Introduction

About the Community

• Geographical Location: It is established in village Dand, Amer in dist.- Jaipur Raj

• Cultural Background: People are very poor, They based on agriculture or daily labor. Its part of desert area of Rajasthan

• Role of Satya Bharti School in the Village: The of Satya Bharti School is as a Model School of the village, It’s a learning temple.

• Participation in ‘Design for Giving’ School Contest: School participated in Design for Giving for ‘Consumer rights’

We ‘Felt’:

• Mostly people of the village are illiterate and does not know their rights.

• Especially women got victimizes of fraud due to lack of awareness of consumer right.

• A case also taken place in the village where a girl got admission in a collage and submit the fee also for whole year but in mid session the collage denied to continue and also not returned her fee.

• People need to know their right as consumer right but they were not know what we have to do and where we should apply.

We ‘Imagined’:

Students decide to organize a work shop in school to aware the people of village where they can tell them their right and nobody can does fraud with them.

We did role plays at school

We ‘Did’: Reilly in village and went door to door

Impact on Community:

• After the workshop and rally the people realize that they have so many rights and now they are just taking the bills when they are purchasing some thing from the market.

• They are purchasing the seeds and manure with ISI mark.

• If they feel some difficulty in purchasing anything they are referring the school and students.

• Students referring the consumer right books to be aware about it.

• When the students are helping the villagers they are also building their knowledge through information transmission.
