More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Although rural communities face many hardships, very few are prepared to take action to address them since poverty, insecurity and the difficulty involved in doing so hold them back. This fellowship supports tribal women and men, typically from poor households, who have already shown potential but need help to mobilize their community.
Activities
The selected Fellows are supported for a period of two years for which they are provided with a Fellowship amount of Rs.25,000. They are also given targeted support in the form of learning workshops and guidance from experienced field workers.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $540
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $49,460
Total Funding Goal: $50,000
Additional Documentation
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
A variety of community-specific issues will be addressed and the capacity of the community to address other issues in the future will be enhanced. Communities will feel more encouraged to take responsibility for bringing about social change.
Project Message
The role of community leaders is extremely important as otherwise the poor often just remain mere spectators of processes affecting their lives and expect that the State will solve their problems.

Latest Update from the Field
World Bank - Development Marketplace
By Ms. Deepti Ameta - In Chrage Reporting and Communications, August 17, 2009 03:48 PM
Greetings from Seva Mandir!
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your continuing support to our programs. I am writing to share with you a bit of news.
Seva Mandir has recently won a Development Marketplace Grant Competition, organized by the Word Bank. The competition was exclusively for grassroots initiatives in South Asia to address the problem of undernutrition.
The Seva Mandir's project on 'Addressing Iron Deficiency Anemia in Rural Rajasthan through Iron Fortification of Flour at Village Level' was one of the 21 projects that won the competition in Development Marketplace.
We are all very excited at this achievement. If you have any queries on this project then please do write to me.
We are very happy to share this news with you. Thank you for all your support and contributions. We really appreciate it.
With warm regards,
Deepti
