INTRODUCTION
Within the city of Jorhat there are many areas in which there are so
many basic problems like water, wastage maintenance ,lack of hygiene
and cleanliness etc. Raising the standard of livelihood in these areas
should be the priority of our government. But the government due to
its inability to provide inadequate support to all these problems, here
the role of NGO's come into great play. To understand the problems
facing by the people of such area and to come up with some solutions
to these problems, we carried out our social internship with the
guidance of the NGO "IDEAL ABHIJAN" from 18-08-2022 to 8 -09-2022.
During our three weeks long internship we had the opportunity to
interact with people who have first hand experienced of such problems
which helped us in developing solutions to such problems. Though
some peoples are aware of such type of problems ,they may forget or
unconscious about those problems But these type of unconsciousness
leads to various types of dangerous diseases. As the project continues
to address issues that are relevant to people's livelihoods, there was a
need for a social survey within the project area to monitor and evaluate
its performance, asses it's impact and also identify potential gaps in the
project and in this regards " NGO IDEAL ABHIJAN” guided us in carrying
out the survey. We tried to give simple and compact solutions to some
problems which can be applied in daily life awarding them about the
problems

PROBLEMS IN THE RURAL AREA

During the survey we went to around 80-90 households of the village and
enquired about the problem they faced in the last few years, The solutions for
those problems, if found then how efficient the solution is, the issues they are
currently facing, their current planning to solve those issues and many more.

We found some common problems among many of them and these problems
were primarily water, healthcare, electricity and lack of attention from the
government. A brief overview of the problems are discussed below.

WATER PROBLEM
It ones is one living of the major problems faced by the people of the locality
especially tie in the middle region. During our field visit many inforncd us
about the problem is facing a big challenge due to the quality of water. Many
of the villagers are dependent on the public water supply causes the problem
among them.
The water is available in morning time only. Therefore they have to collect the
water in one time which water supply which is not sufficient in summer time.
Besides this problem in some region the supply pipe is damaged. Due to this
some families have to face problems. The water they collect is muddy, which
cause diseases So they are in very trouble. Also some villagers complained
about the quality of water . More amount of iron and arsenic also cause
problems.
According to the data collected the conclusion came to light was that the
people of the village were not able to get sufficient amount of water.
 9

Moreover some people tell about the disease which is caused by the water
problem. Although the people are managing and doing their best to get the
required amount of water ,yet water shortage can be seen on a large part
ofthe village during dry season.
Number of families: 70
Parameters of survey: Sources of drinking water

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
1) Rooftop rainwater harvesting : lt is a cheap and sustainable process to use
rainwater for daily needs and also to recharge groundwater. With proper
guidance local people can install simple rooftop rain water harvesting
system in their own house (First flush is required). Recharging groundwater
will help during low rainfall days.
Quality of rainwater harvested:

i. As the primary source of water, rainwater is the purest form of water.

Rainwater harvesting not only solves the problem of availability of water, but
also provides good quality water

ii. However, certain precautions need to be taken to ensure that the stored
water is not polluted

iii. Flush the rainwater collected in the first few minutes.

iv Water can be kept clean over a period of five to six months in a clean
container stored in an enclosed area protected from sunlight.

2) Awareness programmes : Govt. and NGO should conduct awareness

programmes on water conservation in such areas. Such programmes will teach
them how to use water responsibly.

3) Household water purification : Low-Cost interventions

 10

There are various household technologies for water purification on the basis of
their practicality, availability and effectiveness in improving the microbiological
quality of the water, cost and limitations. Water purifiers based on multiple
interventions such as filtration /ultra filtration / activated carbon
adsorption/UV rays disinfection are available in the market which can be used
to purify the water at point to use in catering establishments and individual
houses
ouses if quality of water supplied to these places is not satisfactory,
otherwise water purifiers based on single interventions like candle filters,
resins filters (zero suraksha) or ultraviolet lamp can be used.
 11

HEALTH ISSUES
As our main motive to aware the consciousness about health and basic
precautions which can take during diseases. It is also the post
post-period
period of covid
pandemic so to take necessary precautions to safe themselves is very
important. We asked the villagers of o
our
ur study area about covid situations on
that region. We also asked some basic questionary which is done by almost
everyone, but sometimes people forget about those precautions. We visit their
toilets and hand washing systems. Many of them use hand washes regularly
but a majority of people answered us that they did not do regularly. The toilet
systems of majority peoples are well developed but some peoples' toilet
systems are not good yet.

PROPOSED SOLUTION

Indian government published health precaution ru rules.

les. So all of the citizen of
India have to follow these rules to make a hygienic life.
 12

SOME BASIC HYGENIC RULES TO MAINTAIN HEALTHY LIFE

1. Washing hands more often
2. Bath regularly
3. Brush your teeth twice a day
4. Cut fingernails and toenails
5. Wear deodorant
6. Clean hair
7. Choose a daily face cleanser
PERSONAL HYGIENE
Hands and Skins
(Food handlers must wash their hands especially)
1. After visiting the toilet
2. On entering the food room, after a break and before handling any food.
3. After putting on or changing a dressing
4. After dealing with an ill customer or a baby's nappy
5. After handing raw food Including eggs, and before handling ready - to eat
food.
6. After cleaning up animal faces or handling boxes contaminated by bird
dropping.
7. After combing or touching the hair, face, nose, mouth or ears
8. After handling waste food.
9. After cleaning, or handling dirty cloths, crockery.etc.
10. After handling external packaging, flowers or money
 13

DRAINAGE AND WASTE MANAGEMENT PROBLEM

During our field visit we observed that in some of the houses there is no
proper and scientific drainage system

Many of the habitant use dustbin but we notice that major part of the population
did not have any dustbin system for waste management. Some of the people used
to mainly bum the wastages but it is not scientific process. It may cause various
pollution the backside air and environment pollution. Some people also throw the
wastages in diarrhoea, of the house or in the drain. It also causes dangerous
diseases like hepatitis viruses, tetanus, pneumonia. From the visit and study it
comes to light majority of the people are unconscious management and not
aware in wastage also seen and probable dangers. In some houses in the edge of
the ponds were dirty and full of garbage. place At the or end of study it clears
villagers are forced to dump the garbage at random negatively to bun in it open
spaces view absence of garbage dumping points which impacts the hygiene and
health of the people
 14

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Government of India has developed a detailed statistical analysis to identify
factors that may be necessary for measuring cleanliness across India in order
to raise awareness about cleanliness and to instill a sense of competitiveness
amongst villages, GPs, Blocks, Districts and States. There are many scientific
processes planes by applying which the wastage and garbage can be managed.
Some of the processes are explained below
1) Scientific Drainage system: Government should give emphasis on making
Scientific drain in such areas. It will not only solve the environment
problems but also the keep the village clean.
2) Waste management committee: A Waste management committee can be
made in the locality which will look after the waste management in the
locality. Each household must be provided with three dustbins-
a) Green for biodegradable waste
b) Blue for non- biodegradable waste
c) Red for hazardous waste.
The waste will be collected everyday by 2-3 persons employed by the committee.
Green waste can be converted to compost and it can be a profitable business.
Blue waste can be sold to merchants who deals in recyclables. The red waste will
be sent to municipal land fill. Thus it will solve the waste management problem as
well as it can give self-employment opportunity for the youth of the locality
 15

ELECTRICITY PROBLEMS
Power used to get cut In frequent manner and there was a significant drop in the
voltage supply. However in the recent few year this issue has been somewhat
solved. Availability of 24x7 electricity becomes less distorting. However dropping
of the voltage supplied is still there sometimes. For this reason the people are not
able to use water motor pumps. According to them for underground water they
tried using water pumps but regular drop of voltage damaged the pumps.
On the other hand we have come to know the fact that the village has no street
lights so the village becomes complete dark as the sun sets. It causes various
issues starting from safety of children and women to many more.

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
UJALA-Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All > Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs,
for All (UJALA) was launched by Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on 1
May 2015, replacing the "Bachat Lamp Yojana". The project is spearheaded by the
Energy Efficiency Services Limited. In non-subsidized LED Lamp distribution
projects, this program is considered the world's largest. Every household of that
village was provided with 4 five watt LED bulbs along with the guidance and
knowledge about their importance and usage instructions. From the data we got,
an estimated percentage of 90% of the bulbs the Government provided were not
faulty and are still in use.
 16

Moreover, the quality of light from electricity- often compact fluorescent lamps
(CFLs) or light emitting diodes (LEDs)- is much better and more efficient than
traditional source such as kerosene lamps, candles or wood. Proper electricity can
also Improve the health sector in the rural areas, by installing certain modem
machines which can prove to be beneficial for better treatment.
 17

CONCLUSION

On the whole, this internship was a useful experience.. We have gain

new knowledge, skills and met many new people. We achieved several
of our learning goals, However for some the conditions and time didn't
permit.
We got insights into professional and social practice. We learn the
different assets of working within a NGO. Related to our study we
learned more about the problems faced by the locality of Duliagaon.
Most of the problems has been suggested with simple and compact
solutions, but there is still a lot to discover and to improve.
The internship was also good to find out what our strength and
weaknesses are. This helped us to define what skills and knowledge we
have to improve in the coming time. However it would have been
better if we have been provided with knowledge of social development
and its welfare activities.
At last this internship has given us new insights and motivation to work
for the society and its development.
