Introducing Haybox in Orissa Manufacturing and selling hay boxes can be a good livelihood activity for women in the villages and also supports bamboo weavers if the product can be marketed well.
My Journey As a Chemical Engineer, I feel very much disturbed that the
contribution from us has been very less [mostly negligible] to overcome
such problems.

| Bhilwara Social Audit, 2009 Invite |
|
We
have been contacted by several groups and networks from across the country
about receiving training for social audit processes based on our experiences in
Rajasthan and elsewhere. Many groups from other states found it very useful to participate
in the District social audit that took place in Dungarpur District in April
2006. One objective of the district social audit in Bhilwara, is to provide
this kind of learning experience while being organically connected, and
contributing to an ongoing process at a grass root level. For this
purpose it is a requirement that volunteer participants come for the whole 13
day period from the 30th of September to the 12th of
October 2009. It
would be helpful if the people who come have a working knowledge of Hindi. If
there are larger numbers coming from non-Hindi speaking areas, they must bring
their own translators along. The whole activity will be carried out with the
support of local people who will feed and house people during the padyatra in the
villages. The Exercise The
ROZGAR EVUM SUCHNA KA ADHIKAR ABHIYAN has proposed that upto two thousand
people will divide into 135 groups with approximately 10-15 people in each
group. After a three day preparatory process and orientation in Bhilwara town,
they will go out across the district to visit as many panchayats, villages and
works as possible across the district. During this time, each group will visit
villages ( as mapped out in the three day workshop) with primarily two
objectives in mind. One would be spreading awareness about the NREGA
through various modes; and the second would be daily reporting from each of the
groups from worksites of the NREGA and from the villages visited, about actual
implementation of the provisions as per the requirements in the NREGA
Guidelines. The teams will carry a checklist of essential entitlements of
workers, and it is hoped that there can be immediate redressal of grievances,
by informing the district administration based on the daily reports. There will
be one team in each block that will do an intensive post facto social audit of
one panchayat. The following is the proposed programme : Programmes By Air: The closest airports are Udaipur
(165 kms ) or Jaipur (270 kms) by road Note: The district
administration and the Abhiyaan are looking for the most suitable place to host
thousand people in Bhilwara. In the mean while we would like to request that
you make your travel plans, and inform us by email srabhiyan@gmail.com, hrmsoni@gmail.com, rtiraj@gmail.com, mkssrajasthan@gmail.com, and pass messages of numbers
