JANAKALYAN: An Institution for Innovation Integrated Inspiring Interventions

From Directors Desk

I feel proud to present the Annual Report 2014-15 of Janakalyan to all
the stakeholders on the occasion of 18 th Anniversary of the institution!
The report briefly documents the important activities of the organization
carried out with various categories of target groups including children,
adolescents, women, farmers, artisans, leprosy affected beggars,
minorities and refugees at large. Janakalyan could touch upon all 7Es
during the year with one or the other interventions as narrated in 7
Chapters in the report.
Janakalyan follows a standard reporting format for Annual Report which
includes salient features of the year, a chapter each on 7Es, Impacts of long term interventions, Ideas in
Incubation, Documentation, Transparency & Accountability Disclosures, Abridged financial statements,
Foot Steps of Janakalyan, Glimpse of the year and Stakeholders of Janakalyan.
The year 2014-15 was a great year in terms of interventions as we could touch upon all the 7Es of
Janakalyan. Empowerment, Employment, Environment, Education, Energy, Entrepreneurship and
Ensuring health for all animals are the translated names of Jan Sanghatan, Jan Krishi, Jan Jal, Jan
Shiksha, Jan Shakti, Jan Udyog and Jan Raksha respectively. Though comparatively there was less
fund flow during the year but still the team is happy with the innovative interventions introduced with the
deserving target communities like leprosy affected beggars to stop begging, potential victims of child
marriage/ child labor to ensure post-metric education, rural women to reduce their health hazards, small
farmers to avoid suicide through water harvesting, refugees to ensure their constitutional rights, etc.
Though it was a good year in terms of creative programs but was equally difficult to manage these
activities due to constraints of funds. It had to sale the milk processing machines in order to manage the
affairs of the organization like the Maa Sarada Pre University College and the loan that is already
borrowed from various sources including my personal investments. The fundraising initiatives was very
strong and BHEL had shortlisted Janakalyan for its Jan Shiksha project but finally revision of their CSR
policy resulted in dropping our proposal. Similar is the case with Mahila Kishan Sashaktikaran
Pariyojana (MKSP) of National Rural Livelihood Mission. The proposal for UP was proposed to NRLM
Head Office by State Office and the proposal for Karnataka was also processed; however, due to policy
change, it is put in the pending list. Proposals to Government of Karnataka for CHSC, TBP CADA,
Cocacola foundation, Nippon Foundation, TERI, GiveIndia HNI Proposal, 35AC application, MDO to
GiveIndia, BHEL, Ministry of Minority Affairs, ONGC, IOCL, NTPC, SAIL, Aditya Birla Group, Coal
India, ASHA, Sitaram Jindal Foundation, SILF, Deshpande Foundation and NCLP.
Like every year, this year too, lot of time has been invested in fighting for the rights of refugees. Great
achievement during the year was that the team could succeed to finally get the survey done by the High
Level Committee constituted for recognition of Bengali communities as Scheduled Castes in Karnataka.
The committee resolved to recommend the case to Union Government. It gives immense pleasure to share
that the progress in the case of providing land right to these refugees is satisfactory as they are initiating
the preparation of map of the village as well as lands. Mother tongue education has already started and
the process of recruiting permanent teachers is also in the pipeline. Overall, the team is happy and
extends its gratitude to the stakeholders including donors, target groups and the society at large for being
given us an opportunity to serve.

the importance of these structures and started

creating such water banks in their farms with their
own investment or bank loan. This is what the
sustainability of the program mean and today
about 200 water banks are functioning in these
colonies. In addition to the assured yield,
vegetable, fish and milk fetches additional income
to the farming families. Consumption of farm fresh
vegetable and milk ensures their health security
too. The whole family can engage themselves in
the farm as it generates enough employment
through various productive units.
Field Day: To celebrated the success and also to exhibit to other fellow farmers, a Field Day was
organized on 19.11.2014 in the farm of Sri Lab Kumar Mistry in the presence of AGM NABARD, ADA,
SADH, ADA Veterinary, KVK, UAS and farmers of all 4 colonies. The statistics of the farmers could be
presented in the following table.

nvironment protection through innovative interventions in scarce areas through water banks
Farmers suicide is a common phenomenon in our country today; if we deeply think, it is not because of
debt he has borrowed but because of lack of assured irrigation. While borrowing the loan, he was very
much aware how much he is borrowing @ what rate of interest and how much he will have to repay on
what date. He was confident of repaying it once he grows in his farm. He did not commit suicide till the
crop condition was good but only when he failed to provide irrigation mainly due to drought. Imagine,
government could ensure 1 irrigation to his standing crops during this critical time, would the farmer
commit suicide? This is what Janakalyan is doing all these years by creating water banks. God gives
required quantum of water but the farmers make ways from their farms as there is no structure to store
it. Janakalyan helps the farmers to create such structures where they can store this excess water for life
saving irrigation (this water not only saves the lives of standing crops but also of the farmers). Water is
life in this sense is true.
Here is an example of Sharanappa Gouda of Belawaniki village of Ron taluk in Gadag district, which is
drought hit during current year. While all the
Year

onion) but Sharanappa could save his entire farm earning about Rs.20 lakhs with 1 life saving irrigation
during critical period. Janakalyan, with the financial
assistance of Give2Asia (Deshpande Foundation
Fund), has created 140 such water banks in last 5
years in Ron and Naragund taluks of Gadag district.
In other words, those many farmers suicides have
been avoided in addition to bringing additional food
security and environmental protection to the nation.
About 1977.65 acres of land has been brought
under assured irrigation. It is found that against an
investment of Rs.71,88,989, a net profit of
Rs.47,57,111 is gained during such a bad year by
these farmers.

nsuring health through innovative interventions of Janakalyan amongst rural masses

Dengue eradication: Finally Janakalyan had to intervene with the request of the Deputy Commissioner
of Raichur Sri Sashikant S Senthil, IAS to combat
dengue from Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project. It
was 4th consecutive year, hundreds of villagers were
suffering from Dengue and 3 lives were already
claimed. There was a panic in the villages when
more than 140 admitted in various hospitals.
Janakalyan, with the help of media and health
department, could eradicate the dengue from the
area. Series of awareness camps involving
government and private doctors in all villages was 1st
step followed by total reduction of sources with the
community participation. The campaign was so
effective that honorable Medical Education Minister of Karnataka Dr. Sharana Prakash Patil had to
come down to this tiny village in addition to the MP,
MLA and other leaders and entire district
administration. In addition, Janakalyan put up
additional beds in the local PHC and invited private
practitioners to complement government doctors in
treating the patient affected with dengue virus. This
helped to develop confidence level among the
community and the panic is reduced to some extent.
Thereafter, no single case of dengue is reported in
these colonies.
Swacch Bharat Mission: On 2nd October 2014, in line with
the whole nation, Janakalyan also initiated Swach Bharat
Mission initiatives in its operational villages.
Subsequently with the financial assistance of
NABARD, Janakalyan organized a huge awareness
rally involving more than 2000 persons including
students, youths, famers, women and village leaders
on 7th March 2015 followed by an oath taking
ceremony and a technical training on 13th March 2015.
It has become a regular phenomenon in the operational
villages of Janakalyan.
Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan: Hundreds of toilets have been constructed with
the intervention of Janakalyan with or without financial supports; many have
been leveraged from Gram Panchayat. However, for the lack of education,
how many of these are in use is a question. Different factors attribute to it
and Janakalyan realized that the most important among these is availability
hygiene kit (starter kit) with proper education. Therefore, with the support of
giveindia.org, Janakalyan is supporting the communities to change their

Post-metric education to avoid child marriage: Maa Sarada Pre University College is a unique rural
institute of Janakalyan in Hyderabad
Karnataka region to address twin problem
with single intervention. It avoids child
marriage/labor and its deadly consequences
by ensuring post-metric education to the
potential victims. Many of these students are
further continuing their education today who
would have otherwise become parents of 2-3
children by now. The following table gives a

Reducing dropouts from mainstream education: Studies and experiences of Janakalyan depict that the
dropouts of students from mainstream education is mostly because of financial issues at home. It is
further learnt that many of these dropouts are due to difficulties in arranging the school stationeries like

ntrepreneurship assurance to the leprosy affected beggars with innovative interventions of Janakalyan
Leprosy affected persons are beggars by compulsion; there are few self settled colonies of such people in
Hospet, Bellary and Raichur of Hyderabad Karnataka. Efforts are initiated to ensure their livelihoods
through innovative initiatives to stop begging. Vegetable cultivation and marketing in Mukti Ashrama of
Hospet, Chilly Pounding & Marketing for Daya Kendra of Bellary and Pan shop for Kashi Vishwanath
Kendra of Raichur are some of these initiatives with the support of Sasakawa India Leprosy Foundation
(SILF).

Rising Dignity Award 2015: On the occasion of Anti Leprosy Day on 30th January 2015, the successful
leprosy affected entrepreneurs of various states
were felicitated with the Rising Dignity Awards
2015 with a citation and cash prize of
Rs.100,000/- at New Delhi. The Union Railway
Minister Sri S Suresh Prabhu graced the
occasion.

Jan Shakti
nergy conservation for future with innovative interventions of Janakalyan in rural India
In this age of sophistication, each individual expects more luxuries at home, office or outside; this
demands more energy consumption and thus more heat generation causing global warming and its
deadly consequences are obvious. Janakalyan has come up with some strategic interventions which it
proposes to government to initiate in order to mitigate the global warming effects as listed belowa) Like kerosene, natural gases (fuel) shall be rationed with a per capita ceiling limit; anything
purchased over and above this limit, shall be levied with a heavy environmental surcharge and
without subsidy to discourage fuel use.
b) Age restriction shall be put on use of private vehicle; only senior citizens and physically challenged
could use private vehicles.
c) No private vehicle shall be allowed wherever there is public transport facility except for senior
citizens, physically challenged and patients.
d) Complete withdrawal of subsidy from fuel could also be thought of.
These are some of the strategies Janakalyan is advocating in order to
reduce
the
global
warming impacts on our
nation and for entire
globe for that matter. In
addition, it is trying in its
own way to reduce the
climate change effects
through
various
innovative interventions.
The efforts during the year were to promote Improved Cook Stoves
developed by TERI. Awareness generation about this model of cook
stove and promoting it with subsidized cost in the operational areas of
Janakalyan through SHGs

Impact Assessment
Impacts on primary target group of Janakalyan the refugees
Janakalyan has a tradition of putting the long term impacts on its primary target groups in black and
white every year. While various impacts have been recorded in the previous annual reports, some of the
important benefits of past (multiyear) interventions which are realized during the reporting period have
been illustrated in the subsequent paragraphs.
Caste Certificate: The effort to recognize some of the Bengali and Tamil communities as scheduled caste
in Karnataka was initiated since its inception. Government of Karnataka constituted as High Level
Committee on 26-03-2013. The 1st meeting of the committee was on 9-12-2013 wherein the committee
decided to conduct a survey of all these communities. To make it happen at the earliest, a meeting of all
Principal Secretaries the concerned departments and Chief Secretary of Karnataka in the chairmanship
of honorable Chief Minister was held on 3-1-2014 at Home Office Krishna. Accordingly, a household
survey was conducted on 23-15 May 2014 and a strong recommendation was submitted by the Deputy
Commissioner, Raichur to the High Level Committee on 26-06-2014. The committee met on 01-07-2014
and passed a GO to consider the Tamil communities as SC in Karnataka. The committee again met on
11.07.2014 but strongly recommended the case of Bengali communities to Government of India for
consideration.
Mother Tongue Education: Education in mother tongue is a constitutional right of any community
having their alphabets; Bengalis rehabilitated in Karnataka were deprived of this constitutional right for
years. With the efforts of Janakalyan, Government of Karnataka issued an order on 31.12.2012 to
consider Bengali as Second Language in Government schools of Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project.
Government provided guest teachers till Bengali teachers are recruited. Constant efforts have made
government to invite application for permanent posting and hopefully next academic year, they will be
in place.
Land Rights: It was at the cost of land of these displaced communities, the freedom of India was bought.
Had they been refused to give their land to Pakistan during partition, Independence of India would have
been a day dream; unfortunately, the same communities are refugees in divided India today.
Government has provided them with a piece of land in compensation to what they offered to Pakistan,
which they have developed over these years, but are still not owner of the same. Constant efforts of
Janakalyan for all these years have made government to issue an order to start preparation of map of
the land, first step towards providing right to the land.
Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY): Continuous efforts through community organizations have helped
us to bag Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana to these colonies; finally, the Member of Parliament of Koppal
constituency Sri Karadi Sanganna has proposed these colonies to Government of India to take up as
model village under SAGY. Several rounds of awareness and meetings with community have helped to
conceptualize and give a shape to the Village Development Plan (VDP) of SAGY.

Ideas in Incubation
Journey ahead to Janakalyan support seeking from donor communities
A lot has been achieved in these 18 years but more needs to be done with the support all the stakeholders
including the donor communities. Experiences of all these years have taught Team Janakalyan many things which
needs to be deployed for the benefits of wider sections of the society in the years to come. In order to expand its
area of operation, additional resources are necessary and there is the role of haves towards the have-nots.
Therefore, we pray all the resourceful people of the nation to support generously in reaching these unreached
through our innovative interventions as listed below1) Replication of Proven Models: Over the years, Janakalyan has developed various tested rural models for
Empower ment, Employment, Environment, Education, Energy, Entrepreneurship and Ensuring health of all
animals (7Es). These tested models are to be replicated in other areas with the deserving communities to bring
them at par with others in the same localities.
2) Ensuring Post-metric education: In the rural areas, people still hesitate to send their girl children to cities for
post-metric education due to various reasons. Instead, they are forced for child marriage/ child labors. Several
efforts have yielded no results and thus Janakalyan has developed a model of rural education institutes.
Sustainability of the same model needs to ensured and then replicated in other similar areas.
3) Water is Life: Water is Life we have heard but r ealized its true meaning only when water started claiming the
lives of farmers. In true sense, suicides of farmers are not due to debt that they have borrowed but due to
lack of water that r esulted in crop failure. To address this severe issue of farmer suicide, Janakalyan has a
tested model which needs to be replicated in drought prone areas.
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.
The following are the action plan of Janakalyan for the years to come with the support of all the concerned

Rural Education

Footsteps of Janakalyan.
Janakalyan completed 18 th year of operation in 2014-15! Whole efforts were concentrated in ensuring post-metric education to rural
children through its own institute to avoid child marriage / child labor. In addition, scholarship @ Rs.2000 pa, monthly stipend of
Rs.400 pm, artisan tool kits to supplement family income to ensure children are in schools, etc. are some initiatives to improve rural
education. Establishing mother language education through government schools was another effort. Government of Karnataka
recommended to consider Bengali communities to consider as SC in Karnataka. In addition, the regular initiatives continued.
The year 2013-14 being 17 th year of Janakalyan, it is termed as year of Paradigm Shift; shift is seen in diversification of 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 beggars and many more. However, more time was also spent
for refugee rights during the year while more investment was 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
8 th 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 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 designed with www.jankalyana.org instead of www.jankalyan.in.
Janakalyan Annual Report 2010-11 was selected as top 10 best annual reports in the country by CSO Partners. National Alliance of
refugees initiated in Karnataka.
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 12 th 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.
The year (2006-07) is the year of recognition wherein Janakalyan built a strong network with government as well as non-government
agencies. Government assigned many planning tasks to Janakalyan in the district such as perspective plan for NREGA, Suvarna

18th Year

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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
