January 26th 2001 Gujarat will forever remember this day of natures ire. On this day the earth heaved andleft in its wake grieving families, fallen buildings and broken dreams. Towns & villages which a day before were full of life had been reduced to pile of rubble. One of the worst affected areas was Kutch where towns of Anjar and Bachao were completely wiped out. In Bhuj 90% of buildings were affected and almost all the villages in the regions were reduced to a pile of stones, rocks and rubble.
Thousands died Govt. put the estimates at 22,000 but independent sources claim that the toll is about 100,000. With whole families having vanished there is nobody to tell who is missing. Now people in these towns are realizing that they are missing some of the people that they used to see in there neighbourhood before the quake.
Thousands of crore of property was destroyed in a few cataclysmic minutes (approximately 23,000 crores about US $ 500,00,00,000)

 Earthquake affected area in Gujarat |
Earthquake of 7.9 magnitude on Richter scale affected much of Gujarat and showed much of its ire in Kutch, little did people realize how they are going to rebuild all that they have built through hundreds of years. Gujarat came out of this catastrophe due to Herculean efforts of citizens groups, NGO's and self motivated volunteers who poured in supplies and man power at the time of need.
International relief agencies, donor agencies, groups, individuals and countries came out with support for the affected people of Gujarat. The support received from Kutchi NRI community is worth to mention at this juncture.
SRISTI extended its support to the earthquake affected areas. To know more about Sristi's earthquake initiatives. Click Here...
SRISTI has been actively involved in relief and rehabilitation work in earthquake affected areas of Gujarat particularly Kutch. Included is an insight into SRISTI's activities along with IIMA (IIMACORE) and GIAN.
SRISTI & IIMACORE team Visit to Kutch:
Prof. Anil K Gupta along with other NGO's & members of IIMACORE working in the relief work took a trip to the affected areas and visited Bhuj, Rapar & Bachao. Prof. Gupta shared his first hand observation of the situation and visualized the rehabilitation plan for the affected area at a lecture in Ahmedabad Management Association.
SRISTI Relief Team:
SRISTI's was amongst the first team to reach Kutch. This advance team took up the initiative to setup camp and help build up the relief center in Nilpar village of Rapar Taluka. The center for relief activity was developed at "Gram Swaraj Sangh" a Gandhian Institute. From this center the team provided medical treatment & distributed relief material to the affected people in Rapar Taluka. The team also started an effort to collect data for damage assessment in the area and tried to establish co-ordination between various NGO's and medical teams that arrived at this center.
SRISTI Relief Team: First team replace by second team
A second team of SRISTI replaced the first team and established its camp in Nilpar. This team took over the Shodhyatra route (Shodhyatra-II) and tried to asses the damage in the villages in which people had been part of the Honey Bee Network. After this assessment some of the relief material being collected with the support of IIMACORE community was also diverted there.
Resource Mobilization:
SRISTI mobilized several teams of doctors from, Bangalore, St. Stephens New Delhi etc, HAM radio operators, volunteers, structural engineers, seismologists, experts from CSIR Institutes. SRISTI staff was involved in direct relief work as well as provided support both material, resources, computers etc to IIMACORE control center.
Disaster Management Information System:
SRISTI have taken up the initiatives in compiling a database and expert system for disaster management. Through this efforts SRISTI is trying to network initiatives, experiences of individual and institutions worldwide to create a database of do's and don'ts at the time of a disaster (Emergency Preparedness). At the same time a effort is being made to develop an online database of resources and volunteers, who can volunteer online. To be contacted during the time of disasters by respective Disaster Management Authorities of states as well as NGO's and other organizations working in relief & rehabilitation.
Sikshan Sodh Evam Shram Arpan Yatra:
SRISTI 's Shodhyatra (Shodhyatra VII) with a difference, was a step in trying to rebuild the education process, in earthquake affected areas covering 14 villages of Rapar Taluka.
Networking Innovative Teachers for Educational Rehabilitation:
SRISTI & IIMACORE has initiated a project with the school children in the earthquake affected areas. The problem of parents migrating in search of employment and at the same time taking the children with them led to large no. of such school children no access to education, in the aftermath of earthquake the drain was much more. SRISTI took up the task of limiting migration of school going children's, with the aim to stop all such migration. One of the reason for such migration was lack of interest and innovative methods in the Primary school teachers. Hence lesser interest in students to actually come to school at all. SRISTI realized this problem and through its Shodhyatra "Sikshan Sodh Evam Shram Arpan Yatra" tried to impress on the parents to send there children's to school. Some President awards winners school teacher from across Gujarat volunteered to take the initiative in introducing interesting / innovative methods of teaching in students. One such teacher is Mr. Raman Lal Soni, who through his different approach of learning engaged students and actually created an interest in coming to School. SRISTI helped in rebuilding of the schools and provided "Gyan Kosh" besides other school material to the students. More about the project go to School Project. Click Here...
SRISTI participated in relief operations immediately after the earthquake affected most of Gujarat and particularly Kutch. SRISTI immediately rushed a relief team to Kutch and mobilized support, financial as well as material for quake affected people.
SRISTI & IIMACORE team Visit to Kutch:
Prof. Anil K Gupta along with other NGO's & members of IIMACORE working in the relief work took a trip to the affected areas and visited Bhuj, Rapar & Bachao.

The team also started an effort to collect data for damage assessment in the area and tried to establish co-ordination between various NGO's and medical teams that arrived at this center.
Coordination in Rapar from Nilpar:
Through the efforts of Mr. Kapil Shah & Mr. Ramesh Sangavi Director, of Gandhian Institute "Gram Swarajaya Sangh" proper co-ordination have been worked out with various NGO’s, which have made the Institute as the base for relief work in Rapar taluka. The team coordinated with the institute and other NGO’s in providing relief supplies and provided medical, food grain, shelter, blanket support to 10 villages in the area. Another more crucial thing that we initiated in the area was coordination with all NGO’s to do a damage assessment exercise in the area so as to know how much supplies are needed in the area. A questionnaire was designed and circulated through all the NGO teams to collect data relating to the basic facility, medical requirement (post operative care), food and shelter requirement, human mortality, cattle mortality property damage, fodder requirement etc. This information is crucial for three things:
The team visited ten villages and surveyed as per the format as mentioned above to do a damage assessment in the area and prepared assessment report.

SRISTI rehabilitation initiatives involve, rehabilitation of school children who otherwise would have migrated from the region, as there school were not functional and there was no evidence of them opening soon.
SRISTI took the challenge to initiate a project with the school children in the earthquake affected areas. The problem of parents migrating in search of employment and at the same time taking the children with them led to large no. of such school children no access to education. As the school were not functional most of them damaged or completely collapsed, the drain was much more. SRISTI took up the task of limiting migration of school going children's, with the aim to stop all such migration. One of the reason for such migration was lack of interest and innovative methods in the Primary school teachers. Hence lesser interest in students to actually come to school at all.

The seventh Shodhyatra (Sikshan Sodh Evam Shram Arpan Yatra) was devoted to a special cause and planned to serve the purpose of educational rehabilitation in most-affected sixteen villages of Rapar taluka of Kutch. While most of the agencies and government efforts geared more towards distribution of goods and civil works, education rehabilitation has been considered is an area, which had been neglected. For detail report on seventh Shodhyatra please see, Honeybee vol 12 No 3 July-September, 2001 edition .
 Students & Teachers |  Another class meeting |  A Camp Class |
It has been realized that educational rehabilitation in some of the poorest and remote earthquake affected areas, where not much has been done, should be top on the agenda for any planned intervention. The experience of shodhyatra has been very useful in identifying blocks and areas for next phase. SRISTI has already have networked outstanding primary school teachers from Gujarat and other states and some them have achieved outstanding results, in ‘difficult’ situations and ‘difficult’ areas in-spite of well-known hurdles of primary education. Ramanbhai Soni, Motibhai Nayak and Some of the other teachers took up the challenge and not only involved them selves voluntarily but also helped identify similar teachers to commit their time and efforts in this noble cause.
Ramanbhai Soni has identified certain key areas for strategic interventions based on the block-specific issues of Rapar. Faculty members of Ravi J Matthai Center for Educational Innovation, IIM, Ahmedabad, State Government officials from GCERT, Gandhinagar and Sukhdev Patel of Ahmedabad-based NGO Ganatar (well known for its successful experiments of alternative schooling) were people among others, who had deliberated on the issues on 17th July 2001 (Please see, minutes of the meeting) at IIM, Ahmedabad.
The major action points that have been emerged are:
Ramanbhai Soni has proposed the outline of project, which was discussed on 3rd August 2001. Apart from coordination and other issues, it was though to divide the project site (200 schools of Rapar) in different school zones. Different activity-mix for each zone have been discussed. The broad classification of zone and activities have been shown in the following table:
| Number of schools | Criteria of scool-zone classification | Project activities |
| 45 - 50 | Educationally-most deprived and disadvantaged areas and communities, poor demand and difficult access | Setting up basic infrastructure, Rigorous Mobilization campaign |
| 50 - 55 | Villages or schools on main accessible roads, some awareness towards education, school with some facilities but dysfunctional schools. | Community mobilization with focus on improving quality, Ensuring greater participation of village leaders, improving school infrastructure. |
| 45 - 50 | Schools little functional, awareness towards education exhibited. | Seeting up liberalities and conducting teacher and CRC(Cluster Resource Centre Coordinators) training , Regular follow-up and feedback , Strengthening school-community links. |
| 40 - 45 | Educationally-better but badly earth-quake affected villages. | Improving school and village infrastructure, Capacity-building of teachers and community-leaders. |
This broad classification will cover almost all school of Rapar. Any school that is left out under this classification can be separately handled based on the response and interest of community.
The coordination committee members who had visited the district and launched activities met to share their experiences and for future plan. The project has helped in mobilization and ensured entry of school-going age children also motivated community to re-enrol their kids in to school so that thy do not miss out the current year. The most four important issues have emerged as part of the discussion is:
As a part of making education creative and interesting activity, one day training and orientation workshop organized on 10th September 2001 at Smt Sushiladevi Sanghvi Balmandir. 39-40 Coordinators of Rapar taluka were present in the workshop. Some of the teachers like Ramanbhai Soni, Mukundbhai Vyas, Narendrabhai Pandya, Jyantibhai Raval, who have made significant contributions to make education interesting and joyful had shared their experiences. Comprehensive training package for cluster schools have been outlined at the end of day through mutual discussions with CRCs, head teachers of cluster schools and innovative teachers and members of coordination committee.
The training needs that have been identified for future training at CRC level were:
CRC level training was organized from 11.0.2001 to 27.9.2001 with the help of DIET, Bhuj and GCERT. At least one teacher from every school was trained during this training.
The school visit programme was organized during 16th to 20th October 2001. Most school visited was located in the remote and interior villages of Rapar block.
This programme has been guided by five innovative school teachers of Gujarat and coordinated by Chandrakant Soni and Babubhai Soni of Kutch. Intensive field visits were organized during the programme. SRISTI volunteers also joined in the villages and spread the message of role that local innovations and creativity could play in generating solutions in such calamities as well.
Fifteen remote of Rapar villages have been covered during the programme:
The major learning and outcome of different activities have been compiled and visualized in the form of ‘SRISTI BAL Gram Shala’ meand SRISTI children Village School. The core components of this initiative are:
This model has been experimented since 25th October 2001 in six interior villages of Raparsix interior villages of Rapar

Kutch an eye witness account:
An earthquake hit Bhuj on 26th January 2001, it has overwhelmed the area with death, destruction of unimaginable magnitude. The once flourishing towns/ villages have been reduced to a heap of rubble. The nature’s ire has caught the region unaware and inflicted upon the population death (over one Lakh), destruction (in villages & towns all structures have been flattened, communication disrupted, water & electricity supply gone and everything resembles a war zone). Read More...
Silver Lining in Dark Clouds:
When the earthquake of 7.9 magnitude on Richter scale affected much of Gujarat and showed much of its ire in Kutch, little did people realize how they are going to rebuild all that they have built through hundreds of years. But they say there is a silver lining in every cloud. A small Gandhian Institute "Gram Swarajaya Seva Sangh" in Nilpar village showed the way for the dazed population of Rapar. Situated in Rapar Taluka of district Kutch, though itself reduced to a heap of rubble and stones the Institutes residents got together their spirit under the leadership of its Director Mr. Ramesh Bhai Sangvi. The institute putting aside its own rebuilding efforts purged itself into helping the adjoining areas severely affected by the quake. Read More...

An earthquake hit Bhuj on 26th January 2001, it has overwhelmed the area with death, destruction of unimaginable magnitude. The once flourishing towns/ villages have been reduced to a heap of rubble. The nature’s ire has caught the region unaware and inflicted upon the population death (over one Lakh), destruction (in villages & towns all structures have been flattened, communication disrupted, water & electricity supply gone and everything resembles a war zone).
A team of SRISTI/ IIMA reached Bhuj on 29th January 2001. The team comprised of five volunteers and a Doctor courtesy the Civil hospital, Ahmedabad. As the team moved into the area an array of vehicles moving with people on trucks, buses or whatever moving thing, with blank faces greeted us. Another sets of vehicles were rushing with a mission to reach Bhuj with their loads of supplies. The area is virtually being fed with supplies (there is a sweet/bitter side to this also)
Bhuj a firsthand account on relief work:
Bhuj have been severely affected by the earthquake the amount of destruction is unimaginable. SRISTI / IIMA team went into the area for providing support to the relief operation. A first hand report on the situation in the region is given as under with suggestion for future action needed to provide relief support in the area:
Observations:
The destruction in the quake effected area is almost complete, the major affected areas in Kutch are:
The destruction is almost total in Anjar & Bachao where except 2% buildings all have been reduced to rubble. In Bhuj the destruction is also very heavy with almost 90% building are rendered useless. The administration has been caught on the wrong foot and even after 7 days of the catastrophe it has not been able to put its acts together in relief work. But off course the VIP visits are well coordinated and remain unaffected in their glamour. Meeting with the district officials in Bhuj convinced us that we could only work if we should go to the affected areas. But the trip to Bhuj cleared several rumours milling in Ahmedabad about the actual situation the area, which are:
The area has been flooded by supplies from thousands of organizations, institutions, individuals, religious sects etc. The major components of supplies in the initial days included cooked food, food grains, blankets, medicines etc.
The worst affected areas have already received sufficient support and in that process some of the lesser affected areas were not receiving any support at all. These areas though have similar amount of physical damage but less of human life loss. The relief in this areas was slow in reaching.
The coordination between government and other organizations was very poor. The amount of relief material that has piled up in various areas (viz. Bhuj, Bachao & Anjar) is not been distributed owing to this lack of co-ordination.
The whole area is devoid of any means of communication facility. Minimal communication facility has been started via satellite phone and HAM radio stations. The centers at which these stations are maintained are:
Electricity have not been restored till now at any place - There is no indication how much time it would take to restore the same.
Through the efforts of Mr. Kapil Shah & Mr. Ramesh Sangavi Director, of Gandhian Institute "Gram Swarajaya Sangh" proper co-ordination have been worked out with various NGO’s, which have made the Institute as the base for relief work in Rapar taluka. We coordinated with the institute and other NGO’s in providing relief supplies and provided medical, food grain, shelter, blanket support to 10 villages in the area. Another more crucial thing that we initiated in the area was coordination with all NGO’s to do a damage assessment exercise in the area so as to know how much supplies are needed in the area. A questionnaire was designed and circulated through all the NGO teams to collect data relating to the basic facility, medical requirement (post operative care), food and shelter requirement, human mortality, cattle mortality property damage, fodder requirement etc. This information is crucial for three things:
We visited ten villages and surveyed as per the format as mentioned above to do a damage assessment in the area (Table included)
When the earthquake of 7.9 magnitude on Richter scale affected much of Gujarat and showed much of its ire in Kutch, little did people realize how they are going to rebuild all that they have built through hundreds of years. But they say there is a silver lining in every cloud. A small Gandhian Institute "Gram Swarajaya Seva Sangh" in Nilpar village showed the way for the dazed population of Rapar. Situated in Rapar Taluka of district Kutch, though itself reduced to a heap of rubble and stones the Institutes residents got together their spirit under the leadership of its Director Mr. Ramesh Bhai Sangvi. The institute putting aside its own rebuilding efforts purged itself into helping the adjoining areas severely affected by the quake. It started slowly and joined its efforts under coordination of Mr. Kapil Shah to form volunteers network of NGO’s to reach into almost all the villages in Rapar taluka. Against all odds of its position, lack of communication facility, its own destruction the Institute hosted teams of about 20 NGO’s to form a formidable distribution and relief network in whole of Kutch area.
In this whole process though the Institutes people energy was spent on acting as host at one time for about 200 people and coordinating the supplies and there distribution. The results are for all to see:
Within 5 days all the villages had been covered (97 villages in Rapar)
Preliminary data collection for damage assessment had been done for 47 villages
Primary medical provided to all the affected villages
Coordinated to establish an OT for operations in Rapar
Supply chain management system for effective distribution of relief material
Much more was done but probably for figures liking individuals the contributions as mentioned above would have more weightage to understand the magnitude of operation being carried out in place where even the mighty District administration have not been bale to put its acts together to actually make the supply reach the villages, which have not reached even after 8 days of quake. The efforts have been immense, the sacrifice is worshipable, the efforts have saved many.
The Institute now wants volunteers and funds to stand back to its feet. Having serviced the society at its worst time it is now the onus of the society a debt, which can never actually be returned. But then some contribution in terms of "Shram Dan" and funding support for rebuilding what once was temple of learning what we are almost on the verge of loosing compassion probably we can do a little to repay in a small way to this Institute. In the time of need the Institute have shown the path to people now is the time for people to get together and come to rebuild not in cement and concrete but in tradition and heritage which proved to be the silver lining to the quake affected people of Rapar.
Proposed Plan for Development of the Institute:
This plan seeks to rebuild the Institute. As the damage is almost total the best bet for the Institute and its residents who are also affected is to rebuild the Institute according to better plan (earthquake resistant). The Institute before the quake housed classrooms, administrative block, hostels, Staff quarters, Director residence, kitchen, water pump station besides other basic infrastructure.
The approximate land area to be rebuilt: 2400 Sq yards
No. of building existed: 10-12 excluding the staff residence
Structure, single storey, tiled roof
Hostels & Staff residence to be separately built
Total approximate expenditure required: Two Crore Rupees (Rs. 2,00,00,000.00)
Special Report: Silver lining in Black Clouds

A program has been proposed to take over the rehabilitation of five new villages by means of the Watershed programnext year.
The level of the destruction to the institution due to the on 26th devastating earthquake, the rough formula on necessary rehabilitation
The institute’s campus at Nilpar has virtually been razed to the ground and is not in a good condition to use again. The institution has been built by the hard work and savings of 23 years like little drops make an ocean, but all this has been razed to the ground in only 100 seconds earthquake. 50,000 square foot construction and roughly 40 buildings have been useless.
Rehabilitation:
The process of work of rehabilitation of the buildings has begun. In the construction to be done hence forth the following point will be kept in mind.
1. It will be made form the local material as far as possible.
2. Use of old discarded building material.
3. Create local employed.
4. Construction should be simple, heat and economically designed.
5. The necessity of the entire campus should be kept in mind while preparing the master plan and reconstruction
6. Local climate, way to living, cultural needs should be adhered to.
7. Can withstand where earthquake proof.
The work of implementing all the above parameters simultaneously has been precarious and may require some time. For that our experience over and above various experience of various rules and design and planning based on them are taken in to consideration.
Other Activities:
Eye donations, physical health programs, and provision of justice to the underprivileged are other programs that are run by the organization.
