​Abhijit Das addressing in a Panel Discussion on Eliminating Violence against Women - 16th Meeting, 35th Regular Session Human Rights Council 
0n 13 June 2017, Geneva

"Do not forget the potential of new leadership. We have to build upon new leaders. But what we find, there are lots of silent men; they are silent because the existing social norm and value system is something they do not identify with. Once we have given them the new cause, a new set of social values to aspire for, then they start taking leadership action. What we have consistently found in our work that people who have drawn to this kind of work become leaders. They are willing to take that extra step to move beyond changes in their own lives and then become kinds of ambassadors for change for others. Therefore, investment in leadership is very crucial…" - Abhijit Das

Our Health Our Money - Part 2
Health related expenditures have been identified as one of the major causes of rural impoverishment in many developing countries including India. The declining  financial resources allocated  by the state has  resulted in forcing  people to pay from their pocket for health care even as the  unofficial and informal payments continue in whatever public health services that are still delivered.  The inadequacy shown by the community in asking any question on the functioning of the health system and more so regarding the utilization of the financial resources in health such as untied funds to the PHC, sub-centre and to each of the Village Health Nutrition and Sanitation Committees (VHNSC) or the disbursement of Maternal Protection Scheme (Janani Suraksha Yojana  -JSY) etc., has been a critical area which needed intervention.  The community monitoring and planning  advocated by civil society and also  promoted by the government under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) has yielded positive results. However, it has been an uphill task to include the issues of health budget and flow of money into the processes of monitoring which is a challenging task. This documentary captures such an effort done in 12 villages of Bolangir district, Orissa State, India where community is taught as to the money that is allocated to various schemes at the community level to  deliver health entitlements. Such demand for accountability is done while the community is actively engaging with the public health system within the larger processes of community mobilisation and monitoring to demand accountability from the health system.  Our Health Our Money, a film produced by CHSJ showcases the work done in Odisha around decentralised monitoring of health expenditure. The film is 25 minutes, with English subtitles.
