Dear Friends,

APVVU, a long-term partner of AID, is organizing a Jatha to create awareness on the National Rural Employment Guarantee and Right to Information Acts, which will cover 100 villages in two Mandals in 10 days. APVVU Adivasi volunteers use Right to Information (RTI) to unearth the fraud and corruption issues in several government programs in the Mandal and work on proper implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).

APVVU Adivasi volunteers using Right to Information (RTI) to unearth the fraud and corruption issues in several government programs in the Mandal.  We expanded our work to Chinthapalli Mandal during last year to 4 Panchayats. In these two Mandals with the efforts of APVVU the Mandal level "Mate and Sramashakthi Sanghas Samaky" were formed. In the month of November 2011, APVVU conducted two training programs on NREGA to Adivasi labor in this Mandals. We recognize that these efforts are not sufficient when we see the gap of awareness levels in adivasis on NREGA and RTI. This we can identify from their lack of awareness on filing of work (F-4) and RTI applications. To bridge this gap with our little human power and resources we are going to organize 10 day Jeep Jatha in these Mandals. 5000 Adivasis – 100 villages – 10 days  The Jatha will cover 100 villages in two Mandals in 10 days and try to reach 5000 adivasis en route.  The objectives of Jatha Sharing information on basic rights in MGNREGA and RTI Distributing F-4 and RTI applications to villagers  Conducting village meetings and collecting issues on MGNREGS and registering complaints through toll free number 155321  Distributing pamphlets and pasting wall posters in the villages  Creating awareness through using songs, street play and Puppet show Collecting signatures on Memorandums  Screening of films  End of every day we screen film in a pre selected village focal point in the night We screen short films on MGNREGS and RTI and also pre recorded messages    Interface Meeting On the last day i.e. on 22nd of February 2012 an interface meeting will be organized in Chinthapalli with MGNREGS officials.     Jeep Jatha and Films screenings on NREGS in G.Madugual and Chithapalli Mandals of 5th Schedule area of Visakah Distirct of AP Click for Tentative Program Sheet
