down town Charity Trust embarks on a journey of empowerment as an empanelled Key Resource Centre (KRC) entrusted with organizing Level-3 Capacity Building Training programs. These programs target key stakeholders at the community level across the eight North Eastern States of India: Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim, Mizoram, Manipur, and Tripura. The targeted participants include Gram Panchayat (GP) Officials, VWSC Members, and Members of Implementation Support Agencies (ISAs). The training initiatives aim to build capacity among these crucial stakeholders and empower them to drive positive change. As a KRC, down town Charity Trust takes on a pivotal role in spearheading development and enabling progress across North Eastern India through impactful training programs.
At the heart of the Capacity Building Training Program is the desire to bridge the gap between knowledge and action. We believe that knowledge without application is of little value, which is why we strive to equip individuals with the necessary skills and expertise to address water-related challenges effectively. By building capacities at the grassroots level, we aim to strengthen water management practices and enhance the overall water security of the region.
Our success stories speak volumes about the impact we have made in the field of water security. In the F.Y. 2021-2022, down town Charity Trust achieved significant milestones by successfully conducting Level-3 Capacity Building Programmes under the National Jal Jeevan Mission in Assam and Sikkim. Building on this success, in the F.Y. 2022-2023, two more National Level programs were completed in Manipur during September 2022. These achievements signify our commitment towards empowering communities with the knowledge and tools needed to drive sustainable change.
We understand the importance of inclusivity and comprehensive development. To further this vision, down town Charity Trust played a pivotal role in organizing Level-3 Capacity Building Programmes for community-level participants under the 5% State Support Fund of Jal Jeevan Mission. These programs were meticulously designed to target specific areas and communities, ensuring that no one is left behind in our pursuit of water security.
One such program was conducted in Aalo from 19.12.2022 to 22.12.2022, benefiting six PHE&WS Divisions (Daporijo, Khoduka, Likabali, Aalo, Mechuka & Basar) under the Office of the State Jal Jeevan Mission (SJJM), Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh in the FY 2022-23. Another training program was organized for the participants of Durgachowmuhani & Salema Block under DWS Division, Kamalpur, Dhalai District, Tripura in the month of March-April of the current FY 2023-24.
Our mission is clear – to create a significant impact on the development of water management practices in the region. Through the Capacity Building Training Program under – National Jal Jeevan Mission, Ministry of Jal Shakti, we aim to foster, create employment opportunities and skill development.
