Sensitisation Strategy:
After looking at the conditions of the trafficked victims and the root cause of the trafficking, different strategies were adopted to raise awareness of the Basundhara scheme amongst different target groups: community people; GP-, block- and district-level stakeholders; and the trafficking victims.

Activities:
District Level Consultation on Land Rights:
A district level workshop was organised on 30th of March at Central Cooperative Bank Conference Hall, Berhampur by Aaina, with participants from different blocks i.e. Kukudahandi, Hinjali, Digapahandi, Buguda,and Bhanjanagar. The main objective of the workshop was to sensitise the district level stakeholders (Sub-Collector, DSWO, NGOs, Revenue Inspectors, PRI members and media persons) about the local situation and magnitude of trafficking and its implications on society. The purpose was also to inform people about the Basundhara scheme, how victims can benefit from it and how to get their entitlements.
State coordinator of Jajnaseni Mrs.Pranati Mishra and Secretary of Seva Mrs. Alka Sahoo were the key resource persons at the workshop. They discussed the rules & regulations of the Basundhara scheme and how to involve the traffic victims in the scheme. The PRI members were given the responsibility to keep an eye on the traffickers and find the victims to include them in the scheme.

Block Level Programmes:
The issue of trafficking is deep rooted and it’s necessary for the preventive campaign to reach all levels to achieve the maximum impact. With this in mind, two block level programmes were organised on trafficking awareness and the Basundhara scheme at Jagannathprasad and Bhanjanagar blocks on 31st of January and 3rd of February 2011. Mrs. Alka Sahoo of Seva was the resource person for the programme. Key stakeholders i.e. Sarpanch, Samiti Sabhya, Word member, SHG members, teachers, NGO personals and community people were present during the programme. A brainstorming session was carried out with the participants to uncover the root cause of trafficking and fine preventive methods. After that, Mrs. Alka discussed about the Basundhara schemes and related benefits available at Govt. level which can help the trafficked survivors. During the session, some cases were raised by the community people that need immediate intervention in terms of providing lands to the victims. The addresses of the victims were noted and the community people were given responsibility to inform the victims about the scheme and facilitate them in getting their rights.

By end of March 6 trafficked survivors had applied for land under Basundhara scheme.

Database of Trafficked Survivors:
 A database format was developed to record the number of trafficked victims and their socio, psychological and economic status as a whole. E.g. whether they have been given any financial support, livelihood training, and inclusion in SHGs, linkage to the bank for loans etc. It also reflects their past history and social condition which provoked their trafficking. The database will be used as a tool to monitor their developmental process and to provide them with rehabilitation skills to live life to the full. This format has been developed and is being maintained at Bhanjanagar office where the details of Basundhara beneficiary list is also being maintained.
