13-16 May 2020, Jharkhand-Bihar: During this crucial Lockdown, NBJK has transferred money to bank accounts of 147 needy families of Ranchi, East Singhbhum, Koderma, Giridih, Ramgadh and Dumka districts. Each one of them has received Rs. 5000 through NEFT in the very first round of this transparent & full proof relief campaign with support of GiveIndia.

With support of CInI-Tata Trusts at Murhu (Khunti), NBJK promoted Murhu Nari Shakti Kisan Producer Company Limited has supplied 81.5 MT watermelons to Deoghar, Chaibasa, and Jamshedpur along with different markets of Bihar. These watermelons are quite tasty, nutritious and with a different flavor also, the growers claim.

Under the program of Capacitating Social Activists to Reduce Poverty and to Ensure Food Security with support of BFW-Germany, a supported VO Jan Sahyog Kendra-Hazaribag has facilitated tribal farmers of Gomia (Bokaro) to grow watermelons, green vegetables and other crops for their own nutritious intake and cash income through local marketing of these farm products. Another network partner VO Saghan Sewayatan Kendra-Dobhi (Gaya) offers sattu, sharbat, lemon water & biscuits to the migrant laborers coming back to their home from big cities under heavy distress created due to lockdown by COVID-19.

With the program of Community Based Inclusive Development for PwDs by support of CBM India, NBJK workers visit in villages of Dumka district to make people aware about preventive measures like soap handwashing, social distancing and meeting held with Kisan Club members for need assessment to uplift their agriculture.

These small initiatives are like Many a Little makes a Mickle certainly.
