1. Background:

1.1 Encephalitis- a killer brain fever

Encephalitis or the killer brain fever kills hundreds of children every year in Easter Uttar Pradesh and leaves hundreds with life-long mental, physical or multiple disabilities. Mosquitoes and contaminated water are the major known causes of the disease. The system is not yet ready to minimise the risk of this manmade disaster. Prevention has been known as the only cure. A large number of children died due to Encephalitis in the year 2013.

Seriousness of the issue led the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), New Delhi to conduct a public hearing on Encephalitis in the month of September 2013. Several important issues surfaced during the public hearing including promotion of safe drinking water, minimisation of malnutrition and an enhanced role of the service community level providers to minimise the disease.

The project application is based on the issues suggested by NCPCR and lessons taught by our interventions of PGSS for the minimization of Japanese Encephalitis (JE) and Acute Encephalitis syndrome (AES) - a killer brain fever which affects mainly children.

The project is meant for two years covering the different backward and unreached villages of Chargawan and Pipraich Blocks of Gorakhpur district of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India.

News papers reporting the serious threat of Encephalitis in Eastern Uttar Pradesh

These are some common headlines in the local dailies of Gorakhpur and neighbouring districts. These news stories present the plight of Encephalitis victims and their families who mostly belong to the poor and excluded groups.

Encephalitis is one of the most serious health issues of Eastern Uttar Pradesh with Gorakhpur region being the worst victim. The Gorakhpur region (Gorakhpur, Basti, Devipatan, Azamgarh and Faizabad divisions and even from the adjoining areas of Bihar and Nepal) is a silent witness of the innumerable deaths (mostly of the children in the age group of 0-15 years) that take place in the season of Encephalitis. Tragically, the season stretches too long beginning with the advent of monsoon in July till winter in December every year. Serious physical or mental retardation is another effect of the disease which the survivors have to face throughout the life.

Before moving ahead it is imperative to understand the related terms i.e. JE, AES and WBE

i. Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is endemic in the Gorakhpur and Basti divisions of the eastern region. The geographic features of this region are conducive for the spread of JEV; an abundance of rice fields and a bowl-shaped landscape allow water to collect in pools causing ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. In addition, high temperature and relative humidity provides a suitable environment for JEV transmission. The pigs are said to be the amplifying host of the virus. That is why; there are more cases from the area that have piggeries in the vicinity.

ii. Acute Encephalitis Syndrome: In the year 2008, both the categories (JE and water born Encephalitis) and other types of brain fever were combined under the nomenclature of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES).

iii. Water borne Encephalitis: The water born Encephalitis is caused by contaminated water through a virus called entero-virus. Use of shallow hand pumps is a very common practice is Eastern Uttar Pradesh because the water not coming from the desired depth often becomes contaminated. Practices of washing clothes and tying animals around the hand pumps are also common. Lack of proper maintenance of hand pumps and such other factors lead to seepage of dirty water inside thereby causing contamination of groundwater. This is responsible for water born Encephalitis as well as other water born diseases.

Conditions of cleanliness and sanitation in the focus area: A major factor for the spread of water born diseases

Available data: a tip of the iceberg: While going through the data, one must keep in mind that these are only official figures based on the cases reported at BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur. One can imagine the magnitude of the problems with directly affect the rights of children for their survival, protection and development in so huge figures. Tragically, the data (which is given above) is just a tip of the iceberg as these are only the reported cases and an alarming rate of 31% children of the reported cases die year after year in the BRD Medical College Gorakhpur.

There are more cases and deaths that are not reported and treated at formal Govt health institutions (treated in villages by quacks/rural medical practitioners or died at home) – a reality which is based on our own first hand experiences and reflected prominently in various health forums such as during the ‘Public Hearing’ which was organized National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), Govt of India, New Delhi and held at Gorakhpur – for which PGSS extended its full support to NCPCR for organizing all the four planning meetings for organizing the Public Hearing by NCPCR in our Conference Hall and we have been recognised for the same. A copy of letter of apperception by NCPCR is given below, for your kind reference.

“Malnutrition and contaminated water appear to be the root cause of Encephalitis”.

A news story on relationship betweenmalnutrition and Encephalitis

These were the words of Ms Kushal Singh, Chairperson- National Commission on Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), New Delhi during the two days’ public hearing on Encephalitis held at BRD Medical College. The public hearing was conducted by NCPCR on September 11-12, 2013 in view of large number of Encephalitis deaths and cases being reported from Gorakhpur region. The commission attended a total of 32 cases of Encephalitis and took up detailed discussion on the allied issues1. The cases were identified with a help of voluntary organisations from their areas. Commissioners of Gorakhpur-Basti divisions, districts magistrates of seven districts, concerned officials, Encephalitis survivors and their family members, representatives of media and voluntary organisations were present on the occasion.

During its detailed discussion; the commission focussed the following issues related to Encephalitis

Control on malnutrition of children Access to safe drinking water Intensive immunization against JE for children Engagement of ASHAs and AWWs in educating the community to fight against

malnutrition among children Engagement of ASHAs and AWWs in linking malnourished children to ICDS centres Engagement of ASHAs and AWWs in early tracking and early referral of suspected cases Continuous awareness building efforts at grassroots level through IEC and BCC Community’s motivation to discard use of shallow hand pumps Immunization of pigs Community based rehabilitation of children who develop disabilities after surviving

Encephalitis Concerted effort combining several departments for minimising the prevalence of

Encephalitis as well as for rehabilitation of survivors1.2 Protection of Child RightsAs per 2011 census, India has around 158.8 million children, constituting roughly 12% of India's population, in the age group of 0-6 years. If children in the age group of 0-18 constitute even 1/3 of the population; they constitute country's tomorrow'. There have been sincere efforts in our country to facilitate emergence of happy childhood. There are several legislations to protect children's rights. Several policies and programs have been formulated by government, gigantic budgetary 1 Please see Annexure-1 for a brief report of the public hearing.

allocation have been made in our five year plans to promote children's issues. The most important being the adoption of National Policy for Children. The National Policy for Children was adopted by the Government of India in 1974. This Policy declares that children are a “supremely important asset” of the Nation and that their “nurture and solicitude” are the responsibility of the nation. The National Policy for Children states that it shall be the state to provide adequate services for children both before and after birth and during the period of growth to ensure their full physical, mental and social development.

The voluntary efforts: Significance of the role of voluntary sector was clearly highlighted in National Program of Action for Children in 1990 when several participating countries spoke of ensuring a participation of voluntary organisation for implementing the National Program of Action for Children.

Position / Stand of Purvanchal Gramin Seva Samiti (PGSS) on Child Rights: Purvanchal Gramin Seva Samiti (PGSS), the Social Work organisation of the Catholic Diocese of Gorakhpur, strives to establish an equitable and just society2.

11

Child Protection Policy of PGSS

2011. The policy reflects organisation’s commitment for promotion of child protection. The policy clearly outlines organisation’s commitment for the promotion of child rights. The policy also suggests certain concrete steps to be followed for the promotion of child rights at different levels of the organisation.

Disability Policy:

Formulation and implementation of the Disability Policy of PGSS in the year 2012 was an indirect step towards promotion of child rights. The disability policy clearly mentions Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) and Children with Disabilities (CwDs) as two vulnerable groups requiring special attention and care. The disability policy speaks of organisation’s stand for the promotion of PwDs/CwDs. The policy also spells out the steps to be taken in the direction of mainstreaming of PwDs and CwDs.

Creation of Disability-friendly structures in PGSS campus:

Keeping in view an inflow of a large number of PwDs and CwDs in PGSS campus for training; meeting and other purposes; PGSS has created disability-friendly structures like ramp and toilets in its premises. The structure will benefit children with disabilities (CwDs) and persons with disabilities (PwDs).

With this brief background, following is the design of the project on minimising the risk of Encephalitis ensuring the protection of Child Rights in Chargawan and Pipraich Blocks of Gorakhpur District.

3. The project design

23

Looking forward towards child rights:

Uttar Pradesh has a total of 29.7 million child population in the age group of 0-6 years. This constitutes roughly 5.5% of national population of children in the age group of 0-6 years. Working on child issues would mean contributing significantly towards execution of national population of children. That is why; PGSS desires to expand its horizon of promotion of child rights. It has come up with the idea of a new venture to minimise the risk of Encephalitis ensuring the protection of Child Rights in Chargawan and Pipraich Blocks of Gorakhpur District in district of Eastern Uttar Pradesh.


3.1 Goal: Emergence of a child-friendly society and safe environment

3.2 Objectives: Following are the strategic objectives of the intervention:

Objective 1: A minimum of 1500 children of excluded families in 20 backward villages in Chargawan and Pipraich blocks of Gorakhpur district have attained a better health and nutritional status.

Objective 2: Risk of encephalitis among the children of excluded families in 20 backward villages in Chargawan and Pipraich blocks of Gorakhpur district have been minimised.

Objective 3: A minimum of 1500 children of excluded families in 20 backward villages in Chargawan and Pipraich blocks of Gorakhpur district have access to safe water , sanitation and Hygiene ( WASH).

Objective 4: Children in 20 backward villages in Chargawan and Pipraich blocks of Gorakhpur district have access to safe environment and are sensitised on child rights.

Thus all these objectives will address the following four child rights as proposed by UNCRC:

a) Survival rights: include the child's right to life and the needs that are most basic to existence, such as nutrition, shelter, an adequate living standard, and access to medical services.

b) Development rights: include the right to education, play, leisure, cultural activities, and access to information, and freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

c) Protection rights: ensure children are safeguarded against all forms of abuse, neglect and exploitation, including special care for refugee children; safeguards for children in the criminal justice system; protection for children in employment; protection and rehabilitation for children who have suffered exploitation or abuse of any kind.

d) Participation rights: encompass children's freedom to express opinions, to have a say in matters affecting their own lives, to join associations and to assemble peacefully. As their abilities develop, children are to have increasing opportunities to participate in the activities of their society, in preparation for responsible adulthood.

Protecting children against Encephalitis and their rehabilitation is related to these minimum child rights as proposed by UNCRC

3.3 Strategy of intervention:

24

The intervention will employ a strategy which could ensure maximum participation and ownership of the community on the intervention. The first and foremost task in this direction will be to sensitise the community on the different program themes. This will be done through different mediums like wall writing, puppet shows, street plays, Exposure tours, IEC materials and CBO meetings. Government health Service providers will be actively engaged in the activities leading to minimisation of malnutrition and Encephalitis. This would be initiated through their capacity building and regular meetings with them. Home visits with service providers to the houses of focus groups will help in promoting nutritional practices. There would be regular dialogue with PRIs and government officials with a view to streamline conduct of programs like BSPM, VHNDs, WHNDs and RI days. Regularisation of these programs would help in controlling malnutrition among children leading to control on incidences of Encephalitis.

A preventive approach would be adopted to control the incidence of Encephalitis. Focus would be given on sensitisation of the community on preventive measures against Encephalitis, promotion of safe drinking water, Routine Immunisation. Since contaminated water (contaminated caused by improper conditions of hand pumps and use of shallow hand pumps) is one of the major factors of Encephalitis, efforts would be made to guide the community into action for maintaining the hand pumps. Advocacy would be done with related government departments and PRIs for the installation of new hand pumps, marking of dangerous hand pumps and construction of a platform/drain in the vicinity of hand pumps. As a part of rights-based approach, the CBOs would be empowered to access all the Govt. health services and schemes, inputs like bleaching powder/chlorine tablets from PHCs/CHCs for conducting cleaning drives in the villages.

School Management Committees (SMCs) and teachers of the school would be the pivotal points as well as mediums for ensuring awareness and practice of water, sanitation and Hygiene issues along with safe environment in schools. SMCs of the respective villages would be formed/strengthened (with an effort to include representation of member of excluded communities). Orientation of the members & teachers and regular meetings with them would be steps towards ensuring activisation of the SMCs leading to regular accomplishment of their duties. Community based monitoring system (through CBOs) would be implemented to remove the irregularities of mid-day meal scheme and other WASH and environment issues of children. Community’s sensitisation on children’s rights would also be helpful in ensuring access of children to safe environment. Again, WASH brigades and Eco brigades will be formed in schools comprising of students and teachers to monitor water, sanitation and hygiene issues along with Environment issues. A dissemination of positive and negative practices on a wider scale would also be done with the help of media.

Creating a platform for streamlining the participation of children in the decision making process through formation of Children’s club in the 20 focus villages of Chargawan and Pipraich Blocks of Gorakhpur district.

25

The venture also emphasises a sound MIS and management system. This would be done through regular planning and review session/ periodic meeting, capacity building of the team and submission of timely reports (narrative and financial) to the funding agency.

8. Integration and networking for the proposed intervention: The project proposes to work in close collaboration with like-minded voluntary organisations mainly working on child rights/child issues and concerned government departments (e.g. Department of Basic Education, Department of Health, department of Panchayati Raj.)

9. Sustainability of the proposed intervention: The organisation proposes to prepare the community for the sustainability of activities through the community based organisation (CBOs) like Mahila Mandals, Children’s Clubs and AGGs. These CBOs will be prepared through the orientation programs and meetings to take up the program activities without any external facilitation after the withdrawal of implementing organisation.

An engagement of government officials in the events and activities will be helpful in being the focus area noticed by them. This visibility will help the focus villages in getting attention of government officials for other development works in the years to come.

Planning and review of projectCentral level quarterly meetingMonthly Block level staff meetingAssessment with funding agency

In a nutshell, following will be the pillars of sustainability of this intervention:

10. Justification of the intervention: The concepts here address the four child rights proposed by UNCRC. Protection from malnutrition and Encephalitis is based on children’s right of survival. Protection from Encephalitis also saves children from life-long disability caused by it. Providing a platform to express their rights through being part of Children’s clubs take care of children’s participation rights. The promotion of safe environment and WASH issues would take care of their development and protection rights. Meaningful engagement of the children in all the activities of the proposed project will be helpful in promoting children’s participation. Concept of the proposed intervention thus, ensures conformity with UNCRC. That is why; it is expected to yield desirable results in the direction of child rights.
