The survey conducted by data firm Dun & Bread Street has shown that 82% of businesses have experienced a negative impact during the pandemic year.
When the country slowly began to return to normalcy, Zameer expected to restart his work. But economic activities did not recover as expected. It had wide and deep impact on people’s spending habit. Moreover, his clients didn’t clear their dues. The lack of credit supply resented his business activities and thus the family was under economic distress. He was receiving credit-based order but could not complete the orders due to non-availability of raw materials on credit.
Hopeless and distressed Arman Zameer learned about livelihood support programs of HWF from social media. This rekindled his hope to rerun to his business and he approached HWF.
With the financial support from HWF, Arman restarted his business. He was supported with stockpiles of all required raw materials. Now he is earning a profit which is almost sufficient to support his family.
He wants to continue his studies and enhances his skills. Presently he is pursuing graduation through the open stream.,
Field-notes from Jharkhand and West Bengal by Dr. Shiraz Sheikh
NVK beneficiary from Dodda district in Jharkhand
In India welfare schemes have been part and parcel of government policies. In the current scenario both the state and central governments have initiated range of welfare schemes to offer social and economic security to the impoverished citizen. The Nagrik Vikas Kendra (NVK) – a flagship program of Vison 2026 believes that these social welfare schemes are rightful entitlements of the underprivileged citizen. However, it has been observed that the awareness about these schemes among its potential beneficiaries are inadequate or at time missing. The Vision 2026 has taken initiatives to make people aware and access benefits of these social welfare schemes through NVKs in the hinterlands of rural India.
At presently there are 31 NVKs run under the Vison2026 programs which enable underprivileged segments of society to live a life of self-sufficiency and dignity by getting access to different welfare schemes offered by the Central and State governments. As standard practice of the HWF all Vision2026 projects are regularly evaluated and monitored. In this process 8 NVKs from Jharkhand and West Bengal were evaluated.
The evaluation was not limited to the quantitative parameters and was also assessed on qualitative indicators. To measure whether the intervention made any substantial impact beneficiary feedback were collected. During our field assessment we found encouraging and grassroots changes due to the presence of NVKs. In these reports some of the stories of changes are shared.
