Reaching the Unreached an
article by Mr Anand Kapoor
Highlights
Volunteers of units 12 and 15 of NSS IIT Kharagpur have been
working for more than a year to facilitate issuance of SC/ST
certificates to residents of Rangametia and Sholadahar villages.
During a survey they realized many at these villages did not have
their SC/ST certificates a basic necessity for receiving a number of
governmental assistance. They then sensitized the villagers about
the usefulness of such certificates, assembled the documentary
evidence needed for the issuance of the certificates, organized camps
to bring the villagers in direct contact with the government officials
and finished the application process by making online filing on
behalf of the residents. Of about 150 filings from Sholadahar 130
were found to be in order and of 50 from Rangametia 20 were
accepted. Distribution of the first instalment of 50 certificates took
place on the occasion of NSS day celebration on October 5, 2013.
Such activities are being rolled out at other villages where NSS IIT
Kharagpur are active over the past several years.
About 500 volunteers, mainly first year undergraduate students of
IIT Kharagpur, participated in the NSS IIT Kharagpur Annual
Camp at Ayma, Nayapara and Arambati areas at the outskirts of
Kharagpur between November 27 and December 3, 2013. These
areas are flanked by major railway tracks and marshalling yards. As
a result, access into and out of these low income neighbourhoods is
poor. NSS volunteers repaired about 5-km of roads in these areas
during the camp. Other camp activities included a training program
on life-saving first-aid procedures such as CPR, a medical camp
where 220 residents of Ayma and Porapara were treated, and
distribution of clothes collected by the volunteers from IIT campus
to about 300 residents of Ayma and Nayapara. An anonymous
donation of medicines worth Rs. 30,000.00 for the medical camp
patients needs a special mention in this regard. These activities are
shared through a photo feature in this newsletter.
In addition, our NSS volunteers continue to teach underprivileged
children, plant saplings, conduct damage survey, make water quality
assessment, campaign to raise social awareness, help repair damaged
village hutments and facilities, and conduct medical and blood
donation camps.
This newsletter also shares the work of Mr Anand Kapoor, (Civil,
1974, LLR) and his wife Kusum Karnik amongst the tribal peoples
of Maharashtra, which our volunteers and well wishers might find
inspiring.
