Cross-Learning for Empowerment – Women from Odisha, Chhattisgarh & Jharkhand Visit SAMPADA, Udupi

An exposure visit by 40 women from Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand to observe our Women Empowerment Programme was held on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 15th, 16th, and 17th.
The women were warmly welcomed at Udupi Railway Station. They were accommodated in the homes of our Self-Help Group members — one participant in each Mahasangha area — to closely observe the functioning of Self-Help Groups and local federations, along with their social, cultural, and economic activities.
Representatives who had come from far-off regions and had never seen the sea were taken to St. Mary's Island and the beach to enjoy some time in the water.
The interactions proved very fruitful for both sides. The visitors learned a great deal through interactive sessions, while our SHG members offered them a taste of our local culture.
The visitors returned with minds full of memories and knowledge, and bags full of gifts.

Miyar’s Kirana Men's SHG Clears Roadside Bushes, Ensures Safer Travel for Villagers

Roads in remote areas are the lifeline for villagers, especially for those living in far-flung corners. The dense, forest-like bushes that grow along these roads often become a haven for snakes, wild animals and other creatures, making travel unsafe. An attack or a bite by such animals on a deserted stretch, with few commuters and hardly any houses by the roadside, can leave travelers in great distress.
Understanding this plight, the members of the Kirana Men's Self-Help Group of Miyar, Karkala Taluk, from the Jogalbettu-Induguri area, along with local residents, came forward to clean the roadside bushes in Jogalbettu-Induguri and make the road safe for travel.
We salute these members for their concern and community spirit in ensuring a safe journey for daily commuters, especially daily wage earners and students.

Men's SHGs Foster Self-Reliance Through Arecanut Plantation at Kera

Income generation is one of the main aims of Self-Help Groups. It can be undertaken individually or collectively. The men's Self-Help Groups of Kera, Hukratte village near Mala in Karkala Taluk — which borders the Kudremukha Reserve Forest — have set an inspiring example.
With the guidance of St. Theresa Parish, Kera-Hukratte, members planted arecanut saplings on church property to ensure the financial stability of the church through future income generation.
Members of Yashaswi, Nidhi, and Belaku Men's Self-Help Groups came together for this initiative. By making the parish self-reliant, the members themselves, who belong to the same parish, are also strengthened. The work was guided by Fr. Paul Cutinha, the Parish Priest.

Monitoring and Supportive Supervision System from Self Help Group to District Level Federation

One of the key principles of the Self-Help Group movement is supportive supervision, where the higher-level organizations and their office bearers visit the lower-level tiers to inspect their documentation, review their functioning, identify any gaps or loopholes in administration, guide the office bearers and members, inspire them to take up more activities, and appreciate their good work.
In our structure: The District Federation office bearers visit the Taluka Federations. The Taluka Federation office bearers visit the Local Federations (Mahasanghas). The Local Federation office bearers visit the Self-Help Groups (SHGs).
This system creates familiarity and rapport between higher-level leaders and grassroots-level office bearers and members. It ensures transparency and accountability in book-keeping and financial management, strengthens democratic functioning, builds leadership and confidence among women, facilitates two-way communication for sharing field-level issues and organizational decisions, and provides timely handholding support for sustainable growth of the SHGs.

Men’s SHG Formation Drive at Thottam St. Ann Parish

On Sunday, 4th October, nearly 35 men from Thottam St. Ann Parish came together, inspired by their Parish Priest Fr. Henry Mascarenhas and meticulously organized by Mr. Leslie Aroza, Vice President of the Parish Pastoral Council.
Mr. Stanly Fernandes, Coordinator, Ms. Prema Baretto, Animator, and Fr. Reginald Pinto, Executive Director, were the resource persons.
The members were made aware of the need for men to come together under the banner of Self-Help Groups for their personal, family, and community development, along with their political, social, and economic empowerment.
Four new SHG groups were formed and, as a symbolic gesture, their report books were handed over to them. The men were happy to be united.

A New Chapter for Farmers – Seven Leaders Step Forward to Form New FPO in Udupi

A meeting of progressive farmers who volunteered to be the Founder Directors for the formation of a new Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) was held on Saturday, 26th September 2026 at 3.00 pm at Alok Hall, Anugraha Pastoral Centre, Kakkunje, Santhekatte, Udupi. Fr. Reginald Pinto, Executive Director, presided over and conducted the meeting. Dr. Eugene D'Souza and Mr. Manoj Rego, Board Directors of SAMPADA, and Mr. Nelson Pais, Board Member of Raita Siri Trust, were present. Eighteen farmers attended the meeting out of the 68 farmer-leaders invited from village and taluka levels.
Fr. Reginald welcomed the gathering and explained the evolution of the project. He traced its history to June 2024, when Mr. Michael D'Souza, philanthropist, proposed the LEAD Project for the betterment of poor farmers. He shared how the concept of collective marketing was developed after extensive fieldwork – nearly 250 meetings covering around 3,500 farmers across villages. He also briefed the members on the formation of Raita Siri Trust and its proposal to promote an FPO.
The following seven farmers volunteered to be the Founder Directors of the new FPO: Mr. Leslie Rebello, Padukone; Mr. Denzil Pinto, Kelmbet; Mr. Nelson Machado, Kanajar; Mr. Anil Fernandes, Barkur; Mr. Joseph Castelino, Shankarpura; Mrs. Joyce Menezes, Attur and Mr. Joseph Anil Correa, Udupi.
It was decided to immediately initiate the formation of the new FPO in Udupi district with a target of enrolling 1,000 shareholders. The future roadmap was also discussed.Fr. Reginald proposed the vote of thanks.

A Small Act, A Big Message of Unity – Mrs. Hilda Castelino Shows the Way

We would like to recognize a special act of community unity by one of our SHG members, who is also the President of one of our Local Federations (Mahasangha).
Mrs. Hilda Castelino is an inspiring personality. She is the President of Fatima Mahasangha (Local Federation), Pernal and a resident of Sooda village, Karkala Taluk.
She has donated a tempo-load full of coconut shells, husks and other combustible materials to the Hindu Public Crematorium, Muktidham, Sooda village. This contribution will help in the cremation of poor and destitute persons.
This is the second time she has made such a donation. These small acts go a long way in strengthening social harmony and unity.
Thank you, Mrs. Hilda, for being a great example to all of us. May many more SAMPADA SHG members follow your inspiring path.
