Case studyDescription
Oxfam has been supporting the Right To Food (RTF) Campaign in Odisha since 2013, working to create a team of volunteers who empower the community to demand and access the RTF food schemes and monitor the implementation of the same. The RTF Campaign Odisha volunteers work in 10 districts in the state. The volunteers are trained to file queries under the Right To Information (RTI), file complaints with the government and with quasi-judicial bodies, such as the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Odisha Human Rights Commission (OHRC), and to follow up with government officials.
