| Immunization |

This is the milestone this year as due to the geographical and climatic conditions and also
scarcity of govt. staff this activity was whenever started discontinued. But this year Govt.
provided one solar run refrigerator. The scarcity of staff was made up with our senior
supervisor who has been giving vaccines to all the children on 26th of every month since
July 2001. This had given birth to one of the indispensable services of primary health care
in this most neglected are of Arunachal Pradesh.

The sustained persuasion for 3 years has resulted into forming a number of SHGs. The salient
features of these groups till now has been that we have not contributed any monitory support
to start these groups. It is the loan facility which is attracting more and more ladies to
join these groups:-

Due to the previous dismal record of repayment no bank at Seppa is willing to support
the groups under SJSY. Thus, we had contacted CAPART, NABARD and RGVN. All the three
have extended cooperation but due to our weakness of not able to provide audited statement
of year 2000-01 till now we are not able to avail that.

| Intervention through preservence of Cultural Heritage |
TOP |
This is a new avenue of bringing about social change in which we have started intervention.
Two of our old workers one Smt. Senya Tajo, the oldest health worker of KHOJ the other Smt.
Yana Bagang, one of our assistant supervisor have with our active support and direction devoted
themselves to revive the dwindling faith of local people of Donyipoloism, at the same time
bringing about some reformations by weaning out those customs which have become detrimental
to local society and environment.
Another development in the plan of Ekal Vidyalaya Yojana is that inspired by the experiences
of Khoj Chayangtajo they have decided to spread similar health scheme in all their projects.
This will locally cover the whole of the East Kameng District where they plan to cover 135 villages.
With our assistance they have been able to secure assistance from district administration in
the form of community recreation hall at Seppa. This is a big hall for seating 500 people, AJSS
has partitioned it into rooms and now it is their district office cum residence cum training
centre, Thus they are set to run 32 schools in East Kameng after May 2002 out of which 21 are
in Khoj area.

| Education |

The Ekal Vidyalaya Yojana by Arunachal Jan Seva Samiti conducted 10 one teacher schools
in East Kameng District out of which 8 were in Khoj area of Chayangtajo and Bameng Circles.
They have completed training of teachers for 22 more one teacher schools which will open
up in May this year.

| Trainings |
TOP |
A. Monthly training of 2 days for VHWs and TBAs are being conducted regularly. This has
improved this year the reporting data and consistency. Besides the routine teaching of
preventive health and diseases special stress had been on:-
- Improving quality of reporting and evaluation.
- Telling duties and behavior of social worker.
- Sharing experiences of other Khoj projects through Health for million and Hamari Chitthi Apke Nam readings.
- Stress was on immunization RCH and SHG formation.
B. Senior supervisor Mr. Bikram Tamang attended one Training on various health topics including
Malaria, RCH and Adolescent health education at Delhi in the month of October-2001. This provided
him an opportunity to share experiences of other field workers.
C. 10 days training was conducted for 2 newly recruited supervisors in August-2001 to initiate them
into the filed work of KHOJ.

| Efforts for Self Sustainability |
TOP |
Medical services whish provided a major source of income for project are dwindling in
Chayangtajo and at Bameng they will be gaining momentum in the coming year only. Thus the
year 2001-02 has provided lowest financial return this year.
| Total Collection |
: Rs 59750/- |
| Total Payment |
: Rs 89433/- |
Savings :- Last year there was collection of about one and a half lakhs but
payment was given this year. Thus there seems to by no saving this year.
-
Sale of IEC materials, health and hygiene related materials like filters, tooth pastes,
tooth brushes, mosquito coils, mosquito nets etc. and education materials like notebooks,
pens, pencils, erasers etc. have produced little income.
-
RGVN, CAPART and NABARD are ready to help in our endeavor of SHGs which will also provide
substantial amount for administrative purpose but due to non availability of audited account
of report of last two years we are abstaining from entering these collaborations.
| a. |
Collection |
: Rs. 19969/- |

Arunachal Jan Seva Samiti through its Ekal Vidyalaya Yojana has provided financial assistance
to sustain the VHWs and field supervisors. All the VHWs become teachers also of one teacher
schools. They are paid Rs. 500/- moth by AJSS thus increasing their income from Rs. 300/-
provided by Khoj to Rs. 800/- month. The two field supervisors who received Rs. 500/- month
from Khoj are now getting 700/- and 900/- month extra increasing their remuneration to Rs. 1200/-
and Rs. 1400/- month respectively. Thus has increased their consistency in the work. AJSSd has
spent about Rs. 1200/- in the yearApril/2001 to March/2002 in East Kameng District on EVY.
-
State’s Asstt. Director Tribal Welfare has offered to assist through many centrally financed
schemes in Khoj area but we have not yet advanced in that direction due to non availability of
the audit reports of last two years. That help we plan to avail in a big way if the said report
if prepared early.
