Preface
Dear Friends,
It is my pleasure to present the Annual Report of “Aadhar Research Institute” for
the year 2011 – 2012. Aadhar is inspired by its vision to make a meaningful
difference through its contribution to the rural community with their participation.
Although we were not having any project during this year but we have tried to do
some useful intervention to improve and develop the status of the rural population.
We hope that this report have been prepared carefully to present ourselves in
taking care of rural people in this difficult situation. We would emphasize the
various interventions in fulfilling the expectations and needs of the common people.
With the support of the people and team members, we have tried to reach our goal
in the field of community development.
I am thankful to my friends and colleagues who inspired us to make this happen.

Background
The misery of rural community of Chaksu block on the aftermath of 1981’s
devastating flood changed the mindset of Aadhar’s Founder Director, a geologist by
profession, to work in rural area for the cause of common people. He served rural
communities working with Social work & Research centre (also known as Barefoot
College), Tilonia for almost 7 years before the establishment of Aadhar.
Aadhar Shodh Sansthan (Aadhar Research Institute) a grass root level voluntary
organization was registered in late 1991 under Rajasthan Societies Registration Act
1958. Organization has started working with the support of local community to
promote all round development of rural society through an integrated development
approach.
Aadhar’s main working area is Chaksu and Dausa blocks of Jaipur and Dausa
districts respectively, the two neighbouring districts in the eastern part of
Rajasthan. Climate of these districts is subjected to extremeness of cold and hot
and except for the monsoon season weather is dry. Rainfall of the area is quite low
leading to severe scarcity of water thus affecting agricultural yield, poor availability
of fodder and drinking water. These factors force a large section of the society to
migrate to neighbouring cities and states for livelihood.
Objectives:
Being a grass root level NGO, “Aadhar” serves the underserved and unserved
sections of rural society with focus on the following major objectives:
To undertake all-round development of the socio-economically backward and
other deprived sections of the society

A follow up was planned with trained Community Health Mobilizers (CHMs) in
most of the projected villages after completion of this project. Role of CHMs
were to regularly interact with newly married couples, pregnant women,
lactating mother and with Adolescent girls. Attend panchayat meetings and
raise issues related to RCH issues in the meetings. Issues on development and
child care especially on support to ANM and Aaganwadi worker during
immunization drive were also considered by CHMs.
2. Women Self help groups :-
50 Self Help Groups of Women were formed in Dausa block with the support
from NABARD. Total 517 women were the members of these groups. These
women have collected Rs. 9,95,379 and out of this Rs. 8,84,358 were
distributed among themselves as loan. Loan taken by members were used for
repairing their houses, purchasing of goats, buffaloes, purchase of grocery items
for their shop and for purchasing seeds and fertilizers. Women also discuss
issues related to their health, education, children’s health and gender etc. during
meeting of the groups. We have noticed great changes in their economic, social
and mental status.

They conducted monthly meetings and organisation personnel participated in
those meetings. Organization has also tried to link up these groups with Banks
so they could get more loans from them. Office bearers of all the groups were
also trained by the organisation in book keeping, record maintenance and proper
discussion of the issues in the meetings. Group members have experienced
about benefits of small savings, formation of groups is beneficial in taking
collective decision. This shows unity to work and discuss issued together leading
towards group strength.
3. Survey Work :-
Aadhar has carried out survey in 10 villages (Dehlala, Nandkishorepura,
Kolya, Jagrampura, Theekria Meenan, Theekria Gujran, Nainupura,
Bhagwatsar Kankaria and Sawai Jaisinghpura) of Chaksu block where
non-school going or drop out Adolescent girls of age between 11 to 19
years has been surveyed. Total 45 Adolescent girls were selected for this
Camp. The basic reason for this survey was to conduct a residential 6
months Educational Camp cum Vocational training for girls. This Camp will
be useful for those girls who are illiterate and want to earn for her and for
the family.
Chaksu block is suffering from acute shortage of drinking water for a long
time. This is due to insufficient rainfall and proper conservation of rain
water. Looking towards regular demand from the community Organization
has decided to carry out survey in water scarce villages of Chaksu block
to find out the real situation of water. 2 villages (Rupahedi Kallan and
Kupa ka Bas) were selected for water conservation activities; this was
planned through construction of Anicut and development of catchment
area of that particular village. Number of meetings with Panchayats and
the communities were carried out to specify activities Chaksu block where
people are either not having electricity or available electricity is
insufficient. Due to lack of electricity in villages/ Hamlets, people are
facing problem with Education, health and in-house self employment.
Some 10 Women were selected for training, fabrication, installation,
repair and maintenance of Solar lighting system. This will further develop
confidence among them and generate income.
A survey of was carried out for physically challenged women in 7 villages
of Chaksu block to identify real need and eagerness to learn cutting and
stitching of Mosquito nets. 20 Women were selected who were from
Scheduled caste and tribes community and are physically challenged.
