Annual Report 2012-13
From Director’s Desk
It indeed brings great pleasure to me to present the 16th Annual Report of Janakalyan
on its 17th Foundation Day! The year 2012-13 would be written on golden letters as 2
important stones were unveiled during the year as mark of successes! The 8 th January
2013 was observed as 1st Annual Day of Maa Sarada Pre University College on the eve
of 160th Birth Anniversary of Holy Mother and the new building of the institute was
opened by Swami Muktidananda Maharaj, President of Ramakrishna Ashrama, Mysore
in the holy pres ence of Swami Jnanananda Maharaj of Ramakrishna Ashrama,
Natarama Palli, Tamil Nadu and other distinguished guests. The stone erected on this
occasion will tell the tale of the building throughout its life.
1st March 2013 was another important day in the history of the Bengali refugees
resettled in Karnataka! The delegates, writers, poets, intellectuals, local leaders and
government officers together celebrated “Matribhasha Vijay Divas” and unveiled the
“Matribhasha Vijay Stambh” as mark of victory of establishing Bengali as second
language in government schools. The stone will tell the tal e of the efforts put to provide
the mother tongue to the future generations of Bengali refugees in Karnataka; they will
now have an opportunity to learn their mother tongue!
26th March 2013 is another most important day in the history of Bengali refugees in
Karnatak a as Government of Karnataka has issued a Gazette Notification (SWD 157 SAD
2009) to constitute a high level committee chaired by Additional Chief Secretary of
Karnatak a and 3 commissioners of highest rank; the committee is to recommend the
points to be considered in order to issue caste certificate to the Namasudra
communities.
Government of Karnataka has also issued several other orders and instructions for
voting rights, ration card, l and rights and other issues of these refugees during the year.
Therefore, Janakalyan has termed the year as “Fi ght for Rights ” and dedicated it to the
primary target groups of Janakalyan.
However, it is worth mentioning here that the year was equally bad in terms of funding
in the history of Janakalyan. It had to borrow huge loan to complete the college
building after investing all its savings/corpus for the same. Further, the recurring
expenses of the college itself were several times more than the fees that the student
paid. When nobody came forward for investing in the college, I had to put my whole
life’s savings in to it but still had a credit in lakhs. I really don’t know how to repay this
loan?
It would be wrong on my part if I don’t put on record few names who made it possible
to complete the huge project of college building; they are the contractor Sri Tarun
Mondal, Sri Jeetendra of Mahendra Hardware, Sri Gautam of Anand Electricals, Md Syed
Mittimani of Welding Shop and Sri Gorachand Carpenter.
Finally, I must tank the selfless Governing Board, the dedicated team of professionals,
the supportive donors and more important the target groups of Janakalyan, who made
Janakalyan to survive for all these 16 years! We will prove our existence in days to come!

What Next?
Journey ahead to Janakalyan
Lots have been achieved during the last 16 years of development journey of Janakalyan with the support
of our esteemed donors and cooperation of the target communities; however, there is long way to go to
make these communities empowered and self reliant!
Janakalyan plans few important interventions in the days to come which are briefed below-
1) Decentralized Education: In ancient days, the gurukul education system prevailed wherein the
students used to go to Ashram (usually located in neighborhood of villages) to gain knowledge and
experience from the nature. But in present days, the education centers are concentrated in urban
cities beyond the reach of rural children. It is therefore the gap between urban India and rural
Bharat is increasing day by day. Janakalyan proposes to reverse the present trend and draw the
attention of urban children to the rural areas by creating state of art education centre in rural areas.
This will not only provide practical experience to the students but also the fresh environment for
their growth. In addition, the rural children will have the access to the education of equal standard.
2) Water Bank: Water is life and assured water to the farming community can ensure food security the
whole nation. We have enough water but lack in storage structures. We make way to water when
have in excess but blame God or Government in scarcity. Janakalyan plans to create Water Bank for
each farm to harvest each drop of water and make effective use of it. Janakalyan urges the
community, government and developmental agencies to ensure that each farmer creates ‘Water
Bank’ for his child than a house.
3) National Alliance: Janakalyan team has enough expertise in addressing the issues of refugees and
managing natural resources for livelihood improvement, especially in the tail ends of irrigation
projects in India. Janakalyan plans to deploy its expertise in similar contexts all over the country
through a national alliance of likeminded agencies and communities.
4) Human Resource for Rural Development: There are unknown numbers of institutions in the country
who are creating human resources; but none of them are oriented to work in rural areas having no
or little infrastructures. Even the person from rural areas starts job hunting in urban cities.
Janakalyan wishes to establish a Human Resource Development Centre where the person would be
trained in rural development and oriented / motivated / brainwashed to work in rural areas with
deprived communities.
The estimated cost of these proposed interventions are tabulated below-
Sl. No. Proposed Project Period (years) Amount (INR)
1 Decentralized Education 6 years 21,00,00,000
2 Water Bank 7 years 18,00,00,000
3 National Alliance 5 years 5,00,00,000
4 Human Resource for Rural Development 10 years 10,00,00,000
Total fund requirement 54,00,00,000
Janakalyan has a dedicated team to transfer your resources to the deserving groups and needs about Rs.54
crores to accomplish the above targets. We urge for your generous support ONLINE and/or reques t you to
depos it the same in our State Bank of India account No.30168833165 having IFSC SBIN0007861 in favor of

Footsteps of Janakalyan
Year of Inception
Janakalyan took birth in July 1997 with an objective to assist the refugees & repatriates to raise their income
1997-98
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.
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.
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 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 & 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,
