they preerred skill development training programme than

education or their kids.

Ater poverty, illiteracy and ignorance, next most shocking indicator

was health and sanitation. In this modern era, still people go to the

open places or lavatory. Hospital is ar away rom the village, i

anybody dared to go then they ail to reach back in time due to bad

transportation.

drop-out children. Currently, 91 children are part o this tuition centre.

Our aim is to provide quality education to the school going students

and acilitate bridge course to drop outs and enroll them in government

schools.

The team also organised enrollment est to publicise the tuition class at

the Rehab Educare centre. Under this programme, we distributed notices

among the villagers and organised house campaigns. Also we arranged

parents meet intermittently to light the lamp o education.

econoMic DevelopMent:As agriculture is the only source o income in the village, we established a

armers club, contacted resource person and applied or bank accounts

or members o armers club. The team ormed a emale club or their

direct involvement in developing their village. Apart rom this, we organised

thrit and saving Programme or household women. Now ty women are

members o this group and actively participate in allocation o und.

healthcare:To improve the health level o poor people, Rehab organised medical

The MSW Scholarship

Programme was initiated in the

objective to empower and build

the capacity o MSW students

by giving Scholarships, exposure

Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore I slept and dreamt that lie

behold, service was joy, it is my great pleasure to introduce

MSW Scholarship Programme organised by Rehab India

It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.

I the several social orces which ultimately bring about radical

changes or transormation among the backward people, the

emale education is by ar the most important one. No nation

can progress; no human group can advance without the emale

education. Female education is the major vehicle through which

the generation-to-generation poverty cycle can be broken.

Female education has a tremendous impact on the amily

especially on children. Female education has a great infuence on

the status o women and their participation in various activities.The more a society is literate and educationally orward, the

more the status o its emales and less their participation in hard

and manual activities. In a rural society illiterate womenolk are

involved in each and every activity which requires hard labour.

Sometimes they perorm even those activities which are not

medically advisable or ladies. They do this because they have to

support their amilies.

In the current developing society and when infation is increasing,

there is a race or the acquisition o goods so as to lead a better

level o living in the society. This tendency is more common in

urban areas than rural. Today women take up jobs outside theirhomes to augment amily resources. Education and economic

independence is creating an atmosphere o sel condence

among women.

Today, womens contribution can be seen in the promotion o

economic development in dierent capacities, namely housewie,

mother, labourer, scientist, etc. Women contribute in the nations

overall production by their work in elds and actories. The status

o women is intimately connected with their economic position

which depends on opportunities or participation in economic

activities. The educational and economic status o women is

an indicator o social development. Observing the importance

o education or woman development and reorm, Rehab IndiaFoundation initiated Educare Centres or poor children especially

emale children and adults. I am delighted to share that presently

we are running twenty-one Educare Centres across India

promoting and achieving Goal two o UN Millennium Development

in the poorest areas o the country.

Our crying inants, screaming children, hal nude girls hiding themselves

at the back o their men, disappointed aces, huge crowd outside toilet,

this was the inside picture o Chirang reugee camp when we visited

in July. For ew minutes, I lost my control and wondered how people

can be inhuman at this level. Why people orget that we may have

dierent religion, language or even belong to dierent nation but we all

belong to one human race which is supposed to be superior rom other

creatures on earth.

In 2012 and rom last ew years, lakhs people met with their ate due

to the over fowing Brahmaputra and pre-planned attack by some

extremists in the name o cleaning o Bangladeshi inltrators.

With the aim to provide relie to these innocent people, we launched

a package o multiaceted activities including Assam riot relie

programme, Flood relie programme, Model village, Food kits

distribution and advocacy programme.

Assam Relie Programme started on an emergency basis, and

distributed baby ood packets, polythene bags, mosquito nets, candles,

buckets, mugs, clothes, utensils and other necessary items in thereugee camps o Chirang, Dhubri, Kokrajhar, Barpeta and Bongaigaon.

About 1000 kg fattened rice, sugar and other necessary ood

materials were distributed in food aected villages o Assam.

Legal awareness programmes were organised requently or food

aected and riot hit victims so that they can legally claim or their loss.

Rehab Model Village initiated with a vision to ensure that every one o

these victims should have a home, access to education, pure drinking

water, medical support and employment opportunity. With the grace

o God, we have built 60 houses and among them 45 have beendistributed. Achieving UN MDG Goal 2, we are running pre-primary

school and also acilitating ree tuition classes to students and drop

outs. On need basis, Rehab released scholarships or the students who

like to study and organised weekly and bi-monthly medical camps or

reducing maternal mortality and inant mortality. Our doctors counseled

women or reproductive child health, neo natal care and general and

personal hygiene. Moving orward rom charity to empowerment, team

ormed three Sel Help Groups; one man SHG and two women SHGs.

From next month, we will release loan or their proposed proposals

such as rearing o goat, bualo, papad making, marketing ood items

and clothes etc.

Apart rom this, 7773 ood packets were distributed among the amilies

who have been temporarily rehabilitated at Government Reugee

Camps.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to all our stakeholders or their

overwhelming support or achieving the goal o Assam Relie Project,

aiming to empower innocents made victims o ethnic cleaning and

natural calamity irrespective o caste, creed and religion.
