Restoring rights in Midnapore ,  West Bengal Kajla Jan Kalyan Samiti (KJKS)
The Midnapore area consists of 263 villages, spread across 2 districts: East and West Midnapore Not so long ago, Midnapore was in the grips of socio-economic neglect and decline.
Largely inhabited by a rural population, the area was prone to droughts and cyclones that made the soil saline and non-arable.
Left without a sustainable livelihood, farmers were forced to migrate.
Impoverished and living in abject poverty, child labour, child trafficking and child marriage/dowry were on the rise.
In both districts the government had failed to appoint new teachers, causing a poor teacher-student ratio and drop in the quality of education.
Teachers weren’t trained in implementing new child-friendly methods, nor were they monitored to ensure standards of education were met.
Children welfare was abysmal. Many were not covered under the Integrated Child Development Scheme, didn ’ t get nutritional supplements and were engaged in child labour and other forms of exploitation.
That’s when Kajla Jan Kalyan Samiti (KJKS) – a local NGO –  intervened to bring about change.
Joined by CRY, KJKS shifted the focus from welfare activities to an all-round approach towards bringing about sustainable change.

Today, the villages in Midnapore have experienced change in multiple aspects of their every day lives.
The villagers are more aware of their livelihood rights and the various government schemes available for them.
They participate in planning along with Gram Unnayan Samities and Health Committees.
Monthly meetings are held to discuss issues about livelihood, health and hygiene, communicable diseases like TB, AIDS.
Increased awareness has helped activate government health services and set up granaries.
High school sensitisation programs and study camps help empower the youth to claim their rights to information and participation.
Children stand up to candidates from political parties and demand the restoration of their rights.
They spread the word through Information boards, newsletters and other modes of communication.
Parents, teachers and members of Kishore-Kishori Bahinis (youth adolescent groups) actively work together to improve the standard of education.
Collectively, they have developed teaching-learning material, to engage students and encourage them to study.
A new curriculum that focuses on holistic learning and a child-friendly environment has evolved from this activity.
Children now participate in creative writing, art, theatre and also develop Nutritional Kitchen Gardens that aid learning.
There has been an increase in enrollment and retention of students.
KJKS volunteers and villagers work with the local police and the Child Welfare Committee to rescue and help child domestic workers and other children in need.
Mamoni Bera & Kakoli Mondal   were sent to Kolkata, to work as domestic labour. They were rescued by KJKS volunteers and today both go to school.
Active participation and awareness building has given strength to the change movement in Midnapore.
Today, the people and children have a voice, and are able to stand up for their rights and positively influence stakeholders and decision makers.
The story of change has restored the rights of many in Midnapore. It is change that will impact the future generations too.
Several other communities await change. Help enable it for them too. Donate   |  Volunteer   |  Spread the word To know more visit  www.cry.org  or email us at  [email_address]
