Inauguration of Bridge-IT Project and distribution of 16computers & Projectors to the Entrepreneur: Vimukti Pothnal
The project, aptly named Bridge-IT, is a micro entrepreneurship program
that aims to provide livelihood opportunities and bridge the IT gap
between urban and rural India by building the capacity of rural youth in
e-entrepreneurship. Bridge-IT will focus on building the IT and
entrepreneurial skills of rural youth, build their confidence, and
enhance their life skills, providing them with the necessary means and
support to earn a livelihood through e-entrepreneurship. The initiative
will not only allow rural youth to be gainfully employed and
self-sufficient, but will also bridge the IT gap by enabling the youth
to bring much needed IT related services into their communities. By
promoting rural entrepreneurship, the intervention aims to improve the
rural economy, reduce illiteracy, and provide academic inputs to both
school going children and adults through computer based education. On
8th of July Vimukti Pothnal in partnership with Development Focus
Bangaluru inaugurated this new project and gave away 16 lop tops,
Projectors, to the selected entrepreneur, who will be learning how to be
e-entrepreneur and start own business in their own village.
Education a man, you educate a person, but you educate a woman and
you educate a whole civilization- Mahatma Gandhi
Vimukti charitable Trust® organized mass awareness campaign from 6th to
9th July, 2018 in five major villages of our working area. Vimukti Staff
with the help of local community leaders gave input sessions on seeds
and fertilizers stock for monsoon cultivation. Govt. as already allotted
sufficient seeds and fertilizers for the farmers for the monsoon
cultivation. But farmers should demand the concerned authorities to
distribute the seeds and fertilizers in concessional rate. Seeds are
available with the Karnataka State Seeds Corporation Limited, National
Seeds Corporation and other private agencies. Sufficient stock was
ensured and there would not be any shortage for this season. Seeds would
be distributed on 75% of concession for scheduled caste and scheduled
tribe farmers and on 50% concession for general category farmers. The
price of BT-1 variety would be Rs.635 and BT-2 would be Rs.240. Seeds
should be purchased from approved 30 agencies; if sale of unauthorized
seeds was found kindly, contact agriculture officials immediately. This
mass awareness campaign was very successful in the targeted villages.
Nearly 545 farmers attended and benefited from this program.

As a part of our efforts to make basic healthcare accessible for all,
Vimukti Charitable Trust®, Pothnal with the support of Ensemble Agissons
France conducted free health camps in villages, providing succor to over
250 people. Many of these villages have no healthcare facilities or even
a qualified healthcare worker. Monthly free medical camps are being
conducted specifically for pregnant women with active participation by
staff nurse and support staff from Pothnal hospital. The objective of
the camp was to provide information regarding diet, exercise and weight
control. Free medicines have been provided to subjects who were
diagnosed with HTN and or DM and advised them to follow up with their
local doctors or Public Health Centers. Follow up has been done with
those patients who have been diagnosed with HTN or DM on a regular basis
by our staff nurse with their medications and ascertain that their blood
pressure and/or blood sugar are controlled. People are very positive
regarding this camp and 214 people have been benefited from these camps. 
Yoga for Harmony and Peace
Vimukti Charitable trust®, Pothnal with the collaboration Aptha mithra
development organization, Sindhnoor jointly organized awareness program
on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) ,female sex
worker, and people living with HIV on 16th of June 2018 at Vimukti
premises. The objective of the program was to make known the struggles
of LGBTQ, female sex worker and people living with HIV people face in
the society for their existence. The resource person Sri Madhu said, as
a community, LGBTQ people face higher rates of poverty, stigma, and
marginalization, which put us at greater risk for sexual assault. We
also face higher rates of hate-motivated violence, which can often take
the form of sexual assault. Moreover, the ways in which society both
hyper sexualizes LGBTQ people and stigmatizes our relationships can lead
to intimate partner violence that stems from internalized homophobia and
shame. 
Blood is the fluid that gives life, growth and health. Every year on 14
June, countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day (WBDD).
The event, established in 2004, serves to raise awareness of the need
for safe blood and blood products, and to thank blood donors for their
voluntary, life-saving gifts of blood. World Blood Donor Day is one of
eight official global public health campaigns marked by the World Health
Organization (WHO). With these key note from Fr. Elvin Lopes Sneha
Jyothi Boarders organized World Blood Donor Day on June 14, 2018 to mark
this event Mr.Charlie was chief guest, spoke of the benefits and the
myths about donating blood. By donating blood we become life savers and
real hero and a ray of hope to someone in need of blood and Mrs.
Nagarthna the staff nurse guided the children and spoke of the purpose
of the event.
