ARINDAM PAUL DIRECTOR, GIDFHow has your organisation been instrumental in bringing changes at the grass root?
The Aurobindo Chaudhuri Memorial Great Indian Dream Foundation (AMC-GIDF) is supporting developmental initiatives in more than 2,000 villages spread across India benefiting an estimated 1.5 million people. We are currently supporting 534 primary schools, 6 residential schools and 140 Baalwadis apart from running the learning centres. In rural India our initiatives also include building check water dams, working in areas of diversification of alternative livelihoods, specially with the women Self Help Groups. In the health sector, our initiatives include RCH Programmes, Mobile Outreach Programmes, HIV/AIDS Programmes, et al. We today cover 2,000 villages, but we have to reach up to 6 lakh villages. The task is daunting but GIDF will definitely see the light of the day.
How can social sector bear fruits in the long run?
Having worked for UNICEF, GAIL, NACO and similar organisations, we have realised that we need the civil society to change its attitude towards NGOs. We are helping the government on our own to bring in radical changes in the society. But change can never be sustained until all stakeholders are equally involved.
