From the Director desk……….. 

“O wayfarer, is the path worth traveling if it has no thorn? When the flow is not adverse, in 

hat is the use of testing the patience of the boatman.’’ 

The above lines squarely describe our activities where aspires for awn interests and speedy 

gain, Where politics is based on sects and castes and leaders seek their own benefits, the task of 

fulfilling the objectives of the projects launched by the organization seems quite uphill. Despite this the 

colleagues of the organization have made a laudatory effort to translate into concrete reality the 

guidelines provided by the donor authorities. 

Nehru Yuva Sangthan, Tisi is actively engaged with the all-round development of the rural and 

urban people for the past 18 years. From time to time the full hearted support from the local community, 

block development district, state and national level authorities is forthcoming. This has led the 

organization a special much for itself in the district and state even as a rural oriented organization the 

role of national and international donors has been extremely significant in translating the objective of 

the organization into concrete reality. From time to time the guidance of their representatives has 

proved to be like milestones. 

PATH and CARE India through their Sure Start Project have lent momentous support to the 

organization’s intervention in bringing about permanent improvement in the complete health of the 

newly born babies and pregnant women, behavioral change and enabling the community to have an 

access to quality health services. While PACS programme and Uttar Pradesh Health system 

Development project’s innovative health programme helped in great measure, CASA’s support enable 

us to work for all round community development and mainstreaming the marginalized section in the 

matter of employment oriented activities. On the one hand Ministry of Labour, Government of India and 

Sarve Shiksha Abhiyan supported in the promotion of child right and mainstreaming education of child 

labour, Oxfam India’s Aroh campaign and PACS of DFID enabled us to launch an effective and 

inspiring awareness programme creating commotion in both the community and the administrative 

circle. Similarly support from Ministry of Environment & Forest, Government of India coupled with the 

common man have strengthened our endeavour of environment conservation, promoting and Ganga 

Pollution Eradication programme. 

Support in the above manner by our colleagues, guides, thinkers, and workers, The 

organization is confident to accomplish the goal of happiness, prosperity and peace by continuing to 

motivate the disadvantage and the deprived people to lead a dignified life. Looking forword to your 

trust, cooperation and affection.

Activities During 2008-09 

1. Reproductive & Child Health and Essential Community Services- 

The organization conducted a series of activities on providing access to qualitative RCH 

services in Telyani Block of Fatehpur district and Lalganj Kheero and Sareni of Raebareli by the 

support of UPHSDP and PATH/CARE respectively. 

1.2. Meetings of Village Level Service Providers & Mother- 

Under the project, in keeping with the principle of let them participate who face the issue “ local 

community took part in three development blocks of 

Raebareli , viz Lalganj, Kheero and Sareni, where 173 

mother committees were formed. Project workers have been 

holding regular meetings as per decided dates every month. 

Women have at long last found a forum to express 

themselves in these meetings and discuss their health 

related issues. They have become aware of harmful impact 

of certain traditional health related practices and are capable 

enough to claim the services on their own apart from solving 

complex health problem and promoting appreciative 

acceptance of alternative health practices, these mother’s 

committees have contributed significantly to generate a spirit 

of understanding and participation amongst men on the women’s issues. 

1.2 Status of village level health & sanitation committee. 

Up till now the role of Panchayts as well as other stake holders including the community on the issues 

of mother and new born child was rather indifferent, as a 

result of which the beneficial health measures for them used 

to be ignored, keeping the mortality rate at child – birth near 

constant instead of reducing it keeping this apathy in vine, a 

village level health & sanitation committee comprising of the 

village pradhan as chairperson & members as ANM, ASHA , 

Anganwadi,Lekhpal,shiksha mitra, Panchayat mitra and six 

panchayat member. The committee is the local unit of the 

national Rural Health mission 64 such committee has been 

formed in the organization operational area. It is with the 

help of these committees community’s participation in 

preparing annual health work plan, implementation of the 

same, management of untied funds with responsiveness 

and responsibility, monthly review of ASHA, Anganwadi for quality service accessibility by using 

innovation tools is made possible. 

1.3 Participation in the Meetings of Rogi Kalan Samitis- 

In terms of National Rural Health Mission framework of effective implementation, patient welfare 

committees were held with the participation of the staff at the primary/ community health centers. In 

these meetings actions are taken to decentralize the concepts of NRHM in order to strategically reach 

the benefits of the mission to the vast masses and make structural changes in regard to delivering 

qualitative Health Service for the end users. The meetings are surcharged with the participation of 

Health Deptt., Child Development, Panchayati Raj Deptt. along with the workers in Sure Start Project 

and other partner organizations. This year 36 meeting were organized in three blocks. By means of the 


notice of the block level officers and a strategy is chalked out meetings communities’ issues are 

brought to the take rectifying steps. Even the village level Health and Sanitation Committee Services 

are sought and through it a forum is provided for public advocacy. 

1.4 Support in the Conducted of Janani Suraksha 

Yoajna - 

Certain old and harmful health practices related to child 

birth and pregnant women are steeped in superstitions and 

ignorance, sometimes leading to witchcraft and avoidable 

mortality of the mother and child. But NRHM has removed 

many misconceived practices and put in place Mother 

committees and village level Health and Sanitation 

Committees. As a result of this is our operational area viz 

Lalganj, Kheero and Sareni block up to 80 percent of 

deliveries are institutionalized. Because of this there in a 

significant increase in people’s level of trust and the 

beneficiaries are in receipt of Rs.1400 by way of economic support as also the facility of conveyance. 

1.5 Meetings of Service Provider – 

In order to run Sure Start Project effectively service providers are kept well-informed and with their cooperative 

support and selection of place and sustainable improvement in the health of mother and 

newly born children is attempted at. This is designed to percolate down to the far flung places where 

gram panchyats can make these services effectively available. The service providers are expected to 

fulfill their responsibility by participating in the forum of the Sure Start Project and also to enable 

community’s access to the services. Thus the responsibility level of the service providers ( ASHA, 

Anganwadi & ANM ) has increased and the beneficiaries, especially the left outs have had an every 

access to these health services. 

1.6 Block Level Consortium Meeting- 

Consortium meetings are required to be held to bring in sustainable improvement in the health of 

mothers and new born children so that all the block level departments can be apprised of the impact of 

their department’s services. This meeting aims at qualitative improvement in services offered by service 

providers. 

1.7 Safe Motherhood Day- 

On account of the problem related to pregnancy and child birth, many women earlier had to succumb to 

avoidable death. While in developed countries, only one woman dies out of four thousand cases of 

child birth, in India out of 64 cases of delivery one woman succumbs to death, With a view to sensitizing 

the community on the issues of motherhood, Mother’s Day is celebrated on 11 April each year. Under 

Sure Start Project Mother’s Day was celebrated in the village panchyat and primary and community 

center in which large number of primary service 

providers and stake holders took active part. On this day 

magic show, distribution of pamphlets dialogue with the 

community and signature campaigns were the main 

activities and the slogan ‘’ Hayi vachan hai sabse 

sachcha, Rahe surakshit jachcha bachcha’’ was spread 

over to the prople at large. 

1.8 Athavasa (Eight Month) Ceremony- 

Athavasa programme is inspired by the traditional ritual 

observed in the rural area, which had steadily gone into 

the oblivion. To lend it modern day significance the 

ceremony is revived. The ceremony now is observed by 

the side of the bride groom in collaboration with the side of the bride. Earlier it was a mere ritualistic 


formality but now this crucial period in the life of the would mother is taken as the right time to apprise 

her as well as her elders on the proper health care that is required, making all the supporting elements 

in the circle of the likely birth alert and active. We wish that this unique tradition ceremony should be 

modernized to highlight the health need of the hour in the life of the pregnant women so that reduction 

in the post natal mortality rate can be had. 

1.9 Pradhan Conference 

In the three blocks of the operational area, Lalganj, Kheero and Sareni, a one day conference of 

Pradhans, Panchyat Mitra and Panchayat Representatives was held, with a view to sensitizing the on 

their role and responsibility so that 60% of the Panchyats become effective implementers of various 

programmes. The BDOs, MOICs, Field Officers of CARE India, Block Pramukh and other project 

workers took part and the head of our organization had a motivational dialogue with them. 

All the Pradhans and Members of the health committees learnt that by virtue of the Sure Start 

Project awareness has been felt in 40 percent villages and people have started realizing their 

responsibility. Till now pregnant women and new born were not inoculated and delivery of child used to 

take place at home. But now people are eager to receive the benefits of available services, which has 

brought about an appreciable hike in institutional child birth and project workers are helping ANMs and 

ASHA workers, which is a sure sign of progress towards the goals set. 

All the Pradhan were apprised on the role and responsibility of the health and sanitation committee in 

the matter of safe child delivery, sprinkle disinfectants in the wells, and maintaining sanitation around 

hand pumps etc. 

1.10 ASHA Conference 

As we are aware, the role of Asha Bahu amongst 1000 

people at village level is very vital in the sphere of mother 

and child health. She has direct influence on controlling the 

post natal mortality; her indifference in proper discharge of 

duties spells emergency, this was the background of 

organizing Asha conference in these block to emphasize on 

their responsibility. These conferences proved to be an 

effective forum for Ashas to voice their points of view and 

share their experience mutually. A number of good Ashas in 

respect of providing effective and prompt health services 

were suitably rewarded by the organization. 

1.11 World Breast Feeding Week.- 

It is generally observed that on account of old and superstitious practices majority of women do not 

breast-feed their children within half an hour of the child 

birth. But this very early breast feeding is nectar like and if 

continued up to 6 months this makes the baby capable of 

resisting various disease. To spread this message 

amongst the community, we celebrated breast-feeding 

week from 1 st to 7 th August 2008 in the entire operational 

area. While the community has better level of awareness 

now, the service providers also stand to gain by enhancing 

level of capacity building inputs. In this campaign mothers’ 

in-law were sensitized through mothers’ committees. By 

means of door to door visit the benefits of breast-feedings 

were communicated. The husbands of pregnant women 

were involved in wall-writing and Healthy Baby show and Quiz events were arranged. 


1.12 Innovative initiative for reduction in mortality rate of mothers & new borns- 

A health post was organized in Adampur village of Teliyani 

development block of district Fatehpur in collaboration with letter 

Uttar Pradesh Health system development project Lucknow . 

The Health Post was aimed at improving the health level 

of women and men to ultimately extend this to convert into 

reduction of post-natal mortality rate of mothers and newly born 

babies. To attain the target, women’s health was checked and 

appropriately counseled on taking to balanced/notorious diet. 

Besides, pre and post natal medical check-up of pregnant 

women was done. In the Health Post, both male and lady 

doctors were engaged to test, inoculate and counsel on health 

issues. Medicines were distributes free of cost. A total of 10864 

women and newly born children were examined during the year. 

A total of 317 persons with alarming health signals were referred to primary health centre and district 

Hospital, which led to several lives saved. The post birth visit of workers also led several cases referred 

to hospital. In the entire year 12 Health check camps were organized for examination, 

inoculation/vaccination, IFA distribution and proper counseling. 

Main Achievements – 

1. Formation of 173 mother committees. 

2. Formation of 64 village Health & Sanitation Committees. 

3. Increase in vaccination of pregnant women from 16% to 48%. 

4. Increase in IFA consumption from 33% to 97%. 

5. Increase from 6% to 100% in the matter of cutting umbilical cord within one hour of 

delivery. 

6. Increase of 0% to 67% in the matter of treatment after cutting umbilical cord.

10. Increase from 7% to 88% in the matter of administering bath to the baby within 3 days of 

delivery. 

11. Increase from 6% to 80% in institutional deliveries. 

12.Availability of emergency vehicle in each village by Health Committees to help in 

institutional child birth. 

2. Education & Child Right 

The organization continues to accord pride of place to the issue of education and child rights, 

because the literacy rate of Fatehpur district is 58.84 percent, where male and female literacy rates are 

73.10percent and 44.60 percent respectively. It is evident from this, that the level of education in the 

district is deplorable. Due to discrimination women remain illiterate. 

In keeping with the right to education, promotion of child rights has been the main issue, which 

includes mainstreaming the education of school deop-outs and accessing welfare message launching by 

the state for them. Towards attaining these objectives the following activities were carried out. 


2.1 Management of special Child Labour Schools- 

Fatehpur district is backward where per capita income is very 

low and huge unemployment exists. For making both ends 

meet the head of the family unscrupulously compels young 

ones of 6 to 14 years of age to support the family kitty As a 

result of this in their age of formation children are driven to 

adopt such activities as rag picking helping at automobile 

repair shops and wayside restaurants taking note of the 

foregoing the organization has been running three schools of 

50 children falling in the age group of 6 to 14 years with the 

support of Labour Deptt, Fatehpur in these Child Labour 

schools children get education upto class 5 with free 

stationary and books as also mid day meal along with monthly 

scholarship. Their families are supported by formation of 

SHGs to rehabilitate them or supplement their income. 

2.2 Residential Bridge Course Under Sarva Shiksha 

Abhiyan 

With the support of Basic Education Deptt. NYST Tisi 

conducts a residential Bridge Course in Premnagar out of 

Airayan Block of Distt, Fatehpur main objectline was impart 

elementary education to all the children, since it is their 

fundamental right. It is a challenge to bring every child in the 

educational mainstream for this residential school, food, 

health check-up and free stationery and books are being 

provided to them. This six month long Bridge Course is 

designed to take over the children to regular schools. 

2.3 Alternative & Innovative Education Centre 

There are 161 brick fields operating in different development blocks of Fatehpr district, Labour from 

Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Orissa migrate along with their families. They sacrfice their 

formative age at 

the altar of 

livelihood, 

necessary for 

survival. With the 

support of Distt. 

Basic Education 

Deptt, the 

organization has 

started an 

alternative and 

innovative 

Education Centre at 10 brick kilns situated in Hathagaon and 

Bhitaura blocks of the district where 25 children in each batch in the age group 9 to 14 years are 

educated by trained instructors. Thus children receive education despite their day long working schedule 

their parents now has a smile on faces, for children would now be educated. 


2.4 Management of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya- 

In India women literacy is abysmally low as compared to other developed countries is caused by the 

patriarchal nature of the society which unfavorably differentiates with women and girl children. No 

wonder than that in Fatehpur district women’s literacy rate is at 44.60 percent, which is much lower 

than the support of district education & training institute, a Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya is being 

run for drop-out girls 

above and those who 

could not have any 

access to year and 

those who could not 

have nay access to 

schooling so for. In 

this school 100 girls. 

A reside and study 

upto 6 to 8 th 

standards under the 

guidance of teachers 

who provide them with learning materials. 

2.5 Management of Nehru Public School - 

The organization has been running a Nehru Public School in village Tisi of Haswa Block of the district 

with purpose of mainstreaming the education of the poor children where education is imparted in Hindi 

and English by trained teachers. 

Main Achievements 

1. To link 150 children with education 

2. Residential education for girls of 100 poor families 

3. Provided education to children of 250 migrated families 

4. Enrolment of 36 child labour cases to class 6 after getting 

them duly education 

3. Environment & Agriculture Development 

The organization has considered environment and agriculture 

development as its main concerns because in their absence it 

is not possible to conceive of a clean atmosphere and 

livelihood for the rural poor. With the help of environment & 

forest Deptt. of Govt. of India and CASA a series of activities 

were undertaken to promote environment conservation. 

3.1 National Environmental Awareness Campaign – 

With a view to making people aware of the adverse impact 

of various modes of pollution practices, an intensive 


campaign was organized in Firozpur village of Bhitaura block of the district. During the campaign 

people were informed on the harmful effect of overdose of chemical fertilizer, felling of tree, river 

pollution, use of pesticides, exploding population etc. As a result of the campaign people became 

adequately alert towards the ecologically harmful practices and they resolved to put an end to these 

practices. 

3.4 NADEP & Varmi Pit Construction 

It was a matter of common observation in the operational area the organization that owing to 

paucity of means of irrigation and poor soil quality and 

over usage of fertilizer had led to dwindling harvest and 

deleterious impact on humans as well as animals, it was 

therefore decided in the meeting of Block Sangh 

meeting that after identifying two village Vari and Murain 

Ka Purwa, the farmers be trained and Nadep & Vermi 

pits be constructed with the funds derived from the 

project. 

Upon trainaing, a positive result emerged. 

Construction of Nadep pit and vermi pit. In both the 

villages construction of 20 Nadep and 20 Vermi pits was 

taken up and compost formation had started. 

3.5 Water Melon and Vegetable Crop- 

Under integrated community development project, members of SHGs took to farming of vegetable 

and watermelon in our areas of operation. A few SHGs have started growing vegetables after they 

received financial support from the organization. 

3.6 Agriculture Development Training to 

Farmers- 

In the absence of technical knowledge farmers keep to 

growing seasonal crops which did not yield good 

income from farm produce. New findings reveal that 

production of cash crops makes farmers more 

prosperous guided by this, we sought the training 

support from the district horticulture Department and 

expert of Agriculture Science Centre Thariyawan on 

growing cash crops such as bananas, papaya, flower 

and herbs a part from vegetables. This has generated 

enthusiasm among the farmers. 


1. Formation & management of 21 farmers group 

2. Plantation of 10000 trees 

3. Growing watermelon in 100 bighas 

4. Orientation of farmer towards organic farming by constructing 20 vermi 

and 20 NADUEP pit 

5. Training on cash crops given to 25 farmer groups 


4. Women’s Empowerment & Self Dependence 

women’s rights are main concerns of the organization because our patriarchal society has all 

along discriminated against them and kept them marginalized, which has adversely affected their 

health, education, livelihood, property rights and sense of dignity. The organization has organized a 

member of women-empowering activities supported by Oxfam India trust. 

4.1 Management of Self Help Groups 

47 self help groups operative in all the village panchayats of the area covered by the organization 

hold their regular meetings. These meetings offer opportunities to express the difficulties and share 

experience in order to find out solutions to livelihood and other social problems. These SHGs are 

also effective in carrying out block and district level advocacy also. 

4.2 Women’s Conference and Public Hearing 

Programmes 

With a view to empowering women it is necessary to make 

an all-round strategy – change in the mindset, enabling 

them to exercise their right, involving them in decision 

making and control over affairs concerning their own life. 

It is also necessary to inform them about the various 

schemes of government and their role and responsibility if 

they happen to hold such posts as Panchayat Pradhan 

etc. In NREGA women do not get their share of jobs. All 

these were the considerations that were voiced in the 

celebration of International women’s day. 

4.3 Availability of Raw Materials for Forest Based Industry 

Under the Integrated Community Development Project in Gangakatri area of our intervention, the 

organization provided interest free fund to SHGs engaged in Ban making to enhance their income
