Training Program at Christoson Munda Memorial Training Centre
STRATEGIES AND APPROCH
Empowering the community is the key to sustain the development process. One of the main pillars of empowerment is economic/livelihood sustainability. We aim at economic sustainability of the target community by providing knowledge, skill/training, demonstration and backup support.
The Self-Help Group is the main tool for development. In fact this lead one to be aware of his/her presents status and opt for betterment of his/her future. The SHG movement is being taken place in the area and now the communities are eager and open to take up other livelihood options.
Strategy: Socio-economic development through SHG by practices of sustainable livestock management and improved agriculture development.
The improvement in economic status is a must for a human being to have dignified living standard. But this effort must come from the community itself. All this while various Charity organizations tried their best and raised the living standard of the poor but with the end of their charity projects, the standard which they had raised was back to the earlier or worst standard.
The new Approach has been adopted for Development. It is now the age of Right Based approach and PAD has changed its strategies for development Activities. Another intervention PAD is planning to do is in Panchayat Raj Institution.

.
MAIN PROGRAMS WHICH WE HAD DURING LAST FEW YEAR ARE :-
1. Awareness camps; -
PAD has conducted many Awareness camps to create Awareness and Motivated people to take up initiative for development of their village and family. Through these programs we try to identify the major problems and issues of the village .SHGs are the most suitable tool for social change in rural and tea garden areas through SHG rural people, specially women united and empowered financially mentally to fight back against poverty, illiteracy, social evils and disease .Therefore we emphasis on organizing SHG in the village . These awareness programs are planned such a way that the participant feels the need of SHG and they take initiative to form SHG. Story telling, Games, lecture and Group discussion are the methodology through which we conduct the awareness camp. (Photo of Awareness camp at Nawgoan village)
2. Capacity building Program:-
This program is given to President and secretary of SHGs. These Programs are design to impart leadership quality to the president and secretary .these program also give them the Managerial Skill and record maintain training. These are three day programs. First day they are trained for leadership and other two days trained with Accounting and reporting.
Each SHG president and secretary has To go twice a year through these programs. Internal and external loaning systems are taught in these programs.
3. Skill development programs:-
These programs are given to SHGs Who are doing IGPs( income Generation Program ).Mainly training are on Agriculture , fishery , Poultry, Piggery and pity shop management .we request the govt. department to come to our program and conduct trainings for SHGs.
4. HEALTH CAMPS.-

Other Activities:-

ENVIRONMENT:
Another area where PAD has intervened is environment. The mechanism through which inputs about environment are given is SHG. PAD has presently perceived SHGs as ‘a means to an end’ for the creation of a sustainable and alternate ‘Just society’ where the Marginalized will be empowered to control their lives and make their own decisions.
INTEGRATED AND SUSTAINABLE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT:
PAD envisages improving the living standard of the people particularly women through formation of SHGs. Micro-credit support, capacity and skill development are the main activities. From time to time women empowerment programs have been conducted. The following are the topics were covered in recent activities… 1) SHGs’ awareness generation on IGP. 2) Motivation and leadership. 3) Health cares. 4) Capacity building program. Through the SHG socio-economic development among the women has been taking place.
Now these SHGs collection reaches up nearly to an amount of Rs2.5 lacs. These SHGs are given revolving funds by PAD for small economic activities. The self-help groups now have become self-reliant and also they are able to improve their living conditions. Each household has now adopted income-generating activities like piggery, poultry, weaving, petty shops, etc.
SURVEY ON MALARIA:
During the month of Feb & March 06 Malaria epidemic took place. PAD did the survey to understand the situation and find solution to the problem. PAD played advocacy role in the epidemic period and Published the situation in the media to grab the attention of government.
We also submitted survey report to different agencies.
Community health:
People in the rural areas get confronted with health problems throughout the year round, especially in the summer season. People succumbed to the diseases like malaria, diarrhea. In response to these problems of health PAD has taken measures. It has successfully conducted various health awareness camps with the help of the medical personals.

Training Program at Christoson Munda Memorial Training Centre
STRATEGIES AND APPROCH
Empowering the community is the key to sustain the development process. One of the main pillars of empowerment is economic/livelihood sustainability. We aim at economic sustainability of the target community by providing knowledge, skill/training, demonstration and backup support.
The Self-Help Group is the main tool for development. In fact this lead one to be aware of his/her presents status and opt for betterment of his/her future. The SHG movement is being taken place in the area and now the communities are eager and open to take up other livelihood options.
Strategy: Socio-economic development through SHG by practices of sustainable livestock management and improved agriculture development.
The improvement in economic status is a must for a human being to have dignified living standard. But this effort must come from the community itself. All this while various Charity organizations tried their best and raised the living standard of the poor but with the end of their charity projects, the standard which they had raised was back to the earlier or worst standard.
The new Approach has been adopted for Development. It is now the age of Right Based approach and PAD has changed its strategies for development Activities. Another intervention PAD is planning to do is in Panchayat Raj Institution.

Through these programs we try to identify the major problems and issues of the village .SHGs are the most suitable tool for social change in rural and tea garden areas through SHG rural people, specially women united and empowered financially mentally to fight back against poverty, illiteracy, social evils and disease .Therefore we emphasis on organizing SHG in the village .

ENVIRONMENT:
Another area where PAD has intervened is environment. The mechanism through which inputs about environment are given is SHG. PAD has presently perceived SHGs as ‘a means to an end’ for the creation of a sustainable and alternate ‘Just society’ where the Marginalized will be empowered to control their lives and make their own decisions.
INTEGRATED AND SUSTAINABLE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT:
PAD envisages improving the living standard of the people particularly women through formation of SHGs. Micro-credit support, capacity and skill development are the main activities. From time to time women empowerment programs have been conducted. The following are the topics were covered in recent activities… 1) SHGs’ awareness generation on IGP. 2) Motivation and leadership. 3) Health cares. 4) Capacity building program. Through the SHG socio-economic development among the women has been taking place.
Now these SHGs collection reaches up nearly to an amount of Rs2.5 lacs. These SHGs are given revolving funds by PAD for small economic activities. The self-help groups now have become self-reliant and also they are able to improve their living conditions. Each household has now adopted income-generating activities like piggery, poultry, weaving, petty shops, etc.
SURVEY ON MALARIA:
During the month of Feb & March 06 Malaria epidemic took place. PAD did the survey to understand the situation and find solution to the problem. PAD played advocacy role in the epidemic period and Published the situation in the media to grab the attention of government.
We also submitted survey report to different agencies.
Community health:
People in the rural areas get confronted with health problems throughout the year round, especially in the summer season. People succumbed to the diseases like malaria, diarrhea. In response to these problems of health PAD has taken measures. It has successfully conducted various health awareness camps with the help of the medical personals.
