After introducing the Right to Food
Scheme, its aim and objectives to the appointed 40 local leaders in
the 20 pockets, Vimukti itself did the task of educating and
enabling the people to gain maximum by the following seven specific
schemes through street plays under RTF: Public distribution
system(PDS), Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY), Mid Day Meal Scheme (MDMS),
National Old Age Pension Schems (NOAPS), Annapurna; Integrated Child
Development Scheme (ICDS), National Maternity Benefit Scheme (NMBS),
and National family Benefit Scheme (NFBS) etc. It was in view of
widening the impact Vimukti with the collaboration of staff
organized street plays along with singing awareness songs in the
project area. Local self-help groups, school children and panchyath
leaders and people were given orientation through street plays on
the importance and usefulness of the RTF schemes in a more modern
and efficient way. Street play was staged in eight public places and
also by way of rally, distributing pamphlets and making them aware
through placards in the targeted villages of Manvi taluka. The
participants admitted that such programmes resulted in their
realization and that they were forfeiting their rights more than
before as they remained ignorant of these schemes. As a further
result participants expressed their willingness to be part of the
RTF mission.
