Case: Ship of Hope in a Valley of Woes
Journal Title: SDMIMD Journal of Management - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The case is about the pioneering and innovative work done by an NGO called "Centre for North-East Studies (C-NES)" in creating health-care delivery system to the 3 million people living in the 2500 island villages in the Brahmaputra river. The Govt. of Assam could not reach these rural people due to poor transport logistics. For the first time, Sanjoy Hazarika, a journalist and Managing Trustee of C-NES came up with the idea of boat-clinics in 2005. The case traces the history and evolution of this initiative and explores the challenges being faced by the entity in achieving long-term sustainability.
