This is the first AID Delhi newsletter in the year 2006. There has been lots of action in the past few months in AID Delhi especially as we are venturing into newer projects and initiatives. While this editorial is being written, the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) activists and Bhopal marchers are desperately fighting for justice - justice that has been denied for the past 2 decades. We shall capture the march for justice by Bhopal Gas Tragedy victims in this newsletter. Updates on Narmada will be covered in the next newsletter. Many of us might feel that 20 years are past, what is the relevance attached to the struggle that NBA or Bhopal gas tragedy victims are ensuing ? Also what are the synergies between the two, why one struggle supports the other's cause, and so on. There's lot to it but in a nutshell, all these people's movements strive to achieve justice and they are united in their resolve irrespective of external factors. And that's why it’s so important to support them because if government can turn a blind eye on lakhs of people who are being adversely affected, it’s the death of social j ustice and democracy. I sincerely hope that we all will rise above our parochial thinking and work towards building a just society.

Flyovers and Their Role in “One” World Contributed By: Anuj Grover "Flyovers are a sign of development." People praise the flyovers countless number of times. In fact, I have myself praised the flyovers in the same vein umpteen number of times. A recent comment, though very innocuous, has set me thinking. It was in the context of a new flyover planned in Delhi. "With this new flyover, traffic will completely bypass the congested slum areas." Very promising indeed! As this way we will surely zoom past the dark under-belly of this huge city without getting disturbed by slum children playing on the streets or pedestrians making way to their livelihood. This is what almost all the flyovers do. They bypass the underdeveloped parts of the city to ease the life of those living in plush and better-off areas, so that those with fast moving vehicles don't get bothered by pedestrians and rickshaw-pullers. The people in those fast moving vehicles, therefore, ignore the presence of the people on foot. They help the rich forget the poor. They essentially divert the attention of the rich from the poor to the rich and richer. This is possibly where the insatiable desire to earn more and become richer than the richest starts to take birth. This is possibly where the government officers and decision makers, who move in cars air-conditioned or otherwise, lose the sense of reality. This is possibly where the decision to make a new flyover is taken. This is possibly where greed metamorphoses into need. This is possibly where the "one" world gets divided. Government of Delhi spends hundreds of crores of rupees in building these flyovers. The need for these flyovers arose because there was a need to speed up the traffic. It was possibly the definition of traffic that was wrong. Traffic is not just cars, scooters, and SUVs. It also comprises of pedestrians and rickshaw pullers and those who need to travel by public transport to get to work. The government should provide for speeding up the second traffic. As a result, the first one will also gain speed. The hundreds of crores of rupees that the government spends on building flyovers should

rather be spent on beefing up the public transport system and providing facilities to the slums. This will not only develop the city in a more holistic fashion but it will also mitigate most of the traffic problems. Building more flyovers can only be compared to loosening the belt to control obesity. Yes, when your waistline increases, it is necessary to loosen the belt, but it is not the solution. To lose weight, you should control diet, eat healthy food, and do physical exercise. Similarly, making more flyovers in Delhi is not a solution to the problem of congestion on the city roads. Number of vehicles on the roads need to be controlled. Focus should shift to policies that improve over-all health of the city. We must focus on reducing the number of vehicles. Following are some examples of transport-related measures, which are being followed in different countries across the world and can be leveraged for the Indian cities too :v Singapore has a policy according to which cars are cheap; however, their registration is costly. The annual auction of registration plates in Singapore makes private ownership of vehicles a not-solucrative option. In addition, this practice raises more money for the government. v Vehicles with odd registra tion numbers can be allowed on the roads on only three days of the week and even registration numbers on the other three. v Car pools can be given special preference and such cars can have separate fast moving lanes. v Public transport can be made so good (and affordable) that it saves time to go by public transport. v Public transport can be made so predictable that people plan their schedules according to bus schedule. v The pedestrian ways (footpaths) can be systematically designed and that too on priority. These ways should not only be handicap friendly, but also well-lit to ensure proper safety of pedestrians. If the footpaths are given due weight in any road widening/construction, pedestrian traffic is automatically taken care of. What is happening in Delhi is exactly the oppositefootpaths are broken to widen the road.

“An eye for an eye shall make the whole world blind”

Correcting the focus The money, raised from auctioning of registration numbers and saved from building flyovers mindlessly, should be spent in a manner so that the underprivileged sections of the society get due consideration. Stress must be laid on their upliftment, as a result of which they will be able to contribute more effectively to nation's growth. The money should be invested in many of the following things, which will again help in improving the traffic speed :v

Creating special lanes for bicycles and rickshaws

v

Providing better hygiene and sanitation facilities in city slums (So that people don't need to defecate on footpaths - thereby making them available for pedestrians)

v

Designing disabled friendly and senior citizen friendly pedestrian ways

v

Building pedestrian over-bridges or subways for crossing roads and providing pedestrian signals at all road crossings

v

Improving public transport (buses and metro rail) so that people prefer to travel by public transport.

v

Operating public transport on a publicly available schedule so that travel uncertainty of public transport is reduced.

v

Installing GPS in all public transport vehicles to monitor and provide help in case of problems .

v

Cross-subsidizing public transport for lowincome groups and daily wagers by providing better (and lesser congested) services for those who can pay.

v

Providing for dedicated car-pool lanes on high-traffic routes to motivate people to travel by car-pool. Buses and public passenger carrying vehicles should also be allowed to access these lanes.

A cultural shift in drivers is also needed. Instead of "bigger vehicle has its way", the rule should change to "pedestrian gets right to way". There is lot to be done in this direction. Don’t let flyovers fly-past the reality.

What’s New A new project initiated by Peeyush: Development of a holistic education kit for children. More details soon!

Campaigns

Bhopal Padyatra Compiled By: Peeyush, Source: Nishant What happened on the night of December 3rd 1984 was one of the most tragic incidents ever happened in the history of mankind. Deadly gas Methyl Isocynate leaked from the factories of Union Carbide in Bhopal and killed more than 3500 people instantly. The disaster further claimed thousands of lives leaving the families as innocent victims at the hands of misfortune. Ironically, what happened after the incident was even more tragic and shocking. 21 years have passed and the victims and the families of the Bhopal gas tragedy are still struggling to get their due justice from the Government of India. Even today they don’t have availability of toxins-free clean groundwater to drink and proper medical aid for their ailments. Time has changed everything but the resolve of the people of Bhopal to fight for complete justice. This March for Justice just proves this resolve of theirs and the strength of their determination with which they are standing for their cause. The march for justice, or padyatra was an 800km march from Bhopal to New Delhi, undertook by 39 th affected Bhopalis. It started from Bhopal on 20 th February and concluded in New Delhi on 25 of March. Fighting back their physical pain and enduring the scorching heat of sun, these Bhopalis passed through many cities enroute and reached New Delhi just proving the strength of their sheer determination and the perseverance for their cause. Reaching Delhi they have met many senior leaders to put their demands forward. The demands include fair trial of Union Carbide and its chief Warren Anderson and provision of medical rehabilitation of affected people exposed to toxic gases and contaminated ground water, among others. AID provided a supporting hand for the logistic arrangements and other activities. To express solidari ty towards their cause many th events were organized at Dilli Haat on 18 and th 19 March. The aim was to gather the public support on the Bhopal issue and raise the profile of the march in the consciousness of Delhi people. The events mainly included the exhibition of

“An eye for an eye shall make the whole world blind”

Raghu Rai’s photos on Bhopal, collection of signatures on memorandum, screening of the march clips and a candle vigil at night. The response received from the public was overwhelming. Over 2000 signatures were taken and more than half a dozen pr int and TV journalists came to cover the event, including the ones from NDTV, Punjab Kesari and Sahara. In the night “No more Bhopals” was scribed using candles and people were asked to light a candle in the memory of the victims. The entire area became jam packed, as the candles gave a melancholic touch to the proceedings.

enabled us to help those suffering due to severe cold wave gripping Delhi. Total collections were close to Rs.37000 with lots of in-kind woolens donations. The companies which participated in the drive: v ST Microelectronics (Rs. 31000 and woolens) – The collections were facilitated by Arvinder, Archi, Ashish Korde, Ankita Arora and Riputapan. v IndusLogic (Woolens/Old blankets) – Alpana took the lead role here. v Atrenta (Rs.5640 and woolens/blankets) – Shammi and Debomitro managed the collections. v HCL (woolens/blankets) – Mayank pursued it with HCL employees. Besides that, there were many individual in-kind donations of woolens. Ankita Sharma, Uttara Gupta, Toshita Kumar, Sriparna and Ritika served as the nodal points for collection.

On March 22 candle vigil was also done at India Gate. On March 26 padyatris took out a rally on the parliament street and went to dharna (demonstration). Padyatris insist that they are tired of repeating same demand for last 21 years and this time they want something more than the mere promises, the fulfilment of all their demands. th Finally, on April 17 , Bhopalis won a small battle when in a meeting with the Prime Minister, the PM agreed to four of their six demands relating to clean water, clean -up of toxic wastes, and the setting up of a national commission for medical and economic rehabilitation. For latest on the action, visit the Bhopal blog bhopal.aidindia.org/blog or the official Bhopal site www.bhopal.net

The funds were used to buy blankets for the homeless who slept on the streets in biting Delhi winter. Hats off to the volunteers who went for distribution of the blankets during the night. They include Arvinder, Anju Drolia alongwith her husband, Gunjan and his mother, Prabhjot, Sanjeev Batra and his wife, Ripudaman, Suman, Ratan and Riputapan. The volunteers went for distribution typically after midnight to ensure that only the really needy people benefit from this drive. Blankets were distributed to those homeless people who were asleep without any blanket/with just a thin sheet/torn blanket. The in-kind donations were sent to Goonj (another NGO we partnered with during Tsunami) for effective distribution. Areas that were covered during the distribution include most parts of Delhi besides Ghaziabad and Noida.

Blanket Distribution Drive Contributed By: Riputapan

AID Delhi organized a fundraising and blanket distribution drive in January, 2006 in wake of the death of homeless people on the streets of Delhi due to severe cold. The drive was spearheaded by Riputapan. It was heartening to see a good response to the fundraising call at such a short notice which

“An eye for an eye shall make the whole world blind”

We are indebted to our donors and well-wishers without whom we couldn't make this happen.

The children played group games, recited poems, and also performed a dance number. This was followed by sweet distribution (Kheer and ladoo). It was a great show to watch.

Project Updates

Parichay

Vijay Bhaiya, Somen, Jessica, Swina, her friend Luvleen, and Sambit attended the celebrations with great enthusiasm. It was indeed a memorable day at Parichay.

Coordinator: Somendra

Activity highlights:v Parichay bought a new collection of books from the aid provided by Mr. Swami. v Parichay has benefited enormously from the seven stalls held at different locations at TCS. v Students sponsored for formal education program appeared for their first annual exams. They are eagerly waiting for their results to be out soon. v Sponsorship amount received for many children. Sponsors are very positive about continuing and renewing their support. Republic Day Celebrations:Republic Day was celebrated at Parichay on Thursday, January 26 with great pomp and pleasure . Flag was hoisted at 10:30 am. It was followed by the National Anthem. The cultural program started at 10:45 am and it lasted for almost an hour.

Nai Disha Coordinator: Shammi In Nai Disha the major activity undertook was Computer classes for class IV and V. More emphasis was given to class V students as they need the basic computer knowledge to get admission in another school after passing out from Nai Disha (since Nai Disha is only till class V). Theory classes, practicals and vivas were conducted and few students performed very well. The task currently being tak en up by AID Nai Disha team is to work on the issue of sponsorship of class V students for pursuing further education. To ensure that money does not become a constraint, efforts are being made to contact like minded people. Friends and well wishers from IndusLogic, Adobe, AIIMS and other institutions have come forward to provide the support. Post exam, classes will commence again, being held on saturdays and sundays. The syllabus will be further refined according to what is being taught in other schools a t the same level.

Prayas Contributed By: Anand

Children participated in an English skit prepared by Jessica. The kids performed very well and looked all bright and cheerful. We were especially amazed at Moni’s confidence. All the volunteers had a wonderful time. This time community also lent active participation to the event.

There are still around 12 million children in the age group of 6-14 who are out of school; i.e. only one out of three children ends up completing 10 years of education. One of the biggest disappointments with India’s development has been the primary education. Our effort at Prayas may be like a drop in the ocean, but we should be happy – not complacent - that we have made a beginning. For our uninitiated friends, Prayas is a night school primarily meant for children above 10 years of age. These children have either never been to school or are school-dropouts. This school is presently being run four days in a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday between 9pm to 11pm, since August last year. Primarily we are trying to teach Hindi

“An eye for an eye shall make the whole world blind”

writing/reading, basic Mathematics, English and general awareness. For all those who are reading this article, it would be difficult to imagine how much confidence simple reading inculcates in a child who has not been able to read before. Now he is able to write a letter to his near and dear ones, identify the bus by its route number and also doesn’t get cheated day in and day out because of illiteracy. There are around 25 children in class though this number is variable. Out of this, 15 children are regular in the class and have made reasonable improvement. Prayas is still in evolving phase, but now we are trying to consolidate the activities in the class. As of now, we are conducting the class within a small shed in the community with bare minimum facilities. We are in the process of finalising the syllabus and finding a better classroom nearby. We have never been in a comfortable situation vis-à -vis volunteers coming to the class. Irregularity of volunteers leads to children seeing a new face every week or alternate week. Once this happens, all the camaraderie a student shared with the teacher gets lost. Although, we are trying to solve this problem but it all depends on individual volunteers. We are planning to conduct some classes on health and hygiene issues and holistic classes in coming months with the help of some of our experienced volunteers in AID. We also have a plan to arrange for a site-seeing tour to historical places in Delhi. For success of Prayas at Noida, we solicit support of all the volunteers and well wishers of AID and all those who feel for the cause of education.

Thanks are due to all volunteers associated with preparation of the program, especially to Rahul, Rajat, Ashish, Ajay and Pratyush. A special thanks to Mufti Sahib - an influential member of community – for arranging the logistics. And last but not the least a big thanks to community members for showing such a palpable enthusiasm.

AID India Conference Compiled By: Puneeta The annual AID-India conference was held at New th Delhi from December 17-19 , 2005. This conference was referred to as “One of the best AID -India conferences” by various participants from AID chapters. The conference was aimed to discuss the vision for AID's activities and streamline the coordination among the chapters of AID spread across the world. It was interesting to see a live example of unity in diversity with people from different walks of life, from different regions, with varied cultures and languages sitting under one roof. The heartwarming experiences shared by the keynote speakers, the Jeevan Saathis, and other AID volunteers have laid a strong foundation, which will sustain a robust structure for India’s holistic development.

Republic Day celebrations at Prayas:On 26th Jan., 2006, the local community members, children and AID volunteers celebrated the Republic Day at Prayas with great enthusiasm. The celebrations began with flag hoisting and singing of the National Anthem. After that students presented the cultural program, which included patriotic songs and a skit. Whole program was prepared in a span of three to four days with the help of Prayas volunteers. Students came up with the skit on their own. The message of the skit was that the education of girls is as important as that of boys in current social set up when women are as good as men in every walk of life. Indeed a good message for a Republic Day! Sweets were distributed to students and community members. Apart from some last minute hitches, everything went well and we all came back happily with a satisfaction of celebrating the Republic day along with the children and community members.

During a keynote address at the AID conference , Medha Patkar insisted that the government should proactively solve problems, which arise due to inequity and imbalance between demand and supply of natural resources in both urban and rural areas. She also peeled away some common

“An eye for an eye shall make the whole world blind”

misconceptions regarding the benefits offered by interlinking of rivers. Medhaji also released the book "245 Villages: A Narmada Tutorial". Authored by Ravi Kuchimanchi, Aravinda Pillalamarri, and Kirankumar Vissa, the book provides insights into the Narmada Valley struggle and features eyewitness reports on the issue. The conference covered: v

Chapter Updates Respective representatives to the conference shared chapter updates for Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, Orissa, Delhi, and Boston. The objective was to share the happenings and how the different chapters are coordinating the activities.

v

Corporate Social Responsibility As corporates can play an important role in shouldering the social responsibility, the concept of corporate social responsibility is fast gaining grounds. AID aims to influence the behavior of multinationals towards CSR. The aim of CSR is to involve the corporate sector in local projects on environmental and social issues. Here, AID wishes to act as a dynamic, interactive, and a reliable bridge between the corporates (including the employees) and the ongoing local socially conscious projects.

Fund Raising In this session, Ankit talked about the current state of fund-raising office, the various issues associated with handling of funds in AID -India and the prospective ways to improve upon them. He emphasized that utility of promoting meala-month and CSR as instruments to strengthen the fund-raising at AID-India. Issues in Education Chandra discussed the issues in primary education. The interventions required by the Chennai chapter were outlined to improve access to and the quality of the education. Barriers to primary education were discussed at length, and the need for such measures like evaluating the status of learning, strategic reforms in teachin g, and other such ideas surfaced as natural measures.

Ravishankar presented an analysis report identifying the trends and measures to revamp the secondary education. v Right to Information This session was chaired by Arvind Kejrival, whose name has become synonymous with RTI. He is associated with Parivartan, a people’s movement working to ensure reinforcement of democratic values. v Sustainable and Affordable Rural Technology The highlight of the session was a discussion on various factors that characterize the rural scene. Some factors like sustainability of the advancements, compatibility of the age-old methods, the need for the involvement of community, availability of material, financial sustainability were discussed as the key parameters. Setting up of a rural technology focus group was proposed.

v Talk on Bhopal Gas Tragedy This talk was delivered by Suroopa of ‘We for Bhopal’ - a group of activists working on the issue of Bhopal Gas tragedy. The actions which the group takes are mostly event based, like talks on the issue, documentary screenings, photo exhibitions etc. The group has shot a small documentary and has also written an intriguing book on Bhopal victims. v Treasury This session discussed various formal procedures related to handling finances and treasury at an individual chapter level as well as AID -India level. Some other important issues were discussed at length. These include health, education, disaster management, vision for holistic development of the affected areas and so on.

Operations Review Compiled By: Riputapan

The AID Delhi quarterly Operations Review was held on 12th March, 2006. It started with a blood donation camp where seven volunteers donated blood.

“An eye for an eye shall make the whole world blind”

The formal OR proceedings began with Nai Disha updates from Shammi. Af ter a brief introduction about Nai Disha, he discussed the present challenges and future vision for Nai Disha. The biggest challenge was that even though there are sufficient number of volunteers, however, sometimes a volunteer may be late for the class or may not be able to come at all. The new volunteer who goes in place of the absent volunteer may not know what is being taught and hence is in a fix. Another and a bigger challenge is to find sponsors for children who have completed their studies at Nai Disha so that they are able to continue their studies. Somen pledged support in locating the sponsors as he has already been championing it at Parichay. Peeyush's holistic education classes and the ongoing computer classes are a big hit already at Nai Disha, so one can say that AID is already making a difference. After Nai Disha, Prayas updates were presented by Ashish. The student base at Prayas has stabilised now and there's a demand from community to expand the school for children below the age of 10 years and for special classes for teenage girls. That in itself is an evident proof of the really good work that is being done by Prayas volunteers. The volunteer base is also reasonably stable at Prayas though more volunteers are certainly needed. The possibility of hiring Navlesh (the most regular student- cum -volunteer from the community) was also discussed and will be explored further. Peeyush's holistic education kits were reviewed by Prayas volunteers and together they will work on releasing their own ki ts. Parichay updates followed the Prayas updates and were presented by Swati. As always, there are a plethora of activities happening at Parichay. Nutrition program is running successfully though sustainability is still a concern. The masala-making unit and the handicraft items sales are also in good shape. However, there's a need to work on how to sustain this success. Parichay has also attracted lots of sponsors for the children. There's a need for new volunteers at Parichay too. Gurgaon updates and CSR-related progress in Gurgaon were discussed by Deepak and Neha respectively. Gurgaon has made a very good progress in a very short while, thanks to the efforts of Deepak Syal. There are close to 30 volunteers and they have identified mobile creches as the first project. The volunteers have already made a good rapport with the children at mobile creches. CSR will be actively pursued at Evalueserve and subsequently at other companies. Neha will come out with a document soon detailing the activities that can be taken up as part of the CSR. The basic

idea is the volunteers from within the company driving the CSR policy. The march of survivors of Bhopal Gas tragedy from Bhopal to Delhi was discussed by Nishant. th The marchers (about 70) will reach Delhi by 26 March and they will march from Nizamuddin to th Jantar Mantar on 27 March. Nishant urged the volunteers to join the march on 27th. HELP (Health Education and Learning Project) was discussed by Gunjan. Essentially, it involves training the volunteers at project sites so that they can make the community aware of the health and hygeine. All the project volunteers will work in coordination with Gunjan to evolve a strategy for the same. Meal-a-month updates were presented by Sambit. Noida has been id entified as the first place to actively pursue it because of maximum requests from here. Sambit will soon come up with a meala-month document which will set the stage for meal-a-month initiatives at other places as well. South Delhi volunteers have iden tifies two projects which can be pursued – a teaching project near Venkateswar College and other near Delhi Haat. More updates will be available later. Somendra presented the progress at the VIMs and noted that there has been reasonably good progress with the help of VIMs. Publications updates were presented by Riputapan. The good work done with the conference newsletter by the publications team was applauded. The need for the web team to work in close coordination with publications team was stressed. Also, regularisation of AID Delhi newsletters was felt needed. Anuj presented treasury updates. For the first time in history of AID Delhi, the funds situation looked considerably good, thanks to some of the individual donations as well as meal-a-month donations. The last event for the day was presentation by NCWR, an organzation working for rights of the worker community. The turnout at the OR was not good vis-a-vis the number of volunteers we have with us. One major reason could be that volunteers were on an extended vacation due to Holi. But we are hopeful that more and more volunteers shall join the OR from next time onwards to learn in greater depth about what is happening at AID Delhi and to

“An eye for an eye shall make the whole world blind”

suggest some good inputs which will help shape our future direction.

Farewell to Anirban Contributed By: Riputapan

Anirban served as the volunteer coordinator for AID Delhi for more than an year (first unofficially and then officially). A well -deserved farewell was th given to Anirban at Delhi Haat on 26 Feb. Anirban has always been a "father figure" for AID delhi volunteers - constantly guiding and helping his fellows (pardon me Anirban for making u a father for u r still a young bachelor!). Many volunteers trace their source of inspiration to Anirban. I personally do not believe in idolworship, but Anirban is one idol who can justify a temple in his name. Such is his aura and the ones who've been touched by it will concur. The turnout for Anirban’s farewell was much greater than the number of volunteers we've at our CSH's! Slowly and steadily, he built a strong base of volunteers - strong not just in terms of numbers, but strong because they are sensitized and motivated. Add to it his Phd. achievements and you get a feel of an all-rounder. Down -to-earth, true gentleman, patient, dedicated, silently active, mentor – these are just some of the words that have been used in his praise. And he deserves much more than that! Life in future may not seem as smooth as it has been when he's been around but the best part about him has been the way he has made everything and everyone independent. Entering Faith Foundation and slowly moving out after stabilizing it. Similarly, if Somen is the volunteer coordinator now, its no surprise as being with Anirban has been his 24x7 training for this responsibility. So, the things are still as bright and AID Delhi will surely shine on, for that's the way Anirban has always envisioned it. We shall miss u "dada". All the best to him for his future endeavours .
