Candle March to Promote Gender Equality for International Women's Day

On the occasion of one hundred years anniversary of “International Women’s Day," hundreds of LEADers from different colleges BVB, Global, JGCC, KLEIT, KLE Pharmacy, Sharma and Fatima colleges of Hubli, marched with the candle in the name of promoting gender equality. Under the Initiative of Deshpande Foundation’s LEAD, the march started from BVBCET with more than 200 students and local community people of different associations, like TiE, Hubli Champions, DFP, DSF, and BVB. Mr. Naveen Jha (CEO, Deshpande Foundation), Neelam, TiE, Madhuri, CS, Ajay Suman and Radhakrishna Nayak (Program Managers, LEAD) were present and participated in the march.
The message of the young students was to promote equality among men and women and secure rights of women in public places as well as at home. The march ended at Rani Chennamma circle with the lighting of the candles. Girls and boys were holding posters that conveyed messages like "make it afe and secure surroundings for women," "stop discrimination," "promoting gender equality," and "stop violence against women."  The march was coordinated by Shreya R., Akshay N., Deepak G., Saroja B., Shashank I., Shashi G., Divya and Amreen.

The march peacefully ended at the Chenamma Circle and was successful in passing the strong message of “Promoting Gender Equality."

Savage saddle- Construction of 600m road


One of the most appreciated project recently is ''Savage Saddel" by Anup Bijapur from Hospet. The LEADer says "The road near station in Hospet was found with sludge and lots of savage deposited around. It needed an immediate attention and I along with another LEADer Sourabh had taken up an initiative and approached the Corporation for help. we didn’t get any support and ourselves cleared the mess partially. Our dedication towards the project influenced them and later they joined hands with us. A person named
M.C. Sindhur, who has his name in Limca book of records for being the first person to ensure the road in Hubli, contacted and congratulated me for my achievement in Hospet."





Challenges:

• LEAD being new to the people it was difficult to convince the community and the corporation and mobilizing the local resources for the development.
• People living there were illiterate and so were difficult to gain the community participation.
• Initially we didn’t get any support from the Municipal corporation but later our dedication towards the development made them realize their responsibilities.
• Struggled hard to save time to indulge into such activities as college timings were from 8:45am to 5:00pm.

Achievements:


• Road which was in the worst condition is very better and benifitial to around 500+ people living in the community there.
• Now it’s a road over which the govt. has spent lakhs.
• Reduce the time of aprox 20 mins.
• Reduction of distance by 4 km.
• Appreciation from media, college and from other places• Best project award.
