“Helping local schools to achieve good result and enhance their

enrolment in higher education

1.1 Introduction

Improving education quality in a village requires a comprehensive plan that addresses

various aspects such as infrastructure, teaching quality, curriculum, and community
involvement. Any one deficiency in these qualities can lead o poor education and in-
efficient knowledge. As Educated and responsible citizens of this country we have chosen a
Government High School to provide information to the children about higher education and
possible opportunities.
We have tried to motivate the children and make them believe that they can pass their
10th examination with a little bit of effort and knowledge. We have given information the
areas to concentrate on and score well. Keeping the main subjects as Mathematics and
Science we have given some ides to remember and ace the examination.
Further We have provided information on the 3 streams of Pre-University years i.e., 11 th
and 12th about having Science, Commerce and Arts as their next educational options. If
taken Science what are the professional opportunities available i.e., Engineering, Medical
and other research fields. If taken Commerce banking opportunities and other options suchas
CA , MBA etc.
In the session we have also educated about the competitive examinations such as IAS,
IPS, KAS and other options to enter into public service. As the students were interested we
also have provided some information on course to become police officers or join the army.
In the session we also educated the children about the scholarships available for their
furtherstudies. As it being a village the students were very enthusiastic and keen to listen to
us.

“Developing sustainable water management system ”

4.1Introduction

In view of the over-dependence on ground water, the water table is falling at

an alarming rate, much beyond the capacity of the rainfall to recharge it.
Additionally, the water resources are also getting contaminated due to
malpractices and consequences of industrialization and urbanization and other
anthropogenic factors, like improper waste disposal, chemical run-off from
fertilisers and pesticides from farms, to list a few. Although water is an
abundant resource, still it is not always available where and when it is needed,
restricting its consumption. This has a negative impact on various aspects, like
livelihoods, gender parity, education, etc., thereby affecting the social fabric of
the society. This also often leads to law and order issues arising out of water
wars. The situation is further aggravated with rising population, rising
standards of living, changing land use, urbanization, increasing economic
activity and climate change. Improper waste disposal is one of the key reasons,
responsible for water pollution. Adding to the problem, unavailability of
adequate water results in unsanitary conditions, as it prompts people to go for
open defecation. This in turn, results in contamination of our water resources.

 Baseline Survey: In addition to the surveys, information on community water

sources, availability and services was gathered through Key Stakeholder
Interviews at various levels. o GP level: One interview with Panchayat
Pradhan and other PRI members o Key interviews with govt. officials o Group
Discussions and Triangulations: In order to triangulate the findings of the
sample survey, interviews, and focus group discussions were conducted at
village level. o Focused Group Discussions with Community members o
Focused Group Discussions with Farmers o Household, school and anganwadi
surveys: Pre-coded questionnaires capturing the proxy indicators for
measuring water availability, demand and supply components were
administered
Participatory Rural Appraisal & Village Mapping: After the baseline survey,
consultations were organized with different stakeholders that included
community, panchayat members, school teachers etc. It was done to propose
an integrated solution mapping based on the problems identified. The
solutions for an integrated approach were a combination of conventional
knowledg1. Safe drinking water: Safe drinking water is key to good health. In
addition to this, having a sustained source of water supply is also critical.
IWRM explores means through which use of existing water resources
(including waste water) can be optimized, to address the needs of the
community for which it is designed (both in short-term and long term). There
are mainly five Strategic Objectives (Enable Participatory Planning and
Source Sustainability; Water Quality Management; Sustainable Service
Delivery (O&M), Strengthening Decentralised Governance, and Building
Professional Capacity) to achieve its overall objective of providing improved,

“PREPARING AN ACTIONABLE BUSINESS PROPOSAL FOR
ENHANCING THE VILLAGE INCOME”

3.1 Introduction

Rural labour markets are often dysfunctional. Labour market institutions are
weak, as are their organizations and representation. Underemployment is
widespread and incomes are generally low. Access to social protection is
extremely limited. Rural workers are often vulnerable, and in numerous
circumstances, are not fully covered by national labour law, while more
broadly, their rights are not realized are enforced. Indigenous and tribal
peoples are particularly vulnerable to discrimination. Because of this
vulnerability and lack of organization, the voice of rural is often not heard in
relation to both rural development and broader economic and social
development.
Common challenges to unleashing the potential of rural areas include law
productivity; underinvestment in agriculture and non-farm rural employment;
lack of adequate infrastructure; poor occupation safety and health and
working conditions; and limited or no access to services, including financial
services. Additional pressure in rural economies result from conflict, natural
resource depletion and climate change.
The rural economy holds considerable potential for economic growth,
employment creation and promotion of decent work if the right policies are in
place. The ILO’S decent work agenda,as an integrated rights-based
development strategy, supports tripartite constituents in their efforts to
promote sustainable rural livelihoods.
However the rural area are also characterized by great diversity and should
 not be considered as being exclusively agriculture. There is a mixture of on-
and off-farm activities ranging from smallholder agriculture and pastoralism
to highly sophisticated commercial agribusiness supplying global markets
through intense reginal and linkages with industrial and services sector.
Rural development has been on ILO’S agenda since it was established in 1919. Since
then, the ILO has adopted over 30 international labour standards that directly target
agriculture and development, covering rights at work, employment opportunities, social
protection and social dialogue.in 2008, the ILC discussion on rural employment, which
culminated in the adoption of a resolution and conclusion on promoting rural
employment for poverty reduction, set a mandate for renewed ILO involvement in rural
development issues. In march 2011, the governing body adoption a strategy on promoting
decent work for rural development, which called particular attention to areas such as rural
entrepreneurship, enterprises and cooperatives; employment-intensive employment
strategies; appropriate skills development; extended social security coverage;
occupational safety and health; and the systematic inclusion of rural dimensions and
actors when developing and implementing employment and social protection policies.
Informed by these developments, decent work in the rural economy became one of eight “
areas of critical importance (ACI)” for the biennium 2014-15,and since then constitutes
one of the office’s ten policy outcomes. Approach to rural poverty aims at increasing the
overall resilience of communities and their
Capacity to address such challenges through the decent work agenda. This approach is
based on three main goals; increasing the voice of rural people through organization of
communities and promotion of rights, standards and social dialogue; promoting an
employment based rural development model through diversified livelihoods, sustainable
enterprises and better integration in value chains; and providing social protection floors
which guarantee minimum income and access to basic services in rural economies which
are often very vulnerable to external shocks.

3.2Objectives
Skill Development and Employment
Unless jobs are created via skilling the rural youth, the purpose of the costly
skill
development programs would remain defeated. The Government of India
plans to
invest $5Billion in the next five years. Often the difference between the rural
and
urban prospective skilling candidate due to the socio cultural as well as
socio
economic background that persists in the hinterlands, makes it very
tough to
persuade the students to opt for an alternate vocational skill enhancement
offered
by various skill development schemes. These youngsters are frequently
looking
for comfortable, albeit grossly unfit government jobs. Apparently, only the
field
of IT draws an interested crowd for enrolment and training. These young
minds
need to be motivated to a higher level of aspiration.
Dr. Y. Satya (Satya, Y., 2015) evaluated the changes in employment
avenues
observed in the predominantly rural North-Eastern hill-state of Meghalaya
and
found that considerable skill gaps exist when the local youth adopted a new
skill
in pursuit of alternative sources of livelihood. The low imparting

imparting skill but the relevance, commercialization and risks in implementing

it
in different situations were challenging tasks that had to be addressed by
trainees
themselves. The alternate employment trends involve contracting including
labor
contracting, using machines, machine maintenance, suppliers, transport
vehicles ,
, hiring open land, sales-depots and maintenance, employing daily wage
laborers,
professionals such as administrators, managers, accountants, electricians,
tool

.
suppliers, outsourcing, seasonal engagements, security etc
Incidentally these activities listed above are also the backbone of all labor-
centric
entrepreneurial efforts which are key to the uplifting of the impoverished
rural
landscape. The attitude and hence the performance of the candidates who
undergo
training for a new skill abandoning the traditional employment route depends
on
contracting, using machines, machine maintenance, suppliers, transport
vehicles ,
, hiring open land, sales-depots and maintenance, employing daily wage
laborers,
professionals such as administrators, managers, accountants, electricians,
tool
suppliers, outsourcing, seasonal engagements, security etc.

“TO SKILL RURAL POPULATION”

4.4Introduction
The rural population involves providing education and training to
individuals in ruralareas to enhance their employability and livelihoods.
This can be done through variousinitiatives such as vocational training
programs, entrepreneurship training, and digital
literacy programs. Skilling the rural population has several benefits, such
as reducing unemploymentrates, increasing income levels, and improving
the standard of living in rural areas.Additionally, skilling the rural
population can also lead to the development of localeconomies and
promote overall economic growth.

“REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION”

1.1 Introduction
Today, in all countries around the world, the energy sector has been severely
affected by high fossil fuel prices, so all countries are calling for new energy
with low cost as new alternatives to fossil fuels or to reduce consumption of
energies with high pollution (Kyriakopoulos et al., 2010, 2019). Buildings in
cities, especially in the tropical regions or warm seasons, consume nearly 40%
of the world's energy (Maiolo et al., 2020). In these areas, most of the energy
consumption is spent on building air conditioning. Therefore, the design of fit
thermal insulation to reduce solar energy penetration into the buildings can
have a significant impact on the reducing energy consumption in buildings
(Tsang and Jim, 2011). The addition of vegetation and soil to roof surfaces is
suggested as an efficient solution to reduce the buildings energy consumption.
Vegetative roofs through cooling effects of their vegetation and additional
thermal resistance can cause stabilizing the internal building temperature and
reducing the daily fluctuations in ambient temperature (Oberndorfer et al.,
2007; Berardi, 2016). Statistical analysis shows green roofs could reduce solar
energy absorption by about 50% in comparison with conventional roofs, and
account for more than 50% of heat dissipation (Tsang and Jim, 2011). As
shown in Table 10, green roofs can have a positive impact on the reducing
annual energy consumption in buildings.
