Focus Areas
Economic Development:
 |
90465 families have a minimum income of Rs.4,000/- per month. This has been made possible by helping the women to earn an additional income by way of income generation activities, increase in agriculture production and better livestock management. This income helps their families have both food and financial security. |
Health:
 |
Easy access to primary health care and adoption of proper sanitation, hygiene and nutrition has resulted in improved general health standards of the community. There has been no case of infant or maternal mortality in the project areas. Now, over 454villages have access to safe drinking water. As against 70% of the women found anemic 4 years ago, today the incidence of anemia is down to 11%. Only about 4% of the children are found malnourished. |
Education:
 |
There is 100% enrolment of children in schools. Average pass percentage of the government higher secondary schools in the project area is 83%. Under adult education program, 27729 women members have made literate and 19700 are now able to read up to class 2 levels. |
Environment:
 |
SST serves as a coordinator between local bodies and community to maintain a clean environment. Garbage is collected from houses by SHG and separated and stored as degradable and non –degradable at the source. Degradable waste is converted into vermin-compost. 42 tons of vermin-compost is currently produced every month. Wastewater form households are connected to the drains to avoid stagnation on the streets. Houses with no access to drain were asked to divert the wastewater to soak pits or kitchen gardens. Conservation efforts have achieved far-reaching results in villages- greening degraded forests that now provide resources for a variety of income generation activities. |
Infrastructure
 |
SST participates with the government bodies in developing infrastructures such as construction of roads, drinking water facilities, proper sewage and sanitation, improving school, balwadis, health centres and community buildings in cooperation with the local communities. |
