Rehab Project Launched For Bihar Flood Victims
Delhi School of Social Work (DSSW) has initiated a long-term relief and rehabilitation project, University for Development Action and Integrated Learning, for the flood-hit people in Bihar.
The project is expected to be on for the next six to 12 months. The project has twofold objectives -- to contribute in the relief and rehabilitation of flood victims and to bring back experiences of learning into the knowledge system of the university. The first team of DSSW led by fieldwork director Manoj K. Jha had left for Saharsa on September 1. The team consisted of six student volunteers and one non-teaching staff. They established a base camp at Saharsa and made an assessment of Saharsa, Madhepura and Supaul. The team also assessed the conditions of relief camps in Saharsa. This team was present in the area for 10 days and provided relief material (like biscuits, ORS, medicines, torches) to the most vulnerable sections. It also operated and managed a mobile medical unit at Majhouva, a remote area where more than a lakh people from over 250 villages have taken shelter. Two doctors worked in the unit.

A DSSW spokesman said that the team was undertaking a need-cum-damage assessment of Dalits and the most deprived families in the Bhutahi Baadh area. It has also tried to loosen the shackles of caste biases that tend to become dominant in such situations by consciously employing a Dalit cook in its kitchen.
The second team of DSSW led by Farrukh Faheem, faculty member, B.R. Ambedkar College, Delhi University, reached Saharsa on September 8. It consists of six student volunteers, one non-teaching staff and five para-medical personnel. Both the teams worked together for two days. The third team will leave for Saharsa on September 16. Manoj K. Jha said that the department had been closely working with HelpAge India and `Jurao' at the sites. He added that DSSW would have a long-term association with the area. It would work in the areas of damage assessment and rehabilitation. Apart from providing relief material, it would also provide psycho-social support to those who have lost everything in this catastrophe.TNS
