A BRIEF ABOUT MANTHAN –

Manthan is organization based in rural area. It was registered on 22nd August,Prior to which it was

a field centre for the Social Work and Research Centre (SWRC) at Barefoot College, Tilonia.

Manthan’s main center is nearly 80kms away from Ajmer, the village is known as Kotri. It is in the

northern part of Ajmer district, which is bounded by Nagaur district and 6 other villages in Dhaniya

of Dudu block in Jaipur district. Presently, there are 56 villages in total, in which the organization is

operating its various programs.

Most of the work of the organization is based near the salt lake and deserts. While working in these

two areas it gives an idea that due saline water in these areas the people living there have to depend

completely on the rain water. The main occupation of people living there is either farming or animal

husbandry, the people are highly dependent in rainfall, if there is heavy rainfall the farm and the

animals get enough food and water and if it is not there it turns out to be a huge loss for the people

who are only dependent on that, this also leads to a downfall in the economic condition of the

people living there. Ever since the government scheme like MGNREGA had come and the water

sheds were made in these areas by Manthan people have got some labor work there and that

helped to stop them from migrating, which lead to save them from being homeless, and also helping

them to earn some wages for their livelihood.

Many people in village are still unaware of education because of which they are very far from the

basic understanding of the society and the rights that they have as a citizen. Manthan works in grass

root level to with the people living in these communities to help gain more knowledge and build

their capacity socially and economically. And in terms of doing that Manthan is working on the main

areas which can be sustainable and more effective for the people. And below the table shows the

project that Manthan is working toward.

EDUCATION

Night School

In the village context, especially in poor

households due to the financial burdens the

children stay back at home during daytime

grazing the livestock, supporting their

families with the household chores

including taking care of siblings. In order to

integrate these children with mainstream

education Manthan has started 6 night

schools across 5 villages where 163 students

are receiving education, of which 15

students have been admitted to government

schools the previous year.

Apart from the conventional forms of education the students are made aware of the most relevant

issues on agriculture, cattle rearing, environment, health, politics and social issues like child marriage,

dowry, untouchability, inequality and superstitions. Through the medium of Children’s Parliament the

students gain insights on the powers exercised by an individual as a citizen. This makes children

aware of their constitutional rights and duties.

Crèche

In the village there are women belonging

to marginalised communities who go out

for work to improve their poor economic

conditions and as a result they are unable

to take care of their children.They gofor

work to earn so that they can feed their

families,this results in ignorance of the

nutrition intake of their children due to

which they tend to suffer from

malnutrition. Looking into the problems faced by these womenManthan came up with the

idea of starting up Balwadi centre across 8 villages.At present 225 children are being taken

care of at the Balwadi centres. “A Healthy Child becomes a Healthy Citizen” and in this

regard various activities are undertaken as to achieve the following:

➢ Taking care of the health and hygiene of the children

➢ Intake of nutritious food

➢ Health check-ups for children

➢ Timely Vaccinations

➢ Reduce Infant Mortality Rates (IMR)

➢ Meetings with mothers and pregnant women

➢ Preparing the children for primary education

➢ To mainstream girls into education who accompany the children to Balwadi centres.

➢ Admit students to primary schools

➢ Training of the care givers and regular meetings are held with them.

In villages it is important to take care of pregnant women, vaccinate the children and

ensuresafe deliveries so that they become healthy citizens in the future and for this it is

necessary to take care of women

during their pregnancy period by

intake of nutritious food,vaccines

and vitamin supplements.Pregnant women and their children are under their supervision

of the mid-wives because they have gained knowledge through their experiences over the

years.These women have faith in the mid-wives because of which they pay heed to the

words of the mid-wives regarding their health and well-being.Manthan therefore works

with 4 mid-wives in 4 different villages to promote health.

➢ Healthy Motherhood

➢ Taking care of pregnant women,vaccination of children and ensuring safe

deliveries

➢ Family welfare programmes

➢ Participation in the programmes conducted on vaccination days

WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

Manthanin its target villages started the watershed management programmes keeping in

mind the issues of water salinity and the decreasing groundwater level.As part of this

initiative 24 structures including

ponds,anicuts, naadi ,dams,kundwere

built.The farmers of the village along with

the cattle herders are confronted with the

problem of unavailability of sweet water.In

the past, the sweet water received during

rains used to flow into the SambharLake

which turns saline.The objective of this

programme was to collect the rain water in

the different structures that were constructed to ensure sweet water availability

throughout the year.

Watershed committee: This year a meeting was held which comprised of 10 watershed

committees where 150 members took part and discussed the following points:-

➢ To take care of the Ponds,naadi,anicutsand dams ensuring their security.

➢ To conserve the trees planted around the structures

➢ Meeting of the Gram Panchayat with government officials regarding proposal of

construction of new structures.

➢ During the Gram Sabha a proposal on strengthening the barricades of the

structures was put forwarded.

➢ To include construction of the watershed structures under MGNREGA.

➢ Discussion on the future benefits of the farmers and how it can be maximised.

➢ Construction of handpumps and tubewells wherever the ground water level has

increased.

➢ Since there has been an increase in the availability of fresh water it was discussed

that this water also be used to plant trees in and around the villages.

Meetings with the farmers: This year meetings and discussions were held with 90

farmers in 8 villages and the below given are the points that were focused:-

➢ Recharge of water due to rains lead to decrease in water salinity and increase in

ground water level causing the farmers to sell their lands which now cost a

fortune. These farmers were convinced to not sell their lands out of greed.

➢ Along with the kharif crops,rabi crops should also be grown and develop grazing

grounds that would bring quality to the milk produced by the cattle.

➢ Encouraged the villagers to grow vegetables along with the crops in order to meet

the need of the household as well as sell them in the nearby villages which would

also add on to their income.

➢ Use technologies like sprinklers and drip irrigation techniques in order to increase

the production using minimum use of water.

➢ Connect the new farmers to the nearby bank to issue Kisan cards so that they can

avail timely purchase of crop seeds and avail bore-well facilities.

➢ Knowledge of solar run pumps.

GRAM PANCHAYAT

To bring the watershed structures that have been constructed into the notice of the

government through Gram Panchayat so that there is more support from the government’s

side to widen the structures, so the it benefits the villages of Kotri, Sinodia, Jakolai, Ujoli,

Kishanpura, Nausal and Jhaag the structures have been widened through MGNREGA

which included digging channels for water to flow and 2-3 structures to be constructed as

model structures.

BACK TO BASICS

Manthan within its area of work focuses on poor and marginalised communities whose

economic conditions do not allow them to construct tanks to collect rainwater and are

forced to intake saline water which makes them vulnerable to health related problems.It

also works towards improving sanitation and hygiene among the people.People still live

in kaccha houses without any basic amenities and no electricity supply.Keeping in mind

these problems faced by the people Manthan has started this programme.

Within this programme after meetings and discussions with the women’s committee,

watershed committee and Education committee a consensus is reached regarding the

families who deserve to benefit facilities including houses,water tanks,toilets,solar run

lights and warm clothes.

Objectives-:

➢ To make fresh and clean water accessible

➢ To save time of carrying water by constructing tanks so that the time can be used to

perform other productive activities

➢ To Make girls education mandatory

➢ To increase the household income from cattle rearing

➢ Improving health and hygiene

➢ Establish strong bond with the marginalised communities.

➢ To grow kitchen gardens.

➢ Establish more social organizations

SOLAR ENERGY

In villages, households which do not

have electricity connection or have lost

it as they cannot afford to pay the bills

and due to this they begin to stay in the

fields where there is no supply of

electricity; Manthan along with CCF

has planted 21 solar units in 4 villages

of Ajmer district, Rajasthan. This

initiate has benefited 21 families

comprising of 127 members. Along

with this initiative, this year 2 village women have attained training in Solar Engineering

from Barefoot College, Thilonia which has imparted them skills to setup solar units in the

neighbouring villages as well as undertake its repair and maintenance.

DALIT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

There are divisions that exist

within the dalit community which

leads to the domination of the

lower caste by the upper caste this

hinders the unity of thedalit

community. Manthan is working

with the poor and the dalit

through its various programmes

by educating the youth and

creating awareness among them.

This has made the community realise the importance of establishing equality among them

by narrowing down the caste differences so that they can discuss and move forward

together by helping fellow beings in times of distress. This sense of pain and the thought

for change was there within the people for a long time but they wanted to be guided by a

force. Manthan became that force by holding meetings where 75 people from 18 villages

participated. This also led to the formation of Dr.AmbedkarSatsangSabha which works

for the Dalits community for the following grounds.

➢ To organize the community and connect them to the committee.

➢ To organize meetings forthose who are associated with traditional handicrafts,

which is facing threat from industrial products. And take actions promoting

handicrafts.

➢ To create awareness among the youth and organize youth platforms for them.

➢ Improve the quality of education by honouring the meritorious.

➢ Imparting knowledge about various government schemes.

➢ To make the peoples’ representative aware of his/her rights.

➢ To start initiatives to improve the financial conditions of the people.

➢ To keep away from social evils.

➢ To celebrate AmbedkarJayanti.
