NAYA SAWERA VIKAS KENDRA
A step towards rights
ORGANISATIONAL INFORMATION
- Brief Background of the organization:
Naya Sawera Vikas Kendra (NSVK) is a non-governmental organization working among Tribal and Dalit communities in Giridih, Bokaro, Dhanbad, Gumla, Palamu, Koderma and Hazaribagh districts of Jharkhand since 1999. It has since been addressing the problems and issues faced by the people, especially the tribal and poorer communities in rural areas. Its main strategy has been mobilising people in an organised manner by awareness building and advocacy through a land rights campaign. It has been raising other issues of social relevance especially those related to empowerment of women and livelihood security for the poor through various forums and platforms at state level.
It has been working at organisation building to capacitate, inspire and empower rural communities to understand their rights and struggle for community control over local natural resources that are the lifelines for their livelihood and very survival. At the grassroots the interests and strategies of the people have merged with the community-based efforts are carried out under this identity. This really helps people identify themselves as proper stakeholders and ‘owners’ of the rights and justice movement and developmental activities.
Since its inception, NSVK started with about 35 villages in Giridih, Koderma and Hazaribagh. Attracted by its work in these districts organisations and community leaders from five other districts invited them to work in Bokaro, Dhanbad, Gumla, Palamu and Chatra districts. NSVK is now in a position to upscale its activities of people’s rights, justice and development issues in over 180 villages in eight Districts. Up to this point in time land issues and problems had almost become a non-issue and did not figure on the agenda and manifestos of the government, political parties and the non-government organisation sectors. And these sustained local to State level campaigns on land rights and women’s empowerment has helped rejuvenate the issues of land entitlement, alienation and utilization and drawn all round attention of the media and civil society as well.
- Organisational Structure
The organization has a Governing Board of 7 members, who represent experienced persons from different sectors including government and nongovernmental organizations. The Board meets every quarter. They review the physical and financial progress of the programmes implemented by the organization and provide valuable inputs. The projects and activities undertaken by the Society are presented before the Board. The organisation has an Executive Committee of 3 members drawn from the Governing Board. This committee is more closely involved in the monitoring of project and other activities of the Society. The Secretary is the official head of the organisation. He is assisted by Programme and Specialist staff in the implementation of various projects in different parts of the state, supported by a team of administrative staff.
The community units of the organisation continue to gain confidence and strength, and attract others to the land and livelihood rights campaign through examples of achievement. Yet, one gnawing problem continues to bother every women, man and child in rural communities. And that is the question of how to make sustainable, substantial and dignified living from agriculture and forests rather than barely surviving at subsistence levels. Livelihood security in the rural context has become a tremendous challenge because of natural resources of soil, water; vegetation and biological life are already in degraded conditions of varying degree mainly from irrational exploitation.
Communities at the grassroots are not only aware and concerned about the state of natural resources, but quite willing to utilise the strength of the organisation and their traditional knowledge and skills to protect, regenerate and enhance local eco-systems when they receive encouragement and support in that direction. This in practical terms means communities working on the land with rational and effectively designed plans to secure their own means of livelihood while conserving and multiplying resources. More concentrated, concretised and properly designed processes are now required to consolidate and strengthen the grassroots base to build an effective people’s movement. And the task of building an all round capacity of workers, cadre and village leadership along pragmatic Gandhian lines is primary and essential.
