2. Project Kushal: vocational education as part of secondary school

Sakal is working with local NGO partner for its skill Development program which integrates job and life skills training in existing school curricula to make high school education more practical and relevant. The multi-skill vocational education program complements the existing school curriculum with vocational education to help the students learn better. It provides students with hands-on experience in skills such as electrical wiring, welding, carpentry, plumbing, gardening, basic health and hygiene, agriculture etc. The program is delivered by local trade practitioners (carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc.) who teach their trade at high schools. Project Kushal (meaning expert) is a four year multi-skill job and life skills training program, integrating vocational training with secondary and higher secondary school curriculum and introducing school students to the “World of Work” during grades 8th to 12th.

Curriculum: This multi-skill program covers four Sections: Basic Engineering (welding, carpentry, fabrication, plumbing etc.) Energy and Environment (Electrical wiring, solar energy, bio-gas) Home and Health (nutrition, hygiene, basic health care) / Food

Processing Techniques Horticulture, Nursery and Agriculture Techniques Trainers: Program delivered via local micro-entrepreneurs who are trained to provide multi-skill training. Gender Neutral: Program does not distinguish between boys and girls. Everyone undergoes same curriculum.

Key Performance Indicators

Mobile Medical Vans Mobile Medical Van (MMV) is a national level multi- centric project initiated by Sakal Social Foundation (SSF) with an objective of providing a comprehensive range of health care services to rural community in remote areas and semi urban slums through an equipped mobile medical van. The programme is based on innovative concept of “Community Centric Sustainable Health Delivery Model”. The programme focuses on providing wide range of Promotive, Preventive and Curative health services to the beneficiaries. The model envisages an efficient and cost effective health delivery system for the community.

In the coming years we plan to launch 50 such Mobile Medical Vans

in Maharashtra, so as to benefit more than 1 Crore of the rural people out of the current 6 Crore rural population.

Each MMV reaches out to 25000 population every month. Each MMV provides health benefit to around 2000 patients per month MMV would be reaching in small towns and remote villages of Maharastra

every month. These Mobile Medical vans will be planned to benefit in 50 districts of Maharashtra as per need identified.

Increasing surface water capture (to 36.35% from 32.00%)

Increasing ground water levels (to 36.32 BCM from 33.95 BCM)

Increasing irrigation potential to 58 Lakh Ha from 48.25 Lakh Ha

Providing 135 LPCD for 91 additional ULBs

Enhance water supply to rural by the rejuvenation of all non-functioning rural water supply schemes

Increasing sustainability of water by ensuring recycling of water (30% for domestic, 20% for industry)

Increasing agriculture water efficiency by 50% (24Mm3/lakh MT from 47.9Mm3/lakh MT

Preliminary strategies

◦ Increase efficiency of delivery in 3 levels – water sources, supply and water usage

◦ Aim to identify replicable models to be scaled up across the state of Maharashtra

3 streams to focus on developing key solutions to deliver “Water for All” in Maharashtra

Governance, Community and Civil Societies, Organizations & Private Sectors

ii Ground Water Optimizing ground water availability and recharge

There are 154 Talukas which are drought prone and receive less than 700mm of rain water annually with 97 critically effected

Source: PriMove analysis

• 31 million people are impacted directly

• Drought prone Talukas are faced with serious constraints to socio-economic development

• Health issues are also faced involving diseases such as diarrheal, cholera, typhoid fever, salmonellosis, other gastrointestinal viruses, and dysentery
