building of the local peoples organizations (LPOs), social activists, NGOs, networks in and outside the Karnataka State and working towards people-centered policies, legislations and programs at the national and state level.

As indicated in our progress report for the first year (2002-2003), the team of SPS staff and volunteers conducted successfully various activities at both the grass root and macro level based on the action plan for the year 2003-2004. We in SPS are happy that we made very good progress during 2002-2003 successfully helped 289 families through Village Level Organizations in our project area, as compared to our target of 236 families as per the action plan. It was indeed, a very good learning process especially in terms of the organization-centered approach we adopted.

It is necessary to mention here that mention here that most parts of Karnataka including our project area villages have faced a serve drought from April to September 2003 and it has been a challenging took for us to deal with this difficult situation while still trying to help local groups continue their efforts to make progress towards our targets.

We are giving only the highlights of the project in this progress report accompanied by the financial statement for first six months of the year 2002-2003.

I. INTENSIVE Work at the grass root level

An action plan for the second year (2003-2004) of the five year program was prepared by April 1, 2003 in the three areas, as given in the progress report. It is necessary to mention here that our internal target second year (2003-2004),is 500 families (below poverty line) in several villages of three talukas covering about 2400 persons as against the proposed figure of 236 families covering 1285 persons, presented in the proposal.

We are preparing the details of our work in various villages and will send you shortly. We are only giving some highlights below.

As mentioned in our progress report for 2002-2003, our earlier good work and reputation helped us getting of one important government project : Community Based Tank Management Project for Hanagal taluka, one of the key project areas of SPS; Our sister organization, Janapara Vignana –Tantragnana Samsthe (JVS) has taken up this five year project from October 01, 2002 and covers over 80% of our project villages in Hangal taluka of Haveri District.

Community Based Tank Management Project in SPS area:

During the first half year of this year (2003-2004), not only work has continued in three of our villages this year, viz., Byagawadi, Somsagar and Hirebasur and our Staff are working closely with JVS for this important Government of Karnataka sponsored programme for rejuvenation of community tanks (Integrated Tank Development Programme - ITDP) under the Jal Samvardhana Yojana Sangh (JSYS); SPS and JVS are also working on the ecological aspects of this important project , through a joint committee of SPS and JVS which is likely to have impact at the Karnataka State level as part of the National Biodiversity Action Plan.

  1. Extensive WORKS in Karnataka and other States

We in SPS have been working closely with State and National level networks like Gram Ganarajya Vedike (GGV) and National Committee for the Protection of Natural Resources (NCPNR) for our extensive work. These areas include the empowerment of Gram Sabhas and Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) as units of self governments as mandated by the constitution, on one hand and the community control over Natural Resources Jal, Jungle, Jameen and Khaneej (water, forest, land and minerals) including people-centered policies, legislations and programmes on these issues, on the other.

The major activities during the first six months ( April 1st to September 30th, 2003) this year in this category are as under:

The major activities during this year in this category are as under:

1. Empowerment of Gram Sabhas and strengthening of PRIs: A two day workshop was organized at the Karnatak University Dharwad on July 12-13,2003 and was inaugurated by Shri.Dileep Singh Bhuria, Chairman, Commission on SC and STs.

The sustained efforts of SPS over the last four years, in general and the intensive efforts during the year (2002-2003), in close co-operation with similar-minded organisations especially JVS and the State level network: Gram Ganarajya Vedike (GGV) was intensified by chalking out a detailed action plan to bringing decisive pressure on the Government of Karnataka .including on the Joint Legislature Committee for the bill:

2. Karnataka Panchayati Raj Amendment Bill, 2002. The bill passed was in August           2003 during the Monsoon session of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly

Already, GGV with active involvement of SPS has started creating widespread awareness on the issues of and changes in the law for empowerment of Grama Sabha and strengthening of PRIs through a series of programs for August 8th in Somasagar Village in Hanagal Taluka, one of project villages of SPS and later in Byatnal and Uppanasi on September 24 and 26, 2003. The SPS continues to support the bringing out of the issues of the news letter of GGV called "Gram Ganarajya Varta Patra".

Series of s including Gram Gganarajya Aabhiyan in December 2003 are being planned, some newsclipping are being mailed separately regarding there activities.

  1. Forest Land and Encroachment Issue and the forest dwelling communities:

We have worked with NCPNR and JVA on the issue of forest encroachment and forest lands since August 2002 and have been able to contact affected persons in the field, on one hand and also help them through advocacy efforts including legal interventions in the Supreme Court, on the other. A major meeting on July 26-27, 2003 was held in Jamshedpur, Jarkhand and a national workshop is being organized in Ranchi on November 1 and 2, 2003.

All these efforts along with meeting the Chairmen, National Commission on SC and ST, the Commission on Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribles (Shri D.S.Bhuria as the Chairman-who inaugurated our workshop in has confirmed his participation in Ranchi workshop.Bangalore on January 22,2003)and the Secretary, Tribal Affairs, Government of India are continuing to put enough pressure on the Ministry of Environment and State Forests, the CEC and State Governments to stop eviction drive.

4. Right to Food Campaign:

The SPS is continuing be part of a State level campaign on Right to Food. A Workshop was held on September 10,2003 at SPS Building on Right to work and we discussed further on how to utilize effectively the good orders issued by the Supreme Court of India in the public interest litigation entitled People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) of Rajasthan Vs Union of India (Writ Petition No.196/2001).

As is well known, the Indian warehouses are overflowing with grains (nearly 60 Million Metric Tons as compared with the buffer stock of only 17 Million Metric Tons needed by India) while the poor are going hungry. This petition is helping in bringing pressure on the Governments, on one hand and educating the public and also the poor to put pressure on Government, on the other.

Since the National and State programmes like the Mid-day-Meal, Antyodaya Scheme (through Public Distribution System) and employment programmes including the centrally sponsored Sampoorna Grameen Rojgar Yojana (Rs.5, 000 Crores in food grains and Rs.5000 Crores in Cash) are not reaching the poor effectively in the past, the orders of the Supreme Court are helping a great deal in bringing decisive pressure on State Government to implement them properly. We are working at the grass roots in SPS project area on these issues, on one hand and helping the State level campaign with our expertise in the legal and other areas For example, the student of primary school in Somsagar did an innovative programme including discussion on these issues and presented a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner, Haveri in April 2002.

We are keeping a close watch as the Mid Day Meal programme who are meant to help the poor children attend the school. Employment Programmes are helping in watershed, tank desilting etc. We are working out strategies so that the poor get minimum wage in these programmes, on one hand and help a campaign on "Right To Work".

5. Education Policy 1968 and 1986 and the Common School System:

We are continuing to work at grass root level and also in the area of advocacy for implementation of education policy by understanding, analyzing and formulating strategies such as trying to strengthen the common school system through building people’s pressure on authorities through Gram Sabhas and Gram Panchayats. We have studied the education policy (from the Hunter Commission to the Dr Kothari Commission), legislation and programme in the field of education building on our understanding of the issues through our "Aazadi se Swaraj" Campaign. In our villages, we are continuing to put pressure on the school authorities to ensure that the teachers, who were not taking interest in village school and not coming on time, took interest in the school and children. The Gram Sabha meetings are being utilized effectively for this purpose. We are continuing able to link school children and teachers, on one hand and the local groups like SHGs and Village Forest Committees (VFCs) for Seed Dribbling and Tree Planting Programes. Several Villages have organised these activities during the year 2002-2003.Thus we are trying to link the education and livelihood through community involvement and control over the school.

This year, we have begun to introduce discussions and like education and social issues like equality among girls and boys ( not through segregation but by working with each other), on one hand and the issues of environmental cleanliness and its relationship with health.

6. Tribals and Malik Mukbuja issue in Bastar area in Chhattisgarh State:

This issue has reached a very decisive level at the Supreme Court level in the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by S.R.Hiremath, Coordinator of SPS in close cooperation with NCPNR, Ekta Parishad MP, SPS and local group: Parivartan in Kanker of Bastar Region. During the six months of this year, three trips had to be made to New Delhi for this PIL ( and also the forest encroachment issue in which SPS has field an intervention before the Supreme Court) our vigorous perusing of this case before CEC the Central Empowered Committee appointed by the Supreme Court and specified steps are being taken to help get the fair price of trees of poor tribals and getting their land back to them legally. We have succeeded in putting pressure on CBI for the completion of Investigation by the CBI.

III.SUPPORTIVE WORK

A. Regular Systematic Training through workshops and exposure to staff, volunteers and activists.

1. Training of Trainers (TOT):

We conducted a Training of Trainers (TOT) program in SPS Building in July 03 for grass root wherein the issues like concept of empowerment, income generating, networking among SHGs and VFCs were discussed systematically; These Trainers have started work at village level and formal and informal training at village level for SHGs are being conducted now by these trainees and our experienced staff and volunteers (like Smt. Savitramma Hipparagi, Smt. Leela Byatanal and Shri Manjunath); Staff Training Programmes for staff development are continuing and experienced trainers (like Shri Uday Kumar Bekal, Shri S.R. Hiremath and Shri P. Venkatesh) are facilitating them once in three months; In addition, for newly appointed Community Organiser Trainees(COTs),regular three month training both in the field and in Ranibennur are going on.

2. Community Learning Movement (CLM): We are continuing work of CLM The purpose of this important training programmes in CLM (for 2 women and 2 men from each village), as explained in last year report, is to develop systematically a collective and effective leadership among the Community on various aspects of our work through systematic training programmes; The CLM training programmes are going on in both districts SPS is also working on CLM programme along with the local tribal organisation and another voluntary agency called Fdina in H.D.Kote area.

Issues of the newsletters: Gram Ganarajya Varta Patra for the forum: Gram Ganarajya Vedike (GGV) in which SPS continues to play a central role; These publications have been very central to the Gram Swaraj Movement and played important role in the mobilisation of widespread support, in general and that of MLAs and MLCs, in particular for Empowerment of Gram Sabha and Strengthening of Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRIs), as units of self government as mandated by the constitution. We have published two issues of this news letter, viz, June 2003 and September 2003.

Progress Report on Grassroot activities during the first six months

(01-04-2003 to 30-09-2003) of the second year (2003-2004) of the five year (2002-07)

" Sustainable Programme on Management of Natural Resources and Advocacy for Empowerment of Rural Poor with focus on Human Development",

Summary of Grass root work :

During 2003-04, second year of the five year (2002-07) " Sustainable Programme on Management of Natural Resources and Advocacy for Empowerment of Rural Poor with focus on Human Development", we have selected 1250 below poverty line families consisting 6236 population against set target of 681 families. It includes 660 families of 11 village in Hangal Taluka, 320 families of 6 villages in Hirekerur Taluka (DIST: HAVERI) and 270 families of 9 villages in Harapanahalli Taluka (DIST : DAVANAGERE). The current year intensive grass root work for the above program also includes follow up of 289 families against the target of 236 families consisting 1331 population who were empowered during 2002-03 .

The strategy and action plan for the second year (2003-04)was prepared by Local People Organisations in early march 2003 based on the experience and challenges faced during first year.

As the local people organisations and we assessed the living condition of 1250 below poverty line families (Target Group members) before the intervention ie., the living condition as on 01-04-2003 is below average and annual average income is approximately Rs.7000-7500/-.,Coolie from agriculture, labour work at Hobali/Taluka place, agriculture, work at tea/coffee estate, seasonal works of Panchayats/dept (road, repair, construction) were the major source of Income. We have had a interaction with SHGs, VFCs, Krishi Karmikar Sanghas, landless labourers, NTFP collectors group, Yuvak/Yuvati Sanghas early in March 2003 and motivated them to chalk out the possible action plan for empowerment. These groups also heard about some measures to improve the livelihood in neighbouring groups/villages; we have also shared the outcome and challenges they took. This also made some impact on them.

During implementing the action plan, some groups especially in Hangal and Hirekerur Taluk, were very happy about the initial process of Bank linkage (please see the Table 1 at the end), employment assurance scheme, developmental works like drinking water, road, Janatha houses, street light, repair of gutter etc,. Some groups were nervous due to failure of monsoon, which resulted in no work to agricultural labourers; especially women. In other parts which received little rainfall small and marginal farmers could not get loan for seeds, manure and preharvest activities ; automatically women folk had to sell sheep (for ex at Karadidurga Choudambika SHGs 12 members sold sheep who were taken loan from SHGs/Bank for sheep rearing) to arrange money for agriculture. In some sanghas (SHGs in Somasagara) members had to give the loan amount to their

husbands for seeds and agriculture purpose instead their usual Income Generating Programme (IGP) activities like, vegetable selling, bangle selling. In spite of these odds the local people organization made some good progress, it would contribute their livelihood in long run on a sustainable basis for ex: in Harapanahalli, common lands have been planted with saplings which would provide employment and source of income. In Hangal, Hirekerur taluka SHGs are having Bank linkage and dairy, sheep rearing, tailoring started. There are some possibility for community entrepreneurship for ex: marketing of tamarind, mutual leaf plate, medicinal plants, leaves, flower for worship ( at Gundgatti and Kodamaggi the traditional leaves flowers i.e., " Patri,Tulasi" sent to Udapi for worship). In Harapanahalli area for dry land farming and experimenting toddy in barren hillocks surrounding Kumarnahalli cluster, experts of National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Pattern (NBSS & LUP) Bangalore have initiated the process. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Hanumanamatti, Ranebennur, University of Agricultural sciences(UAS)Dharwad and Agriculture Dept. Harapanahalli have been involved locally.

We have also invested Rs.26 lakhs a part of the corpus fund in Grameena Banks in our grassroots working villages, which also motivated to the bankers to a certain extent to lend money to SHGs. We have organized capacity building up training and exposure programmes to the groups , volunteers and staffs which resulted in more number of income generating activities on one and sustainable programme on the other

The Government Programmes- under Employment Assurance Scheme and drought relief programmes have been successful in providing seasonal employments, Taluka and Grama Panchayat also employing local labourers for its developmental works.

The community expressing some degree of happiness because Grama Sabhas decisions are get implemented for ex: the beneficiaries proposed in Gram Sabhas getting Janatha houses under Indira Awas Yojana, Gutters repaired, street light charming, hand pump working, mini water tanks constructed. The teachers are punctual, school attendance increased, kids are getting mid-day meals. Some SHGs women trained in health care, post and prenatal care, health workers-ANMs frequency of visit increased. Peoples organizations capacity and confidence increased through Community Learning Movement Training. This could be seen through vigil line, dhararni, non-violent actions to put pressure on State Govt through district administration for empowerment of Grama Sabhas and community control over natural resources.

Following are the specific outcome of the grass root work during the first six months (of the second year) April 1 to September 30, 2003 in 26 villages in the following order.
