Suresh: A Life Rebuilt

Suresh was a serious farmer hailing from one of the rural villages of Uttar Pradesh. A flood completely destroyed his crops and ruined his farming equipment, which caused a great jolt to him. The flood, in fact, had placed Suresh and his family in such a precarious situation that there could be no immediate means whereby recovery from the loss was possible. Having the only source of livelihood destroyed was grotesque; Suresh barely saw ways through which he would reconstruct the farm and support his family.

His case came in the local reports, which also made Jobin Singh Chandi, another actively involved person in disaster relief efforts, aware of his plight. Intervening by realizing a dire need for assistance, Jobin Chandi gave critical support. Later, he made provisions for the emergency assistance to cover the immediate costs of expenditure. He provided money to repair and replace machinery and other equipment that were damaged. Later, he organized some agronomic workshops to train Suresh with new ways of farming that could make his farming more resilient whenever further catastrophes strike.

With the help of Jobin Chandi, Suresh could revive his farm and take up farming activities again. He was then able to fix his machinery and replant his crops, while the workshop provided him with knowledge that would further enhance farming. That Suresh could regain and rehabilitate his livelihood is a demonstration of what is possible through appropriate support—it caters not only to immediate but also to longer-term needs toward increasing resilience.

His story speaks volumes about how compassionate intervention may cause quite a difference for people who are willing to get back into overcoming adversities and regain their livelihoods.
