While
implementing various projects successfully as reported earlier, the team
members of the SPSS has been receiving constant demand from the public as well
as persistence of the old people of its project areas regularly to plan &
launch a suitable project / programs for
welfare of the needy poor/ destitute
aged persons also. Several aged person reiterated their sorry plight stories to the members of SPSS which were heart touching and very
emotional.
Therefore
keeping in view of their genuine felt needs, the team members of the SPSS conducted a need Assessment survey of its entire
project area (rural as well as urban slum
areas ). During survey it was revealed that the aged persons area generally neglected/ignored and their pessimistic
attitude is always in the growing
curve. Overall their health is very poor. Most of them are suffering with senile diseases and are
not getting proper care or any medical
treatment as their families are so poor that they are unable to provide any care / medicines to them even they
are not getting food to their satisfaction
and proper clothing and as such their condition has become very critical.
They social
status of the old people in the community is now become more form respect., neglected/ isolated and ignored,
supposed to be out dated, non earning / un
productive and crazy, They are being considered as unnecessary burden in their families. Family
support to the old people is just formal
and almost negligible, as result most of them have become destitute whereas
some of them have become beggars in their last phase of life.
Analyzing the
facts of the prevailing problems / situations, the managing committee of the SPSS decided to take
urgent steps for providing necessary support to such needy aged persons on priority basis. The experts/ professionals of the Samiti had planned /designed and
formulated three projects one by one are wise and activity wise.
One project was submitted to the
Government of India. Ministry of Welfare, new
Delhi for setting up of an Old Age home for providing shelter and other necessities to destitute aged persons
which in under active consideration.
Second project was submitted to
Help age International, U.K. for setting up
of day care centre for providing proper care, ford, clothes, health check up / medical treatment, pocket money etc. to aag
slum dweller as and we feel happy to mention that
this agency has agreed to , support to 50 (fifty) aged
persons in the beginning and a letter to this effect has since been received by us in the last week of march 1998 along with
their terms & conditions and an agreement form,
after completion & submission of all the papers,
they will start funding our AAG programmed (i.e. Day Care Centre) on
quarterly basis regularly. The project is five years.
Third project was submitted to
help age India, New Delhi for providing support to aged person
s by involving them in income generating activity of
nursery raising duly integrated in their homes/ with their families. This project has also been approved has already been
received by us..We hope that be amount of the above grant will reach to
us in the beginning of the next financial
year (i.e. 1998-99) as we have already completed and submitted all the
required papers to the concerned agency.
Hence these are the salient examples (i.e. success
story) of the Sonali Public Shiksha Samiti which is growing rapidly and step by
step it gives us great pleasure in
presenting our Annual progress report for the year 2000-01 that may
throw some light into our prospective-ness. Way of working and activities /
program undertaken so far.
