Indian Institute of Education & Care
SUCCESS STORIES OF INCLUSION
As per the cherished ideals, attempts were made to bring the differently abled children to the mainstream. With able guidance from the professional and trained teachers, the feeling of exclusion and alienation of these retarded children both in themselves and their classmates were overcome to a very great extent through integrated education. It is a basic truth in human development that children with a particular deficiency are usually very sharp and adept in other spheres. Hence through a proper assessment their talent and dexterity can be very well exploited to make them confident about themselves. IIEC has always attempted to exploit these individual capabilities through the process of integrated education. The success stories recorded in case histories will amply prove the success achieved during the period under review.

Slum : Satyakali
Model Infrastructure : Overhead tank with stand post for water supply
Background :
This slum is in Ward 27 of Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation. Set up in 1982 the slum has around 200 households with a population of 825. Cattle rearing and selling milk is the mainstay of the slum dwellers. The women earn some extra income for the household by making papad and sweets for the market. The community is remarkable for the high emphasis it places on education.However Satyakali basti faced an acute shortage of drinking water. During the rainy season the drains adjacent to the slum overflowed and a the wells are contaminated by the drain water which added to the woes of the slum dwellers. The contaminated water resulted in increased incidences of water born diseases which adversely affected their lives and livelihoods.
Slum – Nandinipalli Mundasahi
Model Infrastructure : Waste Bin
The City of Bhubaneswar, with an estimated population of 1, 60,0000 have 377 slums.
The Nandinipally Munda Sahi Basti is one amongst them which was established in 1968.It is an unauthorized
slum situated in between the Bidyut Marg and Regional College, under Nayapally area so as it is an
encroachment of Govt.land. The inhabitants have no legal rights on the land. There are 150 house holds in
the slum with 760 population. The majority of residents are Schedule Tribe belongs to Mayurbhanj District
and few families belong to Muslim Community. There is a good fellow feeling and cohesion among community
and every matter have been regulated by the Slum Development Committee. The majority of people are
depending on wage earning and only 10 persons are doing Govt.
Job.At the heart of the slum there is a BalwadiCentre which has
been managed by the Ruchika for the education of small children.
Besides, one CommunityToilet and Bath space has also been
provided by the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation. Prior to
interventionof IIEC during last part of 2009 it was noticed that the sanitary and hygienic condition of the community wasmore unhealthy and the surrounding was very dirty because people were either
not aware or well conscious in disposing their house hold wastages in a planned manner. Though there
was watsebin kept by the BMC in some part of the Basti, yet people are used to throw the wastes out
side here and there. This habit might be developed as regular clearance of garbage by BMC was not
taken up. Secondly the existing drainage system was also been defunct due to blockage made by
the garbages.This self created condition and inherent attitude of community not only influence their health and hygiene but at the same time deteri orate the sanitary condition of its surroundings and as a post impact of it small children have been affected by different diseases like malaria and other infectious skin diseases. Under the situation, for IIEC the great concern was to do some thing to develop the sanitary condition of the locality and to create awareness on community health and hygiene. more...
