3. LOCATION OF THE PROJECT:
The state of Arunachal Pradesh is situated between 26.28 degrees N
latitude and 91.30 E longitude. It is in the north Eastern corner of India
bordering on China, Tibet, Burma and Bhutan, perched on the North eastern
corner of the eastern Himalayas at an average altitude of over 3000 ft. above
sea level.
The project is located at Bordumsa, Changlang district, in East Arunachal
Pradesh. It is strategically located because Bordumsa serves as the check
gate from Assam to Arunachal Pradesh. It is 6oo km away from the state
Capital, Itanagar and 64 kms away from the nearest district headquarters of
Tinsukia, Assam. It has an area of 4662 sq.km with 124994 inhabitants
which is 11.45% of the total population of the state. Changlang, placed at an
altitude of 580 meters, is the district Head Quarters.
4. HISTORY
We, the Carmelite sisters of Charity on the invitation of the Bishop of the
diocese of Miao and the Salesians of Don Bosco have opened a community
in Bordumsa, Arunachal Pradesh. We are collaborating in the mission of
education, social development and medical care. The Salesians have a
school and a hostel for the boys, students of Don Bosco School. The hostel
for the girls is taken care by us, the Vedruna sisters. Two sisters also teach in
the School, while another sister takes care of the socio pastoral/medical
work. We are in the initial stage. The medical and socio pastoral work has to
develop gradually, though a small dispensary is already meeting to the needs
of the almost 800 students in the school/hostel. Sisters also visit the
families/villages around on a regular basis.
Students studying in this school at Bordumsa hail from various tribes. In the
state there are about 20 major tribes which are divided in to a number of sub
tribes, approximately about 110. We have 49 girl students in the hostel. They
hail from the tribes of Singhpo, Tangsa, Khamti and Khmyangs and also
Budhists. Our students are of the age group 5 to 13 years. The Girls’ hostel
is a long bamboo shed which has three rooms. Students stay in two rooms
and sisters in the third. We need to gradually construct a better infrastructure
for the stay, but our urgent need is water facilities for the students, and some
privacy for the growing girls for their bathing, washing needs etc. We own a
plot of land close to the school where these constructions and the Bore well
would be for the permanent use of the students.
The land that is owned by us is a donation partly given by the local tribals
for the construction of the hostel, dispensary and a social work centre.
5. JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT
There are no water connections in this region given by the government.
Bore wells are possible in the region as there is water in the sub terrain. As
of now, the girls’ hostel gets supply of water from the near by Don Bosco
school. They have been very kind to provide us with water for our daily
needs. At present we have 49 children in our boarding, the number is limited
due to lack of space as well as no proper facilities like water which are
essential for the students.
Our concrete and urgent need is to construct a BORE WELL , a Water
TANK to store water and provide facilities for drinking water, water for
bathing, washing and all other purposes.
6. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
OBJECTIVES:
This Project’s focus is the ‘Girl Child’. Assisting them with a
boarding/hostel to stay, it is an attempt to enhance the Education of the
girl child, leading to a better home and transformed society with the
empowerment of women who is the heart and soul of any developing
society.
In Arunachal Pradesh the Female literacy is quite low. It is 43.5% according
to the 1991 statistics. There are also a considerable number of villages where
literacy is as low as 10%. Illiteracy amongst the girls and women exists in
varying degrees from tribe to tribe. The parents seem to have very low
aspirations regarding the girl child compared to the parents of advanced
societies. It is observed, here in the tribal societies, that the girl child and
women play a vital role in the family to sustain their economy. The Project
has its focus on the rural Girl Child for whom a dream is cherished and
nourished and ‘no stop’ till it reaches its goal.
Keeping in mind the education and development of Tribal girls around the
region in many villages, the Girls hostel is one of the means to promote
and assist education. The water facility to the hostel will assist this Project
of Education.
GOALS EXPECTED TO REALIZE
The project is to construct a BORE WELL together with a WATER TANK
for our rural the tribal girls staying in the Vedruna Bhavan Girls’ Hostel studying at the Don Bosco School at Bordumsa,Changlang District,
Arunachal Pradesh. This will meet the basic need of water and facilitate the
education of the target group –the tribal girls.
ACTIVITIES REQUIRED TO OBTAIN THE GOALS:
Construct a Bore well 81 meters deep,
Fix a submersible CRI Pump to draw the water.
Construct a water tank of 20 ft x 5 ft x 6 ft high
Fix Wash basins all around the water tank
Fix Wash blocks of flat slabs on the basins for washing clothes
Enclose the area of 24 ft x 36 ft.
Build an enclosed wall all around for privacy.
HUMAN RESOURCES AND MATERIALS.
Rev. Fr. Mathew C. Paul SDB is a famous Architect cum Engineer
belonging to the Salesian Congregation, having many years of experience in
the field of construction especially in the Northern region, and he has
readily agreed to help us with the construction of the Bore well as well as the
Water tank. He will help us to get all the materials required for the same,
and see that the work is well accomplished
7. DURATION OF THE PROJECT:
We expect the project to be complete with in a span of 6 months. Being in a
remote area, the supply of materials as well as of skilled labourers is not
very easy.
8. BENEFICIARIES
All the students staying in our hostel will be the direct beneficiaries
of this project. The many people who come to our dispensaries will benefit
by this Bore well too. The youth and women who will come to our centre
for their various developmental activities will also benefit from this project .
All our beneficiaries are tribals.
Total number of direct beneficiaries : about 60 personnel at present ( for 200
students approximately in the future)
Total number of indirect beneficiaries: Youth and women from 21 villages
9. Describe the Socio Economic and cultural Characteristics.
India’s North East is part of the great tropical rain forest that sweeps
from the Himalayan foothills to the Malay Peninsula. It is the most
geographically isolated region and the most mountainous ( 70% of its land is
hilly terrain). It is a magical, mist-clad land of hills, valleys and rivers,
peopled by diverse and colourful communities. The North-East is described
as Asia in miniature. India’s rich diversity and plurality is nowhere more
manifested than in the North East. It has over 4000 km of international
border with Bhutan, China, Myanmar and Bangladesh. It is connected to the
rest of India by a narrow 20 km wide (in parts) corridor of land known as the
Silguri Neck also called Chicken’s Neck between Bhutan and Bangladesh.
31.1 million people inhabit the eight states of the North East. Of these 18
million are tribals, the largest tribal majority region in India
Arunachal Pradesh - Physical Features
Arunachal Pradesh, popularly known as the ‘Land of the Dawn-lit
Mountains’ or the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’, was the largest unit territory in
India, with a total area of 83,743 sq. km. in North East India. It is a land of
ridges, with varied mountain terrain, criss-crossed by numerous rivers and
rivulets, rocks and peaks in the North-east frontier region. It is a hilly green
land of multi-tribal simple people belonging to more than 110 tribes and
sub-tribes.
The land has numerous rivers and there are five such principal rivers, one in
each of the five major districts (Subansiri, Siang, Dibang, Lohit, Tirap). The
rivers flowing along Arunachal Pradesh possess the vast potentiality for
hydro-electricity generation due to the typical topography; at the same time
the cobweb of streams and rivers have broken the topography into many
parts in isolation..
Literacy rate
No villages
No of towns
44.24%
3482 Nos.
17
Literacy rate in Arunachal Pradesh is placed as 44.24%. In Changlang
district, (where Bordumsa is) it is 51.98% against the national literacy rate
of 65.38%. It must be noted that Arunachal Pradesh has registered a
significant growth rate in the field of literacy as compared to total
population, total rural population and total urban population in the previous
census. Female literacy has however, remained low, in some of the interior
villages much below 30%. There are also considerable number of villages
where literacy is as low as 10%.
ECONOMY:
Agriculture is the main occupation and 80% of working force is dependent
directly on agriculture and allied activities.. About 65% of the male and 95%
of the female working force are found to be engaged in cultivation. People
practice the shifting (jhum ) as well as settled (terrace) cultivation. This
method of shifting cultivation is practised in the mountainous regions of
heavy rain-fall belts of South-East-Asia and the Himalayan region. The
peculiar topographical conditions and unsuitable land available to them has
left with no other alternative except practising Jhum cultivation. Besides
conspicuous absence of technical know-how on the part of the tribals who
remained completely isolated for a considerable span of time, is also
responsible for dependence on jhuming.
Cottage industries:
Cane and Bamboo works, Bead making etc. also play a significant role in
strengthening the traditional economy. Cotton, Pan and Poppy plants are
also traditional items grown on the jhum fields. There seem to be a gradual
introduction of Horticulture, Pisci-culture and Tea- plantation in the state.
Barley, wheat, potato, mustard and sugarcane are also grown in some lands.
In agricultural as well as household activities, the role of women is
significant.
SOCIETY
The tribes of the states may be included under indo Mangoloid racial groups
with each tribe, possessing distinctive Arunachal Pradesh is essentially a
patriarchal one. The sons are entitled to inherit paternal property. The
paternal kins are considered to be nearer and more important than that of
maternal kins. Arunachalis are generally fond of dance , Music and arts.
Social Pattern
It is generally believed that women enjoy a good position in the society.
Women are not merely a household wife for bearing children and attending
domestic works rather they actively participate with their husbands in
various socio religious functions.
Marriage practices
A tribesman must marry within the tribe but essentially outside the clan.
Child marriages is a common factor. One third of the females get married
before they are 14. while less than one third of the boys of the same age
groups get married in the same category. The bride grooms party has to take
initiative for the marriage. Many rituals are performed on the
commencement of the marriage. A feast is offered to the village according to
their means. Poligamy has been common among all the tribes of Arunachal
pradhesh for quite sometime, the monogamy has been thriving in some
areas all the while. But Poliandry is weekening slowly .
RELIGION
The people of Arunachal Pradhesh has not been much influenced by other
religions from outside. In general all the tribesman are devotes of “Dony
Polo” (The sun and the moon), the supreme spiritual force in the universe
other than the Buddhist tribes . The philosophy of non Buddhist tribes is
based on the varied manifestation of nature and on universalism. Sacrifices
and disposal of the dead are costly affairs. Situation has changed very much
since both Christianity and Hinduism have made intrudes in the society
which was predominantly animistic.
Ceremonies and festivals.
All the tribes have ceremonies connected with the cure of sickness
agriculture and death. There are ceremonies connected with spring festivals
harvesting festivals and seasonal festivals. These festivals are generally
observed in the midst of much fun-fare and festivity along with dances and
songs which are socio religious in nature.
Criteria for the selection of the beneficiaries
The students who come to our school as well as Boarding are from
poor families. But they are willing to pay their mite for the education of the
children. During harvesting season, the parents bring part of what they get
from their fields. But the success of agriculture depends on good rains, and
when the rains fail life becomes difficult for them.
10 . VIABILITY OF THE PROGECT
The Vedruna Carmelite sisters of Charity takes the total responsibility of the
execution of the Project and its continuity. The Congregation has no
intention to move out of this area. It has started a community in this most
backward area precisely to take the projects for the wholesome development
of the people of the region which will take a very long period of time.
The students pay on an average of Rs. 500/- a month in cash or kind .

CONSTRUCCION de UN POZO y de un
DEPOSITO para AGUA POTABLE
El proyecto se sitúa en el estado de Arunachal Pradesh, situado entre los 26,28 grados de
latitud norte y 91.30 longitud este. Se encuentra en la esquina noreste de la India en la frontera
con China, Tíbet, Birmania y Bután, ubicado en la esquina norte de la mitad este del Himalaya
oriental a una altitud media de más de 3000 metros sobre el mar.
El proyecto se encuentra en Bordumsa, distrito de Changlang, en el este de Arunachal Pradesh.
Se encuentra estratégicamente ubicado porque Bordumsa sirve como la puerta de entrada a
Assam. Dista 600 km de la capital del Estado, Itanagar y esta a 64 km de la sede más cercana
distrito de Tinsukia. Assam tiene una superficie de 4.662 km2 con 124.994 habitantes, que es
11,45% de la población total del estado.
Las Hermanas Carmelitas de la Caridad con la invitación del Obispo de la diócesis de Miao y
los Hermanos Salesianos de Don Bosco han abierto una comunidad en Bordumsa, Arunachal
Pradesh. Estamos colaborando en la misión de la educación, el desarrollo social y atención
médica. Los salesianos tienen una escuela y un albergue para los chicos, alumnos de la Escuela
Don Bosco. El albergue para las chicas es atendido por las hermanas Vedruna. Dos hermanas
también enseñan en la escuela, mientras que otra hermana se ocupa de la pastoral social /
trabajo médico. Estamos en la etapa inicial. El trabajo pastoral y socio-médica tiene que
desarrollarse de forma gradual, aunque un pequeño dispensario ya está cumpliendo con las
necesidades de los casi 800 estudiantes en la escuela / albergue. Las hermanas también visitan
a las familias y aldeas en torno de manera regular.
Los estudiantes que estudian en esta escuela son de diversas tribus. En el estado hay
alrededor de 20 tribus principales que se dividen en una serie de tribus de África,
aproximadamente unos 110. Tenemos 49 alumnas en el albergue. Provienen de las tribus de
Singhpo, Tangsa, Khamti y Khmyangs y también Budhists. Nuestros estudiantes son del grupo
de 5 a 13 años. El albergue de las niñas es un bambú largo cubierto que cuenta con tres
habitaciones. Los estudiantes se alojan en dos habitaciones y hermanas en el tercero. Tenemos
que ir construyendo una mejor infraestructura para la estancia, pero nuestra necesidad es
urgente de las instalaciones de agua para los estudiantes, y un poco de privacidad para las
chicas cada vez mayor de su baño, lavado de necesidades, etc.
La tierra que es propiedad de nosotros es una donación en parte dada por las tribus locales
para la construcción del albergue, un almacen y un centro de asistencia social.
No hay conexiones de agua en esta región, existe agua en el subsuelo y por lo tanto los
pozos son posibles. En estos momentos el albergue de las chicas recibe suministro de agua de
la cerca de la escuela de Don Bosco, gracias a su amabilidad hemos podido disponer de agua
para nuestras necesidades diarias. En la actualidad tenemos 49 niñas, el número es limitado
debido a la falta de espacio, y la falta de unas instalaciones adecuadas, como el agua esencial
para los estudiantes.
Nuestra necesidad concreta y urgente es la construcción de un pozo, un tanque de agua
para almacenar agua y proporcionar servicios de agua potable, agua para bañarse, lavar y
todos los demás.
En Arunachal Pradesh, la alfabetización de las mujeres es bastante bajo. Es el 43,5% de
acuerdo con las estadísticas de 1991. También hay un considerable número de pueblos donde
la alfabetización es tan baja como 10%. El analfabetismo entre las niñas y las mujeres existe en
diversos grados de tribu en tribu. Los padres parecen tener aspiraciones muy bajo con respecto
a las niñas en comparación con los padres de las sociedades avanzadas. Se observa aquí, en las
sociedades tribales, que las niñas y las mujeres desempeñan un papel vital en la familia para
sostener su economía. El proyecto tiene su foco en la población rural de la Niña de los cuales es
un sueño acariciado y alimentado y "no parar" hasta que alcanza su meta.
Teniendo en cuenta la educación y el desarrollo de las niñas tribales de la región en
muchos pueblos, el albergue de niñas es uno de los medios de promover y ayudar a la
educación. La instalación de agua al albergue ayudar a este proyecto de Educación.
OBJETIVOS PREVISTOS DE CONSEGUIR
El proyecto es construir un pozo, junto con un tanque de agua para nuestra rurales las
niñas indígenas permanecer en el Vedruna Bhavan de las niñas del albergue, estudiando en el
Colegio Don Bosco en Bordumsa, Distrito Changlang, Arunachal Pradesh. Se requiere por lo
tanto satisfacer la necesidad básica de agua y facilitar la educación.
ACTIVIDADES NECESARIAS PARA LA OBTENCIÓN DEL OBJETIVO
Construir un pozo de 81 metros de profundidad, disponer una bomba para poder extraer el
agua. construir un tanque de agua, disponer de lavabos y pilas para poder lavar la ropa, y
construcción de un muro alrededor
