Towards Proper Implementation Of FRA (Land Rights)

As a result of the continuous efforts of our Organization there is some breakthrough in the land rights. Seba Jagat would continue to bring about substantive changes in the operation of FRA, NREGS in two district of most backward region of Orissa-, however has great cultural, climatic and geographical potential for development - given the right political and economic environment. the food security of poor and vulnerable people is an issue attracting increasing regional and national attention, but progress has been slow. It needs strengthening local governance and advocacy for women`s collective action.
Seba Jagat would also help in creating space within adivasi communities to access information require for the need and deliberate. Seba Jagat would make sincere effort to organize women especially in its operational areas to put pressure on the existing service delivery mechanism. As women take greater share of family burden it is also visualize incapacitating these women towards exercising their choices.
Seba Jagat would try to gather support and cooperation from fellow civil society organizations/groups towards capacity building. While encouraging people to raise their voices Seba Jagat would help communities come out with best possible local solutions to the problems through micro-level planning. Micro level plans prepared would give scope to villagers for bargaining out maximum benefits out of different antipoverty, social security schemes.
