 Annual Report 2012-13
From Director’s Desk
It indeed brings great pleasure to me to present the 16th Annual Report of Janakalyan
on its 17th Foundation Day! The year 2012-13 would be written on golden letters as 2
important stones were unveiled during the year as mark of successes! The 8 th January
2013 was observed as 1st Annual Day of Maa Sarada Pre University College on the eve
of 160th Birth Anniversary of Holy Mother and the new building of the institute was
opened by Swami Muktidananda Maharaj, President of Ramakrishna Ashrama, Mysore
in the holy pres ence of Swami Jnanananda Maharaj of Ramakrishna Ashrama,
Natarama Palli, Tamil Nadu and other distinguished guests. The stone erected on this
occasion will tell the tale of the building throughout its life.
1st March 2013 was another important day in the history of the Bengali refugees
resettled in Karnataka! The delegates, writers, poets, intellectuals, local leaders and
government officers together celebrated “Matribhasha Vijay Divas” and unveiled the
“Matribhasha Vijay Stambh” as mark of victory of establishing Bengali as second
language in government schools. The stone will tell the tal e of the efforts put to provide
the mother tongue to the future generations of Bengali refugees in Karnataka; they will
now have an opportunity to learn their mother tongue!
26th March 2013 is another most important day in the history of Bengali refugees in
Karnatak a as Government of Karnataka has issued a Gazette Notification (SWD 157 SAD
2009) to constitute a high level committee chaired by Additional Chief Secretary of
Karnatak a and 3 commissioners of highest rank; the committee is to recommend the
points to be considered in order to issue caste certificate to the Namasudra
communities.
Government of Karnataka has also issued several other orders and instructions for
voting rights, ration card, l and rights and other issues of these refugees during the year.
Therefore, Janakalyan has termed the year as “Fi ght for Rights ” and dedicated it to the
primary target groups of Janakalyan.
However, it is worth mentioning here that the year was equally bad in terms of funding
in the history of Janakalyan. It had to borrow huge loan to complete the college
building after investing all its savings/corpus for the same. Further, the recurring
expenses of the college itself were several times more than the fees that the student
paid. When nobody came forward for investing in the college, I had to put my whole
life’s savings in to it but still had a credit in lakhs. I really don’t know how to repay this
loan?
It would be wrong on my part if I don’t put on record few names who made it possible
to complete the huge project of college building; they are the contractor Sri Tarun
Mondal, Sri Jeetendra of Mahendra Hardware, Sri Gautam of Anand Electricals, Md Syed
Mittimani of Welding Shop and Sri Gorachand Carpenter.
Finally, I must tank the selfless Governing Board, the dedicated team of professionals,
the supportive donors and more important the target groups of Janakalyan, who made
Janakalyan to survive for all these 16 years! We will prove our existence in days to come!

NiBBUSS for finally for responding to one of Mistry, Sri Krishnadhan Biswas, Sri Ja gadish
the long pending issues of rehabilitated Bawali, Sri Anil Roy and Sri Subhash Mondal.
communities in Sindhanur taluk of Raichur
District! Out of several constitutional demands
of these Bengali communities, Government of
Karnataka has finally issued an order to teach
‘Bangla’ as second language in local
government schools (Government Order No: ED
34 PMC 2012 date 31.12.2012).
It was not that easy but a long struggle of more
than 15 years which yielded result in 2012-13
and generations of Bengali communities residing
in Karnataka would study their mother tongue
and retain the language and culture outside
Bangla border. It made NiBBUSS team proud
and happy. The achievement was celebrated on
1 st March 2013 as “ Matribhasha Vijay Divas” Matribhasha Vijay Divas – left vie w
in the presence of delegates of 14 states of India
including poets, writers, intellectuals and
activists.
The government officers of education
department and elected representatives who
cooperated during the fight were felicitated on
the occasion. A ‘Bhasha Vijay Stambh’ was
erected to remember the day.
Rese rvation: Major share of the rehabilitated
Bengali communities are from Namasudra,
Rajbanshi and Poundra communities; these
Matribhasha Vijay Stambh unveile d
castes are recognized as Scheduled Caste (SC) in
West Bengal and other 6 states but not in
Karnataka. The fight started long back in 1996
and various strategies adopted during these long
years. It is during this year, Government of
Karnataka has issued a gazette notification on

Create Multiple Sources of Income in Small Farms –
Inculcate a habit of diversified cropping pattern to distribute the risk of crop failure
Multiple Sources of Income – risk distribution
Ve rmicomposting – recycling the wastes

Annual Report 2012-13
Thanks to NABARD for supporting a farm
based innovation under the Farmers T echnology
Transfer Fund (FTTF) to create a model for tail
end farmers of T ungabhadra Irrigation Project!
Growth of population and land fragmentation
has reduced the per capita land availability. T his
posed the food insecurity to the small farmers.
This is also because of the mono-cropping and
inadequate irrigation at tail end of T ungabhadra
irrigation project. Though we have enough
runoff generated during the rainy season for
which make way out of our farm and later blame
God or Government for not providing irrigation.
To enhance the productivity and income level of
these farmers, Janakalyan developed a model to
inculcate the habit of diversified cropping
pattern to distribute the risk of crop failure. To
begin with, the intervention started with 5
farmers while it is planned to demonstrate with
another 10 farmers. T he productive units
demonstrated in the farms are –
1) Fish in the Water Bank
2) Fodder with milch animals
3) Vermicompost for soil fertility improvement
4) Vegetable cultivation
In addition, some fruit and firewood trees are
also planted on the bunds of the water bank. The
model is tested with more than 50 farmers in
past and has come up as a replicable model for
any tail end of irrigation project in India.
Concept of cost sharing is introduced to develop
the sense of ownership among the farmers on the
assets created.
NABARD has played an important role in
reducing the wastage of food grains with the
Grameen Bhandara Yojana by promoting of
rural go-downs. Similar scheme needs to be
promoted by NABARD in order to harvest this
runoff by creating “Water Bank” to reduce
wastage of every drop of water.

Ensure Water to Ensure Food Security –
Provide a water bank to your child than a house; house i s for urban child while ‘water bank’ for rural

Thanks to Give2Asia (Deshpande Foundation

fund) for supporting a farm based innovation to
create a model for tail end farmers of
Malaprabha Irrigation Project in Gadag district
of Karnataka! All tail ends of any irrigation
projects in India are exposed to 2-extremes of
water availability. The farmers lose their
standing crop due to inundation in rainy season
while it gets dried up during peak season for
lack of irrigation. In order to bring the farmers
out of this trap, Janakalyan has developed an
innovative model to create a “water bank” in all
such farms to harvest the excess water during
rainy season and use it for lifesaving irrigation
during peak season.
Janakalyan believes that if water security is Water Bank excavated to store excess water
ensure to the farming communities, they will
ensure the food security of the nation. Therefore,
urges the farming communities to create a water
bank for their children instead of a house for
them. With the support of Deshpande
Foundation, Janakalyan has already created
about 45 water banks in the Gadag district in the
last 3 years as provided in the following table-
Number of 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 Total

Total Sanitation Campaign –
Participation is the way to real development, 200 toilets built in 25 days

Thanks to Infosys Foundation for the support

through Kottala Basaveshwara Bharatiya
Shikshana Samsthe for supporting construction
of 200 toilets in Sindhanur Rehabilitation
Project! It was to our wonder that community
participation could ensure completion of
construction of 200 toilets in only 25 days
without investing a single rupee. It is the
credibility of Janakalyan that without any formal
documentation, 200 families invested more than
Rs.40 lakhs to construct 200 toilets believing
that Janakalyan would certainly give the
200 toilets lokarpan – che que distribution
promised grant of Rs.8000 per toilet. On the
contrary, the same community is not ready to
invest for the toilets to get grant from Gram
Panchayat though the amount is higher
(Rs.9800) than what Janakalyan has promised.

The lokarpan of these 200 toilets was done in the

presence of Sri Basavaraj Patil Sedam (MP) and
Sri Vasudevrao Deshpande of Infosys
Foundation along with cheques for each
beneficiary. T he intervention did not stop there
but it is ensured by Janakalyan team that each of
these 200 toilets is being used hygienically. The
senior citizens, the pregnant women and
adolescent girls have thanked the foundation for

De centralize d Education: Ancient India had
gurukul education centers in rural areas whereas
in modern days the education centers are
concentrated in urban cities. T he rural poor do
not have access to such education due to various
factors including economic reason. Janakalyan
initiated a reverse trend to provide higher
education to the rural poor at their doorstep. The
Maa Sarada Pre University College started
during the year and the new building was also
inaugurated in the same year in the presence of
Swamijis from Ramakrishna Ashrams. About 57
students are learning in this institute, major
share being adolescent girls from rural areas.
Otherwise, these girls are generally married at
the age of 14-16 years. This institute basically
caters to the needs of these adolescent girls.
The formal inauguration of the college was held
on 24 th June 2012 in the gracious presence of
Swami Veereshwaranand Maharaj of
Ramakrishna Ashrama, Mysore. About 200
mothers and senior citizens were honored to get
their blessings with clothes on this auspicious

accepting the ideas of Janakalyan to cope up
with the challenges of global warming and
climate change! Several self supported efforts
have been tried with the farming communities
to replace application of non-renewable
sources of energies with renewable sources.
Introduction of pedal pump, pressure pump to
lift water from the tanks without electricity or
fuel is one such effort. Recycling of crop wastes
and cow excreta for soil fertility improvement in
place of chemicals, improved chullah, biogas
plants, etc. are some of these initiatives to
promote usage of renewable sources of energy.
Growing more and more firewood trees is
another way to cope up with the climate
change by replacing what the farmers take out
of the environment for own consumptions.
Otherwise, this effort could be termed as
balancing the environment.

What Next?
Journey ahead to Janakalyan

Lots have been achieved during the last 16 years of development journey of Janakalyan with the support
of our esteemed donors and cooperation of the target communities; however, there is long way to go to
make these communities empowered and self reliant!

Janakalyan plans few important interventions in the days to come which are briefed below-
1) Decentralized Education: In ancient days, the gurukul education system prevailed wherein the
students used to go to Ashram (usually located in neighborhood of villages) to gain knowledge and
experience from the nature. But in present days, the education centers are concentrated in urban
cities beyond the reach of rural children. It is therefore the gap between urban India and rural
Bharat is increasing day by day. Janakalyan proposes to reverse the present trend and draw the
attention of urban children to the rural areas by creating state of art education centre in rural areas.
This will not only provide practical experience to the students but also the fresh environment for
their growth. In addition, the rural children will have the access to the education of equal standard.
2) Water Bank: Water is life and assured water to the farming community can ensure food security the
whole nation. We have enough water but lack in storage structures. We make way to water when
have in excess but blame God or Government in scarcity. Janakalyan plans to create Water Bank for
each farm to harvest each drop of water and make effective use of it. Janakalyan urges the
community, government and developmental agencies to ensure that each farmer creates ‘Water
Bank’ for his child than a house.
3) National Alliance: Janakalyan team has enough expertise in addressing the issues of refugees and
managing natural resources for livelihood improvement, especially in the tail ends of irrigation
projects in India. Janakalyan plans to deploy its expertise in similar contexts all over the country
through a national alliance of likeminded agencies and communities.
4) Human Resource for Rural Development: There are unknown numbers of institutions in the country
who are creating human resources; but none of them are oriented to work in rural areas having no
or little infrastructures. Even the person from rural areas starts job hunting in urban cities.
Janakalyan wishes to establish a Human Resource Development Centre where the person would be
trained in rural development and oriented / motivated / brainwashed to work in rural areas with
deprived communities.
The estimated cost of these proposed interventions are tabulated below-
Sl. No. Proposed Project Period (years) Amount (INR)
1 Decentralized Education 6 years 21,00,00,000
2 Water Bank 7 years 18,00,00,000
3 National Alliance 5 years 5,00,00,000
4 Human Resource for Rural Development 10 years 10,00,00,000
Total fund requirement 54,00,00,000
Janakalyan has a dedicated team to transfer your resources to the deserving groups and needs about Rs.54
crores to accomplish the above targets. We urge for your generous support ONLINE and/or reques t you to
depos it the same in our State Bank of India account No.30168833165 having IFSC SBIN0007861 in favor of

Footsteps of Janakalyan
Year of Inception

Janakalyan took birth in July 1997 with an objective to assist the refugees & repatriates to raise their income
1997-98

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.
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
1998-99

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.
The year 1999-2000 could be termed as Capacity Building Year for Janakalyan. Maximum effort was put to train

the staff of 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.
The year 2000-2001 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
2000-01

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.
The year 2001-2002 is the year of transformation. After proper training of the top management, it realized that
Year of Professionalization

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
2001-02

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

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.
The year 2003-04 is the year of confidence building. An organization working with all sections of society as
