Hi, Friends,

I believe it's only when the citizens of a country understand and practise the core values of the Constitution that democracy can take roots on the ground. Otherwise, it remains only a rhetoric. 

My goals of empowering the poor and powerless remain unchanged. I would only like to calibrate my strategy, and focus on educating the people on the basics of Indian Constitution. I believe it's only when the citizens of a country understand and practise the core values of the Constitution that democracy functions properly. Otherwise democracy remains only a rhetoric.

My background and sense of commitment and also my expertise in what I want to do are all there in my profile you are welcome to go through by scrolling down this page.

I HEREBY APPEAL TO MY SUPPORTERS TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR GENEROSITY. ALL VIEWERS OF THIS PAGE, PLEASE DONATE TO A GOOD CAUSE AND HELP SPREAD THE IDEA.
Warm wishes
Satyabrata

LOCATION AND PEOPLE
District of Mayurbhanj in Odisha, where different tribes constitute 60% of the population. People generally earn their livelihoods from farming, forest produce gathering, wage labour, traditional crafts, animal rearing etc. I propose to work in two Blocks: Gopabandhu Nagar and Shamakhunta near Baripada town. Target group will comprise poor families belonging to Santals, Munda, Bhumij, Lodha and other communities such as weavers, bamboo craftsmen and dalits. Priority will be on helping the minor girls under some or other self-employment skill training programme to become self-reliant, and to stop child marriage which is rampant in the area and puts the young girls into unforeseen domestic troubles. The current pandemic, accompanied by closure of schools and shrunken sources of family earnings, has compounded the problems of adolescent girls, who either slip into child labour or are disposed off in ill-planned early marriage.

FUNDING REQUIRED
The estimate has been made for one year -
The estimated total budget is:
INR 8,50,000/ (USD 10,000)

MY PROFILE, MY STORY
I am Satyabrata Barik from Odisha, India. As a full-time social worker, I have served the poor people in Odisha, for 25 years; worked in the field of alternative education for tribal kids, to empower the poor and oppressed. Now at 60, I am still with the same spirit and passion as before to do something that would further the democratic goals of our country. But I don't have a stable source of income, let alone any financial support from any quarters to carry out my social mission. 

I left home as a fresh graduate in early 1980s to join an organisation, as an ordinary volunteer. As a testimony to my commitment and perseverance in the sector I have led organisations, both in Govt and NGO, visited Netherlands in connection with a literacy conference, and qualified to work temporarily with Teach for India.

As a full-time and dedicated social worker I always cherished a vision of a just and equal society. I still retain that vision and sense of social responsibility till date. The zeal to do something in response to certain irksome developments in the country is often irresistible.

My Past Work
I worked with tribal children and their communities in Odisha, to develop a responsive strategy in education, to organise villages for collective/co-operative action, to fight violence against women, alcoholism and superstitions and, to influence the opinion makers in favour of pro-people policies through various media of communication. Being an open-minded creative thinker and writer myself, my experiences have given me deeper insights into local as well as national issues, and sharpened my ability to ideate on long term solutions.
