A must watch film on NREGA by JEEVIKA project team member-Nagendera!


We have started JEEVIKA process in June 2012 and one of the key aspect was to recruit the best possible Human Resource for projects like JEEVIKA, which in turn not only supports JEEVIKA but also contributes for professional growth of the concerned partner organisation and today sitting in my house gallery when I watch a documentary film made by one of our JEEVIKA project Coordinator Mr. Nagendera ( GCSS-Gwalior), I really feel proud the JEEVIKA staff and their multiple talent and skills…..and believe they are the best possible staff I have ever met in any of the project!

We request you all PLEASE watch this documentary film on NREGA-How with JEEVIKA we have strengthened NREGA in one of the most deprived region of Madhya Pradesh –Shivpuri. Documentary film on NREGA by JEEVIKA GCSS-Gwalior team: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt9ShXETUJs The film made here is FREE OF COST and indeed a hard effort by Nagendera.

Some knowledge about short film Work under MGNREGA ( by Mr. Nagendera)

Subject of film: This film is based on how community people get work under MGNREGA at Khorghar Panchayat (Dhakrola Pond).

Summary of film: This film shows how collective efforts of community made a big change, community demanded work and they got it work under MGNREGA with full wages. Work for 62 community people. It’s possible with efforts of Community members, Sarpanch – Mr. Arjun Singh Rawat, Secretary, Panchayat members and of course Balveer Singh (Cluster Coordinator in JEEVIKA-GCSS). In a row of Wednesday’s Jan Samasya Nivaran Divas (It is an initiative started after a proposal in 1st Gram Sabha of this year for hearing and solution of problems of villagers) at Khorghar Panchayat Hall.Where community members orally put their proposal for work under MNREGA in their village. After discussion Sarpanch decided that villagers who really want to work should work on Dhakrona pond and they will be paid according to MNREGA schemes.On 21st March 2013 Sarpanch reached at village at 8:30 am in morning and grouped community people to work on pond. People seen very happy and enthusiastic, nobody took time and 70 people left villages with Tractor-Trolley and by walk around 9 am with their lunch. Sarpanch explain them about work and 62 community people from youth to elder male-female started working there. Some of them are digging mud with sharp hoes and others are busy in collecting mud with help of mattocks in shiny pans. Arjun Singh is closely watching and encouraging them for work. Some youths have seen playing songs on their mobiles for time pass, some community people passing light jokes on each others. It created a happy environment there. At afternoon the Sun was on its peak and trying to slowdown them with straight heat but they have shown thumb at nose to Sun with their unstoppable hard work. Mr. Balveer Singh found busy with writing their names.

How I made film: When I came to know about this work I thought why not I shoot this subject. So I went with a camcorder at Dhakrola pond and started shooting there. After shoot I found usable footage and decided to edit videos. With my past experiences I edited film just a day before going to Indore (IDSSS) for review meet. Now searching more interesting subjects which shows all how JEEVIKA changing life of community.
