9. MOMENT Project on Healthy Time spacing programme / Family Planning-HTSP/FP supported by World Vision India, Lucknow

Healthy Time Spacing Programme (HTSP/FP) is being implemented in two blocks of Hardoi district and in 10 slums area of Lucknow city. The need for implementing the project in these areas is because of all‐round unsatisfactory health situation where it is necessary to restructure the health services Activities done so far: • Staff Orientation Training Programme We have conducted 2 days Staff training on MOMENT Project (Both for World Vision & PACE staff) before the starting of the Project i.e. on 14th & 15th November 2013 in which we have covered topics like orientation about HTSP and Family Planning measures, Importance of Healthy Timing & Spacing Practices(HTSP). Care for good health and societal development. Functions and Role of National Rural Health Mission, Role of different stakeholders in HTSP /FP programme (PRI, ASHA, Leaders, ANM, MOIC) Effective Communication, Advocacy, etc. In this training the faculties were Mr. Raja Ram (Consultant NRHM), Dr. Sulbha, Dr. Manju, Mr. Arvind Upadhayay (State Consultants NRHM), Mr. Arvind Pandey (DPM, NRHM), Mr. T. Thomson Free Lance Training expert and Ms. Rajvinder Kaur (Secretary‐PACE) were participated.


• Selection of 2 blocks of Hardoi and 7 locations of Lucknow slums Two blocks of Hardoi distt, Sandila and Behdarkhurd has been selected for the implementation of Moment Project. The district Hardoi and Lucknow have a high growth rate as compared to the state average. The DLHS ‐3 data shows that the 15‐49 years age group have very little knowledge of the different family planning methods and hence the usage of the different contraceptive is also very low compared to other state of the country. The DLHS‐3 also shows that there are misconceptions prevailing at the community level related to family planning and timely spacing. It has been also found that the sexually active (15‐49) married and unmarried women and men both have poor knowledge about the different family planning methods in the proposed project area. Though the sexually active group have some knowledge of the different family planning methods but the usage prevalence rate is comparatively low. Under this project 50,000 population covered under each block and information related to healthy time spacing and family planning were given to the target group through nukkad natak, rally, competitions, magic show, etc. • Celebration of National and International days On the occasion of world women’s day, awareness rally and workshop were organized in Lucknow wherein , more than 1000 women participated from Hardoi, and Lucknow slums have participated. Issues were discussed on violence against women, RCH, population growth, gaps in family planning services, etc. Guests from Mahila Aayog, NRHM, FPI, Health dept, religious leaders, etc were addressed the participants.

10. Research and Studies • Baseline Surveys & Impact Studies conducted for Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.

During the FY 2013‐14 we have conducted Baseline surveys in Barabanki, Siddhathnagar, Kushinagar and Basti districts of Uttar Pradesh India , for Installation of Handpumps and Solar lights, Construction of Community Hall and Classrooms in schools. These survey were possible only with the cooperation of local Government officials, Gram Pradhans, Panchayat Secretaries, School teachers and Principals. On the basis of Baseline survey necessary recommendations were given to Indian Oil Corporation Ltd which is going to implement the projects in these districts under their CSR initiatives.

We have also conducted Impact Assessment study on the Hand Pumps installed by U.P. Jal Nigam under CSR initiative of IOCL in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh, India.

• Situation Assessment of Urban Poverty in Lucknow


The study was aimed to assess the socio‐economic condition of the Lucknow City slum dwellers and the homeless in the urban development context. The study is aimed at addressing the key needs of the people, viz., basic amenities, natural resources, credit, food security and access to government resources. The study was also focused in revealing vulnerability of the migrants, their wage employment/livelihood status, access to social security, health and hygiene conditions and their educational status. The study also helped to develop a better understanding of the Govt provisions and Acts for the unorganized sector and hurdles in their effective implementation.

11. Sustainable Agricultural Practices

After successful implementation of the project Uttar Pradesh Diversified Agriculture Support Programme in March 2013 supported by UPDASP. PACE continued with project with its own resources promoting progressive farmers to do the technology based agriculture using Natural resource management (Using Vermi Compost, Nadep Composed, Bio fertiliser through Biogas plants etc). Promoting Vegetable’s growing group PACE has promoted such farmers to enhance their growth so that they could enhance their incomes in through livestock and Agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, goatry, fishery, Animal Husbandry and food processing. PACE make women farmer’s group. Besides this PACE is facilitating post harvest value addition and upgrading of essential rural infrastructure (Rural roads, Cattle, Fruit & vegetable markets).

Drip Irrigation This technique of water conservation in cash crops is being effectively used by the farmers of three villages of Gondlamau Block of Sitapur District. The farmers are able to cultivate banana, tomoato and potato with the improved drip irrigational system. 70% water could be saved when compared with flood irrigation and the saved water could be used for irrigating other crops also. Around 30% increase in the productivity of crops has been recorded. Insect Free Net With the support of Horticulture dept. One of our progressive farmer, Mr. Umesh Pandey (Nandu), has covered 5 acres of land with Insect Free Net. This net prevents insects and there is no use of pesticides. He also installed fogging system inside the net covered area to generate artificial rain. This will help in reducing the use of water or irrigation and maintain humidity of the surroundings. This system keeps the temperature down up to 7*c and maintains the quality of the crop.
