Case Study ---

STORY OF CHANGE:

It was the first year of the project intervention, when SAMAPRC social worker met with Mr. BabanBaluPawar at Kumbheri village of Mulshi Taluka, Pune District. During the interaction with him, our social workers tried to know about the level of poverty, needs and other issues to improve the present situation. They also discussed about the type of livelihood support he required for the survival of his family. They were working as daily waged labor and used to migrate to find job. As this family did not have any land & any other means of livelihood, he requested us for the support of fishing net so that he can catch fish from Mulshi Dam and can sell it in the village & nearby Markets in Maale & Lonavala.

As per his requirement, SAMPARC supported him to procure the fishing net. After receiving the net, he started to catch the fish from the dam and started to earn at least Rs.240-300 per day as an additional income to his family. During the last three years, he is in the same business and earning good amount for survival of his family. Because of this additional income, he could return his debts to the Sahukaar, and rest of the money he invested in buying a pair of Goat, which will create additional income without additional investment. Now, his family is very much happy and appreciating efforts of eClerx- SAMPARC for the support extended through livelihood support.

MORE ABOUT SAMPARC TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT

The families who are supported under goat rearing and back yard poultry are having their livestock as capital assets, which have multiplied in numbers and will go for a good amount when sold in the local market. The support, which is extended through all the livelihood activities have built higher confidence among all the beneficiaries to start their own income generation. We found that the migration rates have decreased by 90% and beneficiaries are happy with the additional income generated through livelihood activity supported by SAMPARC. Also, training on business and simple mathematics techniques to all beneficiaries was given under livelihood activity. Efforts through a street play performed for creating mass awareness have resulted in minimizing alcohol addiction among the beneficiaries. Also, sincere effort to keep the young generation of tribal away from alcoholism is being taken. Regular visits of SAMPARC medical team is creating sensitization on health, hygiene & sanitation aspects in the tribal hamlets, now we can see tribal families keeping their environment clean and taking proper personal care of their children. The tribal communities are now making use of toilets and maintaining cleanliness in their homes and around their hamlets. Also, SAMPARC is linking the Katkari families with the Government department by helping them to receive their caste certificates, open their bank accounts under Jan Dhan, enrolling their names for voter ids, Aadhar card, Ration Card.
