One of the major issues in the present
context is ‘Right to Food’, which stands great challenge to the poor
people to get their rights and One of the concrete example of option
for the poor today in India would be to campaign for the government
schemes on the Right to food. There are 8 schemes but are unknown to
the poor and the marginalized. Through regular home visits,
awareness was generated among people on RTF, PDS, ICDS, APL/BPL,
MDMS, AAY NFBS, and NOAPS etc. our project aim is to at least 80% of
the households have improved access to entitlements of NFSA and SCSP/STSP/WASH
and other government schemes.
Followed by Vimukti RTF Training last year, several programmes have
been conducted at the village levels with focus conscientizing the
marginalized communities such as the Dalits tribal and the slum
dwellers on their right to food and of enabling them to make the
most of the food related schemes of the governments. In this
connection, resource material on Right to Food had been prepared in
kananda and distributed to the targeted villages of our working
area. With the aim of enhancing the effectiveness and fruitfulness
of RTF campaign. VIMUKTI has built strong network with likeminded
NGOs and with government office at Raichur.
In different times training for animators and village leaders was
organized and resource persons were called to give input sessions on
various schemes. Nearly 35 villagers have been educated on right to
food act.
