Our Activities

  Azad India Foundation has been continuously implementing its various programmes for socio-economic development in its area of operation. Literacy Programme: Spreading literacy through non-formal centers: Kishanganj district has a dubious record of having lowest literacy level in whole of Bihar. The worst sufferers are the women who due to illiteracy and ignorance face exploitation at all levels. Azad India Foundation ran nonformal centres in many villages for women and girls under different projects. People provided free space for running the centers. The method of teaching was non-formal involving local dialect Surjapuri and in some centers in Bengali to help the women learn effectively .In these centers women were taught to read and write at their own pace. Some centers functioned in the afternoon after women finish their household work and some in the evening when they return from their fields. An attendance register was maintained duly signed by the teacher and project coordinator who regularly monitored the centers. Side by side they were given information on health and hygiene and other relevant issues.

Education Initiatives

  Azad Public School : The Azad India Foundation believes that education is true means of socio-economic and intellectual advancement of the society. Every child at least deserves primary education irrespective of caste, religion or socio-economic background. APS aims at developing full mental and physical potential of each child. The school has introduced contemporary education and training methods. For this purpose an innovative approach involving a mix of classroom teaching with audio-visual aids along with physical and extra-curricular activities has been introduced.

The school provides an exclusive ambience for the all round development of the child's personality including aesthetic and moral values, emotional integration and communication skills.APS has set up a state of the art computer labs with five computers and latest software. This has helped in giving computer education to the children. APS has introduced computer education right from Class I. Today APS can boast of a well-stocked library with wide range of books for the voracious readers. Azad India Foundation also provides free ships and sponsorships to poor and needy students studying in the School.

We have introduced fee concessions to deserving students by way of subsidized tuition fee for different income groups. There is a special concession for girls in all categories to promote education among them.

Sponsership Programme at Azad Public School

  Azad India Foundation was fortunate to find generous sponsors for poor and needy children who are being given free education at Azad Public School. At present 10 students are being sponsored out of which 7 are young girls.

Rural Schools

  This project supported by Royal Dutch Embassy New Delhi provided formal education to rural children in the age group 6-14 in 5 villages through nonformal means. These schools cum learning centres were opened at Damalbari, Chattargach, Powakhali, Thakurganj and Pothia. AIF began with the identification of the children residing in these villages and also nearby areas. We followed formal as well as nonformal system of education in all the schools. Children were enrolled in classes one to three. They were given choice to join the formal setup or study according to their convenience in the afternoon.

The schools have fixed timings for the formal students and flexible timings for the nonformal students. The teachers ensured at least six hours of study six days a week. Since we have accreditation from National Open Schooling Ministry of HRD, Government of India to conduct examination for class three, class five and class eight levels it helped us in convincing parents to send children to our schools. We followed the curriculum and books prepared on the basis of blueprints provided by NOS and Bihar Govt syllabus. Our main concern was to develop the capacity of children preparing them for formal schooling in the future. The course was divided into 4 modules.

The first three months were devoted to teaching basics in language and mathematics. In the next three months we introduced writing skills and subsequently other subjects like EVS and art of healthy and productive living were introduced. The teachers were selected from educated youth of the community to provide employment to local youth especially women. 449 children were enrolled for OBE Level A examination. Out of these 236 were boys and 213 were girls. Our sustained efforts have led to about 47% of girls and 52 % boys enrollment in the schools. We conducted the examination in the month of July/August and certificates were given by National Open School. Under teachers guidence 201 children passed the Level A with 102 girls and 99 boys.21 children passed in more than 2 subjects. Girls pass percentage was 50.7% and boys 49%.After the completion of project two rural centres are running with community support.

Community Health Programmes : Project Sanjivini under ARSH (Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health) programme of National Foundation for India, New Delhi

  The well -informed adolescents on sexual and reproductive health issues can play a decisive role in the better adolescent health in the country. We have successfully completed three years of Project Sanjivini to educate and provide information to the adolescent rural girls about their reproductive and sexual health. This project was implemented in 15 villages in three blocks of Pothia, Thakurganj and Kishanganj.AIF focused on reproductive health and sexual health issues by sensitizing them through group meetings, training programmes and communication programmes like drawing, painting and poster making etc. An important component of the programme was to sensitize the parents and the community members to the needs of adolescents, as they are the ones who make all the decisions. Our initiative also addressed immediate concerns of adolescents i.e. delaying early marriage and pregnancy by taking an integrated approach of providing education and skill training side by side. Our nonformal education centers became the focal points for dissemination of information. We also used local haats for conducing community meetings followed by nukkad nataks in local dialect to target wider audiences.

Main achievements of the programme

• AIF able to open dialogue about the need of adolescent sexual and reproductive health awareness within the conservative Muslim society.

• AIF has been quite successful in evoking positive response from men in the community.

• Important religious leaders and PRI members in every village were sensitized and involved at every stage on ARSH issues.

• Though AIF did not work with adolescent boys directly the quantitative survey has shown positive impact on the boys also.

• 600 girls of NFE centres and 400 girls of nonNFE girls were given ARSH information.

• 45 adolescent girl groups were formed.

• More than 1200 women covered in community health meetings.

• 200 girls and women completed stitching and tailoring training in three villages of Manirambhitta,Moidunpur and Baragariya.

• 50 adolescent girls cleared Level A from National Open School.

  In July 2006 external expert team comprising of Mr Prabhakar Sinha,Ms Bhaswati and Dr Neelam Singh visited Kishanganj and carried out meetings with adolescent girls and other community members for the evaluation of the Program.

Excepts from the Evaluation report of National Foundation for India

  "The organization as working with the Muslims has been very strategic to get community acceptance by using health and education as the entry points. Gradually through their NFE centres they started working on ARSH issues very cautiously and in keeping with the cultural sensitivity of the community. Frequent interaction by the leadership has not only helped in consolidating their credibility with the community but also has created a good base for ARSH. AIF has been quite successful in evoking a positive response from the men in the community. Strategic engagement with the opinion leaders has helped the organization to get a buy in of the community. Women seemed to be approving of ARSH issues with regard to adolescent girls. Women accepted the need of such intervention with girls and expressed such information would improve their health and have an improved family life in the time to come.

  A brief discussion was held with two Maulvis teaching in the Madarsa.Maulvi Saheb was aware about the discussions held in the group meetings and approved of the same. Zindagi behtar dhang se jeene ke liye ye sab malumaat nihayat zaroori hai, remarked Maulvi Saheb. Maulvi Saheb informed that chairs were not usually allowed where Quran Sharif was kept or recited, but during meetings held in the Madarsa, they allowed the chairs in the verandah, and shifts the Quran Sharif inside the room. A major attitudinal change reflected and space for adaptability amongst the Muslim clergy, and AIF should be credited and appreciated for this endeavor."

Bridge Grant Programme

  In December NFI supported Azad India Foundation for another six months to prepare new intervention area. This bridge grant period was the continuation of the strategies adopted in the previous years to prepare the community and the organization for the second phase of the program. AIF will work in 25 new villages adjacent to the old intervention area. The target population would be identified in each village. AIF will target at least 20,000 population for which socio-economic and resource mapping would be carried out.

   In continuation of Project Sanjivini the initiatives continued in 7 villages that were part of old intervention area. Meetings were organized in different villages about community health issues where community identified its health needs that included absence of basic health care services, sanitation, absence of toilets and hygiene for women and girls, infrequent immunization rounds etc.To sustain the environment created in the first phase AIF carried out meetings with the PRI members and religious leaders.

HIV/AIDS related Programmes: State level workshop on HIV/AIDS Awareness & Prevention: A Workplace Issue

  This workshop was organized by Azad India Foundation and MASSES in collaboration with Women Work Health Asia Initiative (WWHAI), Society for Working Life (SWL), Embassy of Finland and Trade Unions at Patna on 30, 31 May and 1st June 2006. The main goal of the workshop was to promote sensitivity and awareness about HIV/AIDS among women and workers in the community, organized and unorganized sectors. The workshop was inaugurated by Shri Chandra Mohan Ray Hon'ble Minister of Health Govt of Bihar. He said that the spreading HIV/AIDS awareness is the biggest challenge of the present government.

  This has to be tackled by NGOs, Government, trade unions and all the other agencies together. The three day sessions on technical, ethical, medical and legal HIV/AIDS issues were conducted by Dr.Gitanjali Kumari (BSACS), Dr Diwakar Tijaswi (Director RATNEI), Mr. Ashok Priyadarshi Advocate, Dr.Md Jawaid Former Minister of State, Prof Arif Ali Head Dept of Bio-Technology,Jamia Millia Islamiya.The workshop also saw presentations by Mr Gautam Dey (Bihar Voluntary Health Association) on role of BVHA in HIV related activities, Mr. Amrendra Prasad and Mr. Nand Kumar Chaube on Yoga and HIV/AIDS. Mr. Kailash Bhagat member of Bihar network for people living with HIV/AIDS and HIV + himself shared his experiences with the participants. The field visit was a very important component of the workshop as it provided an opportunity to the participants to interact with the workers in both organized and unorganized sectors.

   The participants were taken to three different organizations- utomobile Union, Maurya hotel Union and Charkha Samiti to interact with the workers on the issues related to the HIV/AIDS. Dr U.C Tripathi Director State Institute of Health and Family Welfare Patna was the chief guest at the Valedictory Session. He distributed certificates to the participants. In his speech he said that this workshop on HIV/AIDS awareness for the NGO workers and trade union members would very useful when they will work at grass-root level. The workshop ended with a positive note with NGOS and Trade Unions agreeing to work together.

Sensitizing the local Religious leaders (Maulavis and Madarasa teachers) towards HIV/AIDS under support from Innovation Fund (Indian Network for Positive People)

This project was initiated in the month of September for one year duration which involved sensitization of religious leaders of two blocks of Kishanganj district on the issues of HIV/AIDS. The main aim behind this project is that if the religious leaders are sensitized and made aware of the consequences of HIV/AIDS they can play positive role in preventing the spread of this disease through mobilizing people. Through these religious men we target the men folk and young boys for creating awareness.

  The other objective is to make people especially migrant groups aware and informed about the HIV/AIDS, its spread and consequences.Azad India Foundation targeted Maulavis and Madarasa teachers for imparting training in HIV/AIDS through selected Maulavis who were given trainings and orientations on HIV/AIDS .Our aim is to target community as a whole through these Maulavis and Maulanas.

These Maulanas and Maulavis try to promote healthy living and awareness about the disease through Friday sermons,jalsas and daily interaction among men and boys. Since they are respected in the community they are trained to identify symptoms of HIV/AIDS so that they can refer the patient for testing. AIF has also selected 5 people living with HIV/AIDS who are doing counseling sessions and community meetings with migrant population.

Partnership with BBC World Service Trust on Media Dark Project

   Azad India Foundation partnered with BBC World Service Trust on Media Dark Project for the preparation of HIV/AIDS related tool-kit. This tool-kit will be used for creating awareness among the community members.

Azad India Foundation was one of the organizations where field-testing of tool-kit was organized. Three target groups of male below 18, females below 18 and females in the age-group 21-35 were chosen. The issues were TB & HIV, condom use and basic information on HIV/AIDS.

Women Empowerment Programme

  Women have always been marginalized and relegated to the status of subjugated class in the Indian society. Due to lack of specific implementation of plans, local communities especially women have remained outside the scope and benefits of government schemes and programmes. The key lies in women empowerment through economic self-sufficiency and higher awareness levels on social, political and legal issues through mobilization. Women should be organized and strengthened at the grass root level to end their subordination. Azad India Foundation is making an attempt in that direction to make rural women self sufficient through various skill training programmes.

Skill training programme for Women

  The main aim of this programme is to enhance the quality of life of women through increased knowledge and skills. The Foundation also realized that merely imparting literacy would not be sufficient .The women need vocational training or skills also to uplift their status. They should be able to stand on their feet and provide for their families. Azad India Foundation's stitching and tailoring centre at Moidunpur has completed another year. So far 133 girls and women are given training in basic stitching and tailoring.

Formation of Self-Help groups under NABARD

   Micro finance is recognized as a key strategy for addressing issues of poverty alleviation and women's empowerment. Access to financial services and the subsequent transfer of financial resources to poor women enable them to become economic agents of change. Women become economically self-reliant, contribute directly to the well-being of their families, play a more active role in decision-making, and are able to confront systemic gender inequalities.

In this regard Foundation facilitated the concept of SHGs among community women to encourage them to participate in their development and work towards day-to-day problems through small savings. It was a major step to realize economic freedom. Under support from NABARD 25 SHGs have been facilitated in different villages. The meetings for the formation of new groups and follow-up with the existing groups are a regular feature of the programme. These SHGs have given the members a sense of identity and a common platform to discuss their grievances. The matters of common interest have instilled a sense of unity. The funds created by their own savings helps them meet urgent monetary needs without depending on their men folk or moneylenders.

Project Pahla Kadam supported by Asian Development Bank

   The project was implemented in two blocks of Kishanganj and Pothia covering 13 villages. We followed an integrated approach in the intervention area where our aim was to encourage young children, adolescent girls to enroll for nonformal education and motivate women to go for functional literacy. The methodology followed for Project Pahla was setting up the Nonformal Education/Literacy centers in 13 villages. As part of the strategy the NFE centre teachers were given regular trainings and orientations so that they can interact with the children and adult learners alike.

These NFE centers became viable platform for discussing developmental and health issues. The women were encouraged to attend meetings where health workers discussed their health problems. A team of SHG trainers visited the villages facilitating the formation of SHGs. For the first time we were able to work with reclusive and close Irani community who sent their daughters and women for nonformal education for the first time. These nonformal centers also gave basic education to young children who accompanied their mothers and were not enrolled for National Open School Examination. 325 women and girls were made functionally literate and 230 young children given basic education.

About 200 girls and 150 boys were enrolled in different villages for level -III. We conducted their examination in March-April and the result was submitted to National Open School for certificate. A total 162 students appeared for final exam out of which 129 cleared the examination at the first attempt. Our sustained efforts have seen more than 100 students joining government primary and middle schools.

Under Project Pahla Kadam 13 SHGs are formed in the various villages. These SHGs are regularly saving money and giving them on interest also to members within the group and the community. Azad India Foundation organized skill training in different trades like incense stick making, candle making, phenyol making and detergent making for the SHG groups. These trainings were conducted by resource persons from Khadi Gram Commission Patna in two batches. The duration of the training was one week each with market visit. A total of 120 women were trained in different trades.Three SHGs are marketing their own products in the local market.

• Sushila SHG (Faringola) is making and marketing incense sticks.

• Good Luck SHG (Moidunpur) is making and marketing detergent powder.

• Gharib Nawaz SHG (Sathbolia) is making and selling incense sticks at local hatts.

The group members then decided to start agarbatti making on small scale. They pooled their resources and bought raw material from Kishanganj and Siliguri.After the incense sticks were ready the main problem was of marketing. The president of the Group Sushila along with her daughter Kalyani started selling to the paan shops, house to house within the village and extended family. They earned profit of Rs 100 which gave them hope and strength for the future. Again they bought raw material and devised new strategy. Now they do two type of packeting one rupee and 10 rupees. One rupee packets are sold within the village and ten rupee packets are given to small shops outside the village etc. They also have started giving money on interest to women within the group and village also. Earlier it was Rs 2 per month now they have raised it to Rs 10 per month within the group and Rs 15 for the women other then group.This is only a small beginning of empowerment for these women of village Faringola, Kishanganj, Bihar.
