Youths in rural areas have a significant role in the community.

Parbo, is a new organization that will promote training to selected youths having leadership capability and will meet the challenges of the 21st century. The satellite organization will work in close cooperation with the others in future. The organization will select 4-6 individuals annually who will go through rigorous program for one year. Such a program will be community based and will target mainly children’s and women’s issues including education and health. The objectives of the program will also be achieved through some cultural programs. Parbo has successfully obtained funding to establish the infrastructure and a training venue for the future leaders. These leaders will get monthly scholarships and tools such as computers, books, and resource materials. Once the training period is over, it is expected that they will blend into the society to share their knowledge and skill. Thus, the innovative program will have a pivotal influence in the community and should be funded for a long time to come.

Program Goal and Objectives:

The rural area in West Bengal, India is facing numerous problems; those include but not necessarily limited to economy, health, infrastructure, education, and culture. This is complicated by the lack of facilitiesattached tochildren’s growth, youth employment and gender equality leading to denial of women’s access to decent jobs. It is not easy to target these issues to resolve the problems on a permanent basis. However, a community must understand the existing pitfalls of our system and demonstrate interest to eradicate several problems on a regular basis. One of the ways to address these issues is to develop a satellite organization that promotes community leadership for changing the world. Through an innovative way we must be able to provide knowledge to selected individualswho then work with the community to share this “must know information”what is often called as micromanagement for a mega scale endeavor.

Objectives:

• 1. To select 4-6 individuals from the underprivileged local community, who are willing to work for the society
• 2. To provide them with the power of basic knowledge and skill in relation to health, education, and management
• 3. To provide them with financial help till they become leaders in the community
• 4. To promote local culture to sustain interest and to provide awareness of the mission and vision of this organization

Methods

• Under the Director, a small satellite organization will be formed: PARBO, that will include a) a program director for the local Community Leadershipb) a teacher c) a health professional d) a cultural secretary e) a management professional and f) a financial advisor/accountant
• The organization will then select 4-6 individuals (approximate ages are between15 and 20) who will go into a rigorous program for one year. The program will include basic education in science and arts, health issues such as communicable diseases, children’s and women’s health, community service and management skill.
• These selected individuals will take classes on every Sunday (9 am to 12 noon) for one year at a specific location. The individuals will be also provided with the state-of-the art computers, books, internet access and a fixed salary in terms of scholarship
• At the end of the year, they will be assessed for their knowledge and skill. In addition, to maintain the standard, the students will be also assessed on a monthly/continuous basis.
• At any stage, if the director feels unhappy with the performance of a selected individual, he/she will be replaced by others in the line. Thus, the selection process needs a careful thought process and will follow thePARBO by-laws.
• The Director will also help to find out jobs in the community once these individuals will complete trainings.

Execution, detail program and the timeline

• By-laws will be implemented with the help of the Director
• Selection of the committee (PARBO) will be made
• Selection of the individuals (4-6 youths) for the community leadership will be made.The ratio of male/female leaders is expected to be equal.

Budget

The initial budget is dependent on a donation from Dr. Pallab, K. Ganguly, MBBS, MD, FACA. He is a Canadian citizen of Indian origin. The other contribution is from Mr. Bishnupada Mukherjee, a local business entrepreneur. It is importantto note that thepersonnel taking part in teaching the leaders will spend time on every Sunday on a voluntary basis/or with minimal remuneration. The place for the school is identified,secured and the construction is completed. Thus, the organization should not worry about the place and the initial funding for the infrastructure. This donation is expected to grow also from others (personal/Government/NGO) once PARBO is registered officially.

The annual budget is calculated on the salary/scholarship of the 4-6 future leaders as well as miscellaneous expenses such as cost for the cultural programs and electricity etc.

However, to continue this innovative program, it is expected that others (personal/Govt./NGO) will be able to help and fund this organization annually for a long time to come. The organization on the other hand, will have regular fund-raising events and try to be self-sufficient in every sense of the word.

N.B. The organization is expected to support needy family (on an emergency basis) going for medical treatment. A detail plan and fund to support the family under PARBO will be available soon.
