Brief Report by Purva Banthiya :-

No matter how jovial we are, no matter how disappointed we go. Ultimately we have to move on and smile. Smile by doing what we like not by emulating others. With this exact set up strategy in our minds we the members of AnantAman social welfare soceity  headed towards our new destination. A venue which was hard to find as almost everyone of us discovered new unfolded pathways which in future might carry broaden horizons although it wasn't actually our present destination. Finally we assembled around 7:45 am with shivering hands and blizzardly faces we reached naya school, Malendi village near Mhow. The Panchayat people - Sarpanch , Aganwadi workers , ASHA workers greeted us and played a very crucial role in organising Health camp. Actually it was a free Health check up so as to spread awareness and uplift health status. It was under the supervision of Miss Raksha Goyal and Dr Arvind Jagnari .

The camp encompassed the following - body health check up, blood sugar test and urine test. People from the village  supported well and discussed their issues. Overall 150 registrations occured without any mess because of the support of dedicated members of our team- Varnini, Umang, Hitesh , Ankit, Palav, Purva and no doubt president of our ngo Hemant Gupta is always our forte. Monitoring,  surveillance and feedback are the major tools to be noted by any governing body. SDM(Mhow) Mr. Sandeep Rajapaa sir approached the camp and took an overview of all the task done . It's always a matter of pride being honoured by such  an ardent persona and so SDM sir merrily provided acknowledgement to one of the most dedicated member of our group Mr Raksha goyal. Although India lost the series this time but yet won the last match. As it is truly acceptable that if end is well all is well. So around 2 pm we packed up . After that we were offered lunch by the people of Malendi itself. It's always a matter of delight having traditional food and that too when served with so much of fondness with extreme care. Now we moved on with a promise of coming soon in the scorching heat but with soothing minds by enlightening 'आस' in the mass.

"श्रमदान"

क्या हम अपने घर में कचरा फेंकते हैं, कभी नहीं ।
क्या अपने घर की सफीई करना निम्न कार्य है, नहीं ।
क्या हम अपने मेहमान से सफई कराते हैं, बिलकुल नहीं ।
क्या उस घर में ईशवर का वास होता है, जो स्वच्छ नहीं, कभी नहीं ।
- उमंग

ईश्वर ने प्रकृति के रूप में जो हमें अनमोल तौफा दिया है , उसे लौटना तो इंसान के बस में नहीं , लेकिन जिस प्रकर्ति के कारण हमारा जीवन चल रहा है उसके लिए कुछ करना हमारा कर्तव्य है जिससे हमें कभी नहीं चूकना चाहिए । भले वो वृक्षारोपण हो या प्रकर्ति की सफाई करना , भले वो किसी की मदद करना हो या हमेशा सत्य की राह पे चलना , हर काम अंत में प्रकर्ति में ही सम्लित होता है , तो ये हमारी नैतिक ज़िम्मेदारी है की हम प्रकर्ति को वैसा ही शुद्ध तौफा दे जैसा उसने हमें दिया है , हमारी हर सांस तक प्रकर्ति की देन है , रोज़ मर्रा की दिक्कते और दिन चर्या के कामो में इंसान इतना व्यस्त हो जाता है की वो अपना मूल कारण भूल जाता है , जो की है परमात्मा से मिलन , प्रकर्ति भी ईश्वर का ही स्वरुप है , अगर आप प्रकर्ति से मेलजोल बनाये रखेंगे तो ईश्वर का  हाथ भी आप पे अपने आप रहेगा , मैं "अनंत अमन सोशल वेलफेयर सोसाइटी" का धन्यवाद करना चाहता हूँ की उन्होंने मुझे इस काबिल समझा और प्रकर्ति एवं परमात्मा

से मिलने और उसके साथ समय बिताने का मौका दिया ।

No choice but begging

At 56shops, 28th August 2015

A girl: Please give me some money. I'll buy something to eat.

Me: No I'll not give you money but if you are really hungry I'll buy you something to eat.

Girl: No but I need money.

Me: You said you were hungry.

Girl: Give me money I have to buy something for grandmother as well.

Me: What about your parents?

Please

Girl: I don't know. I live with grandmother.

Me: What is your name?

Girl: I don't know.

Me: Where do you live?

Girl: Nanda Nagar..

Me: That's too far from here. Why do you come here?

Girl: I get good money at 56shops.

Me: Your Grandmother asks you to come here?

Girl: No. I come by my own.

Me: Do you study?

Girl: I want to but I don't have time.

That was a moment which stuck me in deep thoughts..

She appeared to be around 7-8years of age, very weak in physical appearance yet full of energy even after a hot day. I desperately wanted to help her but I didn't wanted to give money. I was helpless. 

We know she could go to a government school where she will be provided with one time meal but what about her grandmother who was unable to work. All responsibility of her family was on her shoulders. Though she was begging on streets, but she did get something to eat at end of the day after all she had no choice because she couldn't be employed anywhere due to regulations prohibiting child labour. Now she has only one choice — begging. 

Lets assume a different scenario..

What if government prohibited child labour subject to certain terms and conditions, like they always do in other acts and laws like IT. If condition were like children could be employed at day time only if they attended school in morning or night, regularly or on alternate days. There attendace would be monitored to get them employment. I know many would be offending my opinion but i do belive that working at a good place and earning someting is far better than begging. Providing them work and earning opportunities only if they are regular to school will certainly help. Many people would be holding an argument that we can't ask children to work, but do these people really feel that children aren't working already. When they will have a fix amount coming in at the end of a day they would be less worried about what they will eat. Thus they will have some interest towards school. There are many success stories of people who started working at very young age and became pioneers in there field. So why not children on streets get a chance to earn something with respect. 

Some facts and figures..

I personally observed at 56 shops that number of children begging for money are constantly increasing. Towards end of august I noticed two girls who regularly wandered there. By end of September there were 4-5 children who were frequently observed there.. Somehow there numbers are increasing on streets this is the matter of concern.

Educational Survey at Sagarpaisa village

Briefing of Educational Survey

Date : 11^th April, 2015 Saturday

Village Name : SagarPaisa

Gram Panchayat : Kacharod

Block/District : Indore

Respondent’s Name : Mr. Mahesh Bhatia (Principle)

                                  Mr.Ravi Singh Sisodiya (Teacher)

A small village 30 kms away from Indore city named as SagarPaisa. A calm place with 150-175 households and population 1000-1500. It takes about an hour to reach there from Indore city. Literacy level at village is 30-40%.

After reaching village, we have visited government school over there. We were responded by Mr. Mahesh Bhatia, Mr. Ravi Singh Sisodiya. We questions them and we found that, the school had established in year 2005 and consists of both Primary and Secondary.

There are 4 teachers who are handling primary school, since, there is no teacher appointed for secondary sections so primary school teachers are teaching to secondary school students. The total strength of students are 143 consist of 84 boys and 59 girls. On the day of visit approx 118 students were present.

We analysed those kids knowledge with some acivities such as poem reading and board writing, asking about their future goals, inquired about their background and daily schedules.

Children over there are less aware with the technology and new emerging trends in the society. They need career guidance and motivation to study ahead. Children were shy, little confused seeing the new faces inquiring and instructing them.

While interacting with students we found that some students are sharp in studies and some students who are in 6^th Standard and can’t even write their names in Hindi. Students are very weak in English language.

Many Students are regular but the problem with irregular student is that they aren't getting support from family due to their financial insecurity. Major occupation in the SagarPaisa village is agriculture work and labor work.

As information provided by Mr. Mahesh Bhatia, children at SagarPaisa village belongs to Barela Samaj and speaks more in the language preferred in their family.

Government provide an amount of rs.5000 to school for their maintenance and many times to avail some facility for students teachers pay from their own pockets. The staff of school is supportive. Books are provided by the government but students have to arrange for the stationeries by themselves.

Many problems were faced by the students coming from other village and even by the teachers, as no proper roads are there to reach at village. People have to cross a small river in between SagarPaisa and ticha village which is very risky. Many official authorities and politicians have acknowledged this problem and promised villagers to solve it as soon as possible but still problem prevails and the outcomes are not satisfactory. Although there is possibility from next month under Pradhan Mantri Sadak Yojna the bridge will construct overthere.

In this survey it was also found that there are no proper medical facilities in village, people have to move approx 7 kms to get treatment. On a scheduled day of week i.e. on every Tuesday, Dr. Mrs.Gyatri appointed by government come for visit in village for health checkup.

Children study on floor by matting down the daris, not a single desk is available. Total 4-5 chairs are there and that to arranged by teachers on their own. No Separate toilets are there for boys and gilrs.

Another major problem in village is lack of Water. They are struggling for consumable drinking water and water to be used by school in preparation of mid-day meals for children.
