After completion the training the target group, especially women became self sufficient within stipulated period under the effective training and also earn fair income. As a result women are encouraged. So they able to educate their children easily.

Agricultural Training for the Peasants

Agriculture is our base. India is an agriculturally dependent country. We train the peasants modern cultivation methods to reduce the existing technological and adoption gap among the farmers in West Bengal. With the help of our agricultural training program many farmers are getting more crop in cultivation.

Free Training & Coaching Centre for the Children, Students & the Needy People

We have established the institute ‘AARIYOM MUKTARABI PATHSHALA’ for the bright future of the students with the joint collaboration with Aariyom Foundation. We want to develop their moral- cultural values & consciousness. In this institute we provide free music training, free drawing training, free Yoga training. Here also we conduct motivational & educational workshops for the students of the class five to class twelve. Life without work is as miserable as work without real or complete knowledge is terrible and deadly. Therefore, in addition to information-centric learning students are interested in acquiring knowledge through hands-on experiments and at the same time, by focusing on the duties & responsibilities of the environment, society and the country, they can lead life towards perfection. For this reasons, we set up ‘‘AARIYOM MUKTARABI PATHSHALA’ with the collaboration of Aariyom Foundation. And Yoga keeps our mind & body healthy, so the organization has arranged Yoga training for everyone. Yoga training is also a part of our institute. We also provide free coaching to some poor students. Every year we provide annual prizes for the ranked students in the classes from class I to class XII and also provide school bags, exercise-books, pens, pencils, etc. to the poor and meritorious students.

Women Empowerment & Development Programmes

We, Kuemuri Sangram Sangha conduct various programs for the development of the women. We believe that a woman is the pillar of the family who can hold the entire responsibility of the economical status as well as household. For this purpose, we train women to develop their economical & social conditions. We train them to prepare pickle, jam, jelly, mushroom cultivation, poultry farming, fish farming etc. Then we train them to sell these items to the local market. We encourage & produce them various handicraft training like broom making, plastic garland making etc. We also organize many awareness programs for the women like child marriage awareness camp, human trafficking awareness camp etc.

Sanitary Napkins Distribution

Most areas of Patharpratima Development block in South 24 Parganas district are remote. Most of people live in under below poverty line ( BPL ). School girls, Poor teen-age girls and women ( before menopause ) in the remote village cannot buy napkins during menstruation. As a result, they use dirty clothes at that time and then after washing in their ponds they do not dry that clothes outside for fear of public embarrassment. So, they use that damp clothes again. As a result, there are infected with various diseases. So we, Kuemuri Sangram Sangha distribute napkins for free to keep them safe during menstruation. Kuemuri Sangram Sangha started this scheme at Kuemuri village of Patharpratima development block. Now the organization has able to spread this scheme to many villages. Now about 1800 women benefit from this scheme.

Making Self Help Groups (SHGs)

The Self Help Groups (SHGs) Guiding Principle stresses on organizing the rural poor into small groups through a process of social mobilization, training and providing bank credit and government subsidy. The SHGs are to be drawn from the BPL ( Below Poverty Line ) list approved by the Gram Sabha wherein about ten persons are selected, one each from a family and focus on the skill development training based on the local requirement. The SHG movement has gathered pace in countryside and is directly or indirectly contributing towards the economic development of rural areas. This article throws light on forming self help groups in rural areas as well as its effect on the rural economy. The objective of Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) is to bring the assisted poor families; that is; the beneficiaries or Swarozgaris; above the poverty line by ensuring appreciable increase in income over a period of time. This objective is to be achieved by organizing the rural poor into SHGs through a process of social mobilization, their training and capacity building along with the provision of income-generating assets through a mix of bank credit and government subsidy. The main objective of SHG concept is to improve the economic development of women and create facilitating environment for their social transformation in the lift of gender discrimination in work and the household.

Effects & Outcome

In India, self employment has been recognized as an essential force of development in rural areas. It has emerged as a strategy designed to improve the socio-economic life and mainly focuses on extending the benefits of development to the poorest in the rural areas improving their standard of living and self-realization. SHGs in India are integrating the low income segments with rest of the rural community by ensuring them a better participation in a more equitable share in the benefit of developments. These Groups are not only speeding up economic growth, but also providing jobs and improving the quality of rural life towards self-reliance. Self-employment needs a very wide ranging and comprehensive set of activities, relevant to all aspects of rural economy and covering rural people including skilled, unskilled and landless labours and artisans of Rural India. Even though the Rural Indians put their entrepreneurial skills in all the rural development activities their economic status has not improved to the expected level. Although they have much potential; they are ignorant of converting their skills into reality.

It is very important and vital to address these issues and for this an integrated approach of Government, Banks and NGOs is crucial. The institutional efficiency needs to be increased. Speeding up the delivery process is also very important. Easy access to credit, flexibility in the repayment schedule, conceptualization of new schemes for the poor should be considered.
Kuemuri Sangram Sangha plays a role, too, i.e. equally important as we serve as the most important element to create awareness among the rural poor. We try to give wide publicity to rural banking and its linkage programmes at local level and must enable the underprevileges to participate in the decision making process at the bottom level. These measures can significantly make the Self Help Groups effective and efficient in order to boost the Rural Economy of India.
Like other years to promote Self Help Groups and to motivate them in Micro-credit financial system, we regularly arrange promotional workshop and group meeting followed by a centralized workshop in our area of operation. Resource persons from various institutes, financial Institutions and social workers are regularly invited to deliver their valued opinion in these workshops.

The scattered beneficiaries group particularly women who are always victimized under present socio-economic context needs to be united. SHG formation can increase Poverty alleviation, rising of Socio-economic status, banishing of social taboos self-employment and above all self-reliance and women employment.

Gender Equality

Of the estimated 1.3 billion people that live in absolute poverty globally, 70% are women. Women account for just 10% of the world's income and own less than 1% of the world's property. India is no different with just 55% of women literate, compared to 78% of males. Gender equality is important, not only as a human right, but also because women have a key role to play in sustainable development and achieving the Millennium Development Goal's. We, kuemuri Sangram Sangha dreams and works for gender equality

Natural catastrophe Fani, Amphan & Bulbul ; Disaster Management

Natural catastrophe like Fani, Amphan, Bulbul etc. is common phenomenon in Sundarban delta. Kuemuri Sangram Sangha extends its hand to the people during these natural catastrophes. We help the victims of Fani, Amphan & Bulbul as possible to give them safer shelter, cooked food, essential commodities. We always prepare to help to the people.

Cyclone Yaas ; Disaster Response

Cyclone Yaas was a relatively strong and very damaging tropical cyclone that made landfall in Odisha and brought significant impacts to West Bengal during late May 2021. On May 22, a low-pressure area formed in the Bay of Bengal. On the next day, the disturbance intensified into a depression. On May 23, the system further intensified into a cyclonic storm. On May 25, The storm subsequently reached its peak intensity of 140 km/h (85 mph) in three-minute sustained wind speeds. On May 26, Yaas made landfall north of Dhamra Port and south of Bahanaga at the same intensity. In West Bengal, More than 4,500 villages were damaged. Various rural homes and agricultural lands were hard-hit, and basic needs such as drinking water, sanitation, and the like were also hard to come by. At least 143 marine vehicles were broken into.
Starting on May 25, heavy rains and strong winds started to brush the coastal and inland areas of West Bengal. The storm Yaas caused weak earthen embankments to break and caused floods. Lots of houses collapsed, lots of tress uprooted, lots of ponds, farms were flooded, lots of people were homeless. At this time the fishes in the ponds and other animals died & were floating in the flood water. As a result, the whole area smelled bad. The incidence of pathogens was increasing. People were totally helpless.
We, Kuemuri Sangram Sangha at first rescued flood affected people and shifted to safer places. We would provide cooked meal to 550 people twice a day. And we also provided dry food packages to about 7500 villagers. To ruin the stench and germs we spread the bleaching powder and quicklime in the affected areas. We have renovated many pond by our volunteers. We distributed clothes to the flood affected people. We planted a lot of trees after the cyclone Yaas. We donated tarpaulin over 150 people. Our organization provided fish to some poor people who had lost their fishes in ponds during Yaas. Many charitable organizations like Ramakrishna Mission ( Sarisha Diamond harbor branch & Swamiji ancestral house branch ), Aariyom Foundation, PDMSS, BTS etc. and many well-wishers & honorable persons extend their support for the affected people. We thankful to many organizations and well-wishers for helping us.
