As a DM and other officers of district administration are essentially field officers, it is imperative that we incorporate a culture of doorstep governance and ensure timely disposal of such grievances. At the district level, a need was felt that the field inspections and official inspections need to be supplemented by robust data so as to make them more productive.

In such cases the procedure followed by Police is to take coercive action but seeing the plight and helplessness of these people, I decided to go one step further and started an initiative for their rehabilitation and up-skilling.

On 16 July, 2020, the then District Magistrate, Rampur Aunjaneya Kumar Singh was on a round across the city assuring people of better days to come when he encountered few children selling balloons in the street at evening hours. Conversation with children revealed that they were inundated by major family problems. The sole livelihood earner had either died or had been struck by serious illness and the children were compelled to come out in the streets to sell items to support the livelihood of their families. Hence originates the idea of a District level fund to support such children. District Child Care and Protection fund was established finally in November, 2020 with a purpose to look after and protect the children in need whose families are not covered under government schemes or the problems which are not covered by government schemes. In March, 2021, when Aunjaneya Kumar Singh was promoted and posted as the Divisional Commissioner of Moradabad Division, this fund too was upscaled at the level of Division.

This demographic faces inequalities stemming from cultural norms that discourage girls from completing their education. Consequently, these girls often become mothers in the next generation, perpetuating the intergenerational cycle of educational disparities. Multiple factors contribute to this situation, including cultural values, prevalence of child marriage, inadequate education advocacy, and child labor. The persistent lack of formal education for young females leads to adverse consequences such as poverty, compromised child well-being, health challenges, and heightened instances of domestic violence. Addressing these complex issues is crucial for empowering girls and breaking the cycle of inequality. | 2012-07-02 | Running | 50 Crores | Karnataka | Bengaluru | ||

However, with the covid pandemic striking the country last year, schools were shut in a hurry and access to these books became restricted. To add to the miseries, there was a change in the curriculum causing additional hurdles. For almost a year and a half, visually challenged students of the state have been living under uncertainty even as their able-bodied counterparts are being able to access education through online classes and various virtual platforms. The unavailability of appropriate digital products in the local language and the lack of devices to access them remain the greatest challenge for these students. This situation requires urgent attention, foresight and compassion without which hundreds of children who faced multiple challenges to have come this far with education will be pushed to an uncertain future languishing in hopelessness. Notably, the set of DAISYS (Digital Accessible Information System) books introduced by VIEWS with the support of DKBW in 2020-21 were sent across to schools to be used by students during class hours and the feedbacks received were very encouraging. | 2020-10-09 | Running | 402000 | Odisha | Bhubaneswar | ||

AKRSP(I) is active in over 3255 villages of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra. It has impacted lives of over 3.5 million people from marginalised sections of society. Over 80% of the households impacted by AKRSP(I)'s work belong to marginalised communities like tribals, dalits, and minorities. Over 60% of beneficiaries are women who form a core group for program interventions. Dr. Verghese Kurien was the first chairman of AKRSP(I). | Naveen Patidar | 9825141295 | naveen.patidar@akdn.org | Large proportion of farmers in Bihar have extremely small land holding hence they cannot afford irrigation systems at individual level. They buy irrigation water from diesel or electricity pump owners at exorbitantly high prices. Solar pumps offer reliable irrigation services if designed in such a way that each system can service 50 to 100 other farmers. AKRSP(I) is providing solar pumps to women's groups as an enterprise where they can own these pumps and sell water to nearby farmers at extremely affordable prices. This has led to large scale expansion in reliable irrigation services in addition to providing income generating opportunities to women. Agriculture output has also grown substantially in these areas. | 2016-09-01 | Running | 65000000 | Bihar | Samastipur | ||
