Programmes

Programme Title
Description
To strengthen the Juvenile Justice System by organizing training and capacity building programme
State
  • West Bengal
District
  • Murshidabad
The project at the State level focuses on strengthening the Juvenile Justice System in West Bengal with greater emphasis on Capacity building and knowledge management of Child Protection service-providers. The Child Protection Resource Centre as a part of this project will be the technical hub to assist the state in developing cadres of child protection service providers-as well as aid in different innovations. The resource centre would provide technical assistance, knowledge and research to support the development of policy and practice by a variety of stakeholders, including governments and civil society organizations.

The Child Protection Resource Centre would focus on the following:

Technical assistance to the Department of Women and Child Development/ Child Rights, District Child Protection Units, CWC, JJB and district administration and practitioners through advocacy and capacity building on juvenile justice and child protection.
Enhance knowledge and research services in support of policy and practice by a range of stakeholders, including the Directorate of Child Rights and Trafficking, State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, State Legal Services Authority (SLSA), WCD & SW Department, Government of West Bengal.

This project is unique in a sense that it contributes to improving Juvenile Justice System and custodial/ institutional care following minimum standards. Although, there is an intended objective of setting up replicable Child Protection Resource Centre in the State, this would perhaps set an example worth emulating in future.
• A unique resource centre on child protection established in the State having direct relevance to juvenile in conflict with law.
• Enhanced understanding among police, NGOs, District Child Protection Societies (DCPS) and NGOs working on child protection issues.
• Other district partners along with the host district would use the resource centre for accessing information on a regular basis and use the same for their intervention.
• District administration would be encouraged to tie up with other training programmes of the government and channelize them through the resource centre.
• Training materials and tools developed and training of trainers conducted by the second year of the project.
• Professional diploma course on child protection with TISS offered to local youth for career options and to meet the gaps in human resource requirements.
• Training of service providers and develop a cadre of trained manpower
• Service providers at all levels in child protection continues in third year.
• Programme Innovations through Help Desks and technical support.
• Direct assistance to juveniles in conflict law in the Juvenile Home

The programme started with 1200 girls from 30 villages and till date more than 6000 girls have received the educational support out of which 35% girls have been mainstreamed in formal school at age appropriate class and still continuing study.

Creating Community-Based Safety Net For Better Health & Nutrition Outcomes For Children, Adolescents & Mothers Of West Bengal

A “healthy population” forms the crux of any nation and maternal health and nutrition are its foundation pillars. A healthy mother gives birth to a healthy child which helps to escape the vicious cycle of poverty and malnutrition. However, West Bengal, though has seen some promising achievements in areas of maternal and child mortalities and yet it remains high in terms of absolute numbers of maternal and child deaths due to poor care during pregnancy and access to health services post-delivery. Over hundred women in West Bengal (MMR: 113/100,000 live births, SRS 11-13) die every year due to poor access to health services and post-natal services (SRS-2009). 75.2% of deliveries happen in institutions and only 54.9% women get 1st ante- natal check-up within first trimester. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in West Bengal is 32 (SRS Sep, 2013 bulletin) i.e.; still 32 children in every 1000 live birth are dying within their first year of life. Moreover, malnutrition is another area of concern with every fourth child being low weight or under-nourished. According to NFHS 4, 32.5% children under 5 years are stunted, depicting chronic malnutrition in West Bengal.

Keeping in this context, the programme has been designed in such a manner that it focusses on developing the capacities of people so as to enable them to be conscious about their own rights and entitlements and thereby raise a demand for the same. At the same time, the programme also emphasizes on playing the key role of facilitator by providing the necessary support for strengthening the existing government services by enabling them to function more effectively and equitably. Thus the programme draws on the vision of developing “Child-Friendly Communities” (CFC) through the dynamic approach of the CINI Method which strengthens the link between the providers and the receivers in an integrated convergent manner to ensure good governance. The programme draws on the entire Life-cycle approach (LCA) and addresses the health & nutrition vulnerabilities of each stage from pregnancy, child-birth, early childhood and adolescence.

Organisation Profile

Brief Description
Child in Need Institute (CINI) is an Indian non-government organisation (NGO) that has adopted a human rights-based approach (HRBA) to programming with children and adolescents to foster their human and social development. CINI is working with deprived community since 1974 and currently runs operations in the states of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Assam and Odisha, reaching about 7 million people. CINI has received twice the National Award for Child Welfare – 1985 and 2004 – for its contributions to child welfare. It is guided by its mission to ensure that children and adolescents achieve their rights to health, nutrition, education, protection and participation by making duty bearers and communities responsive to their well being.
CINI works across the spectrum of children’s rights as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC 1989) aiming at achieving survival, development, protection and participation by all children, with a special focus on the most vulnerable. CINI’s work on health focuses on maternal, child and adolescent health. In nutrition, we strive to prevent malnutrition, especially in the first 1000 days of life and during adolescence. Our work on education and child protection enhances young people’s and community’s capacities to keep children safe and protected and help them develop to their full capacity.
Participation of children and the wider community for us is integral to enabling young people to become partners and proactive citizens in development processes concerning them and their communities. We aim to strengthen local governance processes for inclusive rights-based development. At the community level, we are facilitators creating partnerships among core duty-bearers, namely, parents (and, by extension, families and communities), service providers and local government institutions (LGI).
In addition to our critical focus on communities, we also strive to strengthen systems for children by partnering with the government, its elected, administrative, service provision and judicial arms, in addition to national and international NGOs and technical agencies to promote rights-based development for and with children in the realms of Capacity Development; Technical Assistance; Evidence Building; and Networking, Advocacy and Policy Influencing.
Our work at the community, system-strengthening and organisation management levels stands on a comprehensive conceptual framework based on children’s rights, called The CINI Method.
In this last 47 years of journey, CINI has grown over the years and made significant contributions in the sector, of which many have been recognised at the National & State level.
Donation to CINI is eligible for income tax exemption under section 80G of IT Act, 1961.
CINI has received approval from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India for receiving fund from the corporates to work with the under-priviledged population in India.
