PARIMOCHAN
The Trust, alongwith a well known NGO Bharatiya
Agro Industrial Foundation (BAIF), is involved in a rural
upliftment project initially for five villages around Chitrapur
- Shirali in Bhatkal Taluk, Uttara Kannada District, Karnataka
State.
One of the objectives is to create improved and alternative
livelihood opportunities for 300 resource poor families
who are below the poverty line, through optimum utilization
of locally available resources.
1st Phase of Project parimochan was successfully completed
in March, 2010. 300 resource poor families from 5 villages
around Chitrapur, have been provided assistance. It is now
proposed to extend this project into Phase II and cover
300 more families from another group of 5 villages around
Chitrapur – in the next 3 years.
This project is envisaged to catalyze a process of socio–
economic change in these adopted villages that would lead
to improved livelihood and quality of life of participants
coupled with sustainable management of natural resources
in the area.
This project would also strive to strengthen human value
system in the villages and gradually reduce vices and family
tensions. The project will lead to decreased dependence
on government administrative system for fulfillment of the
basic needs of the villages.
Womens Self Help Groups (SHGs) have been formed as a foundation
for all activities, called as "Sangham". Training
programmes are being conducted from time to time. These
Sanghams have already made their presence felt by creating
significant awareness on small savings and micro credit
mode and have a very creditable record of recovery.
