AUGUST 2018

August was yet another eventful and fulfilling month at COVA!

Starting with the launch of a new program “CHECK IT” to decode and expose Fake News that is becoming a major social menace to reaching out to victims of Kerala Floods – the period was packed with action.     3rd Generation Philanthropy Programs of COVA also witnessed acceleration in facilitating scholarships for schools students and working towards securing bank loans for the poor.  COVA also initiated advocacy with the Government of Telangana to modify rules for access to scholarships for BC, ST, SC and OBC Students that are preventing most of them from getting scholarships. 

For the first time, COVA has also launched a crowdfunding Campaign through KETTO to mobilize resources for the scholarship program.

    Students performing the one-act play and participating in poster making competition at SAMBANDH 2018.

The Month also brings back memories from 1997 when COVA for the first time started the trend of joint celebrations of Independence Days of India and Pakistan on 14-15 August as Festival of the Sub Continent for Joint Celebration of Hearts to commemorate 50 years of independence!

CHECK IT – AN INITIATIVE TO DELEGITIMIZE FAKE NEWS

The slogan for the Program: CHECK IT and Save A Life!

 CHECK IT-Brief Overview                                                                                          

“Fake news” is not a new term. Many people have used it for years but now there is a worldwide concern over fake news/misinformation and the possibility that it can influence political, economic and social well-being and lead to violence.

The CHECK IT program aims to sensitize and educate people to delink the perceived legitimacy of all printed word and broadcasted messages and properly verify the veracity before accepting and more importantly forwarding it with others, especially on social media platforms. The partners for CHECK IT TechCamp are IT Professionals, Reporters from Print and Electronic Media, Faith Leaders, Social Activists, Police, and Concerned citizens active on social media.

Activities and Preparations for CHECK IT TechCamp

The CHECK IT TechCamp on the theme ‘Decoding Fake News and Propagating It’ is an initiative to address and counter the spread of fake news. Selected participants will be trained in 1) Harvesting Fake News 2) Decoding Fake News 3) Propagating the Decoded Fake News and 4) Give training to others on the same. The one-day training program is scheduled to be held on 29th and 30th of September, 2018 in Hyderabad and Mahabubnagar respectively. The expert’s cum trainers on decoding fake news from different organizations will facilitate the training programs.

Leading national and local newspapers and TV channels have agreed to the proposal of COVA to carry daily/regular items on fake news exposures- both past and current. COVA has an Interfaith Forum comprising of leaders of different faiths. Most of them have agreed to speak about the CHECK IT Program and Fake News in their weekly sermons in Satsangs, Mosques, and Churches etc., and also they display posters on the topic in their places of worship. Many NGO organizations, Schools, Colleges, Universities and Police Department from Hyderabad and Mahabubnagar are collaborating for the CHECK IT TechCamp.

3^rd GENERATION PHILANTHROPY

COVA has initiated the 3rd Generation Philanthropy Program to mobilize donations and resources from individuals, businesses and trusts/foundations to enable people to access resources of the government available through various schemes and budgeted for lakhs of crores. However, most of these schemes and programs are grossly underutilized and the 3rd Generation Philanthropy is designed to enable people to access government schemes and programs that could make available lakhs of crores to people To Make Poverty History.

COVA has been able to mobilize Rs. 1, 53,198 lakhs (including Kerala Flood Relief Donation) for 3rd Generation Philanthropy programs during the month of August 2018.

COVA has started three programs under the 3rd Generation Philanthropy Initiative namely Financial Inclusion, Enabling Students to Access Government Scholarships and Citizens Entitlements Campaign.

INTERACTION ON 3RD GENERATION PHILANTHROPY AND PATHBREAKERS EXHIBITION

VENUE: NIZAM’S CLUB, NAMPALLY

Eminent Personalities, Senior Corporate Executives, Businessmen, and Civil Society attended for an interaction on 3rd Generation Philanthropy and Pathbreakers. Admiral L. Ramdas, Former Chief of Indian Navy and Dr Syeda Hameed, former member of the Planning Commission of India spoke on  the subject and Dr Hameed also made a presentation on ‘Pathbreakers – 20th Century Muslim Women of India’ to explore the possibility of exhibiting it in Hyderabad, Dr Mazher Hussain, Executive Director of COVA gave a presentation on 3rd Generation Philanthropy which is designed to Enable Poor People to Access Government Schemes and Programs, and it’s Importance in Present-Day Civil Society.

  

  

Mr A.K Khan IPS and Advisor to Telangana government spoke about the importance of 3rd Generation Philanthropy and garnered appreciation for taking initiatives to mobilize funds to access government resources.

PRE-MATRIC SCHOLARSHIP FACILITATION

Pre Matric Scholarship Scheme by Central Government has allocated Rs. 8,179 for Scholarships for 2018-19. State Governments have their own allocations for scholarships.  However, the scheme remains grossly underutilized by students from economically disadvantaged sections.

As per the records obtained by us from the BC Welfare Department, in the academic year 2017, only 3678 students in Telangana applied for BC Scholarship and the negligible number of 5 students applied from Hyderabad despite Lakhs of students studying throughout the State. The total amount sanctioned for BC Scholarship for the year 2017 was Rs. 2.13 Cr, which remained largely underutilized. This is largely because of the difficulties being encountered by the students in obtaining the required certificates and for applying online. In some cases, it is reported that amounts ranging from Rs. 1000 to Rs. 3000 are being charged for the processes that are proving to be the biggest impediment for most of the students.

COVA gave a representation in the matter to Principal Secretaries, and Hyderabad collector to enable students of the SC, ST, BC and OBC students to apply with ease for the Government Scholarships and made the following Action Recommendations.

1. Income Certificate should be removed as a criterion for applying for scholarships for all students of Government schools. Only the poor are sending their children to Government Schools.
2. Special Help Desks to be established in different locations – preferable in the schools themselves for a day or two to enable the processes for different certificates required. COVA can help enlist NGOs to help with the process and assist the officials if required.
3. Banks can be approached to facilitate Help Desks to expedite the opening of bank accounts for students. COVA has already approached SBI and Syndicate Banks. A coordinated approach between the government and the banks could be most beneficial.
4. Extend the Application submission date till 31st December 2018.
5. Increase the number of scholarships from existing Rs. 1000/ per annum to at least Rs. 3000/- as Rs. 1000 Rupees is very less for one schooling year.

 

UPDATE ON PRE-MATRIC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM AUGUST  2018-19      

Till the end of August COVA received 1905 forms from 19 schools that are being uploaded. COVA is in contact with various other schools in the city for facilitation of PreMetric Scholarships and over 10 thousand forms are to be received from students.

DISTRIBUTION OF RATION FOR DESTITUTE REFUGEE FAMILIES

COVA facilitated ‘Adopt a Destitute Refugee Family Program’ with generous support from individual donors to provide monthly rations along with cash of Rs: 500/- to families of widows, single mothers, orphans, elderly and chronically ill. The benefactors are mostly Rohingya Refugees and some are from Sudan.

We distributed rations for 120 Destitute Refugees Families for the month of August 2018 on 14th, 15th, and 16th.  This programme is enabling the most destitute people to fend off possible starvation and survive with dignity. The story of Jamila Akhter, one of the Rohingya Refugees who is a benefactor of the Adopt a Refugee Family Program, narrated below will illustrate the support and succour COVA is providing to the deserving.

Jamila Akhter, born in 1995 came to Hyderabad in 2003 with her parents and 5 siblings from Myanmar. Her parents chose Hyderabad hoping to find better work and earn money to have a decent living. Jamila Akhter the elder girl in the family married Shafi Alam in 2016 and gave birth to 2 children.

Shafi Alam also a refugee from Myanmar went to Kolkata in October 2017 to receive his mother and sister who were coming from Myanmar. While Shafi was at Kolkata railway station after receiving his mother and sister, the police officers detained him for not having any Indian citizenship documents. Police deported Shafi’s mother and sister back to Myanmar and Shafi was sent to Dum Dum Central Jail. Initially, police informed him that he will be out in 1 month. Jamila who was not aware of her husband’s arrest got to know about it after 4 months. Jamila’s father who is suffering from multiple physical ailments couldn’t help her to get her husband released from jail.

Since Jamila’s husband was in jail, there is no source of income for Jamila. Now, with ‘Adopt a Destitute Refugee Family Program’ facilitated by COVA with support from Individual Donors, Jamila, and her children do not have to worry about their daily bread and are saved from recurring periods of starvation.
