ADATS has a socio-political presence in 35% of the villages that comprise north Kolar district. Overall population coverage is 23% in these 5 taluks. Within villages with functioning Coolie Sangha Units, coverage is very high at 39% of the population. ADATS and the Coolie Sangha share a vision of a community of unified poor, across parochial caste lines and the gender divide; with increased survival capacity in a rapidly changing political economy; with food security ensured by sustainable resource-use practices and economic development; where individuality and person status are established and protected by the community; where Coolie children, especially the girl child, have a childhood, education and a secure future of their choice; where organised Coolies have a political presence and are a power to contend with, without becoming a passive vote bank. MAIN ACTIVITIES ADATS is a comprehensive rural development organisation working in the fields of Community Organisation, Adult Literacy, Children's Education, Community & Referral Health, support to issues and struggles with Legal Aid & Aid Distress, Dry Land Development, Agriculture, alternate Credit, Women's Programmes, etc. We also work on issues of gender justice, secularism and democratisation. All these are efforts to empower the Coolie caste-class in village society, and build an authentic people's organisation, the Coolie Sangha, at the Village, Cluster and Taluk levels. EXTERNAL LINKS |
