Janakalyan believes in empowerment and sustainability strategies and all its programs are designed with these core
principles through institution building.
Accountability and transparency are core values of Janakalyan and maintained at all levels to its highest degree.
Janakalyan never considers itself an alternative to Government but a watchdog for the community. It does believe
itself as an assisting agency for the Government in developing the nation and its citizens.

From Directors Desk

This report witnesses the existence of
Janakalyan for 17 successful years in the field of
development! It is indeed a matter of happiness
to make it public on the eve of 18 th anniversary
of Janakalyan! Like every year, we are releasing
the report on 2nd July, the Foundation Day of
Janakalyan, with a hope that we will be given
more opportunities to serve the target groups
in better fashions in the days to come.
During these 17 years, Janakalyan has served
its primary target group i.e. the Bengali
refugees aiming at their all round development
and we now claim that we have brought many tangible and intangible
changes in the lives and livelihoods of this primary target groups (please see
impact assessment section of this report for details). This journey was not
that easy like any other developmental journey. It saw many troughs and
crests but Janakalyan did not stop there instead continued with more
enthusiasm and efforts, every time it was at the bottom of the pyramid.
Many strategies were adopted, many programs were designed,
implemented, mistaken, learnt, redesigned, again implemented, assessed,
reassessed, and finally we are here today. However, care has always been
taken that if not good but our interventions should not harm any of the
target groups in any manner. During this journey, we have come up with
many innovative models, tested in various contexts, which are the treasure
of Janakalyan and could now be replicated in similar context in any part of
the country. These innovations could be grouped as 7Es such as
Environment (water), Employment (sustainable agriculture), Empowerment
(community), Education (rural), Entrepreneurship (rural), Energy (solar) and
Ensuring (health) services to all living beings.
The year under reporting is another successful year added to the history of
Janakalyan; it has also several milestones that the team crossed over 365
days of the year. More emphasis was on refugee rights like reservation,
mother tongue education, land rights, voter rights, etc. in addition to its
regular programs viz. Jan Sanghatan (Empowerment), Jan Krishi
(Employment), Jan Jal (Environment), Jan Shakti (Energy), Jan Udyog
(Entrepreneurship), Jan Shiksha (Education) and Jan Raksha (Ensuring
health). It has received 1st ever grant from Government of India for
leadership development of minority women, a grant from Indian Council for
Social Science Report for a research study, etc. are some new paradigm shift
in the organization.
However, it would be wrong on my part if I do not put on record that in terms
of funding it was a bad year thought in terms of activities and impacts, it was

22
 Annual Report 2013-14
a memorable year again. In addition, the reserve funds of Janakalyan as well
as my personal accumulation was exhausted totally to complete the college
building as well as managing the recurring expenditures of college. Further, I
had also to avail huge loan against my only residential plot to complete the
college building. Now I humbly request the communities, well wishers and
donors to come forward to sustain the institute initiated for the benefits of
the refugee children. I strongly believe that these bad days wont last
forever..

Jan Sanghatan
Fight for Rights
Convinced the High Level Committee to recognize Bengalis as Scheduled Caste in Karnataka

I failed to secure a medical seat even with 96% score in my +2 examination while my friend from
a reserved community is a doctor today with mere 88% marks, says one of the refugee children
of Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project.

This is how the fight began long back on 26 th January 1950 when the Constitution of India was adopted
by the Parliament of India. The Indias freedom fight saw its saddest end on 15 th August 1947 by dividing
the country and its victims were Bengalis and Punjabis as part of their provinces went to newly born
country Pakistan. Anticipating the consequences of partition, the aware of higher caste communities
took the benefits of exchange of properties and settled themselves in India, especially in West Bengal,
Assam, Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Orissa, etc. soon after partition. However, the illiterate
rural communities, especially from the lower strata, did not leave their ancestral properties and later
became victims of communal riot. In addition, Government of India also sent their central Ministers to
Bangladesh to request the Hindu communities to stay back as long as they can; otherwise, the
Government of India, having financial constraints, will not be able to rehabilitate the influx of refugees if
they arrive at a time: rather they can come to India in phases. With all these assurances, when they
started entering Indian borders, the neighboring states were saturated and thus they had to reluctantly
get rehabilitated in other parts of the country, one among them is Karnataka.

The communities those crossed the border in early 70s are basically from lower strata of the society
socially, economically and educationally. They belong to Namasudra, Pod/Poundra and Rajbanshi
communities. These are considered as SC in eastern part of the country but not in other parts where
they have been forcefully rehabilitated by Government of India. Therefore, even after 67 years after
independence, they are still backward as they are deprived off their constitutional benefits.

Janakalyan, took this initiative to fight for these communities, soon after its inception in 1997, and
succeeded to convince the Government of Karnataka to constitute a high level committee headed by
Additional Chief Secretary of Karnataka, with 2 Regional Commissioners as member and Commissioner
of Social Welfare Department as Member-Secretary of the committee. Continuous follow up and
persuasion through NiBBUSS could help the committee to meet on 9.12.2013 and a meeting chaired by
Sri Siddharamaiah, honorable Chief Minister of Karnataka on 3.1.2014 at his Home Office to consider our
appeal. Subsequently, we met the Social Welfare Minister Sri Anjaneya H, District Incharge Minister Sri
Sharanaprakash Patil, MLAs, MLCs, MPs and other leaders to get their support for our cause. Further, we
also met all the members of the high level committee and the Chief Secretary of Karnataka. The support
of Sri Amlan Biswas, IAS, Regional Commissioner of Gulbarga Division should be written in Golden
letters.
The next historical event in this series was an event at R H Colony No.4 on 27 th January 2014 wherein
more than 3000 people gathered to honor the Deputy Commissioner address to the communities. He
promised that the report on our SC status would be submitted to government within 30 days of the
event. We are expecting a favorable decision on this in couple of months and if succeed in this endeavor,
a golden era would start for these communities. Janakalyan team is now planning to bring the similar
communities of 18 states under the same umbrella to give it a shape of movement for their rights;
supports from every social being is solicited for this great cause to address their constitutional
deprivation.

Fight for Survival
Land, the only source of livelihood, needs to be utilized effectively to fulfill family requirements

The model developed by Janakalyan is extremely useful for farming communities of tail end of
irrigation project having small land holding but needs heavy investment and is labor intensive
says the participating farmer.

Farmers at the tail end of Tungabhadra Irrigation Project in Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project are granted
with 4-5 acres of land; land fragmentation over a period of 4 decades have left each family with 1-2 acres
reducing the per capita land availability further. Irrigation has also become inadequate nowadays. Land
fertility has gone down to any extent due to usage of chemical-heavy method of cultivation. High cost of
inputs with less productivity made all the farmers defaulters in financial institute over a period of time.

Farmers Technology Transfer Fund (FTTF) is a NABARD supported intervention taken up by Janakalyan to
demonstrate a model which could make the farmers self sustainable with the small piece of land that
they are having at their disposal. It is nothing but intensified integrate farming system. The objective is to
create water harvesting structures in their farms, harvest excess water during rainy season, use it for life
saving irrigation during peak season along with fish, trees, compost and vegetables.

The project initiated in September 2013 with 5 farmers and has a plan to extend to 5 farmers every year
for 3 years. The farmers are trained about the concept of water budgeting, judicious use of water, fish
cultivation, vermicompost making, vegetable cultivation, etc. by the experts drawn from Krishi Vigyan
Kendra, Raichur.

Fight for Water
Save Water to Save Earth and the major responsibility is onto the Human Beings

Water Bank concept of Janakalyan has helped us to enhance productivity in addition to

improving the land fertility, especially for us at tail end of irrigation projects of India; it is a
proven model today as tested in Tungabhadra as well as Malaprabha Irrigation Projects says
farmers in the result sharing program organized by the farming communities.

Thanks to Deshpande Foundation for supporting the intervention through Give2Asia to test the model in
the tail end of Malaprabha Irrigation Project consecutively for 4 th year; it was initially tested in the tail
end of Tungabhadra Irrigation Project with the support of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Hivos, The
Netherlands from 2001 onwards with more than 40 farmers. Today, the farmers from tail end of
Tungabhadra Irrigation Project are excavating the Water Bank with their own investment, bank loan or
other forms of credit; this proves that the model is economically feasible and therefore the farmers are
coming forward to invest on it at their own. With this successful experience, Janakalyan team thought of
replicating it in another similar context and thus chose Malaprabha tail end where it has excavated 90
Water Bank since 2010-11.
Tungabhadra Irrigation Project, Raichur District Malaprabha Irrigation Project, Gadag District
2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 Total 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 Total
6 9 5 21 41 10 27 8 45 90

What is this proven model? The tail end of any irrigation project in India faces a peculiar problem called
2-extremes of water availability excess water during rainy season inundating standing crops while
inadequate water during peak season drying up of standing crops depending on the irrigation
requirement of upper reach farmers. Janakalyan, for the first time in India, has developed this model and
implemented with Bengali farmers rehabilitated in Sindhanur. After successful replication in Malaprabha
tail end, Janakalyan now declares it as a feasible proven model for the whole country. One can tell it with
confidence based on the following statistics.
Year 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14
Project Grant 46% 24% 36% 28%
Farmers Contribution 54% 76% 64% 72%
We believe that when farmers have come forward to invest up to 76% of the excavation cost, it is a
feasible model. The detailed report is published separately for the project activities, strategies,
achievements and learning. After successfully implementing it in tail ends of 2 irrigation projects of
Karnataka, Janakalyan team is confident to other tail ends of any irrigation projects in India to address
the peculiar issue of tail end farmers. We can customize the model based on local/donor requirements
to ensure optimum benefits to the farming communities.

Fight for Hygiene & Sanitation
Education alone can make effective use of toilets with an intervention with hygiene kits

There are hundreds of toilets not being used due to unhygienic maintenance; it is only after
Janakalyans intervention with education and hygiene kits, we are now using the toilets. The
elderly, the pregnant women need not wait till dark to defecate in open says the woman of
rehabilitation colony.

Physical construction of toilets in the rural areas does not change the habit of the communities; most of
these are being used as store rooms. There are many reasons why the toilets are not being used by them,
major among this being- a) improper maintenance of the toilets due to lack of awareness, b) unhygienic
condition inside the toilet due to lack of cleaning agents, c) more water requirement, d) traditional
practices, etc. Janakalyan has constructed 200 toilets with the support of Infosys Foundation in past while
motivated many others to make use of Total Sanitation Campaign. But realized that education is an
essential component to make these used by the communities in addition to a starter kit having essential
hygienic materials such as toilet brush, cleaning agent, soap, detergent, buckets, mugs, brooms, etc. With
the support of GiveIndia, it has initiated an intervention to motivate and change the behavior of the rural
communities to use toilet regularly. The table Hygiene Kits Provided in Raichur District
furnishes the outreach of Janakalyan till date since 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 Total
initiation of the intervention. 87 10 105 72 274

While hundreds of toilet constructed using government grants are being used differently, the toilets
constructed by Janakalyan in its project villages are used 100% due to the behavioral change
communication program with the hygiene kit support through GiveIndia. Janakalyan is sure of replicating
it in other parts of the country too by customizing the intervention based on the local/donor requirements.

Fight for Post-metric Education
Ensure post-metric education to rural child to avoid child marriage and child labor

I would have become mother of a child by now like my classmate had there not been Maa
Sarada Pre University College started by Janakalyan in the year I had passed my matriculation;
today I am perusing my degree education says one of the passed out girl from the college.
Hundreds of children have become victims of child marriage / child labor since establishment of the
Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project in 1968-71. All girls and most of the boys are dropped out from the
education system after completing their matriculation in the local schools due to the following reasons-
a) The colleges are located only in the cities (far away from these villages)
b) Financial burden on parents (fees, books, stationary, dress, mess, etc.)
c) Accommodation problem in the nearby towns/cities (as these communities are not covered under any
reservation system)
d) Transportation problem from village to the nearby town/cities as there are no public conveyance
e) Security to the girls when they are away from home for education
f) Gender discrimination why to educate a girl when she has to go away from us?
The result is child marriage/child labor; the consequences are still birth, under-weight birth, malnourished
children, infant mortality, maternal mortality, family problems, divorce, suicide, etc.

An institute to provide post-metric education to these children at their doorstep is initiated by Janakalyan
through Maa Sarada Pre
University College. The efforts of Academ Male Students Female Students

With all efforts, we could 13
succeed to bring in 57 students in the 1 st year (2012-13) in the post metric education while it is 39 in the
current (2013-14) year. There are many others who have passed their matriculation but did not join post-
metric education but become victims of child marriage/ child labor. All those who joined post-metric
education did not complete their 2-years tenure but dropped in the middle of the course. How to address
this social devil which is forcing the children to child marriage/labor?
In addition, Janakalyan also has few other supports to continue their education such as-
1) Education kit provided to poor students having geometry box, water bottle, school bag, pen, pencils
2) Parents of poor students

Fight against Begging
Create employment for leprosy affected beggars to ensure their livelihood security

Many well wishers have visited us, donated us many thing but nobody has so far thought about
making us entrepreneurs so that we become self dependent and live a dignified life says a
leprosy affected girl of Gadag self settled colony.

People with leprosy are usually seen with a social stigma and thus they usually settle in the outskirt of the
cities and depend solely on begging for their survival. There are 2 such self settled colonies in Hospet and
Gadag cities; there are about 13 families in Hospet Mukti Ashram while about 43 families in Gadag self
settled colony. Janakalyan with the support of Sasakawa India Leprosy Foundation (SILF) decided to
create a cadre of entrepreneurs among the youths from these colonies, who should take up their own self
employment ventures and stop begging. They should be change-makers and shall motivate others by
becoming models for their fellow colony-dwellers. When discussed the idea with these colonies, all of
them had shown very much interest and expressed their willingness to participate.

Accordingly, the resource and skill mapping is done with the stakeholders and finalized 2 enterprises for 6
members each in these 2 colonies as stated below-
1) Starting a plastic articles manufacturing unit in Hospet colony using the wastes as the youths of this
colony has enough skill and experience in this.
2) Vegetable Production and Marketing by Hospet Mukti Ashram youths as they have about 4 acres of
fertile land which is nearer to the market with adequate irrigation facility.

Finally, the business plan for Hospet Mukti Ashram was finalized using participatory tools and submitted
to SILF for approval while the Gadag plan is yet to be prepared; they are having some issues with their
residential plot and are busy in settling that, therefore decided to take up later. The plan of Hospet plan is
approved by SILF and we are waiting to initiate the intervention in Hospet Mukti Ashram as soon as the
beneficiaries open their bank account.

Harness solar energy to help students reading even during load shedding

It is really worth installing a solar lighting system at home having students studying in school/
colleges, especially when they are facing public examinations says a student of 10 th standard
who could really benefit from the demonstration of the solar light in his house just before the
board examination.

Load shedding is common these days and it is more so in rural areas; schedule load shedding is 6 hours
during the day while unscheduled is numerous. The students face lot of difficulties to study especially
during and before their examination (February April) and the load shedding is more during this period
due to shortage of water in hydro-electric or thermal power plants. On the other hand, the solar energy is
abundantly available during this period only but not tapped for the productive purposes.

With the support of SELCO, Janakalyan demonstrated the reading lights in houses to help students
studying with uninterrupted power supply. It could also be used for lighting the house or any other
household purposes. The model is appreciated by the communities and shall be propagated now in these
villages.

The Energy Resource Institute (TERI) has also developed a forced draft steel stove and a mud stove under
its clean energy project to reduce ecological burden. Janakalyan is planning to spread it among its target
groups for the wider benefits of the society and environment. The rural India is suffering from lack of
firewood and the LPG has yet not reached the rural India. The whole mass is dependent on firewood
which is a burden on ecology. This endeavor is to reduce the global warming to some extent.

Impact Assessment
Impacts on primary target group of Janakalyan the refugees

Janakalyan took birth to address the issues of rehabilitated refugees in India and is on the job since 1997;
it has achieved a lot as stated in our previous annual reports but there is much to achieve in the days to
come. The major impacts which have been accrued to these primary target groups are enlisted below-
1) The major issue of irrigation is resolved through water harvesting structure introduction along with
intensified integrated farming system

2) Farmers never sell their compost rather purchase to apply in their farms from other sources.
3) Milk has become the second largest source of income, which they never thought of selling earlier; the
milk producer cooperative societies are functioning well in all colonies.
4) Vegetable is available in the village market which they earlier used to purchase from Sindhanur on
weekly basis; today, people from Sindhanur come to these colonies to purchase farm fresh vegetables.
5) Fish they used to catch from rivers but today grown in these farm ponds; a source of income for them.
6) Mindset of people changed from paddy/cotton to multi-crops; more profit with diversified crops.
7) Cheaper credit available in the villages due to SHG intervention of Janakalyan. Life has become easy.
8) Connection has improved with telephone, road, transport, etc due to pressure created by Janakalyan.
9) People in administration and government have become aware about these communities and respond
well now even the Chief Secretary and Chief Minister.
10) Government has sanctioned a PU College to Janakalyan for ensuring post-metric education.
11) Government has responded by providing mother tongue (Bengali) education in government schools
12) Government has constituted a High Level Committee of 4 IAS officer above the rank of
Commissioner to recognize Namasudra, Pod/Poundra and Rajbansi as SC at par with West Bengal.
13) These 4 colonies have got exposure and connection with their fellow brothers residing in other states
through the efforts of Janakalyan.
14) Acceptance of Bengalis have increased through the coordinated efforts of Janakalyan and also
because its services are extended to local Kannadigas.

Ideas in Incubation
Journey ahead to Janakalyan support sought from donor communities
Janakalyan as an organization has learnt many aspects of development through its journey in the sector in
last 17 years; but due to lack of resources, all its ideas are not being translated into ground for the benefits
of the deserving communities. Though we have achieved much with whatever little resources that we
have been able to mobilize from various donors, but there is a long way to go and we need resources to
translate all these ideas, which are in incubation period, for the general use of public.
The work plan for next few years of Janakalyan could be enlisted as under and we seek support from all
corners of he society to help us translate these into action so that thousands of needy and deserving
communities derive benefits out of it.
1. Replication of Proven Model: The proven model of Janakalyan like water harvesting for livelihood
improvement of tail end farmers, Community Monitoring Process (CMP), Wage Earners (WE)
Groups, Agriculture Interest Groups (AIG), Neighborhood Groups (NHG), GNAN (Garibi Nirmoolan
Avartan Nidhi), etc. shall be replicated in other parts of the state and across the country.
2. Rural Education: The refugee-communities reside more than 20km away from the taluk headquarter
and thus almost all the girls drop their education after matriculation and become victims of child
marriage. The Maa Sarada Pre University College started by Janakalyan must cater to these needs of
refugees. Lack of financial resources is an issue to be handled it smoothly. Similar institutes are
required in other rehabilitation projects in India where Bengalis have been rehabilitated by GoI.
3. Community Empowerment Cell: Information is power is said but not practiced; more so in Raichur
district because getting access to information for the rural communities is next to impossible even
after RTI Act. Need for a Community Training Center is strongly felt in this direction which Raichur
district lacks & Janakalyan wishes to establish a full fledge capacity enhancement cum knowledge
center for the communities on all aspects of rural lives and livelihoods for women, farmers & youths.
4. Rehabilitated Refugee Issues: Issues related to rehabilitated refugees in India are many and peculiar
which demands special qualities to understand and address. Janakalyan began its development
journey through these refugees and acquired expertise in handling their issues. There is a great
demand for bringing all refugees of India under a common umbrella and Janakalyan believes that it is
the single agency in India which can strategically address their valid issues in due course of time.

activities within its programmatic framework of 7Es (Environment, Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship,
Empowerment, Energy and Ensuring health for all living being) by taking up research activities with the support ICSSR,
leadership training to minority women with the 1 st ever GoI fund to Janakalyan, entrepreneurship among leprosy affected

on the education institute initiated by Janakalyan. It has also integrated payment gateway for online donation.
The year 2012-13 is 16th year of Janakalyan existence! It was earmarked for fighting for the rights of its primary target groups,
the Bengali refugees. Accordingly, succeeded to ensure Bengali teaching in government schools and the day was celebrated
on 1st March 2013 as Matribhasha Vijay Divas and a Matribhasha Vijay Stambh was unveiled. Maa Sarada PU College building
was inaugurated on 8th January 2013 on the eve of 160 th Birth Anniversary of Holy Mother Sarada. Government of Karnataka
issued a gazette notification to consider providing reservation to these Bengalis.

The year 2011-12 being 15th year of existence of Janakalyan, to make it meaningful it is declared as Child Care Year and
accordingly the activities were focused on child empowerment. Supporting refugee girls education, providing education kits
Child Care Year2011-12

to the children, major operation of a cute girl and above all, opening a new college for the refugee children are notable
activities during the year. Developed Sexual Harassment Policy 2011 and relooked at all operational policies of Janakalyan like
Service Rules 2001, Procurement Policy 2005, Gender Policy 2007, and Investment Policy 2011. Credibility Alliance accredited
Janakalyan under desirable norms of highest standard in governance, accountability and transparency. The new website

best annual reports in the country by CSO Partners. National Alliance of refugees initiated in Karnataka.
Year of Expansion2007-08 Year of New Era2008-09Disaster Management2009-10 Year of Replication2010-11

The year (2010-11) marked completion of 14 years in the sector of rural development; Janakalyan started replication of its
innovative models demonstrated successfully during the journey of development in other similar context. Identification of
similar area and donors continued during the year and succeeded to initiate intervention in Gadag district. Similarly, the
other major initiative taken up during the year is towards online fundraising through GiveIndia registration, accreditation by
Credibility Alliance, affiliation to Bharat Welfare Trust, lifetime renewal of 80G of IT Act, etc.

The year (2009-10) marked completion of 13 years in the sector of rural development; in its history of these 13 years, never
entered into emergency management activities. Janakalyan initiated gradual phasing out from Raichur district during
previous year but due to an emergency call of the nature in the operational area, Janakalyan had to initiate disaster
management activities in the flood affected villages of Sindhanur on humanitarian ground. The intervention concentrated on
ensuring rights of children and women in flood affected villages and successfully implemented in 10 villages.

The year (2008-09) is the 12th year of operation in Raichur district and at this juncture Janakalyan board felt that Janakalyan
needs to compress its activities in Raichur and move in some other area. It started trimming its staff-size from the beginning
of the year as well as programs. Study in other districts of Karnataka as well as research on potential donors started during
the year. Janakalyan also done major surgeries to its operational strategies, amended its byelaws, changed its board structure
and composition and many more. To sum up, it could be said that Janakalyan took new birth with new spirit.

The year (2007-08) is the year of expansion both in terms of area of operation as well as its role change. UNICEF appointed
Janakalyan as the nodal agency for its programs in Raichur district and the prestigious national flagship program viz. Total
Sanitation Campaign (TSC) implementation through the NGOs was assigned to Janakalyan. Janakalyan implemented the TSC
in 300 villages of all 5 taluks of Raichur district through local NGOs. Janakalyan also participated in various national and
international programs, activities, meeting and workshops. The state level CRC convention was hosted by Janakalyan and
represented Karnataka in National level CRC convention. Janakalyan celebrated 10th Foundation Day on 12th January 2008 as
mark of 10 years of contribution to the society.

 17th Year JANAKALYAN: An Institution for Innovation Integrated Inspiring Interventions
The year (2006-07) is the year of recognition wherein Janakalyan built a strong network with government as well as non-
Confidence Building 2003-04 Diversification2004-05 Year of HRD2005-06 Year of Recognition2006-07

government agencies. Government assigned many planning tasks to Janakalyan in the district such as perspective plan for
NREGA, Suvarna Gramodaya, Kugram Suvarna Grama, etc. and the plans prepared by Janakalyan was appreciated in the state
level meetings by Sri Srinivas Murthy, the Principal Secretary of RDPR in Hotel Atria, Bangalore. Janakalyan was also invited to
train the NGOs of Mandya district in preparation of perspective plans for Suvarna Gramodaya. In the district also, it could
build an image and for any developmental initiatives, Janakalyan is provided with the first opportunity. Janakalyan has
developed a corpus during this year. Janakalyan also established a campus of its own.
The year 2005-06 could be termed as year of HRD wherein Janakalyan had to recruit more than 150 staffs at various cadres
and train them in various sectors to carry out the activities undertaken in the district. The staffs are recruited in each and
every village of the Sindhanur block. Similarly the project inflow was also very high and many activities had to be
implemented in parallel.

The 9th year (2004-05) is recorded as the year for diversification. Janakalyan has expanded its area of operation and reached
each and every village of Sindhanur taluk as well as neighboring taluks also. Further, the activities have also been diversified
to health, education, sanitation, nutrition focusing child and mother. Linkages with UNICEF established and it became the
major donor for Janakalyan.

The year 2003-04 is the year of confidence building. An organization working with all sections of society as target
communities for the past 8 years has developed self-confidence in achieving maximum success in its target. Looking to our
professional management, dedicated team of human resource and judicious use of financial resources another two big
projects JSYS and HIVOS were added in our list. We also see considerable change in conditions of our target community
resulting because they have started believing in themselves and our propositions.

The year 2002-03 is the year for sustainability of the organization. Sustainability of an Organization is nothing but having a
Year of Sustainability2002-03

dedicated professional team of Human Resource and a constant flow of Financial Resources. Towards this, Janakalyan put all
the effort to have a competent team by recruiting a set of fresh graduates because they could be tuned according to the
vision and mission of Janakalyan. Many efforts were put to see that the programs as well as the organization become
sustainable. The year is also most Planned Year in the history of Janakalyan; also received the FCRA registration and
exemption under section 12A of Income Tax Act, 1961. We received first foreign grant for the Cotton Based Integrated
Farming System development program. Janakalyan got lot of publicity during the year through its program called Jana-Udyog.
The area of operation was extended to outside the block as well as district. The administrative Office was established at
Jawalgera keeping the conveniences like Bank, Post, Transportation and area of operation in mind.
Year of Self Initiative2000-01Year of Professionalization2001-02

The year 2001-2002 is the year of transformation. After proper training of the top management, it realized that till date
Janakalyan was functioning without proper planning. Planning Meeting was introduced for the first time in the organization
to organize the activities in a systematic way after assessing the needs of the community in a participatory way. The
organization also gave emphasis on professionalizing the approach by recruiting the qualified employees like B.V.Sc., M.Tech.,
MSW, M.Com., MA graduates. A detailed Service Rules for Janakalyan was also adopted during the year. A few sets of
innovative programs also got introduced during the year. The year is termed as Mass Mobilization Year because lot of efforts
was put to organize the community in demanding their rights from the concerned authorities.

The year 2000-01 is an important year for Janakalyan wherein the top management of the organization undergone various
training at renown Institutes. Therefore, the same programs were continued during the year without much difference.
However, the major step initiated during the year was formation of a Cluster Level Federation of SHGs and starting a Milk
Marketing Center at Sindhanur through this Federation. Kitchen Garden Program was another innovative program to recycle
the water to grow vegetable in the house-yard. Most of the activities / programs got hindered during this year due to
improper management as the staffs were deputed for higher studies. However, a research study was undertaken during the
year in the Rehabilitation Project by the staff. The area of operation got extended to outside Rehabilitation Project.

 Annual Report 2013-14
The year 1999-2000 could be termed as Capacity Building Year for Janakalyan. Maximum effort was put to train the staff of
Year of Inception1997-98Year of Conceptualization 1998-99Year of Capacity Building1999-00

Janakalyan at various NGOs and Institutions through training and exposure. Awareness generation, training and exposure for
the community (woman & farmers), relation building with local officers, etc. were the major activities during the year. Fund
flow also started from this year. Women Development & Empowerment Program, Mahila Arthika Swavalambane Yojana,
Participatory Technology Development in Cotton, Dairy Development Program, and Child Labor Elimination Program were the
programs of the year. The important innovation of Janakalyan was Sansar Pathshala, Kishori Vikash Program, Shree Shakthi
Sabha and Sangha Darshini Samittee. The fourth mata i.e Ganga Mata was added to the objective upon suggesting it by most
of the distinguished visitors to Janakalyan.
Year 1998 began with new hopes. The concept of raising income level of the farmer was added with land reclamation (soil
fertility / health management and preserving it for the generations to come). It also worked out for subsidiary sources of
income for these communities and found animal husbandry as a viable option; started promoting the same along with
agriculture. By the end of the year it realized that raising the income level through its different approaches would not serve
the purpose if proper mechanism is not adopted to save the earned income; thus, started promoting Self Help Groups of
men and women. And thus the objective of Janakalyan was formulated as to serve 3 holy mothers i.e. Manavi Mata, Bhoo
Mata & Go Mata. It also started working with children, keeping education as the focal point through ASHA & Child Labor
Schools.
Janakalyan took birth in July 1997 with an objective to assist the refugees & repatriates to raise their income level through
intervention in the field of agriculture. It started working with farming communities with its own resources. The strategy
adopted to work with these peasant communities was awareness generation among the mass about the mistakes that they
have already done and the ways to rectify it. Training & exposure were 2 tools adopted to convince these farmers about the
proposition that Janakalyan was propagating about organic farming.
