The organisation - a group of passionate, dynamic women operate with the firm belief on the Democratic Principle of “By the women, for the women and of the women” to attain Gender Equity in Local Governance. As a Resource Centre established to cater to the Defined needs of Women Elected Functionaries Vision: - To build a gender just and the Women, PRAGATI endeavors for an society. environment for Capacity and Skill Enhancement to deliver an Accountable, Mission: - To enhance the status Transparent, and Responsive Local of women in social, economic and political spheres. Governance. The organization has emerged as a training institute on governance, gender, sexuality, health, education, rights and entitlements. It conducts training of trainers for civil society organizations from various states of India as well as from SAARC countries such as Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Also it has been a partnering with its parent body in conducting workshops on issues of rights and entitlements. Training was given to SRC department (state resource centre). It was sexuality based training, under which the laws and policies related to sexuality were discussed. A trainer from our organization went to LAL BAHADUR SHASTRI NATIONAL ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION (LBSNAA) as a supportive faculty member to participate in the gender equality in governance program. Why Gender Equity for Good Governance? Good Governance is a percussor to growth- especially Economic Growth. Gains are huge when women come in Governance , they change the face of the Development Agenda. The 73rd Amendment to the Indian Constitution in 1993 revolutionized the concept of ‘Grass-Roots’ Democracy. It paved the way to strengthened women’s participation; ensuring mandatory 33% reservations at all the tiers in Local Self Governance. Today out of the 3 Million Elected representatives in the 2.5 million villages of India a gigantic 1.2 million stand as Elected Women Representatives (EWRs) a number more than the Elected Representatives put together all over the world. Women in leadership are “non-hierarchical and participatory, and give priority to disadvantaged sectors”. Their leadership also focuses on “issues rather than personalities.” Women further consider their leadership as promoting a greater responsiveness of local government policies and services. PRAGATI Annual report – 2012-2013 4 A study1 undertaken by PRAGATI reveals certain positive fallouts, with 78% of the panchayats represented by the women, encompasses structural changes in the rural socio-economic situation in order to achieve the prosperity and welfare. The Vienna Declaration of 1993 states that, Deficit participation in Governance erodes and violates the Political and Civil Rights of women, which constitute the basic spirit of Human Rights. Health, Sanitation, Education and Water services tend to be better in Panchayats led by women rather than men. But despite receiving objectively better service, women were subjected to harsher standards of performance than men. The findings show that, the relationship between women’s stated priorities and actual spending patterns in villages, women leaders tend to invest more in the requirements of the marginalized and women. They have also brought alcohol abuse & domestic violence onto the agenda of political campaigns. Women leadership in Local Governance-Economic Impact It has been viewed by us that the Local Government bodies where the Elected Women Representatives are in the majority has an increased participation of women in the Gram Sabha Meeting, Planning and Participation in Development Projects. The earnings of the women directly go to the family kitty, facilitating better investment in food, health, education, etc whereas the same amount if earned by the male of the house resulted in pilferage of the income into alcoholism, gambling thus leading to violence and economic drudgery. A clear indicator that women leadership in governance creates a positive environment bringing women in villages within the ambit of development - a move towards Economic Prosperity. Challenges and struggles of Women Elected Representatives in Local Governance The Affirmative Action in the form of the 73rd Amendment did give women a Political Space in Local Self Governance, but not adequate- the Institutions of Local Governance faces a larger challenge of Gender Bias and challenges that thwart the enthusiasm of millions of Elected women Representatives. 1 Gender Equity in Local governance a study undertaken by PRAGATI on 5,000 Elected Women Representatives from 22 Districts of three states i.e. 13 districts of Uttarakhand, 6 districts of Haryana & 3 districts of Himachal Pradesh PRAGATI Annual report – 2012-2013 5 Corruption- In a study2 conducted by PRAGATI 87% of the Panchayats that are headed by elected women representatives resisted the payment of the mandatory 20% commission to the officials for the Development work for their panchayats resulting in low corruption level. Transparency International claims, “Women's presence in Local Governance has brought out the issue of corruption, transparency, accountability and good governance”. Gendered construction of proxy leadership - It has been strongly felt that elected women who received training perform better and work independently without the interference of the males from her family, thus strongly eliminating the concept of Pradhan Pati. The myth that Open Seats is a man’s seat was the most important point of debate that has acted as a major deterrent for women to contest the open seats. Lack of Devolution& Administrative control -Lack of Democratic Devolution of power with Funds, Functions, and Functionaries to the Elected Representatives, makes their presence ineffective and voiceless. Deficient Skill Enhancement & Trainings – A study report by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, Government of India3 recommends, “imparting Training emerged as a critical determinant of the performance of Elected Women Representatives…trainings should not only be made mandatory but it should be organised regularly ” Lack of self -confidence & low level of literacy - The abysmal low-level literacy amongst the Elected Women Representatives has been identified as an impediment for the women to work as independent representatives. What is the Role of PRAGATI? It is these challenges that we have pledged to eliminate with those millions of Elected women Representatives. We complete the cycle of 5 years to transform the face of Women Leadership in their journey in Local Governance. As a Resource Centre Building Innovative Strategies and practices to broaden their political education, vision and skills through Capacity Building, Advocacy & Lobbying, Trainings, Exposure, Networking etc with emphasis on exclusive Training for women Representatives are central to our endeavors. 2 Gender Equity in Local governance a study undertaken by PRAGATI on 5,000 Elected Women Representatives from 22 Districts of three states i.e. 13 districts of Uttarakhand, 6 districts of Haryana & 3 districts of Himachal Pradesh 3 Study on Elected Women Representatives in Panchayati Raj Institutions PRAGATI Annual report – 2012-2013 6 Every five years 85% - of EWRs coming into Local Self Governance are first timers. It is this significant number of passionate women that we at PRAGATI focus to provide a support system to deliver Good Governance the need of the hour of Rural, poverty ridden, Unreached, vulnerable India. Hence Capacity Building is Strategized and Phased in a Triple pronged Approach- Awareness, Initiation and leadership. AWARENESS INITIATION LEADERSHIP The Post Election Phase- on Women Leadership Training on Roles, Responsibility, Increased Functional skill The Pre Election Phase- of Electorate Voter Literacy, Mock Elections The During Election Phase strengthening Prospective Women candidates to contest, Filling Nominations, Strategise, Election Campaigns Advanced and Follow Up Training Recognizing the importance of Competent Trainings PRAGATI as a Resource Center has Developed Need –Based, Area-Specific Training Modules to cover gaps by broad based training needs assessment amongst the stake- holders. We have developed the Uttarakhand State Module for the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation and Multi-mode Training for the Elected Representatives through Distance Education (Indira Gandhi National Open University). We are emerging as a Training Institute establishing linkages beyond national boundaries. These trainings & exposure visits for the SAARC Region i.e. organisations from Bangladesh ,Nepal, Bhutan and Srilanka serve as a platform for participants to – learn, study, share experiences, gain an insight into issues of concern and emulate best practices in their respective countries. PRAGATI Annual report – 2012-2013 7 PRAGATI’s Milestones Innovations Broadening the Political Horizon Women Vigilance Committee (WVC) and Women Polling Agents (WPA) an Innovative Initiative in the country, the organization to prevent violence against women and irregularities existing in the election procedure and encourage prospective women candidates to participate and join the political mainstream in larger numbers without fear has formed women vigilance Committees and Women Polling Agents. Women Self Help Groups are being formed as watchdogs in the Panchayat especially where the Elected Representatives are males to give a collective strength to women’s needs and economic emancipation. Climate Change & disaster management in Governance - a global concern – EWRs have a large role to play and are grassroots representatives, instrumental in its addressal. Women in most communities hold the most reliable knowledge and concern about environment protection issues. Increased awareness of its consequences in the Himalayan region and strategies to arrest this issue will be incorporated in our training modules and “Women Go Green Groups” of EWRs and village women will be formed. Women have surpassed the 50% reservation mandate and 53% seats have been won by women in the last Panchyaat elections. PRAGATI’s Lobby and Advocacy Initiatives have resulted in the state of Uttarakhand the first in the country to pass the Landmark bill titled “The Uttarakhand Panchayat Law (Amendment) Bill 2008” bringing 50% reservation in Panchayats and double term at the Pradhan level for women. Now this has resulted in the Centre taking a stand for provining 50% rervation for women in all local bodies. 50% rervation for women in provided in Panchayats in Uttarakhand. However, women have been elected to grass-root bodies in large numbers i.e. 53% this is attributed to the efforts of PRAGATI. PRAGATI made a Presentation before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personal, Public Grievances, Law and Justice (June, 2007) on the issue of sensitizing the members on “Nyaya Panchayat”.The views of PRAGATI were appreciated and are under consideration by the Parliament. Open Forum an annual Ritual is organised for 800 Elected Women Functionaries with represenation from other states also. It is a Macro-level intervention aimed at creating a pressure-lobby to influence legislation and public policy in sustaining women's struggle towards effective PRAGATI Annual report – 2012-2013 8 decentralization of powers and strengthen the Institution of Local Governance. The Open Forums have been instrumental in bringing major policy review and changes at the Regional and the National level. An all women team of RLEK-PRAGATI gave a presentation on the 73rd and 74th Amendments before the Standing Committee of the Parliament on Urban and Rural Development in December 2001. The suggestions of the team were incorporated in the 56th report of the Committee. Legal Status of the Organization PRAGATI has emerged as an independent and autonomous All Women’s Organization and is registered under Societies Registration Act 1850 and under the FCRA, which gives it the independence of accepting Foreign Funds. Board members The organization has a diverse blend of women drawn from fields like management, rural development, law, information and communication Technology. They continuously provide their valuable feedback and inputs for better program implementation and fulfillment of objectives. (For the details of General Body and Executive Committee please refer to Annexure - 1) PRAGATI Annual report – 2012-2013 9 Chapter II – Activities undertaken during 2012-2013 Women’s Empowerment Programme supported by WAKF Board, Haryana Self-Help Groups (SHG) have emerged in order to help the rural poor, particular women in securing inputs like credit and other services. Its lays the foundation for self reliance through the building up of an institution which has the capacity to sustain the development and empowerment process for women. Decentralization of the authority so as to ensure redistribution of wealth, easy access to education not just as a constitutional right but as a reality and also other social facilities. To make our society free from gender biased approach, decentralization of power is necessary. Formation of SHG’s is not an end instead after the formation the real challenge starts and it is to be treated as the means to facilitate the process of bringing positive Interactions with community in Haryana change in the society. The formation of common-interest groups consisting primarily of women has had a substantial impact on their lives. The impact of SHGs on women’s empowerment and social security has been invariably an improvement from the status quo but there is a need for support in several areas which are analyzed in this report. The status of women has generally improved as they have developed stronger confidence which has changed gender dynamics and their role in the household. In south India, significant improvements in fertility rates, female literacy, participation in development program and economic independence are evident. Women are able to fight for their rights and entitlements and have emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Further, SHGs are becoming more than just financial intermediaries, instead they have emerged into a more political and social unit of society. In this backdrop PRAGATI is implementing the “Women’s Empowerment Programme in Yamuna Nagar District. The project is being implemented in 3 Blocks , Chhacchrauli, Sadora and Bilaspur of Yamunanagar District of Haryana, covering a total of 35 villages. In the first phase, 25 Self-Help Groups were formed consisting of a membership of 230 women who are now involved in various income generation activities such as compost making, stitching etc. These women have been able to enhance their economic status through such activities. In the second phase of the intervention PRAGATI Annual report – 2012-2013 10 12 villages have been added to the project area and till date 14 SHGs have been formed and 170 women have become members of these groups. The third phase has witnessed an addition of 8 more villages.

PRAGATI Annual report – 2012-2013 15 Chapter III – Publications PRAGATI has come out with the following publications this year- Lets implement schemes of Gram Panchayat PRAGATI Annual report – 2012-2013 Chapter IV – Action Plan PRAGATI has been working towards empowerment of women since its inception. Panchayati Raj is the best system for empowering women and it is lowest rung of local governance and its efficient working, clean image and activism can be the basis for good governance. Systematic and sustained efforts are being made to provide strong information and knowledge support to the elected women representatives through training and innovative communication, as well as participatory approach. Training is an essential input in ensuring role clarification of the women leaders and raising gender awareness. The women are realizing their own latent potential and furthering the development at the grassroots. As a result of interventions made by the organization, the women are playing a major role seeking solution to the problems existing in the village e.g. education, ration, cleanliness, liquor etc. However, Intensive/advance training of women is essential for promoting active participation of women in the governing process which could bring about the much desired change at the grassroots level. Also women Gram Sabha members need to be capacitated in order to make them understand their role as agents of change in grass-root governance. Further, it is essential to capacitate women on their rights and entitlements especially in relation to acts such as the Right to Information Act, 2005, Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 and development schemes concerning marginalized groups, health, education, sanitation etc. Women SHGs are doing commendable work however, it is essential that they recognize their collective strength. They need to be trained as pressure groups acting as community advocates providing hand holding support to women in distress. Since elections to the Panchayats have been held in the state Post-election trainings shall be conducted for elected women representatives. These trainings shall provide in-depth knowledge to women on their roles and responsibilities as leaders, rights and entitlements, micro-planning, networking, development schemes etc. IEC material shall also be prepared based on the felt needs of the community dipped in the cultural fabric of the community in simplified form in order to make the learning easy and receptive.
