Building a Better Future — committed to communities | 8 | Dalmia Bharat Group Foundation This report provides highlights of the project initiatives based on document review, conversations conducted with DBSIL officials including Sitapur sugar factory staff involved in the project and field interviews with beneficiaries. Dalmia Bharat Sugar and Industries Ltd. has engaged Society for All Round Development (SARD) for the social initiative under the project around Sitapur sugar factory.This report provides glimpses of various educational, livelihood and health interventions under the project. The educational initiative is optimized for the following assumptions: The corporate sector along with NGO partnership (with SARD) has a set of competencies that „ „ can help improve the delivery of educational services. Mechanisms are in place to support partnership-based approaches to educational quality „ „ improvement. Over the many years, educational system in the country has made impressive gains in expanding educational access. Nevertheless, absolute performance on key performance indicators is still low; much remains to be done to achieve ambitious goals related to quality, coverage and equity. For example, thenumberofteachershasnotkept pace with increased enrollment, and the best trained teachers usually end up in private schools in urban areas. Furthermore, there is still a significant gap between children who enroll and those who actually attend school. High repetition rates indicate that many studentsarenotmeetingcurricular expectations.

- 24. Building a Better Future — committed to communities | 22 | Dalmia Bharat Group Foundation Vocational Skill Enabling youth to acquire vocational skills – While vocational training programmes do exist, gaining access to these programmes is a significant obstacle for youth, among those who obtained training, moreover unlikely to obtain training in marketable skills. Mechanisms must be developed that provide opportunities for youth to acquire skills for which there is an established demand and opportunities. The initiative taken-up by the project through vocational courses is a step to bridge this gap. The project’s contribution to the community and in particular youth is the creation of job opportunities, directly or indirectly, through vocational skills. The basis for vocational and skill development courses is that it contributes and adds value to social development through advancement of the quality of living for the community. The aim is to help the youth to develop skills that are economically viable and has job opportunities and in many cases pave way for young entrepreneurs.

Building a Better Future — committed to communities | 30 | Dalmia Bharat Group Foundation Health The health camp approach aims to address the two aspects - curative and preventive - of primary health care. The curative aspect consists of providing a primary health check-up by ANM/AWW. The preventive part includes starting various awareness programs among the villagers on a variety of topics like pre- and post- natal care, reproductive child health, and prevention of common diseases. Camp Objectives To provide medical service and consultation to the villagers at their doorstep; „ „ To provide quality medicines, and nutrition supplements; „ „ To increase awareness of basic hygiene and preventative health care; „ „ To improve relationships between the community and public health system; „ „
- 33. | 31 | Building a Better Future — committed to communities Dalmia Bharat Group Foundation Conducting the Camps Health camps are generally held in a village school. The community is consulted about the camp through a variety of routes, including men's groups, Panchayats (local self government), school teachers and specially convened public meetings; all of these groups agree for holding the camps in the village. The camp is publicised through peer educators, health workers and group meetings, and is described as a reproductive health check-up, with free treatment if necessary. Members of the Village Organizations (VOs) in association with project team announce the date of the medical camps to the community weeks in advance. Project organizer takes on the responsibility of arranging the General Practitioner and Physician for the camp. Project volunteers, go to the project villages four days in advance to assess the total number of patients expected to attend the camp and also to finalize all arrangements required to conduct the camp. Early morning on the day of the health camp ANM, AWW and volunteers reach the village. The VO members are given the blank “Case Papers” in time so that they can record the names, personal data and health status of the villagers in advance. At 10.30 a.m. the villagers assemble outside the Government Primary School sitting systematically as instructed.
- 34. Building a Better Future — committed to communities | 32 | Dalmia Bharat Group Foundation As their names are called out from the papers, they check in with the organizers and proceed to the ANM/AWW seated outside the classrooms. By 2:30 p.m., all the villagers, especially children, lactating and pregnant mothers are examined and prescribed with necessary treatments. Mothers and children who require further treatment are given referral note for treatment. Project volunteers and village organizers use the camp as an opportunity to raise awareness on basic medical issues, hygienic and unhygienic behaviors, and preventive health care.The response of villagers are positive to the discussion and express their appreciation that efforts are being made to bring attention to such issues. It is also a chance for AWW/ANM to collect data on the villages and about the main concerns of the people in that area. Project hopes to continue this work to reach the people who still need access to other basic necessities of life.
