understand that there are issues in urban slums also, but it restricted itself working for the rural communities
only to reduce the gap between urbanized India and rural Bharat
 Janakalyan believes in empowerment and sustainability strategies and all its programs are designed with these
core principles through institution building.
 Accountability and transparency are core values of Janakalyan and maintained at all levels to its highest degree.
 Janakalyan never considers itself an alternative to Government but a watchdog for the community. It does
believe itself as an assisting agency for the Government in developing the nation and its citizens.

From Director’s Desk

By publishing 23rd Year Book of Janakalyan, we are stepping into 24th

year of existence in the rural India and the forthcoming year is Silver
Jubilee Year for Janakalyan. I still remember the day I drafted the
bylaws of Janakalyan and took days of brainstorming to finalize the
name & rules of functioning. The name suggested by one of the founders
Sri Shanti Ranjan Das was “Udaybhanu” while I proposed
“Janakalyan”. Remaining founders like Sri R G Kulkarni, Sri M S
Raviprakash and others decided to name our brain child as
JANAKALYAN. That was typewriters era and I had to change, modify and retype the
handwritten manuscript of bylaw several times near Head Post Office, Raichur. I must also put
on record that the original bylaws have been amended several times and redrafted based on the
demand of the time during this development journey of 23 years. I feel proud today to be the only
person witnessing its 24th birth day amongst all those who started the developmental journey with
me in 1997.

Janakalyan took birth to empower and address the issues of the victims of partition of India, i.e.
Bengali communities rehabilitated by Government of India in Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project
of Sindhanur. Long battle of 23 years at various levels convinced the Government and passed the
historic Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 which provides the Indian Nationality to all those
sons of the soil, who became the victims of a political decision which divided Sonar Bangla and
these communities had to take refuge in their own homeland leaving aside their properties in the
other part of the border. Like all other years, the 23rd year of Janakalyan is named as Indian
Nationality Year and is celebrated widely by the beneficiaries.

Citizenship journey began soon after inception of Janakalyan at local level which was taken to
central government in recent years. The weeklong mass agitation ended with Upavas Satyagraha
in 2001 succeeded to draw the attention of State Government and compelled the District Magistrate
to constitute a “Salaha Samitee” chaired by the Assistant Commissioner to address the issues
including citizenship of these rehabilitated Bengalis. Meeting with the then Minister of Home
Affairs Sri Shivaraj Patil ji, Sri Rajnath Singh ji and during the current year with Sri Amit
Shah ji could be put on record amongst all other efforts in this journey. Support extended by the
Union Ministers like Sri Prahlad Joshi ji, Sri Anant Kumar ji, Member of Parliament Sri K
Virupaksha ji, Sri Shivarame Gouda ji and Sri Karadi Sanganna ji must also be humbly
remembered for their contributions in this journey. Alongside the pen fight, many mass protests
were also organized at Jantar Mantar of New Delhi by bringing all the victims of partition from
18 states of India under one platform, Nikhil Bharat Bangali Udbastu Samanvay Samiti, for
which I am National General Secretary. The communities as well as Janakalyan team is happy
with this achievement and thankful to Government of India for providing Indian Nationality to
all those who are deprived off their birth right.

nvironment –Water Bank stops farmers suicides by providing lifesaving critical irrigation
E Give2Asia funded initiative to sustain the intervention initiated with farmers of Gadag District
Irrigation is the most critical input in agriculture; more so in tail end of any irrigation project of India.
Janakalyan has developed a tested model to address this issue for Tungabhadra Left Bank Canal and
Malaprabha Irrigation Project command areas. The model is tested over decades and many farmers have
benefitted by this intervention. One such farmers is Iranna Sannadini of Naragunda taluk who has bagged
the BEST FARMER AWARD from the department of Agriculture, Gadag. IEC & capacity building
training on water, organic farming, diversified cropping, water budgeting, NRM, etc. are regularly
conducted throughout the year with rural farmers, farm women and youths.

Water Bank – addresses 2-extremes of water
availability by harvesting excess water
during rainy season and providing lifesaving
irrigation during peak season – thereby
avoiding farmer suicides
Water Bank – helps to keep the remaining
part of the land green throughout the year.
Diversification of crop practices by
introducing various productive units to
maximize land use intensity and profitability.

Water Bank – introduced by Janakalyan and
Sri Iranna Sannadini of Hadli of Naragunda
taluk become the BEST FARMER of Gadag
district in few years. He is source of
inspiration for all farmers of the district now.
Multiplying the effects manifold by this.
Water Bank – combined with all other
technologies available in the market can help
DOUBLING farm income and not in
isolation. Convergence with all line
departments and knowledge institution is key
focus of Janakalyan.

nergy – every citizen is responsible to mitigate climate change & global warming
E Self supported IEC & Training initiatives

The goal is simple. Carbon dioxide is the climate’s worst enemy. It’s released when oil, coal, and other
fossil fuels are burned for energy—the energy we use to power our homes, cars, and smart phones. By
using less of it, we can curb our own contribution to climate change while also saving money. Here are a
dozen easy, effective ways each one of us can make a difference.

Janakalyan is conducting IEC and capacity building training to rural communities around these 10 points
to mitigate climate change and global warming.
1. Speak up! Talk to your friends and family, and make sure your representatives are making good
decisions. By voicing your concerns—via social media or, better yet, directly to your elected officials
- you send a message that you care about the warming world.
2. Power your home with renewable energy: Take a look at your electric bill; many utilities now list
other ways to support renewable sources on their monthly statements and websites.
3. Invest in energy-efficient appliances: Energy efficiency is the lowest-cost way to reduce emissions.
When shopping for refrigerators, washing machines, and other appliances, look for the Energy
Star label. It will tell you which are the most efficient.
4. Reduce water waste: Take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, and switch
to Water Sense-labeled fixtures and appliances.
5. Actually eat the food you buy - and make less of it meat: Approximately 10 percent of energy use
goes into growing, processing, packaging, and shipping food - about 40 percent of which just winds
up in the landfill. If you’re wasting less food, you’re likely cutting down on energy consumption. And
since livestock products are among the most resource-intensive to produce, eating meat-free meals
can make a big difference, too.
6. Buy better bulbs: LED light bulbs use up to 80 percent less energy than conventional incandescent.
They’re also cheaper in the long run: A 10-watt LED that replaces your traditional 60-watt bulb will
save you $125 over the light bulb’s life.
7. Pull the plug(s): Don't leave fully charged devices plugged into your home's outlets, unplug rarely
used devices or plug them into power strips and timers, and adjust your computers and monitors to
automatically power down to the lowest power mode when not in use.
8. Drive a fuel-efficient vehicle: Gas-smart cars, such as hybrids and fully electric vehicles, save fuel
and money. Before you buy a new set of wheels, compare fuel-economy performance here.
9. Rethink planes, trains, and automobiles: Choosing to live in walkable smart-growth cities and
towns with quality public transportation leads to less driving, less money spent on fuel, and
less pollution in the air.
10. Shrink your carbon profile: You can offset the carbon you produce by purchasing carbon offsets,
which represent clean power that you can add to the nation’s energy grid in place of power from
fossil fuels. But not all carbon offset companies are alike. Do your homework to find the best
supplier.

nsuring health – Insure potential victims of road & other accidents
E The Policies for Poor, USA supported Initiative

The youths from Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project engage themselves as operator/driver for combined
harvesters and many of them lose their lives or become permanently disabled due to accidents. These
youths, after completion of their matriculation, also engage in construction field and rides motor cycles
without driving license and required skills/ knowledge about it.

With the financial support of The Policies for Poor, USA, Janakalyan has provided insurance coverage to
rural youths who are potential victims of road accidents as they are Year Beneficiaries
ignorant about traffic signals, rules and safety measures. About 61 2018-19 61
youths have been covered during the year and are trained about traffic
2017-18 53
signals, rules and safety measures while handing over the policy
2016-17 49
documents in an in-house training program. IEC and capacity building
training on road safety, traffic rules, traffic signals, driving license, helmet, etc to these potential victims
of road accidents are integral part of the program.

Swacch Bharat Mission: Toilets are being constructed

in rural areas but are rarely used for several reasons;
lack of hygienic condition is one major factor among
many others. Janakalyan identifies such families and
provides them with a hygiene kit containing 2
buckets, 2 mugs, toilet cleaning agent, brush, soaps,
detergent cakes, surf, scrubbers, etc. so that the
toilets are kept hygienic and usable. About 494
families have been habituated to use the toilets daily
by all the members of the house since 2010 and about 52 families have been supported during the
current financial year (2019-20). IEC & capacity building training have been conducted throughout the
year on health, hygiene, sanitation and cleanliness, etc. to the rural women and farmers.

Iramma of Hulugunchi village is provided The rural communities are made so aware
with a Hygiene kit and she and her family about ODF that though they live in huts but
members are using the toilet everyday and have a clean and hygienic toilet at their
have no complain about it house

 Impact Assessment
Impacts on primary target group of Janakalyan

The primary target groups of Janakalyan are facing few rehabilitation specific issues & few rehabilitation
generic issues. While the fight for the rights of these rehabilitation specific issues commenced soon after
the inception of Janakalyan but the results are not as tangible as that of rehabilitation generic issues. The
generic issues like employment generation, livelihood security, women empowerment, education, road
and transport, etc. have been dealt in very systematically and today there has been tangible result.

However, the efforts initiated on the rehabilitation specific issues in 1997 by birth of Janakalyan. These
issues have direct impacts on the primary target group of Janakalyan. The present status of these fights is–
1) Citizenship: These displaced families have offered their ancestral properties to Pakistan (now
Bangladesh) for freedom to India. Government of India has the moral responsibility to rehabilitate
them in India as per the agreement during partition of the country. Years of advocacy by Janakalyan
at Central Government level has yielded result by passing CAA 2019 (Citizenship Amendment Act,
2019) by both the houses of Parliament.
2) Mother Tongue Education: After more than 2-decades of continuous effort by Janakalyan and the
communities, Government of Karnataka has issued an order vide ED 34 PMC 2012 dated 31.12.2012
whereby the displaced families can study Bengali as SECOND
language in 8 schools of Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project.
However, Government has yet not recruited the permanent
teachers in these schools to teach Bengali except guest teachers.
More than 3000 students are now studying their mother tongue as
a constitutional right. Several rounds of meeting with education
secretariat and ministry have been during the year and expecting a
good news in the year to come.
3) Land Rights: Freedom at the cost of the ancestral properties of these teaming millions made them
victim of partition; though Government of India compensated
the loss by providing 4-5 acres of land in India but yet the
entitlement is not transferred to them. Long battle of several
years by Janakalyan, which continues during the current year
also, convinced the government machineries and finally the
process initiated by Government of Karnataka to complete the
survey and prepare sketch for each land.
4) Scheduled Caste reservation: Majority of the communities
rehabilitated in Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project are from Namasudra, Pod/Poundra & Rajbanshi
communities. Years of efforts of Janakalyan succeeded to convince the Government of Karnataka to
resolve in the cabinet to propose the issue to Government of India. Accordingly, Dr B R Ambedkar
Research Institute was assigned the task of preparing the socio-anthropological report. But, at this
stage some community leaders played dirty politics and thus Janakalyan was not involved in proposal
preparation. As a result, the report submitted to Government of India returned the proposal to
Government of Karnataka stating that these communities are not eligible for reservation as per the
information submitted in proposal. Janakalyan has again initiated the efforts to rectify the report and
resubmit to Government of India. Many rounds of meeting with the honorable Minister for Social
Welfare, Government of Karnataka has taken place and the process initiated by Dr B R Ambedkar
Research Institute to rectify the report.
5) Revenue Village: The process has also been initiated by Janakalyan to convert these RH Camps as
revenue village and name them as Mahaveer Nagar (R H Colony No.1), Sarvagnapura (R H Colony
No.2), Ravindranagar (R H Colony No.3), Vivekanagar ((R H Colony No.4) and Ramakrishnapalli (R
H Colony No.5).

Ideas in Incubation
Journey ahead to Janakalyan – support sought from donor communities
Janakalyan, in partnership with many kindhearted donors from within the country as well as from foreign sources,
has done tremendous job in bringing changes into the lives and livelihoods of its target communities for all these 23
years. However, there is a long journey ahead to accomplish its vision & mission for which we seek the support
from all our stakeholders in more generous ways than in past.
Replication of Proven Model: The proven models of Janakalyan like Water Banks for livelihood improvement of
small and marginal farmers, Wage Earners (WE) Groups, Agriculture Interest Groups (AIG), Neighbor Hood
Groups (NHG), GNAN (Garibi Nirmoolan Avartan Nidhi), ARP (Accelerated Reading Program), 3R (Reading,
wRiting & aRithmatic), decentralized rural education model, etc. need to be replicated / scaled up in the years to
come.
Displaced Community Issues: Issues related to displaced communities, the victims of partition, in India are many
and peculiar which demands special qualities to understand and address. Janakalyan began its development journey
through these communities and acquired expertise in handling their issues. There is a great demand for bringing all
refugees of India under a common umbrella and Janakalyan believes that it is the single agency in India which can
strategically address their valid issues in due course of time. The issues includes citizenship to those deprived, land

More than 2 Decades in the service of mankind
23rd year (2019-20) was a year of National Integration. Passing of Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 provided

Year of

soil but due to a political reason, their nationality was taken away for years and they were living the life of
illegal immigrants in their own mother land. Government of India has given back the citizens status by passing
historic CAA, 2019. It was celebrated by our primary target groups in a grand way.

22nd year (2018-19) was a year of community contribution. Lack of resources from the formal funding

resource from government, CSR, donors and foreign sources but yielded no result. However, the prime project
on

of Janakalyan, i.e. creation of water banks did not stop for the want of funds from the donors. The farmers
themselves came forward to create many water banks with their own contribution using our earth excavator.
21st year (2017-18) of www.jankalyana.org confined most of interventions to vulnerable communities like
Year of legal

muslims women, refugees rights, etc. and most of its time has to be spent to legal battle which also reached to

Supreme Court in the case of Subodh Biswas and 53 others in the Silapathat case of Assam. The legal battle

initiated for refugee rights in terms citizenship, mother tongue education, land rights, etc. A case is filed in
Karnataka High Court also for eviction of illegal encroachment of public roads. Therefore, could not
concentrate on fundraising and the result was drastic drop in resources and thus activities.
20th year (2016-17) was fully meant for refugees. In addition, the government of India supported Nai Roshni –
leadership development of minority women, empowerment of leprosy affected communities continued during

the year. Although, there was a setback in terms of financial growth and accordingly the staff strength was also
trimmed out. However, meeting with high level dignitaries like Union Home Minister, Parliamentary Affairs
Minister, Former Chief Minister of Karnataka, several MPs, MLAs, IAS officers of topmost ranks continued
to obtain the citizenship rights, social reservation, land rights, mother language education rights, etc.
19th year (2015-16) was a meaningful year for the target groups of Janakalyan. We realized that the concepts,
Adoption

which have been in execution by Janakalyan, have been announced by Government of India. These are More

Year of

Crop Per Drop, Intensified Integrated Farming System (Bunch of Crops in Inch of land), Post-metric education
of adolescent girls (Beti Bachao Beti Padao), Rural Entrepreneurship Development (Skill Development), etc.
Therefore, the year is termed as Year of Adoption.
Janakalyan completed 18th year of operation in 2014-15! Whole efforts were concentrated in ensuring post-
metric education to rural children through its own institute to avoid child marriage / child labor. In addition,
Education

language education through government schools was another effort. Government of Karnataka recommended
to consider Bengali communities to consider as SC in Karnataka. In addition, the regular initiatives continued.
The year 2013-14 being 17th year of Janakalyan, it is termed as year of Paradigm Shift; shift is seen in

Janakalyan, entrepreneurship among leprosy affected beggars and many more. However, more time was also
spent for refugee rights during the year while more investment was on the education institute initiated by
Janakalyan. It has also integrated payment gateway for online donation.
The year 2012-13 is 16th year of Janakalyan existence! It was earmarked for fighting for the rights of its
primary target groups, the Bengali refugees. Accordingly, succeeded to ensure Bengali teaching in government

160th Birth Anniversary of Holy Mother Sarada. Government of Karnataka issued a gazette notification to
consider providing reservation to these Bengalis.
The year 2011-12 being 15th year of existence of Janakalyan, to make it meaningful it is declared as “Child

Gender Policy 2007, and Investment Policy 2011. Credibility Alliance accredited Janakalyan under desirable
norms of highest standard in governance, accountability and transparency. The new website designed with

intervention in Gadag district. Similarly, the other major initiative taken up during the year is towards online
fundraising through GiveIndia registration, accreditation by Credibility Alliance, affiliation to Bharat Welfare
Trust, lifetime renewal of 80G of IT Act, etc.
The year (2009-10) marked completion of 13 years in the sector of rural development; in its history of these 13

Raichur district during previous year but due to an emergency call of the nature in the operational area,
Janakalyan had to initiate disaster management activities in the flood affected villages of Sindhanur on
humanitarian ground. The intervention concentrated on ensuring rights of children and women in flood
affected villages and successfully implemented in 10 villages.
The year (2008-09) is the 12th year of operation in Raichur district and at this juncture Janakalyan board felt
Year of New

that Janakalyan needs to compress its activities in Raichur and move in some other area. It started trimming its
2008-09

staff-size from the beginning of the year as well as programs. Study in other districts of Karnataka as well as

research on potential donors started during the year. Janakalyan also done major surgeries to its operational
strategies, amended its byelaws, changed its board structure and composition and many more. To sum up, it
could be said that Janakalyan took new birth with new spirit.
The year (2007-08) is the year of expansion both in terms of area of operation as well as its role change.
Year of Expansion

UNICEF appointed Janakalyan as the nodal agency for its programs in Raichur district and the prestigious
national flagship program viz. Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) implementation through the NGOs was
2007-08

assigned to Janakalyan. Janakalyan implemented the TSC in 300 villages of all 5 taluks of Raichur district
through local NGOs. Janakalyan also participated in various national and international programs, activities,
meeting and workshops. The state level CRC convention was hosted by Janakalyan and represented Karnataka
in National level CRC convention. Janakalyan celebrated 10th Foundation Day on 12th January 2008 as mark
of 10 years of contribution to the society.
The year (2006-07) is the year of recognition wherein Janakalyan built a strong network with government as
well as non-government agencies. Government assigned many planning tasks to Janakalyan in the district such

Janakalyan was appreciated in the state level meetings by Sri Srinivas Murthy, the Principal Secretary of
RDPR in Hotel Atria, Bangalore. Janakalyan was also invited to train the NGOs of Mandya district in
preparation of perspective plans for Suvarna Gramodaya. In the district also, it could build an image and for
any developmental initiatives, Janakalyan is provided with the first opportunity. Janakalyan has developed a
corpus during this year. Janakalyan also established a campus of its own.
The year 2005-06 could be termed as year of HRD wherein Janakalyan had to recruit more than 150 staffs at
2005-06

various cadres and train them in various sectors to carry out the activities undertaken in the district. The staffs

are recruited in each and every village of the Sindhanur block. Similarly the project inflow was also very high
and many activities had to be implemented in parallel.
The 9th year (2004-05) is recorded as the year for diversification. Janakalyan has expanded its area of

The year 2003-04 is the year of confidence building. An organization working with all sections of society as

target. Looking to our professional management, dedicated team of human resource and judicious use of
financial resources another two big projects JSYS and HIVOS were added in our list. We also see considerable
change in conditions of our target community resulting because they have started believing in themselves and
our propositions.

JANAKALYAN: A Team Committed to People’s Empowerment 21

 2002-03 The year 2002-03 is the year for sustainability of the organization. Sustainability of an Organization is nothing
Year of
Sustainability
but having a dedicated professional team of Human Resource and a constant flow of Financial Resources.
Towards this, Janakalyan put all the effort to have a competent team by recruiting a set of fresh graduates
because they could be tuned according to the vision and mission of Janakalyan. Many efforts were put to see
that the programs as well as the organization become sustainable. Janakalyan received FCRA and exemption
under section 12A of IT Act, 1961. We received first foreign grant for Cotton Based Integrated Farming
System development program. Janakalyan got lot of publicity during the year through NABARD supported
Jana-Udyog program. The area of operation was extended to outside the block as well as district. The
administrative Office was established at Marutinagar, Jawalgera.
The year 2001-2002 is the year of transformation. After proper training of the top management, it realized that
Professionalization

till date Janakalyan was functioning without proper planning. Planning Meeting was introduced for the first
time in the organization to organize the activities in a systematic way after assessing the needs of the
2001-02
Year of

community in a participatory way. The organization also gave emphasis on professionalizing the approach by
recruiting the qualified employees like B.V.Sc., M.Tech., MSW, M.Com., MA graduates. A detailed Service
Rules for Janakalyan was also adopted during the year. A few sets of innovative programs also got introduced
during the year. The year is termed as Mass Mobilization Year because lot of efforts was put to organize the
community in demanding their rights from the concerned authorities.
The year 2000-01 is an important year for Janakalyan wherein the top management of the organization
undergone various training at renown Institutes. Therefore, the same programs were continued during the year
Year of Self

without much difference. However, the major step initiated during the year was formation of a Cluster Level
Initiative
2000-01

Federation of SHGs and starting a Milk Marketing Center at Sindhanur through this Federation. Kitchen
Garden Program was another innovative program to recycle the water to grow vegetable in the house-yard.
Most of the activities / programs got hindered during this year due to improper management as the staffs were
deputed for higher studies. However, a research study was undertaken during the year in the Rehabilitation
Project by the staff. The area of operation got extended to outside Rehabilitation Project.
The year 1999-2000 could be termed as Capacity Building Year for Janakalyan. Maximum effort was put to
train the staff of Janakalyan at various NGOs and Institutions through training and exposure. Awareness
Year of Capacity

generation, training and exposure for the community (woman & farmers), relation building with local officers,
etc. were the major activities during the year. Fund flow also started from this year. Women Development &
Building
1999-00

Empowerment Program, Mahila Arthika Swavalambane Yojana, Participatory Technology Development in

Cotton, Dairy Development Program, and Child Labor Elimination Program were the programs of the year.
The important innovation of Janakalyan was Sansar Pathshala, Kishori Vikash Program, Shree Shakthi Sabha
and Sangha Darshini Samittee. The fourth mata i.e Ganga Mata was added to the objective upon suggesting it
by most of the distinguished visitors to Janakalyan.
Year 1998 began with new hopes. The concept of raising income level of the farmer was added with land

reclamation (soil fertility / health management and preserving it for the generations to come). It also worked
out for subsidiary sources of income for these communities and found animal husbandry as a viable option;

started promoting the same along with agriculture. By the end of the year it realized that raising the income
level through its different approaches would not serve the purpose if proper mechanism is not adopted to save
the earned income; thus, started promoting Self Help Groups of men and women. And thus the objective of
Janakalyan was formulated as “to serve 3 holy mothers i.e. Manavi Mata, Bhoo Mata & Go Mata”. It also
started working with children, keeping education as the focal point through ASHA & Child Labor Schools.
Janakalyan took birth in July 1997 with an objective to assist the refugees & repatriates to raise their income
level through intervention in the field of agriculture. It started working with farming communities with its own

resources. The strategy adopted to work with these peasant communities was ‘awareness generation’ among
the mass about the mistakes that they have already done and the ways to rectify it. Training & exposure were 2
tools adopted to convince these farmers about the proposition that Janakalyan was propagating about organic
farming.
