President’s Message
On the occasion of releasing the annual work report for the year
2017-18, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the
entire Nav Srishti family for taking immense efforts to improve the
lives of women and children across India.
As the President of the organization, there is an enormous sense of
pride in seeing how the organization has grown from strength to
strength, and the credit goes to all the people who have been
involved in this journey.
I congratulate the team and am excited to see it grow even further
and create even more meaningful change for another 25 years from now onwards"

Secretary’s Message
I wish to say that year 2018 is very crucial year as we are very near
to complete our 24 year journey. We got opportunity to impart few
new innovations for women and children and to some extent we
succeeded. I feel proud to share that the programs with women
and children undertaken by Nav Srishti have changes their lives.
Today many change agents are motivated and they are working for
the community.
At organization level we are moving forward to match with current demand of government,
private sector and civil society. We have tried our best to maintain optimum due-diligence
which any organization expects to see regarding transparency and accountability. We have a
strong dedicated team and provided opportunity to develop their skills and capacity through
various trainings and meetings. They not only attended these programs but they have
represented organization at many platforms.
Today we have strong bonding with many network partners and stakeholders working for
women and children in society at large. We have collectively organised many programs to
change the causes which have adverse impact on life of women and children.
Our dedication and commitment is equally endorsed by media and like-minded donors who
extended their relentless support. This helped us to bring positive change in life of people,
succeeded to provide timely support to many distressed women and children in need. This
support has always boosted our moral. We convey our sincere thanks to our donors, support
organisations, board members, teammates, well-wishers, stakeholders, volunteers and
community people for their sustained support.

individuals. Following is a summary of our efforts and achievements during the year-

6
Beti Ko Padhayenge Desh Ko Age Badhayenge
The Project
We continued our work on the Project “Beti Ko Padhayenge Desh Ko Age Badhayenge”. Oracle
provides financial and other supports for the program. A team of two full-time and five part-
time workers is associated with the Project.
Intervention area
Program is being implemented at two locations. One in Sangam Vihar in South Delhi covering I,
K and F Blocks. The other location covers families from Neb Sarai and its nearby localities that
also in South Delhi.
Project Goal
Project has a goal to bring changes in the undignified situation of women and girls in the
communities through providing opportunities of education to girls and by minimizing the
widespread gender disparities among the community by undertaking various awareness raising
methods.
Objectives
 To support school going/dropout girls to pursue/continue their education
 To sensitize parents and community towards a safe society for women and to reduce
gender based disparity
 To provide learning opportunity to girls to improve their performance at their study.
 To improve the knowledge and perspective of girls on the issues related to their life
through life skill sessions.
 To support girls suffering from some sort of depression / trauma through counseling
session and offer possible support to minimize her bearing to promote a favourable
atmosphere for them.
 To sensitize and trained School Management Committee towards ensuring the safety
and empowerment of girls
 To help girls to providing variety of options and they can choose according to their skills
and interest
 To develop Community base group for sustainability of program.
Beneficiary Community
Young Girls between the ages of 10 to 25 years are the main beneficiary under the program.
Brief Description of the Work Area
The project locations being the marginalized communities have multiple problems associated
with the women and girls. Women atrocities, gender discrimination and inequality, illiteracy

7
particularly among girls, poor health and hygienic condition followed by poor health services,
domestic violence and unsafe environment for children are prevalent in the communities.
The present programme intends to bring changes in the undignified situation of women and
girls in the communities through providing opportunities of education for girls (who are mostly
the first generation learners) and by minimizing the wide spread gender disparities among the
community through various awareness raising methods.
Major Activities
Two remedial and 2 bridge classes are being organised at Sangam Vihar and 1 remedial class at
Neb Sarai. Total 150 girls are availing the
benefits of these free of cost classes.
Girls are also provided ‘life-skill training’ from
time to time so as to help them to develop
and enhance their perspective on the issues
related to their lives. Career counselling
sessions are also organised which have
helped these youths to explore better
opportunities. It is noteworthy that 9 girls and
women from our centers have got good jobs
during the year.
Changes that are visible
We associated 55 dropout girls to our remedial classes. These girls have become a role model
for others and many parents are coming forward to support their daughters for further
education who discontinued their education due to various reasons. We think we would be able
to do it far better showing these programs achievement to other community as well as help the
girls who were deprived of education.
Impact/Changes
Many girls who had discontinued their studies
after Class- X in the community come to us
with an expectation for enrolment in NIOS for
12th
standard examination. On the one hand
we are facing difficulties to accommodate
these girls with the existing available
resources; it is also not appreciable to deny
these girls on the other hand.

8
Thus, in this situation we have decided to keep details of these girls and conveyed to them that
we would contact them if we get to arrange for their class 12 examination enrolment and
bridge classes. It has been observed that after the enrolment of girls in skill development
programme and NIOS, the girls are still facing restrictions to attend the classes outside their
area. The community people are very much conservative and don’t want the girls to go outside.
We are working hard on sensitization of the community.
Nowadays community girls have a platform to discuss their educational and other problems.
They know we are trying to save their education.
Quotes from Beneficiaries and stakeholders
Firdos is 22 years old. She lives at Sangam Vihar. After 8th
standard, she couldn’t continue her
education due to family pressure. Now she is a student at our bridge class. She said that “Nav
Srishti has changed our life; we have got good support to make our life better.”
Usha Rani, mother of Rupali thanks Nav Srishti for implementing this program especially the
library.
Moni, resident of K- block, could not afford tuition fee for her 3 daughters, so she enrolled
them to remedial classes. One of her daughter passed class 10th
this year. She is thankful for the
efforts and initiatives of “Nav Srishti” without which, her daughters would have not been able
to pursue their education.
Major Challenges
Last year we had enrolled dropout girls with NIOS with
the support of ONGC. But this year we have enrolled 24
girls in NIOS on their own cost. We have faced many
difficulties but 24 girls have successfully enrolled.
Mahak is Confident Now
Mahak, a 13-year-old girl is daughter of Kamal Singh, a
daily wage worker. She joined bridge class at Sangam
Vihar center last year. At the time of admission, she was
very shy and under-confident girl. But as time passed by;
she started taking part in various activities like reading,
writing, etc. and thus, gained confidence which led to a
notable enhancement in her reading and writing skills.
Now we can see a completely different Mahak who is much more confident and a much better
personality. Later on, with the help and efforts of our teammates she was admitted to formal
school where she is doing well at her study and actively taking part in co-curricular activities as
well. Her confidence was also boosted being admitted in school as it was an amazing

9
opportunity for her. She recently wrote a poem which got featured in their school magazine.
She also performs excellent yoga. Thus, a shy and under confident girl grew into an outgoing
and confident one.
Indirect Beneficiaries
We have covered 5000 families through door-
to-door survey in both areas (Sangam Vihar
and Neb Sarai)
Observations
We have learnt that there are many 1st
generation learner girls in the community
who are dropouts because of their parent’s
insensitivity and unawareness towards girls’
education and because of existing gender discrimination among the families. It is learnt that the
girls can be brought back to the mainstream education through proper facilitation of awareness
sessions with the families and the communities. Girls are forced dropout, but nowadays they
have a platform to discuss their educational and others problems. They know that we are trying
to save their education.
We learned that there are many girls who are facing violence and large scale discriminations in
their families and communities that resulted in depression and other psychological and
behavioral changes among the girls. We found it urgently necessary to address such issues
through other support services like psychosocial support, community mental health programs
and legal-aid support.

Vocational Training and Skill development Centre
We have initiated Vocational Training and Skill development Centre with our own resources as
there was a demand from the community. We are working to mobilize resources for it. The
center became functional from April 2017 onwards.
We have started three trades in form of computer training, beauty parlour and tailoring. Three
trainers are associated with the program. The center mainly caters the youths from I, K and F
Blocks in Sangam Vihar and Neb Sarai in South Delhi.
Project Goal
Program has a goal to help the youths in F, K & I blocks of Sangam Vihar to improve their skills
and competency so that they can explore better opportunities.
Objectives
The present programme intends to give vocational training to youths so that they are able to
seek a better job or start their own venture. This will help them to live a dignified life. Under
this program, computer training, tailoring and beauty parlour training is provided to potential
youths. The beauty parlour and tailoring training is reserved for females only but the computer
training is open for males and females both.
The project location consists of majorly the marginalized families which have multiple problems
associated with the women and girls. Atrocities against women, gender discrimination and
inequality, illiteracy, poor health and hygienic conditions, domestic violence and unsafe
environment for children are prevalent in the communities.
At Sangam Vihar
Program benefits local youths from F, K and I blocks in Sangam Vihar.
Major Activities
The girls are given professional training with
proper certification so that they can earn
their living after successfully completing the
training. Along with vocational trainings, the
girls are also given life- skills training so that
they can enhance their personality and grow
as a better person. The program has
benefitted 230 youths (206 girls and 24 boys)
at Sangam Vihar. Details of number of trades and its beneficiaries are given here-

At Neb Sarai
We have conducted training courses for girls in tailoring and beauty culture. Details of the
achievements under these courses are as follows-
Tailoring Center
Total 107 Beneficiaries completed the course of vocational training and skill development for
women with the support of “The Rotary Club of Delhi Midwest” & “Singer India limited” for
women promoting better livelihood. Every year two batches are trained under this course.
After six month there is an evaluation test conduct by Singer India Limited. Qualifying girls get a
valid certificate from Singer India limited. Total 25 girls got valid certificate this year.
Beauty culture
Total 19 Beneficiaries completed the course
of beauty culture with the support of
community contribution for women. After six
month there is evaluation test conduct by
Prayas Jan Shikshan Sansthan. Total 12 girls
got valid certificate this year. Now they seek
some job or will start their own work to live a
better life.
Changes That Are Visible
After completing their training, the women
are able to work and earn a living for their
family. This also helps in changing the
atmosphere and thinking of their families and
neighbourhood. They are becoming more
aware about their locality and things that are
happening around them. Women are becoming self-reliant and self-sufficient. Students who
come in the training transform themselves into better human beings.

12
The girls, who join the classes, are usually
helpless, under-confident and shy in nature.
We have seen that till the completion of their
6 months training period, they transform into
a confident person. Many of our students
have also grabbed jobs in various reputed
organizations with these training certificates.
Quotes from Beneficiaries and Stakeholders
 Baby, a student of beauty parlour
training course, said that the training provided here is 100% work-oriented which helps
us to apply the skills learnt here in our work.
 Shakila said that there are many beauty parlours which offer training in Sangam Vihar.
But Nav Srishti’s training is very different from those as the lessons are taught till the
time one attains 100% perfection in that particular lesson/ skill.
 Rekha, a student of tailoring, said that many a times it happens that we are not able to
attend the class on a particular day or for some days due to some problems. In such
cases, the things taught in those days are retaught to us and repeated till the time we
grab those things/ lessons/ skills.
Coverage
Program direct benefitted 337 girls directly while we reached 7500 families extensively.
Major Challenges Faced
Community people show less interest towards sending their girls to the centre. Early marriage is
also a big challenge.
Baby is a Role Model Now
Baby took the parlour training from our centre. After successful completion of her training, she
has opened a beauty parlour at her home. She is also an active member of our Mahila
Panchayat and gives proper time and attention to that also. She has become economically
sound and supports her family economically. She has become aware about her rights and duties
as a responsible citizen and also has the knowledge regarding the place where she should
report in case of any problem.

13
Umeed
Umeed is an initiative with the aim to improve
the lives of Army personnel’s Widows in
Delhi/NCR and contribute in minimizing their
suffering. It also works to develop their
perspective and empower them to overcome
many traditions /customs having adverse impact
on their lives providing training in vocational
trades and entrepreneurial skills in a self-
sustainable manner.
We are privileged that Honda (CSR Initiative) has
given us opportunity to contribute towards such
families. We have promoted a Foundation that
will look after the work, ensuring the benefit to
most needy families and involving other families.
This initiative is named “UMEED” that means
hope. We will create market linkages for
continuous demand of “bike-bags” and generate
income for them and also undertake several
outreach initiatives to understand the on ground
situation of the War/Army widows.

This would be a true homage for our valiant
martyr.

Crisis Intervention Centre (CIC)
The Program
We have continued our work on Crisis Intervention Centre (CIC) in Rohini District and four

We have been working on CIC since 2008. We had three counselors until November 2017 while

Mobile Helpline for Women
The Program
We have continued running Mobile Helpline for Women in North-West Delhi with the support
of “Delhi Commission for Women” (DCW) since July 2013. Six persons (3 Helpline Counselors
and 3 drivers) are associated with the program giving their services for 8 hours in a day on
rotation basis. The program has a goal to provide immediate support to victims of domestic
violence and other forms of atrocities against women and help them overcome the trauma
through counselling and legal support.
Objectives
The main objectives of this program are:
 To provide immediate relief to women in distress through counselling
 To rescue abandoned and destitute women and provide them safety and shelter
 To create awareness among women about the women related laws
 To facilitate solving disputes and provide legal support
Girls and women victim of any form of violence or abuse are the beneficiary of the program.
The Area and Population
Nav Srishti has been running this program with support from DCW in North West District of
Delhi covering seven Police Station areas. The population of coverage areas is estimated to be
15 Lakhs. Our direct reach through calls received was 1329. Out of these calls, 1031 cases have
been given by DCW’s 181 services. Total 230 cases were referred directly by DCW and 68 cases
received directly on our Helpline number from victims and community people.
Total 882 site visits made to provide immediate support to the victims in form of counselling,
facilitating police procedures, Family disputes resolving and medical support through linkage
with hospitals with Police assistance. Rescue of certain victims and providing them with shelter
at various Government and agency run shelter homes is another task this program performs on
a regular basis. During the year, we received 1329 calls on MHL number. Total 882 cases were
solved by visiting the site and 447 cases were provided telephonic counselling. As many as 50
FIRs have been lodged and 156 DD entries made. Total 14 victims have been rescued and put in
shelter homes during the period.
Major activities
The major activities carried out on case-to-case basis during the MHL operation includes but are
not limited to matrimonial discord, family adjustment problems, physical and mental
harassment by in-laws, harassment by neighbors or others, child custody, maintenance,
divorce and desertion, rape, physical abuse, emotional distress, legal advice and implications,

18
other miscellaneous problems of women, harassment related to police, non-cooperation from
police, sexual harassment at workplace, property dispute, missing / kidnapping / trafficking and
child marriage.
Changes are brought through continuous awareness creation and establishing faith in the
system. Through collaborative efforts, DCW is continuously striving to improve the services. We
as partners have been on our toes to provide immediate and appropriate services to the
victims. The changes could be seen on ground based on the data reported during the period. It
is evident that women are now coming out of the age-old tradition of hiding their personal
issues in the name of family and society. Now they are not only protesting any kind of atrocities
against them but also reporting and bringing them to the authorities for solving the issues
either through counselling or legal ways.
We need to make the authorities more accountable towards the laws related to women.
Especially the Police department needs to be more liberal and more amenable while dealing
the issues related to women.
Namrata (Name Changed) Met Her Family Again
Namrata is a 14 years old girl from a village in Sahebganj District of Jharkhand. Her mother died
few years back and father is differently able person with limited movement. One day a person
named Bablu from the same village came to her father and asked him to send Namrata to his
sister’s house in Patna (Bihar) for study and better future. Namrata’s father agreed to Bablu’s
offer and sent her with him. Bablu brought Namrata to Delhi instead of Patna and sold her to a
placement agency. The Placement agency sent her as domestic help in nearby residential area.
The owner “Sanjay” was a cruel man and used to torture Namrata. Namrata was very new to
such things and was afraid of seeing the girls crying so she agreed to work as a domestic help.
A kind hearted person called up 181 and informed that a minor girl is enslaved in one of his
neighbouring house. Nav Srishti MHL counselor rushed to the address and found Namrata in
the house. She talked to her and learned the whole story. The counselor talked to the House
owner and asked her the truth, but they were non cooperative and threatened our counselor of
dire consequences. MHL Counselor didn’t get scared and called Police. The Police inquired with
Namrata and her employers. Namrata wanted to go to her native place so we brought her to
Police Station and later put her at shelter home after MLC. She was presented before Child
Welfare Committee (Delhi) next day.
Police established contact with her family at her native village and arranged to send her home.
Now Namrata is at her native place and living happily with her family.

Nav-Srishti is working in Sultanpuri F-7 Block for last one year. This area comes under northern
part of Delhi. Nav-Srishti covered 900 households and total population of this area is
approximately 5000. People are working as casual labour and they are very busy in their life and
they are not sensitized about children protection.
Sultanpuri has main issue of protection and most of missing and POCSO cases are related to this
area. So we formed youth groups, children groups and vigilance groups to know the main
reason of missing and POCSO cases. After that we came to know that unattended children are
more vulnerable and become soft target for the kidnappers. According RTI Sultanpuri is a high
alarming area.
Major activities
Vigilance Group meeting:-
We have organised meetings in 5 high
alarming areas (Sultanpuri, Mangolpuri, Aman
Vihar, Begumpur and Alipur). We have
promoted 17 groups in these areas. We have
regularly conducted capacity building
meetings with these groups. We have taken
up the issue with ICPS to register these groups
under ICPS. Process is going on.

20
Interface program:-
We organised 2 vigilance interface programs with DCPU Alipur in Outer District. We have
organised interface program at Alipur. Total 80 vigilance group members participated in the
program and shared their concerns in front of Delhi Police. Vigilance Group member also
discussed about drug abuse in the area.
Impact:-
8 vigilance group members have shared their
problem to SHO regarding drugs and
prostitution. SHO promised to vigilance groups
and gave his contact number to call any time
in case of any problem.
Missing Children –
Advocacy work is done with DCPCR, WCD,
DCW, DCP, CWC, ICDS, HM, Media, DCPU and
NCPCR regarding child protection, missing
children and child education in Delhi and
Haryana. Our team gave support to missing child parents for lodging FIR and ensuring that case
should be dealt promptly and ensuring SOPs defined to be adopted in the case of a missing
child. Habeas corpus filed for the missing children on behalf of their parents.
Impact: -
We have been able to make a positive change
in the intervention area. Good support
received from Panipat CWC and it has been
quite encouraging working in collaboration
with them. We could recover 3 children
through Habeas Corpus.

26
We have observed many changes in our intervention area. Biggest change is improved
education scenario. Most of the children from our intervention area are going to Santosh Nagar
and Sarai government school. This is a positive change towards the education in the
intervention area.
We are mainly working in this area on education and protection. After our interventions in
Santosh Nagar, children and women have been active regarding education and child rights.
Before our intervention, 30 to 35 % children were going to school but now 70 to 75 % children
are going to school. In addition, our strong relationship with the School Management
committee and school staff is helping us regarding children admission. There is a good impact
of our work on education, child rights scenario and other related issues.

Major Challenges
Many challenges faced in the Santosh Nagar area like-
 There is a need to work on community involvement as it is not up to desired level
 Local community people are less concerned about children development processes
 SMC is not functioning as per norms and we have not been able to build pressure on
school authority to follow RTE norms. SMC members need to be oriented about their
role and responsibilities.
 Some of Police officers do not support missing children’s parents; Police officers are not
working actively on the missing children cases, lack of interstate coordination.
 Aanganwadi worker need to give attention to malnourished children in the community
 Local PHC’s support to pregnant women needs to be improved. Child immunization and
malnutrition should also be dealt with priority.
Coverage
We have benefitted 34 children (18 boys and 16 girls) aged 6-15 years. Besides we have
covered 236 children through various activities. Following is the detail of the people we

Now Ankit Goes to School
Ankit Kumar is a 14 years old child. Ankit lives at
Faridabad. His family migrated to Santosh Nagar in
search of employment. Ankit is the member of our
CAC Children Group. He was studying in class 9 at
government school, Sarai Faridabad. He failed in
the exam of class 9. After that school reopened
after exam, he went to school for readmission in
the same class but class-teacher refused for
admission. Teacher said that new children were
coming from different schools so we will give
chance to them. Therefore, we cannot admit Ankit
in same class.
Teacher suggested his parents to take T.C. of Ankit,
go to National Institutes of Open School (NIOS) for
admission. His parents wanted that Ankit should
study at Sarai School. One Day, our team was in
field then Ankit’s mother discussed this problem
with our team members. She told that she was
going to Sarai School to get Ankit’s T.C.
We stopped her and suggested to go to school next day as we could go with her and try for
admission. Next day our team went to Sarai School with Ankit and his Parents and discussed
with the School Principal. We shared with school principal that this family is very poor and
cannot afford admission at National Institutes of Open School.
We asked the Principal that please tell us why did you not admit Ankit. Principal sought some
time to look into the matter and assured us to admit Ankit. Finally Ankit got admission in the
Class 9 at Sarai Government School Sector 33 Faridabad, Haryana. Ankit and his parents are
very happy and thankful to CRY and Nav Srishti team.

Childline Faridabad
The Program
We have continued our work with Child Help-Line in district Faridabad, Haryana since March
2014. “Childline India Foundation” has been supporting the program. Childline India
foundation is the central agency responsible for initiating, implementing and monitoring the
Childline service and undertaking research & documentation, awareness and advocacy in the
area of child protection.
Seven full-time workers along with one part-time worker and several volunteers are associated
with the program. Program covers entire district of Faridabad in Haryana. Many children were
working as child labours engaged in domestic work. Program aims to support any child in-need
and we try our best to reach every needy child.
Goal
Major goal of the Program is to provide all sorts of the support to any child in need. Besides it
has a goal to promote an atmosphere in the area so that our area moves towards becoming a
child-friendly society, ensuring the rights and protection of children. It aims that India moves
increasingly towards becoming a child-friendly nation, ensuring the rights and protection of all
children. CHILDLINE will reach out to every child in need and ensure their rights and protection.
Major Objectives-
 To ensure the practice of the highest levels of child protection standards in Childline.
 To ensure a well-defined and practiced reporting mechanism for child protection
violations and a time bound redressal system.
 To ensure assessment and management of child protection risk in Childline spaces.
 To create consciousness and awareness about child protection
Approach
Children are citizens and rights-holders. The dignity, liberty and freedom of every child must be
respected. Besides, the best interests of the child must remain in focus in all matters that affect
or concern the child.
Children have the right to freedom of expression, to participate in decision concerning them. A
child’s right to privacy and confidentiality must be respected within an overall consciousness
and awareness of child protection requirements. Besides, zero tolerance of any form of abuse
of any child whether direct or indirect is to be maintained. Child protection is the responsibility
of all.
Major Activities-
Sincere efforts have been made to help the needy children and make local people aware
regarding Childline. We have organized various activities as the details given here-

Family Counselling Centre
The Program
We have been running Family Counselling Centre with the support of Central Social Welfare
Board since 2008. Two fulltime counsellors and one part-time office bearer are associated with
the program. Program mainly covers Neb Sarai, Maida Garhi, Rajpur, Chhattarpur, Freedom
Fighter Colony and Sainik Farm localities.
Objectives
The program works with an objective to resolve family disputes amicably outside court and help
in delivering justice to the victim. It adopts a comprehensive approach focusing on:
 Listen to the complainant and understand the problem
 Get a written complaint and send a notice to the second party
 Listen to both parties and define a framework to resolve the issue
 Counsel both the parties based on the facts and enable them to reach on a conclusion.
 Refer the case to appropriate agency i.e. Family Court, DCW, DLSA etc. in case the
matter is not resolved
Community people, victim women or their family members approach FCC in case of any family
dispute. Besides, concerned Police Station, “National Commission for Women” or “Delhi
Commission for Women” also refer cases to FCC for counselling.
Work Area
The Program covers Neb Sarai, Maidan Garhi, Rajpur Khurd and Chhattarpur in the South Delhi
covering around 20,000 families. Families in large number from weaker sections in the society
in Neb Sarai and nearby vicinities are facing challenges on illiteracy particularly among girls,
poor hygienic conditions, gender discrimination / violence etc. As women do not have any
support system in the family and society as well, they are on the losing side and need moral and
legal support.
During the year, we have 416 direct beneficiaries while 3874 indirect beneficiaries were
covered through various activities.
Major activities
Awareness program for “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao”
We organised an awareness programme “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao” on dated 21st
February
2018 at Neb Sarai. Total 35 girls and women participated in this awareness program. The main
objective of the programme was to educate women/girls about their rights. The program
intends to bring a change in the undignified situation of women and girls in the communities.
The issues such as gender equality, girl education career development, child marriage, etc. were

33
taken up for discussion in this program. We motivated the participants to join “Beti Bachao Beti
Padhao” campaign and generate awareness
against gender discrimination so that the
thinking of next generation is changed
positively.
Celebration of Swachchhta Pakhwada
Nav Srishti team celebrated “Swachchhta
Pakhwada” On 15th
March 2018 with full
enthusiasm at Neb Sarai. This celebration
paved the way to understand importance of water and sanitation. Community members were
mobilized to create awareness on Swachchhta Pakhwada and given information on various
issues related to cleanliness.
SMCD also joined us and disseminated the key information regarding the Swachchhta MoHUA
application. Through this application, people can complain directly and SMCD will address
resolve it within 24 hours. Our team educated the people about street cleanliness and garbage
management. People were asked to be cautious of potholes as a child in the community was
died falling into a pit.
International Women Day Celebration
On Thursday, 8th
March 2018, we celebrated “International Women Day” at Neb Sarai with
community members. We conducted an awareness program in which community members
were made aware about women rights. This program was not restricted to women only as
awareness to male is equally important so that they know about to respect women and behave
with them equally. So the women were asked to forward this information to female as well as
male. Women specifically were told about their rights and laws related to domestic violence,
dowry, right to livelihood etc.
Community Meetings
During this year, we organised 24 community
meetings in our work area with the purpose
of spreading awareness among women
regarding their rights, various laws that help
women and social issues such. Total 495
women joined these meetings. We also
acquainted them with the role of FCC and
motivated them to approach us when if
needed.

34
Meetings with Police:
12 meetings were conducted with police personnel in Neb Sarai and Sangam Vihar. The
meetings were attended by 36 police personnel and were focused on the problems faced by
women victims when approaching the police. Emphasis was laid on taking adequate measures
to ensure timely registration of FIR and providing prompt and effective support to the victims.
Advisory Committee:
An Advisory Committee has been constituted to help the FCC team. It is comprised of seven
members, including, three representatives from Nav Srishti, one worker from ICDS, one legal
expert, one medical expert and one police representative. The committee meets on quarterly
basis to discuss the nature of cases that approach the FCC, the steps to be taken on those cases,
challenges faced by the team and their remedy, latest legal developments and other related
issues.
Changes That Are Visible
FCC has helped in improving overall scenario regarding violence against women. Awareness
regarding FCC has given a confidence to women that they have a platform to be approached in
case on any untoward incidence. Victim women and concerned families have found the
programme very useful, as they have been able to resolve the dispute outside the court and
that in a very cordial atmosphere.
Impact/Changes
FCC deals with all kinds of problems, which occur in a family unit. Major problems that are
frequently reported are domestic violence, economic problem in terms of maintenance within
the family, inebriated spouse and his malicious behavior and sexual harassment; dowry
demand and other family disputes. The FCC makes utmost effort to soothe the family and make
all attempts to resolve the dispute. Men and women both approach FCC but number of women
cases are comparatively higher. There are several instances when the family was almost on the
verge of splitting but intervention of FCC helped to keep them united. The initiative has helped
many families to have a happy living. We have observed that-
 People who have approached FCC in past and had good experience and key persons of
community suggest any victim to approach FCC.
 Mostly cases come from our intervention area while some persons / families from other
areas also approach our FCC as well.
 FCC team has good rapport with local police and community leaders.
 Police also send cases to family counseling centre.
Family counselling centre registers case and takes immediate action according to need of
complainant. Therefore, Women do not want to go to court or local police. They prefer to get
their cases resolved through FCC. FCC has resolved 62 cases with its efforts during the year.

husband now lives with her in Delhi and earns money and also has become responsible. He
teaches children in school. Now both of them earn.
Name: Reena Place: Nab Sarai
Reena has been living with her parents for more than one year because she does not have
enough money to file case against her in-laws in court. That is why prosecution did not take
place. Reena got information about FCC and she came to our centre and told us that her sister
and mother in-law used to beat her and her husband would not come forward to save her. We
called her in-laws to FCC for counselling. We counselled them. They agreed and apologised.
Now Reena lives with her husband and in-laws happily. She thanks Nav Srishti.
Name: Mannu Devi Place: Nab Sarai
Mannu Devi is living in Delhi with her husband and her child. She belongs to Bihar. Her husband
is a habitual drinker. Due to which Mannu Devi was very upset. She came to know about FCC
and approached us. She narrated her problem in detail. Her husband and in-laws were called
for counselling many times. Her husband could not give up drinking but reduced the quantity.
Now Mannu Devi says that earlier there was a lot of disturbance and fighting at home but now
he does not do so. She feels better.
Major Challenges faced during the reporting period
 Reporting and addressing cases of incest is a major challenge where the family members
do not come to family counselling centre.
 In some cases, victim changes her statement
 Sometime family is not interested to file case in court.
Children Are Going To School Now
Meena (changed Name) is a resident of Neb Sarai. She came on May 5, 2017 to family
counselling centre for complaining against her husband. She narrated her painful story that her
husband used to come home drunk & beat her badly (Physical violence) in front of her children.
He also used to abuse her & misbehave with children as well and removes his cloths in front of
the children. It was having a negative impact on the children. She has four children. She further
said that her children were not able to perform well in their studies due to bad family
environment. Children are very disturbed due to all this. She shared that her husband did not
pay school fee of their children. That is why the elder son had to leave the school and other
children were not going to school.

36
Then we called her husband to FCC and did his counselling. During the counselling, we came to
know that he is mentally disturbed. After that we advised him to visit Malviya Nagar hospital for
treatment. We counselled him time to time. He took his treatment & medicines from hospital
on time. Now he is in a better condition. At present all the children of Meena are going to
school and studying well, now Meena is also working with free mind and both husband & wife
are living happily. Family environment is peaceful now.
Capacity Building
 Delhi Social Welfare Board organized an orientation programme for FCC counsellors on
16 and 17 December 2017 at Delhi University. Ms. Neetu and Mr. Ram Mohan Shukla
participated in the training.

Wajood; Mahila Panchayat
The Initiative
We have worked on an initiative in collaboration with Action India. The initiative is named
“Wajood” and it is aimed to support women suffering from domestic violence and other related
family disputes. It is a Mahila Panchayat collectively promoted by local women. The program
began on 1st
September 2017.
Program primarily covered I, K & F blocks in Sangam Vihar, South Delhi. We have appointed one
Para-Legal Worker to help the Mahila Panchayat members in deciding the steps in different
cases as per their nature and requirement.
Main objective of the program is to bring a change in the undignified situation of women
caused due to domestic violence and other similar causes. It focuses on -
 To support helpless women by helping them in getting justice
 To sensitize the society on issues such as domestic violence, dowry, child marriage, etc.
 To provide legal help to women who do not have access to and knowledge about legal
procedures.
 To work with volunteers and trying to ensure that no cases of harassment against women
are reported by building a vast network of volunteers among the community
Any woman who is facing challenges in form of domestic violence and any other form of
injustice / dispute.
The project locations being the marginalized communities have multiple problems associated
with the women and girls. Women atrocities, gender discrimination and inequality, illiteracy
particularly among girls, poor health and hygienic condition followed by poor health services,
domestic violence and unsafe environment for women and children are prevalent in the
communities. One of the major causes of crimes/ violence/ harassment, etc. against women is
use of drugs i.e. use of alcohol and other form of intoxicants.
The present program intends to bring a change in the undignified situation of women in the
community in getting justice and helping them with legal proceedings, if required, in the cases
of domestic violence or harassments against them.
Major Activities
 Meeting of volunteers of Mahila Panchayat takes place every Wednesday and hearing the
cases of different women victims from the community was done there.
 Encouragement of volunteers is done to create a network of volunteers so as to expand the
reach.

38
 Trainings from DLSA on legal aspects are organised.
 We have organised leadership development trainings to the volunteers.
With the opening of Mahila Panchayat in
the locality, mentality of people has been
changed. Men of the area refrain from
harassing the women in the family. They
think that if we do anything wrong, Mahila
Panchayat would interfere in the matter
which would lead to opening up of their
personal matters in the public.
 Rita said, “Just a phone call from Nav Srishti team has improved my husband’s
behaviour and now he takes care of me and also helps me in household chores.”
 Members said, “We actively take part in its meeting as a member of Mahila Panchayat
and raise our voice against any wrong that is being done in the community.”
Major Challenges faced
 The police department and other government departments do not co-operate with us
much. Whenever we suggest any women victim to call the women helpline or go to the
police, they complain that those people are not hearing their complaints.
 Women accept all the violence and harassment as their fate and don’t raise their voice
against any such acts. They think that it is the husband’s right to beat his wife.
 Some women suspect their husbands and come to Panchayat for every small issue.
Rita Got Her Right
Rita is a part of “Nav Srishti” for last 5 years. Despite being illiterate, she is very active in the
fieldwork and performs well at her work. Her husband is a professional tailor and owns a
tailoring shop. She natively hails from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. Once, they went to visit their
family in their hometown and discovered that their parents were dividing their ancestral
property but her mother-in-law refused to give Rita and her husband their share. But she
continued her fight for her share in the property.
She tried her best that her family matters should not go to public but when she was not getting
justice, she filled a case in the village Panchayat. Since it was a male Panchayat, Rita, being a
woman could not put forth her arguments directly, so her brother-in-law helped her and
represented her in the Panchayat. The decision was made in favour of Rita and her husband got
his share of the property. Rita says that Panchayat has given her the courage and knowledge to
fight for justice.

Mahila Panchayat Program
We have been running Mahila Panchayat program since 2001. The program is supported by
Delhi Commission for Women. Five full time workers are associated with the program.
Presently we are running three Mahila Panchayats in Delhi at Nangloi (West Delhi), Bharola
(North) and Holambi Kalan (North West)
Program has a goal to bring significant changes in lives of local women and make safe
environment for them. It has an objective to provide support to victim women. The women
from vulnerable communities where maximum number of violence against women takes place
have been motivated to join the Panchayat as its members. Any woman suffering from any kind
of violence, harassment, assault or any dispute with in the family can approach the Panchayat.
The work Area
Nav Srishti is running Mahila Panchayat in Holambi Kalan. This area comes under northern part
of Outer Delhi and is a resettlement colony, developed in the year 2000. Most of the working
people are engaged in the occupations from unorganised sector. They don’t have any regular
jobs and therefore no regular income. It increases hardship of their lives. Women and children
are the most sufferers.
Nav Srishti runs a Mahila Panchayat in
Nangloi. This area comes under northern part
of outer Delhi and is a resettlement colony,
developed in 1965. Most of the working
people are engaged in own business, daily
wages and government sectors. Mahila
Panchayat covers all area that comes under
Nangloi police station like Nangloi Camp No. 1,
Camp No. 2, Camp No. 3, Veena Enclave,
Rajdhani Park, Rajendra Park, Amar Colony,
Nangloi Extension, Shiv Ram Park, Nilothi and Kamruddin Nagar etc.
Nav Srishti runs Mahila Panchayat in Bharola. Bharola is slum cluster and comes under northern
part of Delhi. Most of people are working in Daily wages at Azadpur Mandi. Men are involved in
alcohol and drugs addiction. It is a main problem so women are working to run their families.
Major activities
Nav Srishti held a big community meeting on 15 Nov 2017 at Holambi Kalan on issue of
protection for women. Around 1000 women participated in meeting. Ms. Swati Maliwal
(Chairperson, DCW), Ms. Sarika Chaudhary (Member DCW), Ms. Promila Gupta (Member DCW),
and Ms. Rekha (Consultant, Mahila Panchayat) joined the meeting. Ms. Swati Maliwal delivered

40
a speech on DCW’s work and problems faced during the closing of illegal wine shop in different
area of Delhi. She told to women that how they visit and solve problem of Sulabh toilet, illegal
wine-shop and molestation in Delhi. She shared that Delhi police is not working properly
because they are need of 66000 more police personnel. Many police officers are appointed for
VIP people’s security so that women and girls are not safe in Delhi. All women shared that there
are many illegal wine-shops in their area, they complaint to police but no action has been taken
by police yet.
MS Swati Maliwal asked the women that who want to close wine shop and who support to visit
illegal wine-shop in the area. All women agreed to close illegal wine-shop. Ms Swati Maliwal
and DCW team visited 5-6 illegal wine-shops
in the area. Ms. Swati Maliwal raided on the
wine shops and found many wine bottles and
called to police for strict action. Police came
and all wines bottle were handed over to
them and police took a statement of women
and wine shop owners. All women thanked
DCW team for their visit. Ms. Swati Maliwal
and DCW team thanked Nav Srishti and
women for their support. After the visit 2
illegal wine shops were closed and 2 FIR
lodged against illegal wine shop owners.
This year Delhi commission for women has
changed their strategy for Mahila Panchayat
work, Commission has gave 1 Panchayat for 1
police station and Panchayat is covering all
area like police station and all awareness
meeting and visit held in this area so Nav
Srishti held awareness meeting, Gali meeting,
one to one visit, Rape Roko Signature
Campaign and Community meeting in all area
of police station Nangloi.
Mahila Panchayat team made the community aware on domestic violence, Women rights,
helpline number 181 etc. After awareness meeting many women came to know about Mahila
Panchayat and desired to become member /volunteer in Panchayat. They are working in their
area and making the community aware and sending cases to Mahila Panchayat. Total 234 cases
are registered in three Mahila Panchayats.

41
In this year 3 Mahila Panchayat staff merged in 1 Mahila Panchayat and 5 staff of Panchayat is
working in community as a powerful. Mahila Panchayat budget has increased so Panchayat
team is working smoothly in community and held 145 community meetings. After counselling 5
registered cases, they sent 2 or more new cases to Mahila Panchayat. RWA (A-block, camp no
2) has supported Panchayat program and cases. 50 people (Mahila Panchayat member and
volunteers) have given information in community about the Mahila Panchayat.
Quotes
 SHO, Mangolpuri gave appreciation letter for Nav Srishti.
 Councillor, Jyoti Rachhoya from Nangloi gave letter to Nav Srishti
 RWA of A-Block, Camp no 2 Nangloi gave letter to Nav Srishti.
Major Challenges faced
Mahila Panchayat budget is not disbursed timely. It has an adverse impact on smooth function
and implementation of Panchayat activities.
Bharti Got the Right of Her Child
On September 28, 2017, Aarti’s case came in the Mahila Panchayat and she told in Panchayat
that her son had gone to Hardwar for bringing Kanwad. He had died in an accident. My
daughter-in-law Bharti is Pregnant and now she is living at her maternal house. She alleges that
we want to harm her and her child and she wants to take all their belongings back. We do want
to give all dowry items back in presence of the Panchayat.
Mahila Panchayat investigated the matter. Bharti's family sought some time to solve the
matter. Panchayat sent the first information letter to Bharti on October 9, 2017 and on October
11, 2017 both sides attended the Panchayat. Bharti said that her in- laws will not claim the
child. She further said that it was difficult for her to live at her in-laws home as her husband was
no more. Bharti demanded her stuff back. Mahila Panchayat told that Arti wanted to give your
stuff through Panchayat. After getting mutual consent, Bharti presented the list of her dowry
items. Aarti returned all the items as per list. Then the Panchayat got Bharti's luggage from
Arti's house and both parties signed the agreement letter and made the video and gave video
to Bharti. Arti thanked the Panchayat and said that you saved me from court, I am very grateful
to the Panchayat.

Crèches for the Children of Construction Workers
The Program
We have been running crèches for the children of construction workers since February 2017.
The program is supported by Mobile Creche. We are running two crèches; one at ANSAL API
Gurugram Sona Road and the other one at Sare Home. A team of six teachers and two helpers
is associated with the program. We are also running crèches for construction workers’ children
at Ghaziabad with the support of Mobile Crèches. The program started from December 2015. A
team of five teachers and two helpers is looking after the activities carried out under the
program. Under this programme, we have two crèche centres running in Ghaziabad, located at
Mohan Nagar and Raj Nagar, aimed at looking after the children of working mothers. This
enables the mothers of these children, who work as construction labourers, to work with
minimal concerns about the safety of their children.
Project Goal
The programme has a goal to benefit children from weaker sections and help construction
labour to go to their work without any worry. We have covered working mother’s children up
to the age of 12 years.
Objectives
The programme is aimed at looking after the children of working mothers and to provide them
with supplementary nutrition, hygiene, healthcare and pre-education facility in a safe
environment.
Construction labours and their children are
main beneficiaries under the program. At the
construction site of Ansal API and Sare Home
Gurugram Sona Road, there have been
employed migrant labourers from Bihar,
Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, West
Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. They have been
accommodated in 170 jhuggis near the site.
More than 1000 persons are accommodated
in theses Jhuggis.
Major activities
Teacher have organised various activities with these children as poem / storytelling, personal
hygiene, joyful learning through games etc. We have also involved these children in joyful

adequate health care, nutrition, safe care, access to breastfeeding and basic stimulation and
nurturing. These children end up on construction sites, invisible to corporate houses,
administration and governments. Maternity support and crèches for young children barely
exist, despite a clear need for child care support. Children live in unsafe and unhygienic
surroundings; lack of physical care, emotional nurture or mental stimulation; incomplete
immunizations; no exclusive breastfeeding; exposure to water borne diseases; inadequate
nutrition; disrupted schooling are among the major challenges.
Now Children Go To School Daily
Parents (Shiv Kumar and Radha) have a problem that their siblings (Nitish, Niraj, Sonia,
Sandhya, and Tanya) don’t go to school daily. They wanted to keep an eye on growth and
development of children, on their development of knowledge and on their overall progress.
Shiv Kumar and Radha are from district Sivan, Bihar. Tanya is in crèches, Sonia and Sandhya are
in bridge course, and Nitish and Niraj were living at their native village with their grandparents.
Shiv Kumar has one younger brother, parents and a sister. Sister is married. He doesn’t have
agriculture land in village and has kachcha house. he was not able to earn livelihood for his
children so he came here in search of employment.
Our team members went to parents and talked to them about the program run by the
organization. Staff members also talked to contractor. Staff members also explained about the
program and made them visit where crèche was running. Parents understood our program and
sent their children to centre. They have told us that their children don’t want to stay at home as
they love to come to centre desperately.
Mansi’s health improved and participation increased
When Mansi came to our ANSAL API centre, we measured her weight and height and
surprisingly found that she is utterly malnourished and her health falls under the MAM
category. Due to her poor health conditions she occasionally participated in the activities
organized at our CAC centre and remained abysmally quite most of the time. Primary reason for
her poor health can be attributed to lack of balanced diet and her poor hygiene.
We started providing her healthy nutritious food which included egg, oil, banana, Khichadi etc.
A keen attention was given to maintain her clothes, nails, body, shower and overall hygiene.
Moreover, she was actively motivated to participate in the centre’s activities. The same was
communicated to her parents so that they can take care of her hygiene as well.
Her parents started looking after Mansi’s diet and hygiene more vigilantly and carefully. Unlike
before, Mansi now looks more clean, hygienic and healthy. Her weight has increased from 13
Kg to 14Kg and her health now comes under normal category. She actively participates in the
activities organize by the centre.

and participated in various activities like dances, songs, poems etc.
Celebration Regarding Republic Day – On 25 January 2018 we organised a program regarding
Republic Day with the crèche children. The activity was thoroughly enjoyed by all the children
and it was also a great platform for them to showcase their talent by participating in various
activities such as singing, poem recitation, solo dance, group dance, speech and sloganeering
on cleanliness. The importance of republic day was also explained to the children and the
program ended on a high note with playing the National Anthem.
