“How we can attract the agencies through Logical Frame Work”
On 26/06/2013 MPSSS
with the support of Caritas India organized one day orientation
meeting at MPSSS.
The session was facilitated by Programme Officer Caritas Mr. Vinod Pandey and
the participants included Directors and Coordinators of the partner
organization and representative from MP forum. The major objective of the
workshop was to build up the capacity of the partners to develop competitive proposals
in the present scenario. Discussing the main component of the proposal that is
LFA- the Log Frame Matrix it was shared
as a participatory Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation tool whose power
depends on the degree to which it incorporates the full range of views of
intended beneficiaries and others who have a stake in the programme
design. It is a tool for summarizing the
key features of a programme and is best used to help programme designers and
stakeholders.
Will I get my land back?
Case of land rights came up when we moved
on to Umradura village under Palasiyapada hamlet where 30 households who were
issued land pattas in the year 1969 are now rendered landless as the patta have
been deceitfully taken back from them by the forest department. They were
unaware of what should be the course of action to be taken. But having got
associated with the PLDP programme they have come together and are leaving no
stone unturned to fight for their rights. Currently they are conducting
detailed study of all the issue related to their case and is seeking legal
guidance too in the case.
Who will win - People or Mining Mafia?
In the first week of June
during the field visit of MPSSS staff to target village Guwali, Phaliya
Bandibar under Jhabua diocese it was shared by the villagers that a mining
corporation from Katni has been trying to illegally encroach upon their land
covering almost 98 hectares since August 2012.
The villagers claim to have
been residing in the area for past 120 – 125 years and have proof of cultivating
this land and of occupancy over the land for past three generations. This land
is their main source of their livelihood and survival. However the area being
rich in mineral resources has always been an attraction to mining corporations.
Last year on false pretext they cordoned off the area under the disposal of the
villagers and started mining there. However there were lots of resentment in
the community and they used to enter in minor clashes. But due to money and
muscle power the mining corporation used to have their way. However with entry
of the Pragati team and familiarization of the concept of people led
development process a sea change is visible in the attitude of the community
members. They united themselves together and took upon the corporation. They
went to Jan Sunvais, met briefed the Higher officials and finally were able to get
them evacuated on February 15 and 16 2013 on the orders of the Collector.
However the smiles on their faces did not last for long on 1st June
2013 during night hours the same company came back and has again cemented their
poles in the area claiming they have license to mine in the area. Further the
villagers have been warned of dire consequences if they dared to come in
between their way. The villagers on the other hand are adamant “come what they
shall not give up their lands”.
The
ball is now in the open court who wins only time will tell but let us join
together and support our fellow brethren in village Guwali to fight for their
rightful claims undeterred.
