Vote of thanks by Prof A. B, Siddiqui
The purpose of the seminar was not purely academic, and it was desired to yield some direction for
the future programs of the LEAD Trust to start playing its humble role as a facilitator of both growth and just distribution.

The papers presented by Mr. H. K. Mazhari entitled “Urbanisation a Key Facilitator to Economic Growth”, by Prof. B. N. Singh “India Versus Bharat: The Urban-Rural Divide” and of Mr. S.K. Singh “Guaranteed Success with RSETI” were especially helpful in throwing up some areas where a beginning can be made.

On the basis of above, in the review meeting, the following morning  chaired by Prof B. N. Singh at the State Guest House Lucknow and attended by Mr Mazhari, Mr Masood, Ms Samina and Ms Sumana the following roadmap of activities was suggested for the trust for the year 2016:


Mission statement
Description
Campaign Against Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs).
Extremely dangerous pesticides are being freely used in India. RTI/PIL to be preferred against this crime against humanity
Project Owners:

Clean India, a beginning to be made in and around the Unity Degree College/ Shahr Bano Begum Girls School, Sidhnath, Miagunj, Unnao
It is huge work but very important and relevant in view of the insanitation prevailing in rural and urban areas. We can initiate an awareness programme on the collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of the liquid and solid waste;
As a first step, we should urge people to completely shun the practice of open-air defecation in the villages choosing two to three villages on a pilot basis.
Project Owners:
Ms Sumana Zafar


Legal Awareness Programme
Need of the day. Will be restricted to the laws which may be relevant to poor and depressed class who many times, are exploited by the law makers, the law enforcers and the defenders of the law
Project Owner:
Next Seminar/Workshop to be held on the role of bankers in the development of small business and artisans in the changing economic scenario.
This seminar will be much better organised with participants coming from bankers DIC and RSETI but also those who are seeking assistance and their experience they have in getting the necessary institutional support.
Project Owner:
A book/Books on zari / chikan workers
This topic came up during the meeting of Trustees the next morning, as a first step towards amelioration of the condition of the local urban poor. The idea was to bring out the problems that the zari chikan workers are facing in getting adequate means of livelihood to keep their chullah’s burning.
The work will be valuable if it suggests a road map for the rejuvenation of the original artisan’s (the workers') economic returns   apart from describing their status and associated problems of the industry.

Let us prepare a blueprint for welfare of the workers in the form of the proposed book.
Project Owners:
Ms. Sumana Zafar





The above roadmap is in addition to the book on "Inflation" which is being written by Mr. Masood Rezvi.
