FOREWORD Dear friends and collaborators, India is said to have more than 200,000 NGOs numbering the highest in a country. Besides, there are CSOs, Human Rights Activist groups and RTI Activists ranging from far left to far right ideological orientations. In spite of such a range of ideologies and activities, a true bottom up model of development has not been possible in this country. One legitimate question is that do we need such a vast NGO list when in a democratic nation which claims to give stable government? The volume of NGO presence is a sign of a good or bad, effective or ineffective state. The greater the presence of NGOs the less effective is the governance of a nation. From this point of view, it is clear that the state apparatus in our country is not doing its job. It is in this context that NGOs emerge to fill the gap/vacuum that the state apparatuses have created. But today the dimensions and volumes of issues that affect the socially, economically and culturally marginalized communities call for strong synergies and networking whenever and wherever is possible. There are areas wherein we need to work very closely with government apparatuses to get the grassroots communities their rights and entitlements and there are areas we need to challenge the state machinery when its polities and priorities are anti-people, anti-poor. We need a strong network in such a context. Today’s socio-political, economic and cultural realities call for both type of collaboration, with the government agencies and between NGOs fraternities.

INDIAN SOCIAL INSTITUTE BANGALORE

Programme Calendar 2016-17

This is the age of collaboration, from grassroots to international bodies and agencies, between the most illiterate rural masses to highest international scholars and intellectual giants on people’s issues and needs. Marginality and social exclusion are two nemeses of almost two thirds of world population. It is even more and worse compared to other countries. This needs for greater and greater collaboration, exchange of ideas and programs, and so on. It is in this context Indian Social Institute (ISI –B), looks at the poor and the marginalized, envisages training program, interactions, internship and exchange programs with national and international learning centers so that such synergy is possible, collaboration can become the strongest methodology to social transformation. So, we invite you all our friends and collaborators to be part of the initiatives that ISI –B is venturing. Feel free to share your feedback on our training and research activities, be part of our initiatives and let us together create a new society of fraternity, social justice and inter-human solidarity.

1. AN OVERVIEW

I

ndian Social Institute, Bangalore, (ISI B) was established in 1963 as the Training Unit of Indian Social Institute, Delhi. Though ISI B was located in Bangalore, right from the beginning it was a national centre but specially focusing on the four southern states. In 1993, ISI-B became an independent institute with special focus on training the social activists and leaders from the marginalized communities. Over the last five decades and more, the Institute has been accompanying the people from the marginalized communities through training, research, documentation, networking and advocacy. ISI B is not an implementing agency but works in and through the CBOs, NGOs, CSOs and other like-minded individuals and organizations to initiate social change in the society to reclaim the lost social rights and dignity of the marginalized. Vision: “A just, humane, democratic, secular and inclusive society” Mission: To accompany the marginalized communities to claim their entitlements for a dignified life, through social research, training programmes, publications, advocacy and critical initiatives, in partnership with like-minded people, organizations and movements. Objectives: ¾¾ To accompany the Community Based Organisations (CBOs) to carry forward their struggles for a better life.

AN OVERVIEW

Programme Calendar 2016-17

¾¾ To train grassroots activists and human rights defenders for greater impact upon civil society groups. ¾¾ To intervene as and when the rights and the dignities of the marginalised and vulnerable individuals and communities are violated. ¾¾ To help initiate people’s movements based on constitutional and human rights. Thrust Areas: ™™ Issues affecting the Dalits, Tribals and Minorities ™™ Gender issues ™™ Inclusive and equitable economic development ™™ Corporatisation of culture, media, economy and resources ™™ Constitutional and human rights of the vulnerable and the marginalized ™™ Cultural pluralism and secularism ™™ Environmental protection and promotion Strategic Interventions: Keeping in mind the vision, the mission, the objectives and thrust areas, the Institute in collaboration with many individuals, CBOs, CSOs and NGOs makes strategic interventions through the following programmes of action: • Trainings, Workshops and Seminars: To create awareness on social realities and to ensure responses to the emerging realities, trainings, workshops and seminars are organized. • Action Research: Over the years an attempt has been made to combine activism with research. Since evidence based advocacy alone will lead to the expected result, greater stress is laid by the Institute on action research. • Documentation: Understanding the fact that knowledge is power, the Institute collects and disseminates information, data, and other material about the priority groups. • Publication: Outcomes of the research, workshops and seminars are published at an affordable cost for the benefit of people, CBOs, CSOs, NGOs and people’s organisations. • Networking: Understanding its role as a national institute, the Indian Social

At the operational level these resources are divided under the following Units: Research Unit: This unit undertakes socially relevant researches which have policy implications and provide support for networking and advocacy. It also conducts research methodology course specially for social activists who can do a lot fact finding, issue based short term researches for their further exploration of issues and remedies to problems. Human Rights and Training Unit: The Human Rights Unit attempts to network with social activists, human rights activists, human rights defenders and civil society organizations in upholding the rights of all especially the most marginalized and vulnerable. It also conducts trainings on social realities and makes resource materials available for the CBOs, CSOs, NGOs and people’s organizations. Women’s Unit: Gender sensitization and gender equity are central focus of this unit. Along with this, it also concentrates on the capacity enhancement of the Dalit, Tribal and minority women. Labour and Migration Unit: This unit which is being set up in the Institute envisages to accompany the intra and inter-state migrant workers and establish linkages between the place of origin and destination and undertake researches to highlight the issues of the migrant workers and engage in policy interventions. Outreach Programs: Outreach programs in the five southern states are organized to train and capacitate the activists of the CBOs, CSOs, NGOs and people’s organizations.

2.1 RESEARCH UNIT: 2016-17

esearch Unit does not introduce any new course but has proposed a new research on Land Acquisition Bill, as the two researches that the unit undertook were completed. The other two programs were regular programs from the unit which are very relevant and needed. The research team is now composed of two stalwarts, one with rich experience in the field of teaching, writing and field study and the other with strong and fresh academic qualification from both national and foreign degrees. With this strong duo, the unit is planning to take more researches this year. They are in the process of submitting two or three more researches. There will be changed and new directions to other programs like fact-finding and documentation and also in the research methodology course. Here is the detail of the activities of the Research Unit for the financial year 2016 – 17:

RES-01: Solidarity with Victims of Socio-Political and Cultural Violence: Fact Finding Context It is one of the core responsibilities of the Research Unit (RU) to reach out to the emerging unrest and violence against our priority communities. As we all are aware, our country is pitted against the vast majority of the socially and economically marginalized communities by the dominant minority of casteist and religious fundamentalist groups. As a result, sporadic and targeted violence and tension are let lose to reinstate the dominant social and political discourse and supremacist tendency. On such occasions, RU would like to reach out to the spot and do a fact—finding reporting and documentation of the event which would be taken up for advocacy with likeminded groups and CSOs for action.

RES-02: Land Acquisition Bill: An Assessment with Special Reference to Socially and Economically Marginalized Communities of South India General Objective To critically look into the impact of Land Acquisition Bill upon the socially and economically marginalized communities, both rural and urban, especially upon SCs and STs and to propose ways for policy changes.

3.2 KARNATAKA OUTREACH: 2016-17 General introduction and Overall objectives ¾¾ Since its inception, Karnataka Outreach in close collaboration with several like-minded grassroots organizations and educational institutions has been working to strengthen democratic, secular and egalitarian ethos in the state. ¾¾ During the year 2016-17, it is going to focus its attention on carrying forward its work of empowerment of the progressive forces that have been striving for justice; social, economic and gender. Our empowerment work will focus on broadening their legal knowledge, and awakening a sense of human dignity, and reinvigorating their fighting spirit. ¾¾ Karnataka Outreach continues its humble efforts to wean away our youths from the clutches of sectarian and divisive forces by exposing their hidden agendas and machinations. Social analysis training is especially designed to orient our students and youth leaders to make them contribute their mite to weaken the forces of intolerance. ¾¾ Communal forces are still active in the state of Karnataka, and they are busy in building communal consciousness. To build communal consciousness they have been misappropriating formal and non-formal educational space. To counter this we have planned three trainings for teaching community to orient our teachers to play a proactive role in the regeneration of our society on the principles of Tolerance, Mutual Respect and Egalitarian values.

Programme Calendar 2016-17

¾¾ Apart from strengthening students and teachers we continue to be a visible part of important secular forums and campaigns such as Karnataka Communal Harmony Forum, and People’s Campaign for Right to Water. ¾¾ To put it, in a nut-shell, the overall objectives of our programmes are to inculcate life-enhancing values in our students, and to de-communalize the educational space, and to strengthen the struggles of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Religious Minorities and Dalit-Christians to assert their constitutional and and legal rights so that they can redeem their human dignity and constitutional rights. In order to realize its objectives, Karnataka outreach is proposing a total of seventeen programs on six themes for the year 2016-17. THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: ¾¾ To deepen the knowledge of Dalit and Tribal activists about legislations which have been recently enacted for the benefit of their communities. ¾¾ To reinvigorate the cadre base of Dalit Christian Movement in Karnataka by deepening its knowledge base pertaining to the current developments and challenges. ¾¾ To work with secular-minded teachers to spread the egalitarian values among the student community. ¾¾ To facilitate the acquisition of Life-affirming Social Values and Life-Skills by the students and youth leaders belonging to marginalized communities – especially from rural Karnataka. ¾¾ Keep spreading the ideals of great persons viz. Mahatma Phule, Savitri Bai Phule, Dr. Ambedkar, Narayana Guru, Basavanna, Periyar, Birsa Munda. ¾¾ To make our associates gender-sensitive and to motivate them to lead an eco-friendly and simple life. VERIFIABLE INDICATORS ¾¾ Written evaluation/feedback sheets. ¾¾ Media coverage. ¾¾ Publication of books and articles by our trainees.
