He is renowned as the founder, chairman, and managing director of One97 Communications, which was established in 1997. He further expanded his entrepreneurial ventures by creating Paytm, a popular consumer brand, in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing Sharma's expertise and contributions, the Universal Acceptance Steering Group appointed him as the UA Ambassador in India in January 2022. As of September 2022, Forbes estimated his net worth to be approximately $1.1 billion, showcasing his remarkable financial success.<\/p>\n<p>Born on July 15, 1978, in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, Sharma hails from a humble background. He grew up as the third of four children to Sulom Prakash, a school teacher, and Asha Sharma, a homemaker. Despite his modest beginnings, Sharma displayed exceptional intellect and became a college student at the age of 15. By the time he was 19, he had completed his studies at Delhi College of Engineering (now Delhi Technological University), earning a B.Tech degree.<\/p>\n<p>During his college years in 1997, Sharma initiated the website indiasite.net. Just two years later, he sold it for a substantial sum of $1 million. Building upon this early success, he founded One97 Communications in 2000. The company initially focused on mobile content offerings, such as news, cricket scores, ringtones, jokes, and exam results. One97 Communications later became the parent company of Paytm, which Sharma launched in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Paytm grew exponentially and became a leading digital payments and financial services company in India. In November 2021, the company achieved a significant milestone by going public, raising $2.5 billion with a valuation of $19 billion. This IPO marked India's largest initial public offering at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from his remarkable entrepreneurial achievements, Sharma is also actively involved as an angel investor, supporting various tech startups. Furthermore, he has been appointed as the UN Environment's 'Patron for Clean Air,' utilizing his influence to promote environmental action and awareness through the United Nations Environment's global Breathe Life campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Ayush-Chauhan-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ayush Chauhan\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Ayush Chauhan is one of the co-founders of Quicksand, a multi-disciplinary design and innovation con...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_6515_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanenergychallenge.whatdesigncando.com\/jury\/ayush-chauhan\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-link\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_6515_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Ayush Chauhan<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Co Founder, Quick Sand<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_6515_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Ayush-Chauhan-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ayush Chauhan\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/ayush-chauhan\/\">Ayush Chauhan<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Co Founder, Quick Sand<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanenergychallenge.whatdesigncando.com\/jury\/ayush-chauhan\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-link\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Ayush Chauhan is one of the co-founders of Quicksand, a multi-disciplinary design and innovation consultancy working at the intersection of business, development, and culture in India.

His comprehensive approach and dedication have paved the way for transformative changes in the Gram Panchayat.<\/p>\n<p>Narendra's initial efforts were focused on enhancing the quality of education and essential facilities in schools. He achieved an impressive 90% student registration and continuous follow-up in primary and secondary schools, promoting awareness about education and filling vacant classrooms. Additionally, he initiated the distribution and consumption of Take-Home Rations (THR) to improve the services of the Anganwadi Centers.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing local conflicts was another significant challenge, and Narendra took the lead in ensuring that the Panchayat became the primary forum for resolving grievances and conflicts. With the establishment of Shanti Samiti under the PESA Act, many cases are now resolved within the Panchayat, fostering peace and harmony in the community.<br \/>\nRecognizing the importance of collaboration, Narendra ensured the inclusion of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in the development of the Gram Panchayat. Regular SHG meetings and their active participation have contributed to the overall progress of the GP.<\/p>\n<p>As an aspirational leader, Narendra has a clear vision for the future of Kharjana. He plans to address rumors spread within the Panchayat and instill faith in its practices and processes. He envisions the Gram Sabha as the nodal point for addressing individual and collective needs, encouraging greater participation from villagers. Moreover, he aims to enhance health and education facilities in the Panchayat, further improving the well-being of the community.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing inspiration from the model village Hivrebazar, Narendra Kailash Mujhalda strives to turn Kharjana into a thriving and progressive community, setting an example for other regions to follow. With his dedication, passion, and collaborative spirit, he is determined to bring about positive and lasting change in the Gram Panchayat during his tenure as Sarpanch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Aliva-Das-300x300.jpeg\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Aliva Das\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Aliva Das leads Youth Initiative in TRIF particularly focused on 4 E \u2013 Employability, Entitlements...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7256_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/aliva-das-49829b33\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7256_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Aliva Das<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Associate Director, Transform Rural India<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7256_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Aliva-Das-300x300.jpeg\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Aliva Das\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:400px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/aliva-das\/\">Aliva Das<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Associate Director, Transform Rural India<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/aliva-das-49829b33\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Aliva Das leads Youth Initiative in TRIF particularly focused on 4 E \u2013 Employability, Entitlements, Education, Entrepreneurship.

In a male-dominant sector of politics, Laxmi, along with 10 other determined female members, established a powerful political identity in her Gram Panchayat (GP). Breaking barriers and defying traditional norms, they achieved an extraordinary dream, proving that ordinary women possess great strength.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her significant achievements, Laxmi faced numerous challenges in her role. The traditional perception of a male leader leading politically posed hurdles, even though the community elected her for the position. While they have gained acceptance through votes, establishing a GP mainly run by women remains a work in progress. Engaging all women voters in Gram Panchayat work also poses a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>To overcome these challenges, Laxmi became a governance change vector. Her competence in GP and standing committee work, as well as her proficiency in the GPDP process and tracking, have been instrumental in driving positive change. She mobilized women for Gram Sabha meetings and educated them about their rights, ensuring their active participation in the GP process. Regular GP meetings and transparency became the norm with women actively involved.<\/p>\n<p>Laxmi's vision in her present role is to continue empowering her community and promoting education for girls. She played a pivotal role in forming the standing committee and now shares her governance knowledge with other members. They are advocating for schools up to the 12th grade in their village, particularly for girls to have access to continued education. Additionally, she aims to establish learning centers for other school dropouts, ensuring education opportunities for all.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Laxmi aspires to provide essential health facilities to the villagers through a sub-center, contributing to the overall welfare of the community. In alignment with the current year's GPDP, she remains committed to working towards the betterment of her community, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of those she serves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Villa...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7971_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/sarita-devi\/\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Village, Namkum Block, Ranchi, Jharkhand. Her achievements exemplify her unwavering commitment to the welfare of women, children, and the elderly in her village.<\/p>\n<p>One of her most notable accomplishments is saving the lives of women and children during Institutional Delivery. She demonstrated exceptional bravery and quick thinking when she provided life-saving mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing to a newborn in the absence of a Skilled Birth Attendant.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond maternal and child health, Sarita has worked extensively for the elderly in her village. Her efforts have resulted in numerous elderly villagers gaining access to old age pensions and ration cards, bringing them much-needed support and security.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a care provider also comes with challenges. Ensuring complete ANC (Antenatal Care) for all pregnant women and complete immunization for children remains a persistent challenge, as some cases face delays due to household issues. Additionally, handling extreme cases of diarrhea outbreaks in the village and obtaining timely referral support can be daunting. Moreover, she faces resistance from certain individuals in the community, making it challenging to navigate such situations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these hurdles, Sarita exhibits resilience and determination. She leads by example in her household, demonstrating healthy habits to address anemia and malnutrition in women. Instead of being discouraged by unsupportive individuals, she chooses to counsel and engage them to promote positive change.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Sarita envisions a village where no one goes hungry and all essential services are accessible to every person. She advocates for extending benefits like PDS, pensions, and healthcare to everyone, aiming to break the cycle of poverty in her community. She encourages people to be productive and not waste their time, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-reliance among the villagers.<\/p>\n<p>Sarita Devi's unwavering dedication and compassion have made her a vital asset to her community, inspiring others to work together towards a brighter and more inclusive future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women i...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7975_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/jasma-kanoje\/\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women in her region. Recognizing the challenges faced by women, she actively voiced their concerns in Gramsabha, Village Organization (VO), and the Community Livelihood Forum (CLF). Her dedication and leadership qualities earned her the position of CLF Adhyakshy for Jeevan Jyoti CLF, representing 16 villages in the Palsud cluster.<\/p>\n<p>Under Jasma's guidance, Jeevan Jyoti CLF made significant strides towards women's empowerment. Producer Groups were established in each village, engaging in public procurement and microbusiness through processing units. The CLF also shared extraordinary success stories in health and education, contributing to the development of the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) and ensuring the saturation of government schemes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the journey wasn't without challenges. Acceptance from the community towards Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and their work posed a significant obstacle. Jasma tackled this by tirelessly visiting all 16 villages, creating awareness about SHGs, and gradually increasing acceptance. The allocation of loans to needy members further helped overcome resistance from families. As a CLF, they also advocate for their demands by sending letters to various government departments.

Over the span of 16 years, she has achieved remarkable milestones and positively impacted the lives of many in her community.<\/p>\n<p>In the early years of her career, Gayatri faced challenges in organizing Village Health, Sanitation, and Nutrition Days (VHSNDs) due to a lack of infrastructure. However, her persistent efforts and regular recommendations to supervisors and officials led to her obtaining a separate room in the ICDS office, ensuring smooth functioning and quality service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the struggles of some families who migrated, leaving their children alone, Gayatri took initiative to ensure no child went hungry. Using her stock of supplementary nutrition, she started feeding these children daily, continuing the practice for many others in need.<\/p>\n<p>Her dedication to education is evident through her efforts to re-admit two young girls, Nandini and Varsha, who had dropped out after the 5th class. She also actively promotes Ladli Laxmi Yojna registration for newborn girls and initiated C-SAM screening and NRC referrals through coordination with NHM staff.<\/p>\n<p>During the challenging times of COVID, Gayatri collaborated with the nearest sub-centre ANM to spread awareness about COVID vaccinations and quarantine facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the progress she has achieved, Gayatri has faced challenges, including the lack of adequate infrastructure and transportation. Convincing parents to avail the services of Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) also remains a hurdle.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Gayatri built linkages with local Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Village Organizations (VOs), allowing her to conduct home visits and reach beneficiaries more effectively. She also appreciates the support of ANMs in her area, which has facilitated the delivery of quality services to the community.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Gayatri Solanki envisions larger goals for providing adequate services to all. She aspires to create a playful learning environment within AWCs, similar to private play schools, to enhance children's learning and make it enjoyable. Additionally, she aims to establish stronger ties between AWCs and schools, emphasizing AWCs as the primary point of education for children before direct school admission.<\/p>\n<p>Through her unwavering dedication and forward-thinking approach, Gayatri continues to make a significant difference in her community, setting an inspiring example for others to follow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Nirmala-Meda-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nirmala Meda\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Nirmala Meda is a dedicated and passionate community leader, serving as the VO (Village Organization...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7979_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7979_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Nirmala Meda<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">VO Leader<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7979_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Nirmala-Meda-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nirmala Meda\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/nirmala-meda\/\">Nirmala Meda<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">VO Leader<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Nirmala Meda is a dedicated and passionate community leader, serving as the VO (Village Organization) Leader in Petlawad, Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh. Her relentless efforts have focused on combatting Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and promoting gender equality in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Nirmala's achievements in addressing GBV have been significant. Collaborating with various stakeholders such as NAK (Nari Adalat Kendra), LAK (Lok Adalat Kendra), Local Police, and One Stop Center, she has been actively creating awareness about gender discrimination. Her work with LAK has provided crucial support to multiple SHG members who have faced GBV, offering them a strong support system.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a leader comes with challenges. One of the main obstacles she faces is the lack of support from the community while assisting SHG members who are victims of GBV. Additionally, government departments and the Panchayat's assistance on issues related to entitlement and gender violence has been insufficient.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Nirmala adopts several proactive strategies. She regularly engages with Local Police to seek help in addressing gender-related issues. Moreover, she actively participates in the Gender Forum at both Panchayat and Block levels, where she advocates for community issues related to gender and entitlement. Being part of the SDM's Task Force at the Block Level allows her to raise these important matters effectively.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Nirmala's vision is to empower all SHG members in Petlawad to fight against gender discrimination and access government entitlement schemes. She aims to provide assistance to SHG members in obtaining land rights, fostering economic independence and gender equality within the community.<\/p>\n<p>Through her unwavering dedication and advocacy efforts, Nirmala Meda continues to make a meaningful impact in addressing gender-based challenges and promoting social justice in Petlawad. Her leadership and commitment inspire others to join the cause and work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ms-Geeta-Mahanand-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ms Geeta Mahanand\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Ms Geeta Mahanand is a dynamic Sarpanch of Risama Panchayat of Durg District.

in Kharjana. His comprehensive approach and dedication have paved the way for transformative changes in the Gram Panchayat.<\/p>\n<p>Narendra's initial efforts were focused on enhancing the quality of education and essential facilities in schools. He achieved an impressive 90% student registration and continuous follow-up in primary and secondary schools, promoting awareness about education and filling vacant classrooms. Additionally, he initiated the distribution and consumption of Take-Home Rations (THR) to improve the services of the Anganwadi Centers.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing local conflicts was another significant challenge, and Narendra took the lead in ensuring that the Panchayat became the primary forum for resolving grievances and conflicts. With the establishment of Shanti Samiti under the PESA Act, many cases are now resolved within the Panchayat, fostering peace and harmony in the community.<br \/>\nRecognizing the importance of collaboration, Narendra ensured the inclusion of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in the development of the Gram Panchayat. Regular SHG meetings and their active participation have contributed to the overall progress of the GP.<\/p>\n<p>As an aspirational leader, Narendra has a clear vision for the future of Kharjana. He plans to address rumors spread within the Panchayat and instill faith in its practices and processes. He envisions the Gram Sabha as the nodal point for addressing individual and collective needs, encouraging greater participation from villagers. Moreover, he aims to enhance health and education facilities in the Panchayat, further improving the well-being of the community.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing inspiration from the model village Hivrebazar, Narendra Kailash Mujhalda strives to turn Kharjana into a thriving and progressive community, setting an example for other regions to follow. With his dedication, passion, and collaborative spirit, he is determined to bring about positive and lasting change in the Gram Panchayat during his tenure as Sarpanch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nanda-Solanki-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nanda Solanki\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">She is treasurer of the CLF.

in Kharjana. His comprehensive approach and dedication have paved the way for transformative changes in the Gram Panchayat.<\/p>\n<p>Narendra's initial efforts were focused on enhancing the quality of education and essential facilities in schools. He achieved an impressive 90% student registration and continuous follow-up in primary and secondary schools, promoting awareness about education and filling vacant classrooms. Additionally, he initiated the distribution and consumption of Take-Home Rations (THR) to improve the services of the Anganwadi Centers.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing local conflicts was another significant challenge, and Narendra took the lead in ensuring that the Panchayat became the primary forum for resolving grievances and conflicts. With the establishment of Shanti Samiti under the PESA Act, many cases are now resolved within the Panchayat, fostering peace and harmony in the community.<br \/>\nRecognizing the importance of collaboration, Narendra ensured the inclusion of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in the development of the Gram Panchayat. Regular SHG meetings and their active participation have contributed to the overall progress of the GP.<\/p>\n<p>As an aspirational leader, Narendra has a clear vision for the future of Kharjana. He plans to address rumors spread within the Panchayat and instill faith in its practices and processes. He envisions the Gram Sabha as the nodal point for addressing individual and collective needs, encouraging greater participation from villagers. Moreover, he aims to enhance health and education facilities in the Panchayat, further improving the well-being of the community.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing inspiration from the model village Hivrebazar, Narendra Kailash Mujhalda strives to turn Kharjana into a thriving and progressive community, setting an example for other regions to follow. With his dedication, passion, and collaborative spirit, he is determined to bring about positive and lasting change in the Gram Panchayat during his tenure as Sarpanch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nanda-Solanki-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nanda Solanki\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">She is treasurer of the CLF.

He is renowned as the founder, chairman, and managing director of One97 Communications, which was established in 1997. He further expanded his entrepreneurial ventures by creating Paytm, a popular consumer brand, in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing Sharma's expertise and contributions, the Universal Acceptance Steering Group appointed him as the UA Ambassador in India in January 2022. As of September 2022, Forbes estimated his net worth to be approximately $1.1 billion, showcasing his remarkable financial success.<\/p>\n<p>Born on July 15, 1978, in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, Sharma hails from a humble background. He grew up as the third of four children to Sulom Prakash, a school teacher, and Asha Sharma, a homemaker. Despite his modest beginnings, Sharma displayed exceptional intellect and became a college student at the age of 15. By the time he was 19, he had completed his studies at Delhi College of Engineering (now Delhi Technological University), earning a B.Tech degree.<\/p>\n<p>During his college years in 1997, Sharma initiated the website indiasite.net. Just two years later, he sold it for a substantial sum of $1 million. Building upon this early success, he founded One97 Communications in 2000. The company initially focused on mobile content offerings, such as news, cricket scores, ringtones, jokes, and exam results. One97 Communications later became the parent company of Paytm, which Sharma launched in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Paytm grew exponentially and became a leading digital payments and financial services company in India. In November 2021, the company achieved a significant milestone by going public, raising $2.5 billion with a valuation of $19 billion. This IPO marked India's largest initial public offering at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from his remarkable entrepreneurial achievements, Sharma is also actively involved as an angel investor, supporting various tech startups. Furthermore, he has been appointed as the UN Environment's 'Patron for Clean Air,' utilizing his influence to promote environmental action and awareness through the United Nations Environment's global Breathe Life campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Ayush-Chauhan-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ayush Chauhan\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Ayush Chauhan is one of the co-founders of Quicksand, a multi-disciplinary design and innovation con...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_6515_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanenergychallenge.whatdesigncando.com\/jury\/ayush-chauhan\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-link\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_6515_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Ayush Chauhan<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Co Founder, Quick Sand<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_6515_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Ayush-Chauhan-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ayush Chauhan\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/ayush-chauhan\/\">Ayush Chauhan<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Co Founder, Quick Sand<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanenergychallenge.whatdesigncando.com\/jury\/ayush-chauhan\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-link\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Ayush Chauhan is one of the co-founders of Quicksand, a multi-disciplinary design and innovation consultancy working at the intersection of business, development, and culture in India.

His comprehensive approach and dedication have paved the way for transformative changes in the Gram Panchayat.<\/p>\n<p>Narendra's initial efforts were focused on enhancing the quality of education and essential facilities in schools. He achieved an impressive 90% student registration and continuous follow-up in primary and secondary schools, promoting awareness about education and filling vacant classrooms. Additionally, he initiated the distribution and consumption of Take-Home Rations (THR) to improve the services of the Anganwadi Centers.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing local conflicts was another significant challenge, and Narendra took the lead in ensuring that the Panchayat became the primary forum for resolving grievances and conflicts. With the establishment of Shanti Samiti under the PESA Act, many cases are now resolved within the Panchayat, fostering peace and harmony in the community.<br \/>\nRecognizing the importance of collaboration, Narendra ensured the inclusion of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in the development of the Gram Panchayat. Regular SHG meetings and their active participation have contributed to the overall progress of the GP.<\/p>\n<p>As an aspirational leader, Narendra has a clear vision for the future of Kharjana. He plans to address rumors spread within the Panchayat and instill faith in its practices and processes. He envisions the Gram Sabha as the nodal point for addressing individual and collective needs, encouraging greater participation from villagers. Moreover, he aims to enhance health and education facilities in the Panchayat, further improving the well-being of the community.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing inspiration from the model village Hivrebazar, Narendra Kailash Mujhalda strives to turn Kharjana into a thriving and progressive community, setting an example for other regions to follow. With his dedication, passion, and collaborative spirit, he is determined to bring about positive and lasting change in the Gram Panchayat during his tenure as Sarpanch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Aliva-Das-300x300.jpeg\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Aliva Das\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Aliva Das leads Youth Initiative in TRIF particularly focused on 4 E \u2013 Employability, Entitlements...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7256_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/aliva-das-49829b33\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7256_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Aliva Das<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Associate Director, Transform Rural India<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7256_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Aliva-Das-300x300.jpeg\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Aliva Das\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:400px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/aliva-das\/\">Aliva Das<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Associate Director, Transform Rural India<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/aliva-das-49829b33\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Aliva Das leads Youth Initiative in TRIF particularly focused on 4 E \u2013 Employability, Entitlements, Education, Entrepreneurship.

In a male-dominant sector of politics, Laxmi, along with 10 other determined female members, established a powerful political identity in her Gram Panchayat (GP). Breaking barriers and defying traditional norms, they achieved an extraordinary dream, proving that ordinary women possess great strength.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her significant achievements, Laxmi faced numerous challenges in her role. The traditional perception of a male leader leading politically posed hurdles, even though the community elected her for the position. While they have gained acceptance through votes, establishing a GP mainly run by women remains a work in progress. Engaging all women voters in Gram Panchayat work also poses a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>To overcome these challenges, Laxmi became a governance change vector. Her competence in GP and standing committee work, as well as her proficiency in the GPDP process and tracking, have been instrumental in driving positive change. She mobilized women for Gram Sabha meetings and educated them about their rights, ensuring their active participation in the GP process. Regular GP meetings and transparency became the norm with women actively involved.<\/p>\n<p>Laxmi's vision in her present role is to continue empowering her community and promoting education for girls. She played a pivotal role in forming the standing committee and now shares her governance knowledge with other members. They are advocating for schools up to the 12th grade in their village, particularly for girls to have access to continued education. Additionally, she aims to establish learning centers for other school dropouts, ensuring education opportunities for all.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Laxmi aspires to provide essential health facilities to the villagers through a sub-center, contributing to the overall welfare of the community. In alignment with the current year's GPDP, she remains committed to working towards the betterment of her community, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of those she serves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Villa...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7971_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/sarita-devi\/\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Village, Namkum Block, Ranchi, Jharkhand. Her achievements exemplify her unwavering commitment to the welfare of women, children, and the elderly in her village.<\/p>\n<p>One of her most notable accomplishments is saving the lives of women and children during Institutional Delivery. She demonstrated exceptional bravery and quick thinking when she provided life-saving mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing to a newborn in the absence of a Skilled Birth Attendant.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond maternal and child health, Sarita has worked extensively for the elderly in her village. Her efforts have resulted in numerous elderly villagers gaining access to old age pensions and ration cards, bringing them much-needed support and security.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a care provider also comes with challenges. Ensuring complete ANC (Antenatal Care) for all pregnant women and complete immunization for children remains a persistent challenge, as some cases face delays due to household issues. Additionally, handling extreme cases of diarrhea outbreaks in the village and obtaining timely referral support can be daunting. Moreover, she faces resistance from certain individuals in the community, making it challenging to navigate such situations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these hurdles, Sarita exhibits resilience and determination. She leads by example in her household, demonstrating healthy habits to address anemia and malnutrition in women. Instead of being discouraged by unsupportive individuals, she chooses to counsel and engage them to promote positive change.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Sarita envisions a village where no one goes hungry and all essential services are accessible to every person. She advocates for extending benefits like PDS, pensions, and healthcare to everyone, aiming to break the cycle of poverty in her community. She encourages people to be productive and not waste their time, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-reliance among the villagers.<\/p>\n<p>Sarita Devi's unwavering dedication and compassion have made her a vital asset to her community, inspiring others to work together towards a brighter and more inclusive future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women i...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7975_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/jasma-kanoje\/\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women in her region. Recognizing the challenges faced by women, she actively voiced their concerns in Gramsabha, Village Organization (VO), and the Community Livelihood Forum (CLF). Her dedication and leadership qualities earned her the position of CLF Adhyakshy for Jeevan Jyoti CLF, representing 16 villages in the Palsud cluster.<\/p>\n<p>Under Jasma's guidance, Jeevan Jyoti CLF made significant strides towards women's empowerment. Producer Groups were established in each village, engaging in public procurement and microbusiness through processing units. The CLF also shared extraordinary success stories in health and education, contributing to the development of the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) and ensuring the saturation of government schemes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the journey wasn't without challenges. Acceptance from the community towards Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and their work posed a significant obstacle. Jasma tackled this by tirelessly visiting all 16 villages, creating awareness about SHGs, and gradually increasing acceptance. The allocation of loans to needy members further helped overcome resistance from families. As a CLF, they also advocate for their demands by sending letters to various government departments.

Over the span of 16 years, she has achieved remarkable milestones and positively impacted the lives of many in her community.<\/p>\n<p>In the early years of her career, Gayatri faced challenges in organizing Village Health, Sanitation, and Nutrition Days (VHSNDs) due to a lack of infrastructure. However, her persistent efforts and regular recommendations to supervisors and officials led to her obtaining a separate room in the ICDS office, ensuring smooth functioning and quality service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the struggles of some families who migrated, leaving their children alone, Gayatri took initiative to ensure no child went hungry. Using her stock of supplementary nutrition, she started feeding these children daily, continuing the practice for many others in need.<\/p>\n<p>Her dedication to education is evident through her efforts to re-admit two young girls, Nandini and Varsha, who had dropped out after the 5th class. She also actively promotes Ladli Laxmi Yojna registration for newborn girls and initiated C-SAM screening and NRC referrals through coordination with NHM staff.<\/p>\n<p>During the challenging times of COVID, Gayatri collaborated with the nearest sub-centre ANM to spread awareness about COVID vaccinations and quarantine facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the progress she has achieved, Gayatri has faced challenges, including the lack of adequate infrastructure and transportation. Convincing parents to avail the services of Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) also remains a hurdle.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Gayatri built linkages with local Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Village Organizations (VOs), allowing her to conduct home visits and reach beneficiaries more effectively. She also appreciates the support of ANMs in her area, which has facilitated the delivery of quality services to the community.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Gayatri Solanki envisions larger goals for providing adequate services to all. She aspires to create a playful learning environment within AWCs, similar to private play schools, to enhance children's learning and make it enjoyable. Additionally, she aims to establish stronger ties between AWCs and schools, emphasizing AWCs as the primary point of education for children before direct school admission.<\/p>\n<p>Through her unwavering dedication and forward-thinking approach, Gayatri continues to make a significant difference in her community, setting an inspiring example for others to follow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Nirmala-Meda-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nirmala Meda\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Nirmala Meda is a dedicated and passionate community leader, serving as the VO (Village Organization...<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7979_6\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7979_6\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Nirmala Meda<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">VO Leader<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7979_6\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_6 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Nirmala-Meda-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nirmala Meda\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/nirmala-meda\/\">Nirmala Meda<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">VO Leader<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Nirmala Meda is a dedicated and passionate community leader, serving as the VO (Village Organization) Leader in Petlawad, Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh. Her relentless efforts have focused on combatting Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and promoting gender equality in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Nirmala's achievements in addressing GBV have been significant. Collaborating with various stakeholders such as NAK (Nari Adalat Kendra), LAK (Lok Adalat Kendra), Local Police, and One Stop Center, she has been actively creating awareness about gender discrimination. Her work with LAK has provided crucial support to multiple SHG members who have faced GBV, offering them a strong support system.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a leader comes with challenges. One of the main obstacles she faces is the lack of support from the community while assisting SHG members who are victims of GBV. Additionally, government departments and the Panchayat's assistance on issues related to entitlement and gender violence has been insufficient.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Nirmala adopts several proactive strategies. She regularly engages with Local Police to seek help in addressing gender-related issues. Moreover, she actively participates in the Gender Forum at both Panchayat and Block levels, where she advocates for community issues related to gender and entitlement. Being part of the SDM's Task Force at the Block Level allows her to raise these important matters effectively.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Nirmala's vision is to empower all SHG members in Petlawad to fight against gender discrimination and access government entitlement schemes. She aims to provide assistance to SHG members in obtaining land rights, fostering economic independence and gender equality within the community.<\/p>\n<p>Through her unwavering dedication and advocacy efforts, Nirmala Meda continues to make a meaningful impact in addressing gender-based challenges and promoting social justice in Petlawad. Her leadership and commitment inspire others to join the cause and work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ms-Geeta-Mahanand-300x300.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ms Geeta Mahanand\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Ms Geeta Mahanand is a dynamic Sarpanch of Risama Panchayat of Durg District.

He is renowned as the founder, chairman, and managing director of One97 Communications, which was established in 1997. He further expanded his entrepreneurial ventures by creating Paytm, a popular consumer brand, in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing Sharma&#8217;s expertise and contributions, the Universal Acceptance Steering Group appointed him as the UA Ambassador in India in January 2022. As of September 2022, Forbes estimated his net worth to be approximately $1.1 billion, showcasing his remarkable financial success.<\/p>\n<p>Born on July 15, 1978, in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, Sharma hails from a humble background. He grew up as the third of four children to Sulom Prakash, a school teacher, and Asha Sharma, a homemaker. Despite his modest beginnings, Sharma displayed exceptional intellect and became a college student at the age of 15. By the time he was 19, he had completed his studies at Delhi College of Engineering (now Delhi Technological University), earning a B.Tech degree.<\/p>\n<p>During his college years in 1997, Sharma initiated the website indiasite.net. Just two years later, he sold it for a substantial sum of $1 million. Building upon this early success, he founded One97 Communications in 2000. The company initially focused on mobile content offerings, such as news, cricket scores, ringtones, jokes, and exam results. One97 Communications later became the parent company of Paytm, which Sharma launched in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Paytm grew exponentially and became a leading digital payments and financial services company in India. In November 2021, the company achieved a significant milestone by going public, raising $2.5 billion with a valuation of $19 billion. This IPO marked India&#8217;s largest initial public offering at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from his remarkable entrepreneurial achievements, Sharma is also actively involved as an angel investor, supporting various tech startups. Furthermore, he has been appointed as the UN Environment&#8217;s &#8216;Patron for Clean Air,&#8217; utilizing his influence to promote environmental action and awareness through the United Nations Environment&#8217;s global Breathe Life campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/taranbir.jpeg\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Taranbir Singh\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:225px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Taranbir Singh, a visionary entrepreneur hailing from Punjab, brings a wealth of experience from the&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7260_34\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/taranbir-singh-44951714\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7260_34\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Taranbir Singh<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CEO and Co-founder Faarms<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7260_34\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_34 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/taranbir.jpeg\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Taranbir Singh\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:225px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/taranbir-singh\/\">Taranbir Singh<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CEO and Co-founder Faarms<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n    <ul class=\"gs-team-social\">\n\n            \n        \n        <li>\n            <a class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/taranbir-singh-44951714\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"sameAs\"><i class=\"fa fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>        <\/li>\n\n            \n    <\/ul>\n\n    \n\n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Taranbir Singh, a visionary entrepreneur hailing from Punjab, brings a wealth of experience from the rural banking divisions of India&#8217;s esteemed institutions, including HDFC and ING Vysya Bank.

The accepted conventions about producing and distributing standardized products and services to serve the \u201ceconomy of scale\u201d are being replaced by flexible, networked and tailored offerings in an \u201ceconomy of choice.\u201d Whether a government agency, hospital, auto manufacturer, publisher, investment fund, or a large NGO, organizations need greater flexibility, responsiveness and speed that design solutions provide. This session will explore advanced design frameworks and methods that enable people and NGOS, the private sector and government agencies to respond to complex opportunities and problems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24783c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"24783c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\n\t<div id=\"gs_team_area_37\" class=\"wrap gs_team_area gs_team_loading gs_tm_theme7 gs_tm_theme_v_1\" data-options='{\"search_through_all_fields\":\"off\",\"enable_clear_filters\":\"off\",\"reset_filters_text\":\"Reset Filters\",\"enable_multi_select\":\"off\",\"multi_select_ellipsis\":\"off\"}' style=\"visibility: hidden; opacity: 0;\">\n\n\t\t\n<!-- Container for Team members -->\n<div class=\"gs-containeer\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"gs-roow clearfix\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team slider gs-col-md-12 owl-carousel owl-theme carousel-has-navs carousel-navs--default\" data-carousel-desktop=4 data-carousel-tablet=3 data-carousel-mobile-portrait=2 data-carousel-mobile=1>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Patrick-Whitney.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Patrick Whitney\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Patrick Whitney is a Professor in Residence at the Harvard T.H.

India&#8217;s rural landscape has long faced challenges in delivering essential services due to factors such as low population density and high transaction costs. Access to quality healthcare, education, financial services, and other essential facilities has remained limited, posing barriers to inclusive growth and development of rural communities. However, the advent of India&#8217;s many digital public infrastructure (India Stack and more) has the potential to revolutionize service delivery, transforming the lives of rural residents and ushering in a rural renaissance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3be9b80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"3be9b80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\n\t<div id=\"gs_team_area_39\" class=\"wrap gs_team_area gs_team_loading gs_tm_theme7 gs_tm_theme_v_1\" data-options='{\"search_through_all_fields\":\"off\",\"enable_clear_filters\":\"off\",\"reset_filters_text\":\"Reset Filters\",\"enable_multi_select\":\"off\",\"multi_select_ellipsis\":\"off\"}' style=\"visibility: hidden;

With over fifty percent of rural India\u2019s output coming from outside of cultivation, it resembles a \u201csunken peasant habitat,\u201d interacting with fast changing economic, social and environmental factors.

Regular SHG meetings and their active participation have contributed to the overall progress of the GP.<\/p>\n<p>As an aspirational leader, Narendra has a clear vision for the future of Kharjana. He plans to address rumors spread within the Panchayat and instill faith in its practices and processes. He envisions the Gram Sabha as the nodal point for addressing individual and collective needs, encouraging greater participation from villagers. Moreover, he aims to enhance health and education facilities in the Panchayat, further improving the well-being of the community.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing inspiration from the model village Hivrebazar, Narendra Kailash Mujhalda strives to turn Kharjana into a thriving and progressive community, setting an example for other regions to follow.

In a male-dominant sector of politics, Laxmi, along with 10 other determined female members, established a powerful political identity in her Gram Panchayat (GP). Breaking barriers and defying traditional norms, they achieved an extraordinary dream, proving that ordinary women possess great strength.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her significant achievements, Laxmi faced numerous challenges in her role. The traditional perception of a male leader leading politically posed hurdles, even though the community elected her for the position. While they have gained acceptance through votes, establishing a GP mainly run by women remains a work in progress. Engaging all women voters in Gram Panchayat work also poses a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>To overcome these challenges, Laxmi became a governance change vector. Her competence in GP and standing committee work, as well as her proficiency in the GPDP process and tracking, have been instrumental in driving positive change. She mobilized women for Gram Sabha meetings and educated them about their rights, ensuring their active participation in the GP process. Regular GP meetings and transparency became the norm with women actively involved.<\/p>\n<p>Laxmi&#8217;s vision in her present role is to continue empowering her community and promoting education for girls. She played a pivotal role in forming the standing committee and now shares her governance knowledge with other members. They are advocating for schools up to the 12th grade in their village, particularly for girls to have access to continued education. Additionally, she aims to establish learning centers for other school dropouts, ensuring education opportunities for all.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Laxmi aspires to provide essential health facilities to the villagers through a sub-center, contributing to the overall welfare of the community. In alignment with the current year&#8217;s GPDP, she remains committed to working towards the betterment of her community, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of those she serves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Villa&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_42\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_42\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7971_42\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_42 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/sarita-devi\/\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Village, Namkum Block, Ranchi, Jharkhand. Her achievements exemplify her unwavering commitment to the welfare of women, children, and the elderly in her village.<\/p>\n<p>One of her most notable accomplishments is saving the lives of women and children during Institutional Delivery. She demonstrated exceptional bravery and quick thinking when she provided life-saving mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing to a newborn in the absence of a Skilled Birth Attendant.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond maternal and child health, Sarita has worked extensively for the elderly in her village. Her efforts have resulted in numerous elderly villagers gaining access to old age pensions and ration cards, bringing them much-needed support and security.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a care provider also comes with challenges. Ensuring complete ANC (Antenatal Care) for all pregnant women and complete immunization for children remains a persistent challenge, as some cases face delays due to household issues. Additionally, handling extreme cases of diarrhea outbreaks in the village and obtaining timely referral support can be daunting. Moreover, she faces resistance from certain individuals in the community, making it challenging to navigate such situations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these hurdles, Sarita exhibits resilience and determination. She leads by example in her household, demonstrating healthy habits to address anemia and malnutrition in women. Instead of being discouraged by unsupportive individuals, she chooses to counsel and engage them to promote positive change.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Sarita envisions a village where no one goes hungry and all essential services are accessible to every person. She advocates for extending benefits like PDS, pensions, and healthcare to everyone, aiming to break the cycle of poverty in her community. She encourages people to be productive and not waste their time, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-reliance among the villagers.<\/p>\n<p>Sarita Devi&#8217;s unwavering dedication and compassion have made her a vital asset to her community, inspiring others to work together towards a brighter and more inclusive future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women i&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_42\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_42\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7975_42\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_42 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/jasma-kanoje\/\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women in her region. Recognizing the challenges faced by women, she actively voiced their concerns in Gramsabha, Village Organization (VO), and the Community Livelihood Forum (CLF). Her dedication and leadership qualities earned her the position of CLF Adhyakshy for Jeevan Jyoti CLF, representing 16 villages in the Palsud cluster.<\/p>\n<p>Under Jasma&#8217;s guidance, Jeevan Jyoti CLF made significant strides towards women&#8217;s empowerment. Producer Groups were established in each village, engaging in public procurement and microbusiness through processing units. The CLF also shared extraordinary success stories in health and education, contributing to the development of the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) and ensuring the saturation of government schemes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the journey wasn&#8217;t without challenges. Acceptance from the community towards Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and their work posed a significant obstacle. Jasma tackled this by tirelessly visiting all 16 villages, creating awareness about SHGs, and gradually increasing acceptance. The allocation of loans to needy members further helped overcome resistance from families. As a CLF, they also advocate for their demands by sending letters to various government departments. Currently, they are striving to establish a CLF Bhavan and are actively approaching concerned authorities for support.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Jasma Kanoje envisions creating business opportunities to increase the income of all women in her cluster. Her commitment to women&#8217;s empowerment, combined with her strategic approach, continues to inspire positive change in the community. Through her efforts, she seeks to uplift the lives of women and foster sustainable economic growth, making a lasting impact on the entire region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gayatri-Solanki.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Gayatri Solanki\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Gayatri Solanki is a dedicated Anganwadi Worker (AWW) in Singhana, Manawar, Dhar district, Madhya Pr&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7977_42\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7977_42\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Gayatri Solanki<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">AWW Singhana<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7977_42\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_42 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gayatri-Solanki.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Gayatri Solanki\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/gayatri-solanki\/\">Gayatri Solanki<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">AWW Singhana<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Gayatri Solanki is a dedicated Anganwadi Worker (AWW) in Singhana, Manawar, Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh. Over the span of 16 years, she has achieved remarkable milestones and positively impacted the lives of many in her community.<\/p>\n<p>In the early years of her career, Gayatri faced challenges in organizing Village Health, Sanitation, and Nutrition Days (VHSNDs) due to a lack of infrastructure. However, her persistent efforts and regular recommendations to supervisors and officials led to her obtaining a separate room in the ICDS office, ensuring smooth functioning and quality service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the struggles of some families who migrated, leaving their children alone, Gayatri took initiative to ensure no child went hungry. Using her stock of supplementary nutrition, she started feeding these children daily, continuing the practice for many others in need.<\/p>\n<p>Her dedication to education is evident through her efforts to re-admit two young girls, Nandini and Varsha, who had dropped out after the 5th class. She also actively promotes Ladli Laxmi Yojna registration for newborn girls and initiated C-SAM screening and NRC referrals through coordination with NHM staff.<\/p>\n<p>During the challenging times of COVID, Gayatri collaborated with the nearest sub-centre ANM to spread awareness about COVID vaccinations and quarantine facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the progress she has achieved, Gayatri has faced challenges, including the lack of adequate infrastructure and transportation. Convincing parents to avail the services of Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) also remains a hurdle.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Gayatri built linkages with local Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Village Organizations (VOs), allowing her to conduct home visits and reach beneficiaries more effectively. She also appreciates the support of ANMs in her area, which has facilitated the delivery of quality services to the community.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Gayatri Solanki envisions larger goals for providing adequate services to all. She aspires to create a playful learning environment within AWCs, similar to private play schools, to enhance children&#8217;s learning and make it enjoyable.

Her relentless efforts have focused on combatting Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and promoting gender equality in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Nirmala&#8217;s achievements in addressing GBV have been significant. Collaborating with various stakeholders such as NAK (Nari Adalat Kendra), LAK (Lok Adalat Kendra), Local Police, and One Stop Center, she has been actively creating awareness about gender discrimination. Her work with LAK has provided crucial support to multiple SHG members who have faced GBV, offering them a strong support system.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a leader comes with challenges. One of the main obstacles she faces is the lack of support from the community while assisting SHG members who are victims of GBV. Additionally, government departments and the Panchayat&#8217;s assistance on issues related to entitlement and gender violence has been insufficient.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Nirmala adopts several proactive strategies. She regularly engages with Local Police to seek help in addressing gender-related issues. Moreover, she actively participates in the Gender Forum at both Panchayat and Block levels, where she advocates for community issues related to gender and entitlement. Being part of the SDM&#8217;s Task Force at the Block Level allows her to raise these important matters effectively.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Nirmala&#8217;s vision is to empower all SHG members in Petlawad to fight against gender discrimination and access government entitlement schemes. She aims to provide assistance to SHG members in obtaining land rights, fostering economic independence and gender equality within the community.<\/p>\n<p>Through her unwavering dedication and advocacy efforts, Nirmala Meda continues to make a meaningful impact in addressing gender-based challenges and promoting social justice in Petlawad. Her leadership and commitment inspire others to join the cause and work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ms-Geeta-Mahanand.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ms Geeta Mahanand\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Ms Geeta Mahanand is a dynamic Sarpanch of Risama Panchayat of Durg District.

Many studies establish the efficiency of government-led redistribution and the delivery of government-led development services as critical to building a just society. For millennia the Indian state has traditions reflected in rights over Jal, Jangal, Jameen that are still present along with colonial administration overhangs. On this rich and varied mosaic, the modern Indian welfare and development administration has been overlaid at different points of time without keeping territorial integrity at the cutting edge of citizen inter-face. This session explores the ground-up view of the complex Indian State system and explores the interlocking levers of change that a citizen can exercise while engaging with her public representatives, duty-bearers and service providers<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a2bd32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"5a2bd32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\n\t<div id=\"gs_team_area_42\" class=\"wrap gs_team_area gs_team_loading gs_tm_theme7 gs_tm_theme_v_1\" data-options='{\"search_through_all_fields\":\"off\",\"enable_clear_filters\":\"off\",\"reset_filters_text\":\"Reset Filters\",\"enable_multi_select\":\"off\",\"multi_select_ellipsis\":\"off\"}' style=\"visibility: hidden;

His comprehensive approach and dedication have paved the way for transformative changes in the Gram Panchayat.<\/p>\n<p>Narendra&#8217;s initial efforts were focused on enhancing the quality of education and essential facilities in schools. He achieved an impressive 90% student registration and continuous follow-up in primary and secondary schools, promoting awareness about education and filling vacant classrooms. Additionally, he initiated the distribution and consumption of Take-Home Rations (THR) to improve the services of the Anganwadi Centers.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing local conflicts was another significant challenge, and Narendra took the lead in ensuring that the Panchayat became the primary forum for resolving grievances and conflicts. With the establishment of Shanti Samiti under the PESA Act, many cases are now resolved within the Panchayat, fostering peace and harmony in the community.<br \/>\nRecognizing the importance of collaboration, Narendra ensured the inclusion of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in the development of the Gram Panchayat. Regular SHG meetings and their active participation have contributed to the overall progress of the GP.<\/p>\n<p>As an aspirational leader, Narendra has a clear vision for the future of Kharjana. He plans to address rumors spread within the Panchayat and instill faith in its practices and processes.

In a male-dominant sector of politics, Laxmi, along with 10 other determined female members, established a powerful political identity in her Gram Panchayat (GP). Breaking barriers and defying traditional norms, they achieved an extraordinary dream, proving that ordinary women possess great strength.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her significant achievements, Laxmi faced numerous challenges in her role. The traditional perception of a male leader leading politically posed hurdles, even though the community elected her for the position. While they have gained acceptance through votes, establishing a GP mainly run by women remains a work in progress. Engaging all women voters in Gram Panchayat work also poses a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>To overcome these challenges, Laxmi became a governance change vector. Her competence in GP and standing committee work, as well as her proficiency in the GPDP process and tracking, have been instrumental in driving positive change. She mobilized women for Gram Sabha meetings and educated them about their rights, ensuring their active participation in the GP process. Regular GP meetings and transparency became the norm with women actively involved.<\/p>\n<p>Laxmi&#8217;s vision in her present role is to continue empowering her community and promoting education for girls. She played a pivotal role in forming the standing committee and now shares her governance knowledge with other members. They are advocating for schools up to the 12th grade in their village, particularly for girls to have access to continued education. Additionally, she aims to establish learning centers for other school dropouts, ensuring education opportunities for all.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Laxmi aspires to provide essential health facilities to the villagers through a sub-center, contributing to the overall welfare of the community. In alignment with the current year&#8217;s GPDP, she remains committed to working towards the betterment of her community, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of those she serves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Villa&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_42\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_42\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7971_42\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_42 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/sarita-devi\/\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Village, Namkum Block, Ranchi, Jharkhand. Her achievements exemplify her unwavering commitment to the welfare of women, children, and the elderly in her village.<\/p>\n<p>One of her most notable accomplishments is saving the lives of women and children during Institutional Delivery. She demonstrated exceptional bravery and quick thinking when she provided life-saving mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing to a newborn in the absence of a Skilled Birth Attendant.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond maternal and child health, Sarita has worked extensively for the elderly in her village. Her efforts have resulted in numerous elderly villagers gaining access to old age pensions and ration cards, bringing them much-needed support and security.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a care provider also comes with challenges. Ensuring complete ANC (Antenatal Care) for all pregnant women and complete immunization for children remains a persistent challenge, as some cases face delays due to household issues. Additionally, handling extreme cases of diarrhea outbreaks in the village and obtaining timely referral support can be daunting. Moreover, she faces resistance from certain individuals in the community, making it challenging to navigate such situations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these hurdles, Sarita exhibits resilience and determination. She leads by example in her household, demonstrating healthy habits to address anemia and malnutrition in women. Instead of being discouraged by unsupportive individuals, she chooses to counsel and engage them to promote positive change.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Sarita envisions a village where no one goes hungry and all essential services are accessible to every person. She advocates for extending benefits like PDS, pensions, and healthcare to everyone, aiming to break the cycle of poverty in her community. She encourages people to be productive and not waste their time, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-reliance among the villagers.<\/p>\n<p>Sarita Devi&#8217;s unwavering dedication and compassion have made her a vital asset to her community, inspiring others to work together towards a brighter and more inclusive future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women i&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_42\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_42\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7975_42\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_42 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/jasma-kanoje\/\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women in her region. Recognizing the challenges faced by women, she actively voiced their concerns in Gramsabha, Village Organization (VO), and the Community Livelihood Forum (CLF). Her dedication and leadership qualities earned her the position of CLF Adhyakshy for Jeevan Jyoti CLF, representing 16 villages in the Palsud cluster.<\/p>\n<p>Under Jasma&#8217;s guidance, Jeevan Jyoti CLF made significant strides towards women&#8217;s empowerment. Producer Groups were established in each village, engaging in public procurement and microbusiness through processing units. The CLF also shared extraordinary success stories in health and education, contributing to the development of the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) and ensuring the saturation of government schemes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the journey wasn&#8217;t without challenges. Acceptance from the community towards Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and their work posed a significant obstacle. Jasma tackled this by tirelessly visiting all 16 villages, creating awareness about SHGs, and gradually increasing acceptance. The allocation of loans to needy members further helped overcome resistance from families. As a CLF, they also advocate for their demands by sending letters to various government departments.

Over the span of 16 years, she has achieved remarkable milestones and positively impacted the lives of many in her community.<\/p>\n<p>In the early years of her career, Gayatri faced challenges in organizing Village Health, Sanitation, and Nutrition Days (VHSNDs) due to a lack of infrastructure. However, her persistent efforts and regular recommendations to supervisors and officials led to her obtaining a separate room in the ICDS office, ensuring smooth functioning and quality service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the struggles of some families who migrated, leaving their children alone, Gayatri took initiative to ensure no child went hungry. Using her stock of supplementary nutrition, she started feeding these children daily, continuing the practice for many others in need.<\/p>\n<p>Her dedication to education is evident through her efforts to re-admit two young girls, Nandini and Varsha, who had dropped out after the 5th class. She also actively promotes Ladli Laxmi Yojna registration for newborn girls and initiated C-SAM screening and NRC referrals through coordination with NHM staff.<\/p>\n<p>During the challenging times of COVID, Gayatri collaborated with the nearest sub-centre ANM to spread awareness about COVID vaccinations and quarantine facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the progress she has achieved, Gayatri has faced challenges, including the lack of adequate infrastructure and transportation. Convincing parents to avail the services of Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) also remains a hurdle.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Gayatri built linkages with local Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Village Organizations (VOs), allowing her to conduct home visits and reach beneficiaries more effectively. She also appreciates the support of ANMs in her area, which has facilitated the delivery of quality services to the community.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Gayatri Solanki envisions larger goals for providing adequate services to all. She aspires to create a playful learning environment within AWCs, similar to private play schools, to enhance children&#8217;s learning and make it enjoyable. Additionally, she aims to establish stronger ties between AWCs and schools, emphasizing AWCs as the primary point of education for children before direct school admission.<\/p>\n<p>Through her unwavering dedication and forward-thinking approach, Gayatri continues to make a significant difference in her community, setting an inspiring example for others to follow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Nirmala-Meda.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nirmala Meda\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Nirmala Meda is a dedicated and passionate community leader, serving as the VO (Village Organization&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7979_42\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7979_42\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Nirmala Meda<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">VO Leader<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7979_42\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_42 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Nirmala-Meda.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nirmala Meda\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/nirmala-meda\/\">Nirmala Meda<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">VO Leader<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Nirmala Meda is a dedicated and passionate community leader, serving as the VO (Village Organization) Leader in Petlawad, Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh. Her relentless efforts have focused on combatting Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and promoting gender equality in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Nirmala&#8217;s achievements in addressing GBV have been significant. Collaborating with various stakeholders such as NAK (Nari Adalat Kendra), LAK (Lok Adalat Kendra), Local Police, and One Stop Center, she has been actively creating awareness about gender discrimination. Her work with LAK has provided crucial support to multiple SHG members who have faced GBV, offering them a strong support system.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a leader comes with challenges. One of the main obstacles she faces is the lack of support from the community while assisting SHG members who are victims of GBV. Additionally, government departments and the Panchayat&#8217;s assistance on issues related to entitlement and gender violence has been insufficient.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Nirmala adopts several proactive strategies. She regularly engages with Local Police to seek help in addressing gender-related issues. Moreover, she actively participates in the Gender Forum at both Panchayat and Block levels, where she advocates for community issues related to gender and entitlement. Being part of the SDM&#8217;s Task Force at the Block Level allows her to raise these important matters effectively.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Nirmala&#8217;s vision is to empower all SHG members in Petlawad to fight against gender discrimination and access government entitlement schemes. She aims to provide assistance to SHG members in obtaining land rights, fostering economic independence and gender equality within the community.<\/p>\n<p>Through her unwavering dedication and advocacy efforts, Nirmala Meda continues to make a meaningful impact in addressing gender-based challenges and promoting social justice in Petlawad. Her leadership and commitment inspire others to join the cause and work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ms-Geeta-Mahanand.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ms Geeta Mahanand\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Ms Geeta Mahanand is a dynamic Sarpanch of Risama Panchayat of Durg District.

His comprehensive approach and dedication have paved the way for transformative changes in the Gram Panchayat.<\/p>\n<p>Narendra&#8217;s initial efforts were focused on enhancing the quality of education and essential facilities in schools. He achieved an impressive 90% student registration and continuous follow-up in primary and secondary schools, promoting awareness about education and filling vacant classrooms. Additionally, he initiated the distribution and consumption of Take-Home Rations (THR) to improve the services of the Anganwadi Centers.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing local conflicts was another significant challenge, and Narendra took the lead in ensuring that the Panchayat became the primary forum for resolving grievances and conflicts. With the establishment of Shanti Samiti under the PESA Act, many cases are now resolved within the Panchayat, fostering peace and harmony in the community.<br \/>\nRecognizing the importance of collaboration, Narendra ensured the inclusion of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in the development of the Gram Panchayat. Regular SHG meetings and their active participation have contributed to the overall progress of the GP.<\/p>\n<p>As an aspirational leader, Narendra has a clear vision for the future of Kharjana. He plans to address rumors spread within the Panchayat and instill faith in its practices and processes.

In a male-dominant sector of politics, Laxmi, along with 10 other determined female members, established a powerful political identity in her Gram Panchayat (GP). Breaking barriers and defying traditional norms, they achieved an extraordinary dream, proving that ordinary women possess great strength.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her significant achievements, Laxmi faced numerous challenges in her role. The traditional perception of a male leader leading politically posed hurdles, even though the community elected her for the position. While they have gained acceptance through votes, establishing a GP mainly run by women remains a work in progress. Engaging all women voters in Gram Panchayat work also poses a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>To overcome these challenges, Laxmi became a governance change vector. Her competence in GP and standing committee work, as well as her proficiency in the GPDP process and tracking, have been instrumental in driving positive change. She mobilized women for Gram Sabha meetings and educated them about their rights, ensuring their active participation in the GP process. Regular GP meetings and transparency became the norm with women actively involved.<\/p>\n<p>Laxmi&#8217;s vision in her present role is to continue empowering her community and promoting education for girls. She played a pivotal role in forming the standing committee and now shares her governance knowledge with other members. They are advocating for schools up to the 12th grade in their village, particularly for girls to have access to continued education. Additionally, she aims to establish learning centers for other school dropouts, ensuring education opportunities for all.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Laxmi aspires to provide essential health facilities to the villagers through a sub-center, contributing to the overall welfare of the community. In alignment with the current year&#8217;s GPDP, she remains committed to working towards the betterment of her community, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of those she serves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Villa&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_42\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7971_42\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7971_42\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_42 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sarita-Devi.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sarita Devi\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/sarita-devi\/\">Sarita Devi<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">Position and Level: Sahiya Sathi<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Sarita Devi is a dedicated Sahiya Sathi, holding a crucial position in her community at Horhap Village, Namkum Block, Ranchi, Jharkhand. Her achievements exemplify her unwavering commitment to the welfare of women, children, and the elderly in her village.<\/p>\n<p>One of her most notable accomplishments is saving the lives of women and children during Institutional Delivery. She demonstrated exceptional bravery and quick thinking when she provided life-saving mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing to a newborn in the absence of a Skilled Birth Attendant.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond maternal and child health, Sarita has worked extensively for the elderly in her village. Her efforts have resulted in numerous elderly villagers gaining access to old age pensions and ration cards, bringing them much-needed support and security.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a care provider also comes with challenges. Ensuring complete ANC (Antenatal Care) for all pregnant women and complete immunization for children remains a persistent challenge, as some cases face delays due to household issues. Additionally, handling extreme cases of diarrhea outbreaks in the village and obtaining timely referral support can be daunting. Moreover, she faces resistance from certain individuals in the community, making it challenging to navigate such situations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these hurdles, Sarita exhibits resilience and determination. She leads by example in her household, demonstrating healthy habits to address anemia and malnutrition in women. Instead of being discouraged by unsupportive individuals, she chooses to counsel and engage them to promote positive change.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Sarita envisions a village where no one goes hungry and all essential services are accessible to every person. She advocates for extending benefits like PDS, pensions, and healthcare to everyone, aiming to break the cycle of poverty in her community. She encourages people to be productive and not waste their time, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-reliance among the villagers.<\/p>\n<p>Sarita Devi&#8217;s unwavering dedication and compassion have made her a vital asset to her community, inspiring others to work together towards a brighter and more inclusive future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women i&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_42\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7975_42\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7975_42\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_42 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jasma-Kanoje.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jasma Kanoje\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/jasma-kanoje\/\">Jasma Kanoje<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">CLF adhyakshy, Jeevan Jyoti CLF, Palsud<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Jasma Kanoje is a proactive and influential community member, deeply committed to empowering women in her region. Recognizing the challenges faced by women, she actively voiced their concerns in Gramsabha, Village Organization (VO), and the Community Livelihood Forum (CLF). Her dedication and leadership qualities earned her the position of CLF Adhyakshy for Jeevan Jyoti CLF, representing 16 villages in the Palsud cluster.<\/p>\n<p>Under Jasma&#8217;s guidance, Jeevan Jyoti CLF made significant strides towards women&#8217;s empowerment. Producer Groups were established in each village, engaging in public procurement and microbusiness through processing units. The CLF also shared extraordinary success stories in health and education, contributing to the development of the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) and ensuring the saturation of government schemes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the journey wasn&#8217;t without challenges. Acceptance from the community towards Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and their work posed a significant obstacle. Jasma tackled this by tirelessly visiting all 16 villages, creating awareness about SHGs, and gradually increasing acceptance. The allocation of loans to needy members further helped overcome resistance from families. As a CLF, they also advocate for their demands by sending letters to various government departments.

Over the span of 16 years, she has achieved remarkable milestones and positively impacted the lives of many in her community.<\/p>\n<p>In the early years of her career, Gayatri faced challenges in organizing Village Health, Sanitation, and Nutrition Days (VHSNDs) due to a lack of infrastructure. However, her persistent efforts and regular recommendations to supervisors and officials led to her obtaining a separate room in the ICDS office, ensuring smooth functioning and quality service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the struggles of some families who migrated, leaving their children alone, Gayatri took initiative to ensure no child went hungry. Using her stock of supplementary nutrition, she started feeding these children daily, continuing the practice for many others in need.<\/p>\n<p>Her dedication to education is evident through her efforts to re-admit two young girls, Nandini and Varsha, who had dropped out after the 5th class. She also actively promotes Ladli Laxmi Yojna registration for newborn girls and initiated C-SAM screening and NRC referrals through coordination with NHM staff.<\/p>\n<p>During the challenging times of COVID, Gayatri collaborated with the nearest sub-centre ANM to spread awareness about COVID vaccinations and quarantine facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the progress she has achieved, Gayatri has faced challenges, including the lack of adequate infrastructure and transportation. Convincing parents to avail the services of Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) also remains a hurdle.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Gayatri built linkages with local Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Village Organizations (VOs), allowing her to conduct home visits and reach beneficiaries more effectively. She also appreciates the support of ANMs in her area, which has facilitated the delivery of quality services to the community.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Gayatri Solanki envisions larger goals for providing adequate services to all. She aspires to create a playful learning environment within AWCs, similar to private play schools, to enhance children&#8217;s learning and make it enjoyable. Additionally, she aims to establish stronger ties between AWCs and schools, emphasizing AWCs as the primary point of education for children before direct school admission.<\/p>\n<p>Through her unwavering dedication and forward-thinking approach, Gayatri continues to make a significant difference in her community, setting an inspiring example for others to follow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Nirmala-Meda.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nirmala Meda\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Nirmala Meda is a dedicated and passionate community leader, serving as the VO (Village Organization&#8230;<a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7979_42\" href=\"void(0)\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\">More<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Links -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a class=\"gs_team_pop open-popup-link\" data-mfp-src=\"#gs_team_popup_7979_42\" data-theme=\"gs-team-popup--default\" href=\"void(0)\">Nirmala Meda<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Single member designation -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">VO Leader<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Popup -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"gs_team_popup_7979_42\" class=\"gs_team_popup_shortcode_42 white-popup mfp-hide mfp-with-anim gs_team_popup default\">\n    <div class=\"mfp-content--container\">\n        \n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_left__wrapper\">\n    \n        <!-- Team Image -->\n        <div class=\"gs_team_popup_img\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Nirmala-Meda.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Nirmala Meda\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Meta Details -->\n        \n<div class=\"gstm-details\">\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gs_team_popup_details gs-tm-sicons\">\n        \n        <!-- Single member name -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-name \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/team-members\/nirmala-meda\/\">Nirmala Meda<\/a><\/div>        \n        <!-- Single member designation -->\n                    <div class=\"gs-member-desig\" itemprop=\"jobtitle\">VO Leader<\/div>\n                    \n        <!-- Social Links -->\n        \n        <!-- Description -->\n        <div class=\"gs-member-desc gs-team--scrollbar\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Nirmala Meda is a dedicated and passionate community leader, serving as the VO (Village Organization) Leader in Petlawad, Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh. Her relentless efforts have focused on combatting Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and promoting gender equality in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Nirmala&#8217;s achievements in addressing GBV have been significant. Collaborating with various stakeholders such as NAK (Nari Adalat Kendra), LAK (Lok Adalat Kendra), Local Police, and One Stop Center, she has been actively creating awareness about gender discrimination. Her work with LAK has provided crucial support to multiple SHG members who have faced GBV, offering them a strong support system.<\/p>\n<p>However, her role as a leader comes with challenges. One of the main obstacles she faces is the lack of support from the community while assisting SHG members who are victims of GBV. Additionally, government departments and the Panchayat&#8217;s assistance on issues related to entitlement and gender violence has been insufficient.<\/p>\n<p>To cope with these challenges, Nirmala adopts several proactive strategies. She regularly engages with Local Police to seek help in addressing gender-related issues. Moreover, she actively participates in the Gender Forum at both Panchayat and Block levels, where she advocates for community issues related to gender and entitlement. Being part of the SDM&#8217;s Task Force at the Block Level allows her to raise these important matters effectively.<\/p>\n<p>In her present role, Nirmala&#8217;s vision is to empower all SHG members in Petlawad to fight against gender discrimination and access government entitlement schemes. She aims to provide assistance to SHG members in obtaining land rights, fostering economic independence and gender equality within the community.<\/p>\n<p>Through her unwavering dedication and advocacy efforts, Nirmala Meda continues to make a meaningful impact in addressing gender-based challenges and promoting social justice in Petlawad. Her leadership and commitment inspire others to join the cause and work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        <!-- Skills -->\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member--wrapper single-member-div single-member-pop\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs-team-member--zip-codes\" style=\"display:none!important\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-member\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Ribbon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Team Image -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gs_team_image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trif.in\/india-rural-colloquy-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Ms-Geeta-Mahanand.png\" class=\"gs_team_member--image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ms Geeta Mahanand\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;max-width:500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social flex-align-justify-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-mem-desc-social--inner gs_member_info\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Description -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"gs-member-desc\" itemprop=\"description\">Ms Geeta Mahanand is a dynamic Sarpanch of Risama Panchayat of Durg District.

The outlay-outcome gap means the bulk of today\u2019s poor people are unable to benefit from state policies and market signals. Yet India\u2019s recent vast economic growth gives the Indian state huge financial resources for social sector spending. Likewise, high-net-worth individuals have more reserves than ever before for philanthropy. And the philanthropic capital coming from corporate India, through corporate social responsibility (CSR) schemes has a unique space of deployment as an impact multiplier. Philanthropies have a critical role in building up a well-functioning NGOS, think tanks and expertise available to government. This session will seek to lay a blueprint for philanthropy to work with government, bringing best practices, proof of concept and professional expertise.

Big gains from remodelled welfare architecture (right based legislation and DBT+JAM) have provided a basic safety net to citizens. The innovation ecosystem and strategic geo-political positioning has created favourable conditions for growth. Rural areas have seen a demographic shift with a young, aspirational, tech-savvy cohort with formal education, including girls with professional degrees. The rural economy can be accelerated by creating localized opportunities for economic growth and increasing productivity. We need to expand opportunities across the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors of the rural production system, capitalizing on the strengths of local artisans, farmers, industries, and available resources. But the future-ready rural economy to be not just inclusive but needs a hyperlocal economic opportunities model. The session seeks to contextualize \u201clocal economy growth\u201d within the context of India\u2019s aspirations for becoming a high-income growth country, with policy measures and role evolution of all stakeholders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-120333d elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"120333d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\n\t<div id=\"gs_team_area_45\" class=\"wrap gs_team_area gs_team_loading gs_tm_theme7 gs_tm_theme_v_1\" data-options='{\"search_through_all_fields\":\"off\",\"enable_clear_filters\":\"off\",\"reset_filters_text\":\"Reset Filters\",\"enable_multi_select\":\"off\",\"multi_select_ellipsis\":\"off\"}' style=\"visibility: hidden;
