PROLOGUE
Philosopher Descartes said “Cogito ergo sum”- I think therefore I exist. This means everyone who meaningfully
exists is ready to explore new options. That is how science was born. It is the same law of questioning that is the
basis for the relevance of NGO’s.
No organisations can be static, very much so of voluntary organisations engaged in community mobilisation.
Nations and empires have collapsed due to stagnation of ideas and failure to respond to emerging challenges.
A responsible NGO has to consistently enquire into the life situations of the people. There have been globally
accepted paradigm shifts in the development sector since the last fifty years. We have come a long way from
relief/charity hand holding to the current trend of sustainable development. There has also been shift from
isolated approaches to integrated approach, from micro intervention to macro level intervention. As for diagnosis
of people’s concern we have come to the stage of participatory learning approach when a community goes for
collective, self reflective, critical and collaborative enquiry into the life situation of communities.
At the global level there are forces with vested interests at work to thwart the aspirations of the dreams of the
marginalised.
It is in this complex back drop that QSSS was called to put in place a perspective plan for the diocese of Quilon.
This was a prolonged exercise absorbing the learning of people and blend them with the information downloaded
from formal researches and development science principles in place. We have made use of scientific tools for
enquiry and perspective planning. The praxis approach has integrated the aspirations of people and the objectives
set forth by the organisation with the mature learning of people.
With profound humility I am presenting this diocesan perspective plan for forward linkages. The options ahead
have been listed as also the policy guidelines. Yet this is just a beginning and has to be ratified by our stake holders.
I am sure Quilon diocese will be able to discern the signs of the time and journey with the people towards a re-
enacted exodus.

1. INTRODUCTION
Quilon Social Service Society is the official agency of the Diocese of Quilon to announce the good news of the
Kingdom of God and to give expression to the mission of the local Church to “give sight to the blind, hearing to
the deaf, voice to the dumb “, place the despised in the mainstream of society and “to proclaim freedom to the
captives.” QSSS has been assigned to promote and co-ordinate programmes for the emancipation and upliftment
of the weaker sections, particularly the socially challenged and those discriminated against on the grounds of
gender caste and creed.
Registered as a Charitable Society in 1960, Q.S.S.S in the initial stage concentrated on welfare programmes and
relief operations. In the mid 70s Q.S.S.S changed its focus to vocational training, skills development, employment
generating programmes and integrated development of the people through appropriate interventions.
Bishop Jerome M Fernandez the first native bishop of the diocese of Quilon who founded the Society dreamt of
the exodus of the fisher community to a new future enjoying all the amenities of modern civilization.
Vision, Mission and Objectives of the Society has recently been revised as follows to keep in pace with globally
accepted standards and to represent the concerns of our reference groups:
1.a VISION
QSSS envisages prevalence of a just and virtuous social order deep set in humanness where every human being
attains highest possible levels of well being with equity in the social capital.
1.b MISSION
To strive for the liberation of deprived sections of society from the exploitative conditions prevailing and to bring
about a desirable situation where they will be enabled to exercise control over the means of production and
market with sense of equity, justice, and fellowship ensuring in the emancipation of women from a discriminatory
system and regenerative management of natural resources, with provision for environmental protection and
sustainable, participatory and integral development of the people entrusted to our care, thereby enhancing the
establishment of an egalitarian society.
1.c FOCUS GROUPS
The chief focus groups of QSSS consist of marine fishermen in the coastal villages of Kollam district, inland
fishermen who live on the banks of Ashtamudi Lake in Kollam district and on the basins of rivers- Achankovil
and Pampa and backwaters of Alappuzha district. Other groups that engage the attention of the society are coir
workers, cashew processing workers, urban slum dwellers and the un-organised workers.

Diocesan Perspective Planning
In this period QSSS moved from isolated ventures to integrated approaches, from mere welfare and charity
mode to globally approved development mode, from micro projects to macro planning and mega projects,
from parish centered to a village centered approach, from priest centred to people centred approach and last
from projects to process or movements of the people.
IHDP was implemented in two phases, self-employment, agriculture along with housing, water and sanitation
formed the components of investment
QSSS succeeded in enhancing resource mobilisation by people through its small savings scheme and in effective
linkages with financing institutions and in availing Govt subsidy.
QSSS could become a people’s movement with the emergence of local units. In the first phase major focus
was on vulnerable groups like inland fishermen and the dalits (now in Punalur diocese). The programmes were
geared to dovetail with the Govt. sponsored IRDP. This phase was from the year 1981 to 1985.
The second phase of IHDP (1985 - 1990) concentrated mainly on marine fishermen one of the most
marginalised groups. Modernisation of fishing methods through technology transfer was a major brake through.
Organisation of sea fishermen for collective bargaining through the establishment of common fish marketing
centers and Fishermen Sangam resulted in sea changes in the coastal belt of Kollam.
Linkages with financing institutions opened the possibility of an end to indebtedness to middlemen and
moneylenders.
3rd Milestone-Women empowerment/community based people’s organisation-1990-2000:
QSSS moved to harness the women power first by forming women’s credit unions and second by bringing
the women to mainstreams of development. Special attention was given to fish vending women whose social
status is a matter of concern for the Diocese as well as QSSS
4th Milestone-2000-2004 Moving toward Self Help Groups
Keeping pace with the global stride of people’s development through Self Help Groups QSSS moved to re-
organise its large army of members of credit unions into Self Help Groups. The journey is continuing and with
success. EDP has since joined the grand wagon.
5th Milestone – 2004 TSUNAMI and after
Tsunami came as a great shock and we were least prepared to meet a disaster of so great a magnitude. But all
the same QSSS emerged as a major player in relief and rehabilitation leading to resilience building. Association
with international organisations capacitated the Organisation and enabled the Organisation to branch out to fresh
pastures.

recycling of natural resources (E.g. Rain Water Harvesting), appropriate waste management, ensuring healthy
habitat and surroundings, good sanitation practices. Fish culture and research in maintaining fish resources and
other natural sources occupy our priorities.
Having faced one of the greatest disasters in recent human history in the form of Tsunami and with the agonizing
feel of serial high tide disasters and floods , we stand committed to “Disaster Preparedness “ and building resilient
communities as a mass movement.
Sector 6 Family and Health:
Accepting the reality that our target groups do not enjoy optimum health standards, we have a definite commitment
to build a healthy community. Our emphasis is on health education, instruction on preventive health care practices,
information on health-oriented diet, encouraging home garden. We want to intervene in encouraging indigenous
health care. It is also necessary to arrange early detection of serious ailments and arrange treatment. It has become
very important to fight against increasing trend to alcohol and drug abuse and arrange massive education on the
evils of drinking. Mental health, hitherto neglected must be given due importance including counselling to all
sections.
Sector 7 Basic Human Infrastructure Development:
Shelter as a basic human right and the base entry point for human development cannot evade our attention. We
believe in promoting innovative technology, which will use locally available materials, which should also be cost
efficient. Intervention in repairs and maintenance of house will go a long way in assisting the role of homeless.

7. LEARNING’S
We have to redefine our concepts about our target group. They are not objects of social work but our
partners in the campaign for poverty eradication. They are co-workers and we have to dialogue with them to
find their aspirations and dreams. We are not to impose concepts on them but work out with them a blue
print for development.
People don’t want to be called poor, depressed, and backward, marginalized. They are loaded jargon, which
they have come to hate. So we found it better to speak of deprivation.
♦ There is resource deprivation – lack of capital
♦ There are service deprivations – basic facilities like habitat, health education
♦ We can also speak of access deprivation – access to natural sources – water, fish sources.
♦ There is deprivation of know – how – technological know how which has become the monopoly
of only a few.
♦ We can think of voice deprivation – inability to articulate legitimate rights and to participate in
decision – making – both economic and political that influences their lives.
♦ Last there is deprivation consequent to gender inequalities.
Our discussion pointed out that poverty or deprivation must be tackled by economic interventions, political
pressure, social movements and spiritual dynamics and by positive action by (religion) the local church –
parishes as they play a pivotal role in the project area.
Development interventions must be areas centered, ecologically viable and culturally appreciable, socially
acceptable.
Development interventions must be a continuity of the previous interventions, evaluating the performance
(SWOT analysis) of the previous projects and with due analysis and study of the previous projects.
The present development initiatives must not be isolated efforts but must be part of an integrated project
with long-term vision and overall objectives and serials of a mega process.
All development initiatives must be sustainable. There must be an in built component for the project to be
functional in the development even after the interveners retreat and responsibility shouldered by partners
(beneficiaries to carry on with the project)
There must be a “trickle down” mechanism on the project so that the benefits flow down to the sections
more deprived and outside the project purview from the involvements and interventions.
Development initiative must itself be a learning process for the QSSS and the partners (beneficiaries). A praxis
approach is necessary {do and learn}.
There must be provision for course corrections and hence there must be considerable level of flexibility for
QSSS to respond to changing situations.
The development initiative must be an affirmation towards a just society and denouncement of those who
perpetuate injustice and those from whom emancipation is sought.
Linkage with the existing Govt. schemes should be taken care of.
Maximum support from established financing institutions must be explored and efforts should be made to
shift gradually to a village banking system made operational by our partners.
Planning, implementation and monitoring of the projects and programmers should be professionally conducted.
Project implementation should bestow values of co-operation, sharing and fellowship with due respect to
principle of subsidiary.

CONCLUSION
The goal of any Perspective Plan is to guide towards achievement of a better quality of human life for the people we commit
ourselves to. It has to be updated from time to time so as to address new issues. Pope Benedict XVI has summoned us to
rekindle the flames of Hope instilled in human hearts by the Holy Spirit which in turn ignites the aspiration of the poor whose
grieves and dreams are our too.
