From the
Chairman's Desk
Dear Friends
Over the years, BISWA has endeavoured to adhere to the principles of
transparency and accountability. Undeterred by malicious campaigns to
tarnish our image, all of us at BISWA are set to address challenges of
extreme poverty and sustainable development in India. I must thank all of
you and expect your comments and suggestions to guide us in the years to
come as usual. I have pleasure in placing the Annual Report of BISWA for the
year 2010-11 for your perusal and directions.
As you all know the income gap between the haves and have nots in India
continues to be staggering. While the per capita income of the well to do is
comparable with the developed and rich countries, the poor still survive on
Less than 2 dollars a day. This sharp contrast between the developed India
and the underdeveloped Bharat is manifesting itself in social unrest that
threatens the very unity and sovereignty of the country. The underlying
cause of the social unrest is denial of access and right to dignified Living for
an overwhelming majority of poor Indians.
Ever since its inception, BISWA has continuously endeavoured to work for
economic and social inclusion of the poor and excluded. Our focus has been
women as they bear the major burden of poverty, and till recently were
excluded from the development planning and required resource allocation
processes.

Through empowerment and financial inclusion women have demonstrated that
they are the most effective catalysts of social change and sustainable
development. This is a fact that has been demonstrated by over one million
women members of the BISWA family, year after year. BISWA as an institution
and me as its torchbearer have remained committed to our vision of bringing
dignity to the poor and excluded women. Our mission of '1 million jobs, 2
million toilets, 3 million water tap connections and 10 million trees by 2015' is
an article of faith for the entire BISWA family and each one of us is determined
to accomplish it.
The year just gone by brought many new challenges. The uncertainty and
troubles in the Micro Finance Sector has been a setback. The required policy
interventions were long overdue thus impacting our operations. We have
accordingly re-organised and gathered our strengths around social thematic
areas viz. Livelihood, Water and Sanitation, Health and Education, Relief and
Rehabilitation, and Natural Resources Management as a response to Climate
Change. The strategy adopted is to create national level advocacy on these
matters and attract multiple funding sources to multiply our actions and scale
up the interventions .
Our strategic collaborations with national and state government and
partnerships with various agencies including corporate bodies and donors
remain healthy and effective in delivering public goods to poor. In years to
come, we will further expand and strengthen these relationships by forging
long-term collaborations with them.
I owe my sincere gratitude to Dr. Bhagbanprakash, Chairman, BISWA Policy
Advisory Council Mr. Prafulla Kumar Dhal, Director, BRIC; Mr. Prasant Kumar
Sahu, DGM, BISWA and Mr. Pitabas Sethi, Secretary, BISWA for their deep
involvement in organisational affairs and making it possible for me to deliver
the best I could.l am grateful to all my staffs, members of Governing Body and
Policy Advisory Council, consultants and well-wishers of BISWA for their
commitment and sincerity to bring BISWA to this stage. I thank Dr. Jharana
Mishra, Chief Manager, Research, Documentation and Consultancy, BISWA for

Manoranjan Mishra (NationaL Runner Up East and North East)
Mr.Manoranjan Mishra hails from Sambalpur in Odisha. Born in a poor family. At an
early age, Manoranjan took tuitions to fund his education and support the family
income. After completing his graduation, he continued to take up various odds
jobs to earn money, often holding two to three part times jobs simultaneously.
One of these jobs was with a local travel agency. The work enthused him and he
quickly realized its business potential. After gaining some experience in the job,
he decided to set up his own travel agency.
Needless to say lack of capital was hisfirstmajorchallenge. To make matters worse he started receiving
threats from an established Local travel agency, even before he could get started. Not one to give
up, Manoranjan preserved and managed to acquire a Loan of 50,000 from an NGO. Bharat
Integrated Social Welfare Agency (BISWA) assisted him with technical and managerial inputs to
set up and run a business. Thus in 2000, Manoranjan set up his Konark Travel Agency .
. Today, Konark Travel Agency has a steady clientele and a reputation for reliability. The travel agency
employs 6 full time workers. BISWA continues to support him by routing all their ticketing
requirements through his travel agency. He also caters to travel requirements for various training
programs at BISWA and other organizations. In 2009-10 Konark Travel Agency had a turnover of
4.5 Lacs and a profit of 1. 9 Lacs.
In a bid to increase his clientele, Manoranjan has increased the gamut of services offered to customers.
Apart from ticketing, Konark Travel Agency also provides assistance with gas and utility services.
Manoranjan aims for a whole host of services requirements in the area.
Ensured Market Linkage SHG's are Linked to Market
To harness the potentiality of rural marketing for income generating and livelihood promotion of the
poor and to enhance financial inclusions BISWA has a marketing project called the Laxmipriya
Micro Enterprises Pvt. Ltd (LMPL). Key objectives of the LMPLareto adopt a systematic marketing
strategy that would strive to consolidate both product and the cross marketing benefits to rural
poor and women entrepreneurs of SHGs. As part of its activities, LMPL has been supporting
women members of SHGs, SHG Federations, Cluster level members and the tribal communities
through its social financing and providing technical knowhow with management skills to the
newly emerging women entrepreneurs in marketing field. As a part of marketing support, BISWA

"Ten million people suffer not only from Leprosy as a disease which is scientifically and medically
proven to be curable and manageable, but also from political, legal, economic or social discrimination
and isolation as a result of misunderstanding and indifference, and Lack of legislative or administrative
measures to prohibit such discrimination and to protect and remedy the victims."

s a new Life for them. Until yesterday, they were Looked down upon by their neighbours who
considered them as cursed souls. None in their respective Localities desired to even glance at their
shadows. But today they are rubbing shoulders with the same people at workplaces such as
agricultural fields, hand loom centres, poultry farms, vegetable gardens and handicraft centres. The
Leprosy cured persons at Hatibari Health Home- A Rehabilitation Centre located in natures cradle,
nearly 25 kms from the western town of Sambalpur in Odisha, India, have today rediscovered
themselves today in a new and yet different world.
This is because of the efforts of BISWA, the organisation that has been tirelessly working for the
rehabilitation and reintegration of these people through multiple socio-economic interventions.
Founded by Padmashree Dr. Isaac Santra in the year 1951, the home came under the management of
Hind Krustha Nibarana Sangha and District Administration of Sambalpur after the sad demise of the
founder. Towards strengthening the process of rehabilitation they handed over the charge ofthe home
to BISWA. BISWAs action that makes difference among the inmates is as follows:

Rehabilitation and Reintegration with their family and the society
Initially when the organisation started its intervention, the inmates were not in a mind set to go out of
the house, so the 1st task was to develop self confidence among them by engaging them in Livelihood
promotion activities. The organisation supported them with small farming and manufacturing units
training them on agriculture, cloth weaving, sisal work, candle making, &toy making etc.
The Micro-enterprises development project implemented by BISWA (in 560 Acre of forest Land} is now
playing a vital role in socialization of the Leprosy-cured persons. Those working in different
production units including hand loom weaving, candle making, sisal work & get wages around Rs.350
to Rs.500 a month. Besides BISWA has also appointed its staff to monitor and supervise the project at
Hatibari. BISWA has established three SHGs among the women inmates there and among the women
of Santrapalli (120 acre of Land from 560 acre}. The member regularly holds meetings and other
awareness programmes. The total rehabilitated persons are 205 in Hatibari Health Home.
Not satisfied with their present income the inmates are now asking for wages at par with general
workers. In the words of Dr. K. C. Malick, "when the inmates start demanding for wages at par with
others in the outside world it gives me immense satisfaction. I feel that our sincere effort in building
the self confidence, awareness generation and process of reintegration has helped us in
mainstreaming them.
Take an example of LaxmidharPradhan of Boudh. He Looks after the agricultural activities. Utilising big
ponds in the project area has helped the inmates to grow huge quantity of cabbage, cauliflower,
brinjal. tomato and paddy this year.
The pisciculture ponds, papaya, mango, guava, cashew and Lemon orchards spread of several hundred
of acres of Land offer a perfect opportunity to the inmates to work in dignified way and Lead a decent
Life.
After keeping aside the required quantity of agricultural produce for use of the health home, the rest is
sold in the market. The earning from agricultural produce for use ofthe health home, the rest is sold in
the market. The earning from agriculture activity is slowly and yet steadily increasing ever since
BISWA took over from HKNS in the year 2003 and it is going to be one of the best self sustaining models
of rehabilitated persons.
The organisation pays Rs. 1. 7 5 Lakh Lease money per annum to the state government for a total of 563
acres of Land under the possession of Hatibari Health Home. "The total earning from different
economic activities carried out in the centre by October 31st 2009 was recorded at Rs. 1.87 Lakh,

indicating that days are not ahead when the centre would attract the world attention as a viable
economic model run by Leprosy cured persons," says Mr. Kulamani Dash, Program Manager, BISWA.
Very recently the District Magistrate and Collector, Sambalpur-Mr. Hemanta Kumar Dash visited the
Home to have a practical knowledge of the day to day affairs in the home. He was moved by the warm
welcome by the inmates and praised the efforts of BISWA. He also suggested for some new initiatives
for the economic empowerment of the inmates.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotton
To reach the target of 2 million toilets and 3 million water tap connections, BISWA is enhancing access to
safe and sustainable sanitation solutions for the rural households through micro-credit under the ambit
of 'Financial Inclusion Improves Sanitation and Health' (FINISH- An Indo-Dutch Collaboration) as a PPP
model.
The organisation has taken up the initiative to build eco-friendly toilets for the first time in Odisha. A
pilot demonstration of the ECOSAN model is constructed at Churali village of Puri district of Odisha. The
ECOSAN toilet is a very advanced and modern way of constructing a toilet which is truly sustainable.
Model Village sets an example in Water Connectivity
Against the backdrop of BISWA Huma-1 group SHG of Maneswar block unfolds an unique experiment
where 14 women were mobilized on 22nd October, 2009. They constructed household toilets on an
entrepreneurial basis which not only provided employment opportunities to those involved but also
made the Panchayat area clean, tidy and free from diseases arising out of poor sanitary conditions.
The wonder and the scenic beauty of Huma village's Leaning temple attract quite a volume of tourists
every year. But the lack of adequate and accessible places of convenience meant that villagers were
defecating openly causing severe discomfort to the visitors.
Huma -1 SHG members took sanitation loan from BISWA and started building double pit Individual
Household Latrines (IHL) in their premises. The members wanted to make the entire village a model
sanitation village and replicated the same model by creating SHGs Huma-2 and Huma-3 respectively.
Subsequently, they applied for financial assistance from BISWA to constructtoilets in their houses.
The group members also took active part in creating awareness in their community by observing World
Toilet Day and World Water Day in the village. Presently, the Hum a -1 SHG holds the recognition of the
2nd BEST BISWASHG award.
Reaching the poor through Sustainable Partnerships
High population density, erratic connection of water pipes and sewerage systems, and absence of good
governance practices compelled the slum dwellers of Bhubaneswar to get unauthorised connections
through illegal ways resulting in unhygienic environment.
With a vision to transform Bhubaneswar into an Open Defecation Free
(ODF) city through a City Sanitation Strategy (CSS), BISWA with the
technical support from USAID FIRE (D) and financial support from Michael
and Susan Dell Foundation (MSDF), proposed Bhubaneswar Slum
Upgrading Project in the Gyan-Nagar slum areas of Bhubaneswar city.
In this slum area, more than 80 households have been residing with
severely inadequate provisions of sanitation and drinking water
supply. BISWA's financial inclusion model provided for household
water supply connections and Individual Household Latrines (IHL). These resulted in tremendous
improvement of standard of Living in Gyan- Nagar slum.
BISWA's community intervention also resulted in empowering the slum women towards economic
achievements. The women members of BISWA Gouri group, BISWA Mangala group, BISWA Dhundia
group and BISWA Tarini group are now engaged in Papad making business.
US Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer during his visit to the project area appreciated the interventions of
BISWA.In his address he emphasised, "the need to elevate women's status," which subsequently, "wiLL
bring Women Empowerment and when women are empowered, community is empowered and
Ltimatelythecountrywillbe benefited."

river basins and water tables is one of the main objectives of the organisation in its areas of operation.
Due to improper maintenance and ignorance, traditional water harvesting structures are silting and
suffering eutrophication in most part of our state. Encroachment of this traditional structure is
another serious problem as the population is blooming at its highest rate. So, initiatives have been
taken to encourage construction of water harvesting structure in rural pockets of Western Odisha to
increase the surface water storage capacity. This finally will lead to increase in the ground water table
and easy availability of water during off season for human consumption.

To meet the rising water concerns, the organisation has brought an idea of
optimum utilisation of available water resources that ensures adequate
protection of the single crop which fails in Kharif season.
Under this intervention, a check dam was first constructed in 'Budapada' village
of Maneswar block with total area under irrigation of 125 acres and benefiting
60 farmers' family. The project in its second phase of implementation included
formation of farmers clubs and providing training to them on agriculture
intensification and diversification farming technologies. This helped them in
having two crops per year resulting in increased income and food security
round the year. The check dam built this way harvests rainwater, checks soil
erosion and brings stabilisation in the catchment areas and has proven to be a
successful strategy towards ground water and soil conservation.

The programmes are converged into each other to elicit maximum desirable outcomes and
sustainability. In this process, community is a direct stakeholder in all its projects as their participation
is right at the decision making Level. The ultimate aim is for a holistic development of the society which
is only possible through sustainability of the programmes. And sustainability, in turn, is possible only
through proper linkage of activities effectively implemented by the organisation, its agencies and

relevant skiLLs, knowledge and experience is represented on the Board. It keeps in mind the need to
maintain contacts with the local community and a membership that is balanced in terms of gender, age
and ethnicity.
The Board Members attend a meeting every month to ensure that the organisation is on the path to
prosperity by collectively directing its affairs, whilst meeting the appropriate interests of its
stakeholders. In addition to business and financial matters, the Board also deals with challenges relating
to governance and other relevant issues. The Board follows a systematic procedure to address the
compliance and other statutory requirements. It ensures compliance with governing document (e.g.,
charter), ensures accountability and compliance with laws and regulations and maintains proper fiscal
oversight. Lastyearin all such meetings all the members were present.
