STRENGTH: NCHSE survey teams have wide exposure all parts of the country - of several states, and in many cases the remote villages and interiors of jungles have also been covered by them. The computerisation strength of NCHSE is enormous. The field data collected is thoroughly computer-fed to be used for onward analysis by experts. The softwares are also developed by NCHSE for quick validation of data quality, which helps in the checking and improving the quality of information. PAST
EXPERIENCE:(MAIN POINTS): Surveys done with little time in hand pose maximum challenge, but it is because of right approach to reach the survey object and to extract maximum information through interactive session, the works have been finished in record time. The selection of NCHSE by default by many agencies and departments, or repeat calls are the certificate of merit of NCHSE in this field. One of the largest surveys conducted recently by NCHSE was under an mega- assignment from DANIDA (Denish Intenational Development Agency) for the Health Infrastructure and Services in State of Madhya Pradesh, where the Data for all 54,000 villages of the State was collected and compiled in just 4 months duration.

NCHSE takes up activity of monitoring and evaluation studies. One one hand this involves surveys, and survey details are provided in the previous paragraph (above). This studies of both types - Socio-economic and Natural Resource related, are undertaken. Similarly, the study assignments for Urban and Rural areas are taken. STRENGTH: There is strong backup of subject matter analysts and specialists, who, depending on the subject and objects of the study work out strategies for the assignment including formulating questionnaire and parameters for evaluation and monitoring of any given programme. The computerisation strength of NCHSE is enormous. The field data collected is thoroughly computer-fed to be used for onward analysis by experts. The softwares are also developed by NCHSE for quick validation of data quality, which helps in the checking and improving the quality of information. Further, data analyses including the statistical computations, are performed as per the need of assignments and the results are provided for interpretation and analyses. Experts supplement the exercise by writing reports with high degree of proficiency with their wide experience on the subject they would have dealt with in their jobs or deep knowledge about the subject they possess. PAST
EXPERIENCE:(MAIN POINTS): A large variety of subjects ranging from Forest to Agriculture, Livelihood to Health, Urban infrastructure to Slums, etc. have been completed by NCHSE experts.

NCHSE has carried out over 60 Research Studies. Many of these got the recognition to the level of review of policy by the Government. NCHSE has prepared an Urban Perspective Plan for 2021 for Madhya Pradesh. The report is available in 9 Volumes with all details about the perspective development of the State considering the fast growth of urban areas. Similarly, NCHSE also has prepared PURA (Provision of Urban Amenities in Rural Areas) proposals. This work is a part of Vision given by Ex-President of India Dr. Abdul Kalam, which aims at identifying need and recommending the Amenities in Rural Areas surrounding Urban centres which receive high pressure on its infrastructure due to influx of large number of people from Rural Areas for availing the facilities. The Programme has now started being implemented.
NCHSE has a unique character which distinguishes it from others. It has a very strong presence at Grass Root level. All its works are always impactful and lasting because of people's involvement right from the beginning of programmes i.e. from the level of Planning of the programme including the activities to be carried out. Thus, NCHSE follows a principle of working "With People, for the People".
Besides this, the more important character is to employ 'Technology' into its functions. Most of the programmes ensure extensive use of IT and GIS (Geographical Information Systems), which are put to use for Planning and Monitoring of the activities. Many special Techniques have been developed by NCHSE to integrate the field inputs with the GIS and even Remote Sensed based information to work out action plans. One amongst many solutions is 'WATMAN' that is a package of Software and Documentation which helps create an excellent balance between the Technology and Community's Driven approach and ensure Technology to work in tandem with Field Requirement. Above all, these are simple-to-use and cheaper solutions.

NCHSE takes up the implementation of projects. Implementation projects include the execution of medium to large projects of development in rural areas, say, village or cluster of villages and such programmes may cover integrated development of villages. This involves activities of water conservation, water harvesting, soil conservation, land development, agro-forestry, plantations, grass/fodder development, biogas, bio-fertliser preparation, etc.. The implermentation of other programme such as community organisation, self help group formation, identification of income generating activities, skill development, credit linking of SHGs, creation of revolving fund and other similar activities area also undertaken. STRENGTH: On the technical side, NCHSE enjoys a substantial staff strength of qualified engineers/diploma holders who easily accomplish the task of construction works which may include Dams, roads, buildings, etc. All the persons are highly experienced and perform the tasks with utmost proficiency and punctuality. There is strong backup of subject matter analysts and specialists, who, depending on the subject and objects of the assignment involve and help the programme monitoring and control. The experts supplement the exercise by involving with high degree of proficiency with their wide experience on the subject they would have dealt with in their jobs or deep knowledge about the subject they possess. There are experts of Forestry, Water Resources, Social interventions, etc on the panel of NCHSE. PAST
EXPERIENCE: (MAIN POINTS): Many of five years programmes, which involve 4 years of working by an NGO and 5th year for the withdrawal and handing over to village community, NCHSE has completed almost all programmes successfully and received maximum appreciation from the sponsors. Implementation of programmes relating to a large variety of subjects ranging from Forest to Agriculture, Livelihood to Health, water conservation to soil conservation and land development, etc. has been managed by NCHSE.

IT GIS(Geographic Information System) activities: NCHSE takes up activity of IT applications and GIS Development. As regards the IT applications, the main set of works include the Software Development for Data Analysis and Data Processing, where as the Data Base preparation type of works are also taken. Most of these relate to certain studies where the primary and secondary data are analysed as per the requirement. Software Development works and MIS preparation works are undertaken. These are special purpose MIS which aim at the generation of results from the point of view of planning and selection of areas for a particular project activity to start, for monitoring of progress of projects, etc. and all aim at supporting the decision making at the top level of programme management. NCHSE specialises in the arena of ICT (Information Communication Technology) sector where it has established itself as the sole powerful NGO in the state to enable Village Networking based on ICT links. Three prestegious projects on ICT village networking are being handled by NCHSE. The biggest advantage with NCHSE is its vast experience on community oriented activities, which is what makes NCHSE different from any other 'just technical' agency. The third area of activity is GIS (Geographic Information System) which is quite an upcoming field in the IT industry. NCHSE has not been involved in the GIS applications activities since the past over 10 years, but it has also established itself as the forerunner in the State of Madhya Pradesh in this sector. The tally of work done by NCHSE include some of the biggest GIS assignments of the country. STRENGTH: NCHSE's key stress has been on simplification of Technology and that is another special characteristic of NCHSE's GIS Works. All along NCHSE has worked and done lot of R&D to evolve simplest, economic solutions of GIS type of complex systems. Not all can afford the GIS technologies because of the high costing. NGOs and small organisations or even government departments and organisations with small budgets, just do not think of the GIS solution just for this reason many times. Others do not consider it as a technology for them at all because it appears to be highly highly technical and complex. NCHSE has succeeded in finding solution to both these problems and has ensured economic and simplified GIS applications for all kinds of end-users. NCHSE not only works on development of IT and GIS solutions but also lays special emphasis on popularising the technological applications for field works. NCHSE conducts workshops and awareness programmes for the government and NGOs to explain the use of the high end technologies such as GIS solutions for day to day works. As
regards the resources, NCHSE has its own GIS Centre at Bhopal at it
office. This is a fully equipped GIS centre with where the following
activities are carried out: PAST
EXPERIENCE:(MAIN POINTS): Many projects were then undertaken by NCHSE for NGOs and govt. departments including district authorities on account of Watershed Development planning and integrated village development activities using GIS. Another mega-assignment done by NCHSE was for DANIDA (Denish International Development Agency) on GIS based MIS for Health Infrastructure and Services in State of Madhya Pradesh, where the Maps and Data for all 54,000 villages of the State were digitised and produced in the form of easy to use GIS package. The assignment was completed in just 7 months duration. The installations of GIS package were done at 313 Block Medical Offices, all the staff and officers were provided training to use GIS and thus the project was also commissioned by it. GIS based MIS for village level planning was developed for UNICEF. This package assists in monitoring of village level activities based on several indicators. Assignments from Karlinska University, Sweden, for TB Control Measures in State, from MPRLP Project for village selection for DFID assisted programme, Aids Control Society etc. were also done. Another assignment being handled by NCHSE is for all State education infrastructure planning and monitoring which covers plotting of schools and other type of centres and data management related to these. NCHSE continues to be a dependable organisation in this field. CLIENTELE:
CONSUMER RIGHTS AND GRIVANCES REDRESSAL NCHSE is involved in the the service to the people from the aspect of the consumer rights awareness, grievances redressal counselling and guidance. This activity was though started on voluntary basis, later it got established through a formal centre DCIC (District Consumer Information Centre) that is sponsored by Ministry of Food and Consumer Affairs. The activity is most needed in the country, but the NGOs have not been able to contribute significantly. NCHSE has constantly pursued the activity through organised efforts involving voluntary workers, many departments and organisations working on Food and drug adulteration, consumer courts/fora etc. STRENGTH: The Centre regularly organises
training programmes, information dissemination camps, seminars and
workshops and supports these activities through distribution of
leaflets, folders, newsletters, etc. There is also a counseling service
available in the Centre. On an average the Citizen's Entitlement
Division deals with about five complaints a day. Apart from giving
advice to the complainants the Centre also acts a representative of the
consumers in the consumers courts in selected cases. PAST
