Post disaster rehabilitation/reconstruction of low cost and
Disaster Resistant House in Madhubani(Bihar)
PURPOSE:
The main purpose was
Post Disaster Rehabilitation of flood victim homeless people by constructing disaster
resistant (Earthquake Resistant, Cyclone Resistant and Flood Resistant),Cost
Effective, Eco-friendly, climate sensitive and House;
To reduce the vulnerability of rural communities of Bihar, which is affected by floods
nearly every year
To promote „environmentally conscious‟ and „people-centred‟rehabilitation processes,
where technological innovations can make them safer and more durable in time of
disasters
Generate employment based on environmentally-friendly bamboo technology and local
techniques
Spread awareness about the Causes, Mitigation and Preparedness for Natural Disaster like
Flood, Earthquake and Cyclone, benefits of Disaster Resistant House and advantages of
environmental conservation towards disaster resilience.
BACKGROUND
The regions of Bihar in the Kamla Valley are constantly affected by floods, as the river naturally
changes its course nearly every year. The floods that occurred in August 2017 are exceptional for
the scale of the event and damages to the crops, cattle and houses.
The River Kamla diverted from its natural course in proximity of the Nepal border, at about 12
km up the existing barrage, and as it breached its embankments, the river started flowing on a
completely different course, washing away human settlements and cultivations on a breadth of 15
km and a total length of 150 km towards South. Over 2 million people were affected in five
districts; more than 340.700 houses were damaged along with significant losses of crops and cattle
due to the protracted inundations. Long-term homelessness seriously affects health; the average
lifespan of a chronically homeless person is 25 years less than that of the average Indians. The
area is known as having the high rate of tuberculosis, as well as the higher proportion of people
living with HIV in Bihar.
Fig 1: General View of Kamla Flood
Situation in the area before the initiative
Fig 2: Situation before the initiative
Fig 3 : Situation before the initiative
Generally, there is no sanitation facility in the rural villages; open defecation is a widespread habit
and a big health issue. Water is plentiful available as aquifers are extremely shallow; manual
pumps are generally well accessible (mostly one for each cluster of houses or even
household).Quality and safety of water are instead becoming big concerns in the area: recent
water testing revealed high concentrations of salts and arsenic, but rural communities have no
alternative source or supply system and largely employ ground water for domestic and drinking
use in complete unawareness of the health implications
Major issues:
Post Disaster Rehabilitation of a large number of low income group
High costs of construction on account of Conventional Building materials such as clay
bricks, OPC and Asbestos sheet causing harmful effect on environment and health of
human beings.
The most effected group were
Disadvantaged section of society, Minorities, and Widows
ESTABLISHMENT OF PRIORITIES:
In the present case followings were important priority:
Damage assessment
Assessment of Innovative local resources
Community Meetings
Bamboo Model Houses and Exposure Visits
Setting up the Demonstration Hub and Artisans Training
Participatory Design
Disaster Resistant House Design
Mobilisation of financial resource from Public and Private source
Construction of house in prescribed time
Disseminate knowledge Disaster, its negative impact, Disaster resistant Construction
,negative impact of greenhouse gas emission due to construction activity on environment
to grass root level of society
These priorities were established by extensive field visit, deep study of socio-economic condition
of different community of the area, a number of meetings with different section of society and
participatory approach in decision making process.
MOBILISATION OF RESOURCES:
The main source of finance was Disaster management department, Building construction
Department, Govt of Bihar and Donation from public and Private Source. There is currently no
cost to the participating communities..
PROCESS: The process consisted of the following steps:
1. Damage assessment
A total of 44 households out of 110 in Khirhar and 80 out of 102 in Siriyapur village resulted
seriously affected by the flooding and were chosen as the beneficiaries of the two pilot projects.
The villagers are all marginal farmers which make their living on cattle breeding (few cows,
buffaloes and goats) and rice cultivation on small plots of land.
2. Assessment of Innovative local resources
Disaster assessments were conducted to identify the major local resources available in the area. It
encountered an exceptional abundance of bamboo with compatible features for building purposes,
along with well-established skills and capacities of local masons and artisans with bamboo
techniques. Bamboo is extremely cheaper than any other building material in the area, due to its
large availability, rapid growth and regeneration (it grows naturally everywhere and after being
cut it grows again in two year‟s time). This makes bamboo buildings a diffused house typology
among the rural communities and highly familiar practice to local masons and artisans. The main
building materials which were identified as eco-friendly and cost effective for post disaster
rehabilitation/reconstruction of house are summarised below:
1. Walling: Fal-G Bricks with Fal-G mortar; bamboo structure and bamboo mats (generally the
cheaper option consists of a double mesh of bamboo filled with thatch; other options are split
bamboo canes and more elaborated woven patterns).
2. Roofing: Banana fibre reinforced fly ash cement mortar composite.
3. Elevated Plinth: mud/rammed earth.
4. Wall finishing: no finishing; mud/cement plaster and painting.
5. Flooring: Mud floor or concrete floor
3. Setting up the Demonstration Hub and Artisans Training
A Community Hub was created , which is a complex of resource facilities made to provide
technical support to beneficiaries and local masons in form of knowledge sharing, quality control
of construction, skill trainings and workshops on bamboo techniques, crafts, treatment processes
etc. The Community Hub has been set up in a particularly favourable location for its proximity to
a local rural market and good visibility from the main road. In fact, a central location is ideal for
the purpose of attracting as many visitors as possible among the surrounding populations and
provides a safe place where to find refuge in case of emergency.
Fig 4: Artisans’ training session at the Community Hub of Madhubani,
4. Participatory Design Community meetings were set up to outline the design features of their houses through sketches
and building exercises. This way, design concepts were tailored on community‟s housing needs
and resulted into a commonly agreed house shape. Unified design features were essential to better
monitor the progress of reconstruction and facilitate replicability.
5. House Design
All the 44 houses have the same shape, and plan. The rectangular plan is divided in two rooms of
equal surface, the first used as bedroom and the second used as storage for grain, rice, seeds and
food in general. The house has an attached veranda on the longer front. This is a traditionally
multi-purpose work space used by occupants.
The structure is made of bamboo columns and beams, generally tied together with recycled ropes
from zippers (an industrial by-product found in plenty in the area). The bamboo structure is
supporting the roof cladding made of Banana Fibre –reinforced fly ash cement mortar composite
sheets. This material is known to have an extremely poor thermal insulation capacity; therefore it
is coupled with an internal layer of straw for better insulation.
The walling system consists of a frame of bamboo (a mesh of horizontal and vertical elements)
filled with thatch, split bamboo canes or woven strips. This layer is then covered with 3 inches of
mud plaster finished with a layer of cement plaster on the outer face as it is more durable and
resistant to the monsoon rains and simple mud plaster on the inner side. Mud plaster is the
cheapest and most available solution. The perforated pattern on the upper belt was made to
facilitate the air flow and penetration of sunlight in the loft. The bamboo loft also works as an
insulating false ceiling for the interiors below.
Salient features of the project:
1. These Single story houses have foundation of FaL-G Block
2. These houses are made of a bamboo structural frame and roofing, bamboo mat walls
3. Houses were plastered with Mud mortar
4. Plinth Area single House : 41.28 sqm
5. Cost of the Building: Rs 35000/-
6. CFL Bulb and renewable energy sources like Solar PV and Solar Lights were used
Novelty of this Project:
Made with Simple, Low cost locally available materials, tools and skills material
Resistant to natural hazards
Environmentally Sustainable and Energy Efficient
Socially, aesthetically and culturally appropriate to the context
Flexible for future upgrading and extensions
Easy to maintain
Easy to disconnect, reuse and recycle in its parts

RESULT ACHIEVED:
This Campaign has shown a successful way of implementing Post disaster
rehabilitation/reconstruction of low cost and Disaster Resistant House using a cost-
effective eco-friendly and community-based approach
The experience has already had an important impact, both for the residents who have been
actively involved throughout the process and for other grassroots groups around the state
and other part of country
The campaign led by me is a silent revolution in the field of Post disaster Rehabilitation
through Disaster resistant technology, Economic empowerment and Social Empowerment
of Women, Dalits, Widows, Minorities, marginalised and vulnerable women, Women
with disabilities and internally displaced women due to social strife.
More than 3500 affected homeless People (Dalits, Widows, Minorities, marginalised and
vulnerable women, Women with disabilities and internally displaced women due to social
strife) have been permanently housed, with provision of safe drinking water
(Chapakal)
Women are active in leadership roles and 80 per cent of the property titles are in the
names of women
Over 1700 no Disaster Resistant houses in different parts of Bihar and 7100 no Disaster
resistant houses built so far in different parts of Country
Employment generation for low income persons, Widow and disadvantaged section of
society
The project has succeeded in mobilising a diverse group of people who previously felt a
sense of hopelessness.
Unprecedented levels of collaboration between and across agencies and not-for-profit
organisations active in the community
Over 5300 Masons, 1500 Engineers and 6200 people have been trained so far.
Peoples have been trained in building construction and self-management of resources and
have been able to access employment opportunities and set up their own small businesses.
Two social enterprises, including a community bakery and jewellery-making business
using recycled materials already running are established to date
People of disadvantaged section of society have started manufacturing FaL-G Bricks and
Blocks, Banana fibre reinforced high volume fly ash cement mortar composite for
roofing purpose and have started earning nicely.
Carbon savings of 200 tons of CO2-equivalent achieved compared to alternative
construction Methods
6000 Women ( masons, apprentices, labourers...) have benefited directly from this
practice
Heightened awareness about the need to focus on Earthquake Resistant, Cyclone
Resistant and Flood Resistant ,cost effective and eco-friendly material and construction
technology
There have been many policy changes that have taken place at different level
SUSTAINABILITY:
Financial‐ The Campaign is funded from public and private sources. A series of cost-efficient
solutions already have been demonstrated that could be suggested as alternatives to
government.
The Campaign believes that the best way of ending homelessness permanently is to
provide an integrated but tailored package of housing + health + employment support.
Income generation is key element of the project, with two social enterprises established to
date, including a community bakery, a jewellery-making enterprise using recycled
materials.
Where relevant, homeless people receive employment support, which has increased
income and employment. Having a permanent address is important in being able to access
employment.
Housing is made much more accessible to chronically homeless persons.
The involvement of communities and a wide range of partners has enabled the
development of innovative solutions and the pooling of resources that have made the
provision of housing to homeless persons more cost-effective
Social and Economic:
One of the aims of the Campaign is to reduce the extreme social and economic inequalities
prevalent in Indian society and to ensure access to land, housing and employment for low-
income groups.
All houses are of the same quality and design, regardless it is owned by different section of
society.
All decision-making is carried out in Assemblies and residents work together at all stages
of the process. The experience has brought together residents from different backgrounds
and helped to create strong social networks.
The project approach and mutual help construction process promote the values of
solidarity and cooperation, prioritising collective action and social integration. Social
inclusion is a key priority of project and residents include traditionally excluded groups,
promoting the participation of all with the same rights and responsibilities, regardless of
any social, ethnic or cultural differences.
Women are active in leadership roles and 80 per cent of the property titles are in the
names of women.
The Campaign provides capacity building and support to enrolled homeless peoples and
has developed various tools to help communities tackle homelessness.
Cultural –
Vernacular: incorporating traditional practices and aesthetics of earth architecture
This practice on Elevated on a structural platform offering spectacular views and access to
nature, the building‟s placement also offers protection against future flood concerns
received respect from all section of society
Protects landscape and traditional customs by reducing the use of metal roofing sheets and
restoring the traditional uses of earth plaster
Socially, aesthetically and culturally appropriate to the context
Environmental –.
Locally available Environment friendly building materials are used for house such as
Bamboo, bricks and cement for walls, Banana fibre reinforced cement mortar composite
for roofs. Local wood is used for windows, doors.
Training and approach applies a number of appropriate building technologies increasing
the positive environmental impact of the project.
Bricks are produced in an environmentally friendly process
The house construction process requires the use of fewer building materials.
The sites and buildings have a reduced environmental footprint, including the materials
and technologies used but also the active engagement of the residents in the process.
Sharing of experience through the Panchayat Assembly enables other villages in the region
to learn from the good environmental practice
The Campaign is respectful of environmental principles. For example, communities are
trained on how to use existing resources efficiently,
All tenants sign a pledge to commit to greening their lifestyles and reducing their
environmental footprint
TRANSFERABILTY: This practice of Rehabilitation is a scaling-up process in itself, taking a proven approach in
Madhubani and Darbhanga to the Bihar as a whole and beyond. This practice itself
attempts to accept as many invitations as possible to visit external organizations in the
India to discuss and advocate the practice‟s methodology.
This practice now works on a regular basis with 17 local coalitions across India.
Many visitors have come to see the project, including grassroots groups, community
leaders, international visitors and university students
I have carried out a number of workshops and exchanges with other communities to
transfer knowledge and tools, and a blog is under preparation to share the experience more
widely.
The project was extended to include a second phase, with the additional 17 units that are
currently under construction
The approach has been discussed with political and community leaders in Bihar,
Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh. In the first two, this has now led to similar campaigns;
support has been provided to five cities or regions. In Saharsa, the methodology was
applied to flood victims and rehouse them very rapidly. Take up in Sitamarhi and
Muzaffarpur is imminent.

BRIEF HIGHLIGHT OF INNOVATIVE MATERIALS USED IN CONSTRUCTION
FaL-G bricks and blocks
FaL-G is a cementitious mixture composed of fly ash (Fa), lime (L) and gypsum (G) in
proportion of 70%, 25% and 5% respectively. This forms as the basic cementations
binder for the production of FaL-G bricks and blocks in various combination of sand
/stone dust depending upon the requirement of bricks/blocks. FaL-G technology is
based on two principles namely, that the fly ash-lime pozzolanic reaction does not need
external heat under tropical temperature condition, and that the rheology and strength
of fly ash-lime mixtures can be greatly augmented in the presence of gypsum. The lock
and key design of FaL-G blocks makes them a rapid and cost-effective solution for
disaster resistant construction.They does not require mortar or plastering before
painting.
FaL-G bricks and blocks have very distinct advantages over the convention al soil
bricks:
FaL-G bricks produced with compressive strength of 20 N/mm2, water
absorption of 12 percent and coefficient of softening at 0.90.
FaL-G process is simple with production steps of casting and curing, without
dependence on thermal energy. Thereby, the total production cycle spans to 7-
10 days with minimum capital deployment in comparison to clay brick that has
a production cycle of 40-45 days.
They are of uniform size and requires no plastering from outside.
Crushing strength is high as compared to that of ordinary clay bricks.
Porosity is low.
Water absorption is low as per IS specifications.
Slightly lighter in weight than clay bricks.
Linear shrinkage is less than 10%
Utilisation of fly ash in bricks drastically reduces the use of fert ile top soil of
land.
Lower requirement of mortar in construction
Plastering over brick can be avoided
Controlled dimensions, edges, smooth and fine finish & can be in different
colours using pigments
Cost effective, energy-efficient & environment friendly (as avoids the use of
fertile clay)
Fuel requirement is considerably reduced as fly ash contains some percentage of
unburnt carbon
FaL-G are as durable as clay bricks and in fact in certain aggressive
environments perform better than clay bricks
Better thermal insulation
HIGH VOLUME FLY ASH CONCRETE (HVFC)
HVFC is a composite material consisting of fly ash in high volume, coarse aggregate,
fine aggregate and water. Briefly this concrete has very low water to cementitious
ratio, very low water content and incorporates about 50% or more of fly ash (ACTM
Class F, low calcium fly ash). M 20 grade concrete was developed by proportioning the
mix to 1:1.5:3 by weight, as stipulated by the department in the tender schedule. The
90-day strength reached to as high as 41.8 MPa with a permeability reading as low as
45 Coulombs as per ASTM C 1202: Standard Test Method for Electrical Indication of
Concrete‟s Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration.
The adopted mix design for site mixed concrete is also 1:1.5:3 with a cementitious
binder at 420 kg/cu.m of concrete. 20 mm and 12 mm aggregates are taken in a
proportion of 2:1. Concrete is prepared in the roller mixer where the water is
automatically controlled at around 0.47 to 0.49%.
The slumps attained for concrete are in the range of 25 to 30 mm. The nicety of FaL -G
concrete lies in yielding good flow when subjected to vibration, despite low slump.
This phenomenon facilitates the concrete to move and spread in the mould like self -
compacting concrete, thus eliminating chances for voids and honeycombing. The super
fines of concrete help in better finish of the structural element in case proper formwork
is used. Utilization of HVFC in low cost housing will reduce CO2 load on atmosphere
by 102 million ton and there is going to be shortage of fly ash, if the 50% of total
housing stocks uses HVFC.
a) Unique Feature
It is Innovative, cost effective and eco-friendly Concrete.
The ratio of flexure to compressive strength is high
It has better resistance to fatigue.
Better abrasion resistance
Good resistance to attack by acid
It is resistant to sea water attack
It is highly corrosion resistant in aggressive environment
It is performance Concrete.
b) It is different from Conventional Concrete in following ways:
It is high performance Concrete whereas the Conventional Concrete does not
show high performance.
It is cheaper than the Conventional Concrete.
It is cheaper than the Conventional Concrete whereas the Conventional Concrete
increases CO2 load on atmosphere.
It is more durable than Conventional Concrete in aggressive environment.
It has better abrasion resistance.
FaL-G Mortar
Keeping in view the needs of building, a FaL-G mortar was developed with 70% fly
ash, 25% OPC of 53 grade and 5% of hydrated lime together with gypsum. The neat
FaL-G paste resulted in normal consistency of 30.5% and, with the initial and final
setting times of 190 and 255 minutes respectively.
Self-curing and Self Compacting concrete
It is a composite material consisting of elemental sulphur, coarse aggregate, fine
aggregate, cement, modifier and water. This concrete is 25% cheaper than conventional
concrete. This is a silent and water free revolution in the field of concrete technology.
Through this innovation huge quantity of water can be saved, which is required for
gaining strength for any concrete structure. On the other hand, utilization of this
concrete in Civil Engineering Structures will reduce Carbon dioxide load on
atmosphere by 2 lakh ton annually. This concrete is high early strength and corrosion
resistant in aggressive environment. Utilization of this concrete can increase the life of
structure twice. This innovation can nullify draw back of concrete of achieving strength
requiring long time before load transfer. The compressive strength for M-20 grade
concrete was 35 N/mm2.
It is self-curing concrete i.e. this concrete does not require any water curing for
gaining strength.
It gains required strength within 3 days of casting through air curing.
It gains required strength within 3 days of casting through air curing Its
performance in corrosive environment is excellent.
It can be used in special circumstances where normal Portland cement concrete
can not be used such as hilly area where there is a scarcity of water, industrial
flooring which is always in contact with acidic spillage, patching of
unreinforced pavement where traffic cannot be curtailed for long time.
It is different from normal concrete in following ways:
Normal Concrete requires 28 days of water curing for attaining required strength
but this concrete does not require any curing. It gains required strength within 3
days of casting.
It saves million tons of water in construction activities whereas the normal
concrete consume a huge quantity of water.
It does not require any type of compaction for gaining strength thereby does not
produce any noise pollution.
It reduces CO2 load on atmosphere whereas the normal concrete increases CO2
load on atmosphere.
Its maintenance cost is almost nil compared to normal concrete.
It is highly durable in corrosive environment whereas normal Portland cement
concrete is not durable.
It can be used in special circumstances where normal Portland cement concrete
can not be used.
Banana Fibre –reinforced fly ash cement mortar composite
(BFRFCMC)
It is a composite material produced by using banana fibre with chicken mesh as reinforcing
substance in cement matrix. By utilization of BFRRFCMC in roofing sheet (according to present
requirement in India) 48 million ton of fly ash can be consumed and significant amount of CO2 on
atmosphere can be reduced.
The basic idea behind this material is that concrete can undergo large strain in neighborhood of
reinforcement and the magnitude of strain depends on the distribution and sub division of
reinforcement throughout the matrix. Addition of chicken mesh arrests the sudden failure of the
structure and prevents the formation of micro cracks due to sudden impact. When chopped banana
fibre in specified percentage (by weight of cement) and fly ash in specified percentage (by weight
of cement) was added, the characteristics of roofing sheet produced exhibits a vast variation in
some of its important properties. The compressive strength, flexural strength and durability
increases significantly. The cement mortar composites become impervious in nature. Due to
addition of fly ash, there is reduction in heat of hydration and thermal cracks are minimized.
There is absorption of surplus lime released out of ordinary Portland cement to form secondary
hydrate mineralogy. Pozzolanic reaction with hydrated lime are associated with pore refinement
and grain refinement which results in improvement of reduction of transition zone, which
ultimately lead to durability enhancement. Hence roofing sheets of excellent performance i.e. high
compressive strength, low permeability and excellent durability can be produced by using
BFRFCMC.
It is Innovative, cost effective and eco-friendly material.
It is highly durable in corrosive environment
It shows excellent performance.
It has high compressive strength
It is impervious
The ratio of flexure to compressive strength is high
It is prepared by locally available natural fibres extracted from banana Pseudo stem
reinforcing material and fly ash ,a waste by product from thermal Power stations
Mild steel chicken mesh is used in this product ensures safety against sudden Impact and easy
repair of micro cracks developed if any.
The performance of this material is better than conventional sheets in terms of Flexural
Strength, water impermeability, breaking load, tensile strength, water Absorption,Thermal
Conductivity, lesser dead weight of element due to their Small thickness, non Corrosive
nature, Easy mould ability to required shape and Simplicity of construction.
Due to additional chicken mesh reinforcement, easy repair is possible.
There is saving of material also compared to conventional sheets
The product is safe having no health hazard compared to commercially available Asbestos
Roofing material.
The technology requires less capital investment and holds great potential for Decentralized
Production thereby generating employment in rural area also
The process of production is very simple and one to two week‟s training is Sufficient to learn
this technology.
It does not require sophisticated machinery
It is different from Conventional Roofing sheet in following ways:
It is high performance roofing sheet whereas Conventional sheets in the market do not
show high performance.
It is cheaper than Conventional sheet.
It reduces CO2 load on atmosphere whereas the existing conventional sheet increases
CO2 load on atmosphere.
It is more durable than conventional sheet
It is not carcinogenic in nature whereas conventional sheets are carcinogenic in nature.
It is safe, having no health hazard whereas conventional sheets causes health hazard.
This technology requires less capital investment compared to existing any other
technology.
Bamboo
The whole structural framework (pillars, rafters, wall panels and roofs) was made of bamboo in a
very short time and with basic equipment. Bamboo technology enables to build engineered
structures which are more appropriate to the context, environmentally friendly and even more
resistant to disasters due to their lightweight and excellent elastic properties. The rising costs and
scarce availability of materials such as bricks, concrete and timber in disaster affected areas make
bamboo the ideal substitute; furthermore, its low-cost technology and durability makes it a viable
option for disadvantaged communities. Bamboo was considered the ideal solution for cost
effective, ecological and disaster resistant Construction in the present case for the following
qualities:
o Cost-effectiveness
As a local resource, its low technology content and possibility to build engineered structures in a
short span of time and with basic equipment makes it a cost-effective option which is accessible
for the most disadvantaged rural people. Bamboo techniques are well-established among artisans
and rural households.
o Disaster Resistance/Safety
Bamboo has high qualities of tensile strength, extreme lightness and excellent elastic properties.
Structures are able to tolerate high values of deformations in the elastic range and withstand
lateral forces, generated by earthquakes and hard wind during cyclones.
o Eco-friendliness
Bamboo can be regenerated in 2-3 years, while timber could take up to 25 years before being
suitable for harvesting and processing .Bamboo plantations can be grown also over degraded
lands.
o Energy-efficiency
Bamboo components require little energy for production and assemblage in comparison with
concrete, steel and timber. The carbon footprint of the building is greatly reduced and so is the
overall cost. Processing bamboo requires 1/8 of the energy that concrete requires and even 1/50 of
the amount necessary for steel.
o Comfort
Bamboo houses are more suitable than concrete and fire brick constructions to the local climatic
features of warm-humid areas. This quality allows better living conditions and wider acceptance
from local communities in the aftermath of a disaster.

BACKGROUND
The regions of Bihar have been constantly affected by mainly three types of disaster namely
Earthquake, floods and Cyclone. Districts are adversely affected by Earthquake, districts are
affected by Flood and districts are affected by Cyclone.
During disaster millions of people are affected, thousands of houses are damaged along with
significant losses of crops and cattle. Before initiative began people were not aware about the
mitigation approach towards disaster. They were not aware of disaster resistant house.
The most effected group were
Disadvantaged section of society, Minorities, and Widows
ESTABLISHMENT OF PRIORITIES:
In the present case followings were important priority:
Awareness programme
Capacity building Programme
Preparation of Awareness and Capacity building Module
Preparation of Awareness and Capacity building Calendar
Training of Master Trainer (Theory and Practical)

leaders, local representatives, common people
5. Govt officials and local representatives are putting their request for more and more
training
6. Media have also come forward to cover this campaign. This Capacity building
campaign has potential to make the society Safe. I strongly believe that this campaign is a
revolution in the field of Disaster Management.
Problems faced
Local laws, culture and customs, geography and climate, and politics and feelings
regarding race and class, often present a unique set of barriers. Tools that can be
customised in the unique context of each community are needed
Lack of technical knowledge and awareness about unconventional materials among
professionals;
Low confidence and prejudices on quality (fear of malfunctions and short durability) on
behalf of governmental institutions, which do not support organizations to implement
alternative techniques;
Negative attitude towards change of technology ,employing indigenous materials and
techniques;
Lack of cooperation among stakeholders to promote local housing culture and along with
improved disaster resistant building techniques.
These problems were overcome by extensive field visit, deep study of socio-economic condition of
different community of the area, a number of meetings with different section of society and
participatory approach in decision making process under the dynamic Leadership of Dr. Sunil
Kumar Chaudhary
RESULT ACHIEVED
This Campaign has shown a successful way of creating of Civic Awareness, Preparedness
for Disaster, Mitigation and implementing of Construction and/Rehabilitation of
Disaster Resistant House using a cost-effective eco-friendly and community-based approach
The experience has already had an important impact, both for the residents who have been
actively involved throughout the process and for other grassroots groups around the state
and other part of country
The campaign led by me is a silent revolution in the field of Disaster Mitigation,
Rehabilitation through Disaster resistant technology, Civic Awareness and Preparedness
and Capacity building of Masons, Engineers and Local People.
The Campaign started in May 2018 and by January 2019, Capacity building of communities for
response and risk reduction-5300 Masons, 1500 Engineers and 6200 people have been
trained so far.
People have started to construct Disaster Resistant house
There have been many policy changes that have taken place at different level
Employment generation for low income persons and disadvantaged section of society
The project has succeeded in mobilising a diverse group of people who previously felt a
sense of hopelessness.
The project is directly benefiting 350 families with the construction of new housing units.
Unprecedented levels of collaboration between and across agencies and not-for-profit
organisations active in the community
Heightened awareness about the need to focus on Earthquake Resistant, Cyclone
Resistant and Flood Resistant ,cost effective and eco-friendly material and construction
technology
SUSTAINABILITY:
Financial‐
The Campaign is funded from Disaster management department, Building construction
Department, Govt of Bihar. A series of cost-efficient solutions already have been
demonstrated that could be suggested as alternatives to government.
Income generation is key element of the project, with two social enterprises established to
date, including a community bakery, a jewellery-making enterprise using recycled
materials.
Where relevant, homeless people receive employment support, which has increased
income and employment. Having a permanent address is important in being able to access
employment.
The involvement of communities and a wide range of partners has enabled the
development of innovative solutions and the pooling of resources that have made the
provision of housing to homeless persons more cost-effective
Social and Economic:
One of the aims of the Campaign is to reduce the extreme social and economic inequalities
prevalent in Indian society and to ensure access to land, housing and employment for low-
income groups.
All decision-making is carried out in Assemblies and residents work together at all stages
of the process. The experience has brought together residents from different backgrounds
and helped to create strong social networks.
The project approach and mutual help process promote the values of solidarity and
cooperation, prioritising collective action and social integration. Social inclusion is a key
priority of project and residents include traditionally excluded groups, promoting the
participation of all with the same rights and responsibilities, regardless of any social,
ethnic or cultural differences.
Women are active in leadership roles .
The Campaign provides capacity building and support to enrolled homeless peoples and
has developed various tools to help communities tackle homelessness.
Cultural –.
Vernacular: incorporating traditional practices and aesthetics of earth architecture
This practice of awareness and Capacity building for Construction of Disaster resistant
house on Elevated on a structural platform offering spectacular views and access to nature, the
building‟s placement also offers protection against future flood concerns received respect from all
section of society
Protects landscape and traditional customs by reducing the use of metal roofing sheets
Socially, aesthetically and culturally appropriate to the context
Environmental –
Awareness and Capacity building for use of Locally available Environment friendly
building materials for house such as Bamboo, bricks and cement for walls, Banana fibre
reinforced cement mortar composite for roofs. Local wood is used for windows, doors.
Training and approach applies a number of appropriate building technologies increasing
the positive environmental impact of the project.
Bricks are produced in an environmentally friendly process
The house construction process requires the use of fewer building materials.
The sites and buildings have a reduced environmental footprint, including the materials
and technologies used but also the active engagement of the residents in the process.
Sharing of experience through the Panchayat Assembly enables other villages in the region
to learn from the good environmental practice
The Campaign is respectful of environmental principles. For example, communities are
trained on how to use existing resources efficiently,
All tenants sign a pledge to commit to greening their lifestyles and reducing their
environmental footprint
Institutional –
The project did not directly change existing legislation, however I have communicated the
objectives and accomplishments of the project to government officials at all levels. This
program has shown officials a successful way of creating of Civic Awareness,
Preparedness for Disaster, Mitigation and implementing of Construction
and/Rehabilitation of Disaster Resistant House using a cost-effective eco-friendly and
community-based approach
TRANSFERABILTY:
This practice of Rehabilitation is a scaling-up process in itself, taking a proven approach in
Madhubani and Darbhanga to the Bihar as a whole and beyond. This practice itself
attempts to accept as many invitations as possible to visit external organizations in the
India to discuss and advocate the practice‟s methodology.
This practice now works on a regular basis with 17 local coalitions across India.
Many visitors have come to see the initiative, including grassroots groups, community
leaders, international visitors and university students
I have carried out a number of workshops and exchanges with other communities to
transfer knowledge and tools, and a blog is under preparation to share the experience more
widely.
The project was extended to include a second phase, with the additional 17 units that are
currently under construction
The approach has been discussed with political and community leaders in Bihar,
Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh. In the first two, this has now led to similar campaigns;
support has been provided to five cities or regions. In Saharsa, the methodology was
applied to flood victims and rehouse them very rapidly. Take up in Sitamarhi and
Muzaffarpur is imminent
LESSON LEARNED:
A huge loss of lives and Property in different parts of Bihar during Disaster due to lack of
Awareness, Preparedness ,wrong construction/Rehabilitation practices, Lack of
knowledge to Masons and Engineers about Disaster resistant Construction/Rehabilitation
technology of Building altogether motivated me for this Work.
The key lesson learned is that no matter how long it takes it is important to never give up
on your dreams. The struggle has taken several months, people have come and gone, but
the dream was kept alive until the goal was realised
Building a local culture of disaster reduction:
Capacity building transferred and shared through education, awareness and training is a
fundamental step in a rehabilitation process. To this regard, it is of central utility to
establish a strong linkage among all the local stakeholders (institutions, grassroots
organisations, academia and research centres), so that they will gain adequate capacity to
keep on advocating and acting for environmental conservation and community based
initiatives of disaster reduction in the future.
The major role of professionals for creating awareness and reconstruction implementers
should be to provide adequate access to knowledge and technical support for local
stakeholders.
Each stage of the rehabilitation process should encourage capacities of affected
communities, in order to strengthen the existing livelihood options and spread awareness
about the benefits of environmental conservation towards disaster resilience
Integration of environmentally sustainable concepts into the current practice of House
design, construction and post-disaster rehabilitation is becoming essential
Social, economic, environmental factors which cannot be considered separately for the
main goal of a long term disaster risk reduction and stable development
It is becoming essential to re-establish a symbiotic relationship between the built
environment and its natural context to successfully mitigate climate change effects.
