Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan is committed for the empowerment of target beneficiaries and for the impact of the project. In the series, the organization has been experimenting significantly for introducing improvements to the program at times and still committed to continue the experiments in future. Here, we share some experiments with you, that are - - -
Some years ago, Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan in collaboration with the Government , distributed sewing machine, mason tool kit, painting tool kit and other implements free of cost to tribal community for their employment or livelihood. In year 2008, when the organization had post-study for the follow-up and collected information amnd feedback from the beneficiaries, village official, and RSKS Team we came to know that the individual, who got a particular tool or tool-kit, doesn’t know to do the work or to use the kit. That’s why better utilization of these costly implements didn’t happen to be possible and the so-called beneficiaries didn’t get benefit from the implements.
Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan is determined to empower target beneficiaries through feedback and information. As is it most required for the success of any work and its positive impact to have complete and meaningful information regarding the matter. Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan always strives to empower the beneficiaries throughout the project from beginning to follow-up. The following example reflects the organization’s approach as follows:---
In order to the reformation of this programme for the beneficiaries of tribal communities RSKS Invited following feedbacks from the village officials, staff, & beneficiary / stakeholder these as follows-
*. Before providing the free instruments to the tribal community they should be trained in the skill trade through vocational education.
*. Along with skill development training they provided training of Life Skill and EDP & capacity building so their leadership and decision capacity and entrepreneurship would be develop.
*. Time to Time the village officials and organization team must be do the regular follow up of the beneficiaries and if requires so they providing better guidance, advise and suggestions.
On the basis of the information and feedback, Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan had a meeting with the concerning Govt. department and performed a minor experiment. In the experiment, we decided to provide some skill development training to these tribal men/women and when they pass the examination, free equipment's/tools will be given to them.
As we expected, tribal people started utilizing the implements efficiently for their livelihood after being trained in a particular trade. They got better livelihood which made them living a improved life.
