Summary
Save a differently able children in disadvantaged tribal and 2009 Ailla Cyclone affected areas with access to quality education in an interactive and joyful environment. Children are enabled to join mainstream schools, having become confident, independent learners.
Challenge
Access to education in these areas is limited (a) because it is often locally unavailable, (b) because of domestic and economic pressures forcing children to work, and (c) because it has traditionally not been accorded value. Nearly half of rural children in our area are out of school, and literacy levels are around just 33%.
Solution
Institute for the Handicapped and Backward people (IHBP) runs primary schools catering to children from poor tribal, minorities’ families in 42 villages of Backward Block of North 24 Paarganas district of West Bengal. The schools operate in rooms donated by, or rented from, villagers. IHBP involves local communities in the management of its schools and trains local instructors. Our schools equip children with essential skills for coping with the challenges of contemporary life. They learn literacy and numeric skills, hygiene, and creative activities. Visits to city/zoo/library are also undertaken.

India has some 40 to 80 million persons living with disability, it is estimated that about 30 per cent of them are children below the age of 14 years. In India, most of the disabled children do not receive any form of education and poverty is the biggest cause of disability in India. Low literacy rates and widespread social stigma are making disabled people among the most excluded in Indian society. At least one in every twelve households has a member with disability and illiteracy and poverty among the disabled families in high. Children with disabilities are 5 time more likely to drop out of school than average. Institute for the Handicapped and Backward People, with the help of its dedicated well trained staff and volunteers have done an extensive research and survey amongst the different villages, town of South 24 Parganas District and surround Kolkata and its adjoining areas. From the data collected through this research and baseline survey IHBP has come to the conclusion that out of the total population of the said area a large numbers are disabled children and people. Out of the disabled people a majority of them are from the poorest of the poor family. Though the government has started different projects and programmes for the welfare and benefit of the disabled people, the condition of them has not changed a bit. Through our survey we can say that the awareness amongst the parents of these disabled children is negligible and they are not aware of the different schemes and programmes of the government and its different welfare projects. We may further add that from our survey we can say that there has been some genuine lacking amongst the government employees involved in the different awareness camps or they have not acted with full social or moral responsibility. For the parents the disabled children are a curse and they will have to live with it. As most of them come from socio and economic backward background and are not educated they are least bothered and are not willing to spend any money or time on their disabled children. They have left their disabled children on their fate. As the matter stands we art first have to thoroughly generate awareness amongst the parents of the disabled children. The above mentioned disabled children of the said area are in urgent need of help by education, socioeconomic rehabilitation and primary basic amenities in all respects like, heath, education, living conditions and toilets sanitation and mobility accessibility. IHBP as a socially dedicated NGO working for the total development and upliftment of the disabled children and people both men and women sees it as its moral and social duty to do some productive and constructive work for the welfare of the said disabled children and people. IHBP concludes with the fact that there is a huge scope and responsibility on the part of government and the implementing NGO to bring a socio-economic development, education and basic amenities amongst the needy, poor disabled children in the South 24 Parganas District, Kolkata and its surrounding areas.

Our Organization visualizes that the backwardness and deprivation of some section of the society are the manifestation of the unequal and unjust structure, where a few control power and resources. The basic issue that hinder the overall development of society and the deprived section is unequal access and control over the means of productions-land, resources, technology etc. Besides, lack of resources among the weaker sections, unequal access to services like education, medical facilities and information. Destruction and alienation of the self sustaining natural resource base of the poor on one hand and the increasing control over these resources by commercial interests on the other are the major factor for the deteriorating status of large sections of the rural poor. The end result is that the poor sections are forced to live either a marginalized existence or alternately migrate to urban areas in search of livelihood. This in turn not only leads to their displacement, but also alienates them from their cultural heritage, which is an inherent part of their life style. With our experience over the year through grass root work with rural poor and advocacy efforts , we have realized that , unless the marginalized rural poor and tribal develop the capacity to understand , involve and utilize the potentials and the opportunities on one hand and questioning the injustice and irregularities including the corruption and leakages, any developmental programs. The overall goal of the project is to enhance economic opportunities in the project area to benefit women and men including youths so that their level of income increases and they have better access to services. The project will achieve this goal by introducing entrepreneurial skills to the targeted beneficiaries and sustain them through collective production and marketing activities. The project area has one of the worst poverty indicators in the country. Low skills have led to lack of employment opportunities which has further complicated the situation with high migration, trafficking and poverty affecting the households.
