EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

The Samagra Anusuchit Jaati Anusuchit Janjaati Mahasangh (SAJAJJM) is a non-profit making
volunteer organization which came into existence on 27-06-11 as a civil society registered
under society registration act 1860. Since its inception the organization has started functioning
towards reaching the predefined goals of providing the rights and entitlement of the most
marginalized rural folks living in the remote areas.

The thought behind the setting up of the organization was that on the on hand in the urban
areas except urban slum there is expedited development in infrastructure and also in the living
standard of the people but on the other hand in rural areas the people are deprived of even
their basic need of food, shelter, education, health etc. there is no sign of any development
since ages, no basic infrastructure available in these areas. The most of the families in the rural
areas are the most marginalized among them women and children are the most vulnerable to
the underdevelopment of the areas as they have to face various types of discrimination
including the gender-based discrimination that women and the girl children have to suffer the
most. India is considered to be the country of villages the development of India depends on the
development of villages but due to extreme negligence the villagers are compelled to suffer the
most. There are numerous villages in Jharkhand where villagers have no accessibility to any
facilities being provided by the government. They are unaware of their rights and entitlements.
Two round meal is their priority. It is a day dream for them to avail the basic infrastructure like
safe drinking water, electricity, livelihood opportunities, educational opportunities, health
facilities etc. In search of livelihood a large number of villagers migrate to the neighboring
states and many of them fall victims of trafficking mainly girls and children. The condition there
is not at all satisfactory.

SAJAJJM is committed to do something for the most marginalized people of the villages in
Jharkhand and availing their basic need of food, clothes, shelter, education and health facilities.
SAJAJJM believes that the development of our country and the state Jharkhand is fully
dependent on the development of all the villagers living particularly in the rural and the urban
slum. We believe in people’s participation towards well-being of women and children without
any disparity of caste, creed, religion and race. Gender equity is one of our major parts of
action; we sensitize masses for gender equality towards reducing the gender discrimination so
as to equal participation of every member of the family towards their overall development. Our
well-planned intervention in villages has attracted the community particularly from the most
marginalized section of families to actively participate in our programmes. Our dedicated
activists are committed to work for the upliftment of the deprived and the most marginalized
section of men, women and children for their education, health and livelihood.

The primary beneficiaries of the program shall be the targeted vulnerable groups of orphans
who have no one to care for them. This will improve their lives hence being in line with the
millennium development goal of reducing illiteracy level among the rural poor especially the
developing nations. Such initiatives facilitate and promote family educational, health and social
needs.
PROJECT AREA BACKGROUND INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

The education of the world’s children is high on the global agenda. In the context of education
for all (EFA), all children should receive free, good quality education. The reality is that millions
of the world’s children are too poor to benefit from the declaration, unless there are special
interventions that target their development. Unfortunately, such children do not form a special
social category in poverty eradication intervention program, thus, their inclusion in the
achievement of EFA appears to be a hit-or-miss phenomenon. Cognizant of the central role of
poverty reduction, that is in wider global agenda and acknowledging the need to reach out to
the poorest children with the objective to break the poverty cycle for them, SAJAJJM embarked
on a program of education and poverty eradication.

The Project aims at solving the problems hidden by the fact that orphans and vulnerable
children are invisible; yet by the very nature of their situation, they are included among those
that are classified as disadvantaged and poor in India. Children are subsumed within the
poverty categories most often referred to such as households, communities, people – which
means that there is a high tendency to focus on adult-related poverty while child problems are
ignored, partly because children have little power and influence within a group that contains
adults.

Findings reflect that children in abject problems can be recognized by rather elementary (as
opposed to sophisticated) criteria. Top on the list is absence of necessities such as shelter, food,
clothing and water. Equally important is the ‘human condition’ in terms of physical health and
parental care and protection. Schooling is high on the list as a critical criterion in determining
who is extremely or modestly a vulnerable and disadvantaged child.

While there seems to be national consensus among donors, the public sector and civil society
that the government has made commendable progress in implementing PEAP (Poverty
Eradication Action Plan) as flexibly as possible, its evolving nature, due to the participatory and
consultative reviews it undergoes regularly, does not address many of development challenges
Disadvantaged children face today. It would take lobbying and advocacy interventions to
ensure that the needs and demands of children in abject poverty are met.

CHALLENGE

India is home to 2.5 million orphans and 1.3 million Children have been orphaned due to
AIDS/HIV. More orphans suffer a host of physical, sociological and psychological problems
including lack of nutrition, education, and abuse. Only 5% have hope of completing a minimal
level of education. Without assistance they will be uneducated, unskilled, and destitute adults.
We concentrate our efforts in providing an atmosphere where they receive individualized
attention, with the support of a family.

Despite India ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Children in 1992 to
work towards child rights, we still have a long way to go. India needs to use aggressive
corrective measures to address malnutrition, infant mortality, low school enrollment and other
issues. Identifying these issues with their complexities enables civil society, governments, and
individual strategies to resolve them. With socially conscious corporations and citizens who
donate to charity, child rights are today a cause for everyone.

1. Health issues

Diarrhea and malnutrition are two of India’s biggest killers of children under the age of 5. Along
with poor access to nutritious foods, both these issues are linked to poor hygiene, as infections
trigger mineral depletion and loss of appetite. India finds prominent mention in the annual
global tally of deaths of children under the age of 5. For every 1,000 live births, 42 die, and
every 20 seconds a child dies from preventable causes like pneumonia, preterm and birth
complications, newborn infections, diarrhea and malaria. National Family Health Survey (NFHS)
India 2006 estimates show that 61 million children under the age of 5 are stunted, and 53
million are underweight. Another 25 million have a low weight to height ratio. One-third of the
world's 'wasted' children live in India, and rampant in rural areas, among scheduled tribes.

2. Survival issues
India leads the global tally of child (ages 0 – 5) deaths – 1.2 million deaths were reported in
2015, a quarter of 5.9 million child deaths worldwide. Another finding reported that 1.83
million children die every year before their fifth birthday (of 26 million children born annually).
Children from India's poorest communities are at a higher risk of death before 5. There are
sharp inequities in mortality rates across India - under 5 mortality rates in Kerala is much lower
(14 deaths per 1000 live births) than Madhya Pradesh (92 per 1000). At 1.83 million, India has
the highest child deaths in the world.

3. Lack of education

A UN report recently revealed that India is home to the world’s largest population of illiterate
adults (287 million), and contributes 37% of the global total. While the latest data shows that
literacy rose from 48% (1991) to 63% (2006), population growth cancelled out these gains,
meaning no effective change in the number of illiterates. Primary education spending is a
decider in literacy, as seen in Kerala, one of India’s most literate states of the country, where
education spending per pupil was about $ 685. Educational disparities are noticed in richer and
poorer states. However, girl child education requires not only investment but also social
awareness that educated girls are a valuable asset. Today, India ranks 123 among 135 countries
in female literacy.

4. Exploitation in the form of child labour

India has the world’s most number of people under ‘modern slavery’ – 14 million. This includes
slave labour conditions like bonded labour, sex trafficking, child labour, domestic ‘help’ etc.
Children today continue to be employed in hazardous occupations - over 12 million children
(aged 5 – 14) work in construction, manufacturing of beedis, bangles and fireworks industry. A
2016 amendment to Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 hasn't established a
blanket ban, instead legalizing a form of child labour by allowing children to work in family
enterprises, creating scope for misuse.

5. Violence and abuse

In 2013, India was among the top 5 countries with the highest rate of child sexual abuse. A 2013
report by the Asian Centre for Human Rights revealed that sexual offences against children in
India were at an “epidemic” level – citing, over 48,000 rape cases between 2001 to 2011, and a
337% increase in child rape cases from 2001 (2,113 cases) to 2011 (7,112 cases). Child sex
abuse (CSA) occurs across geographies, economic levels, and even across relationships –
strangers, friends, family members had all been perpetrators. In 2012, 9500 child and
adolescent murders were reported, making India the third largest contributor to child homicide
(WHO 2014, Global Health Estimates). One in 3 adolescent girls experiences violence (physical,
sexual or emotional), from significant others.

knowledge of sustainable living. Provide an opportunity for children to live in congenial
atmosphere with parental love.
