# SATRA — Additional Findings (Beyond the Organization Profile & Programs Files)

> This is a **new, separate file** capturing information found *after* `SATRA_Organization_Profile.md` and `SATRA_Programs.md` were first written. It does not repeat what's already in those two files, except where new evidence directly updates/corrects something stated there (clearly flagged below). Built primarily from a deep read of the **FY2020-21 "Annual Activity & Audit Report"** (`SATRA_AR_i.pdf`, 78 pages) — a combined narrative + full statutory-audit document, which turned out to contain the richest, most granular financial data found for **any** organization in this entire research project.

## 1. MAJOR FINDING: A Complete, Named, Grant-by-Grant Audited Financial Statement (FY2020-21)

Unlike PESCH (where only one clean audited statement was recoverable, for FY2020-21, via OCR-affected text), **SATRA's FY2020-21 audit — by Rajesh Goenka & Associates, Chartered Accountants, Guwahati — was extracted with high confidence** and includes a full Balance Sheet, Income & Expenditure Account, and (unusually) a **line-by-line schedule naming every single grant received that year, by funder and exact amount.**

### Headline figures, FY2020-21 (year ended 31 March 2021)
- **Total Income: ₹1,96,20,923.12** (~₹1.96 crore) — Interest ₹2,99,599 + Grants ₹1,69,75,320.12 + Donations/Contributions ₹22,96,335 + Other Income ₹49,669.
- **Total Expenditure: ₹1,81,85,441.54** (~₹1.82 crore).
- **Surplus for the year: ₹14,35,481.58** (compare to the prior year, FY2019-20: surplus of ₹6,92,649.32 — SATRA's income/surplus roughly doubled year-on-year, likely reflecting COVID-19-era emergency funding inflows).
- **General Fund closing balance carried forward: ₹52,96,746.31** (FY2019-20 closing) → **₹67,32,227.89** implied for FY2020-21 close (opening + surplus).
- **This confirms SATRA operates at a substantially larger financial scale than PESCH** (whose FY2020-21 total grant-in-aid was ~₹18 lakh, roughly one-tenth of SATRA's ~₹1.7 crore in grants the same year) — a useful scale comparator between the two organizations researched in this project's Assam/Manipur NGO set.

### Named Grants Received, FY2020-21 (Schedule K — the single richest funder-attribution table found in this entire project)

| Funder | Purpose | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| NEDFi | Pilot Programme on Eri Cloth Production | 63,400 |
| Oxfam (India) | Contingency Stock Management | 87,750 |
| Oxfam (India) | COVID-19 Response 2020 | 1,16,200 |
| Voluntary Health Association of India (VHAI) | Immunization Project | 2,00,000 |
| Oxfam (India) | Warehouse | 3,60,310 |
| TDH (Germany) | Protection of Children's Right, Udalguri District | *(figure affected by OCR ambiguity — cross-check against the ₹14,03,573.19 expenditure figure for the same project below)* |
| Oxfam (India) | Brahmaputra River Basin Resilience Building Programme | 22,98,371.17 |
| CASA | "A Step Ahead" project | 7,99,633 (approx.) |
| Jiv Daya Foundation | Ration kits for COVID-19 distribution | 2,99,999.95 |
| Oxfam (India) | Mason Charge | 8,400 |
| **Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives (APPI)** | **Community Mental Health** | **1,11,49,200** — by far the single largest grant, ~66% of all grant income that year |
| CHILDLINE India Foundation | Integrated Child Protection Project | 10,10,153 |
| **TOTAL** | | **1,69,75,320.12** |

*(Note: some individual line-item figures above carry moderate OCR-extraction uncertainty due to the source PDF's degraded/skewed text layer — the TOTAL figure and the APPI, VHAI, Oxfam-Brahmaputra, Jiv Daya, and CHILDLINE figures are high-confidence; a couple of the smaller Oxfam sub-grants and the CASA/TDH figures should be treated as approximate pending a cleaner re-read.)*

### Named Project Expenditures, FY2020-21 (Schedule M)

| Project | Expenditure (₹) |
|---|---|
| Immunization Project | 4,13,002 |
| **"Samvidhan Live! Be a Jagrik" journey implementation** | 63,400 |
| COVID-19 Response 2020 | 2,00,000 |
| Contingency Stock Management | 1,16,200 |
| Brahmaputra River Basin Resilience Building Programme | 6,00,053.25 |
| FCRA Expenses (compliance) | 3,12,534.53 |
| Protection of Children's Right, Udalguri District | 14,03,573.19 |
| "A Step Ahead" Project | 7,99,384.25 |
| **Community Mental Health Programme & Empowering PWDs (APPI)** | **60,40,991.45** — the largest single project expenditure |
| Integrated Child Protection Project (CHILDLINE) | 15,38,760.42 |
| **TOTAL** | **1,14,87,899.09** |

### Multi-Year Rolling Grant Provisions (Schedule N) — confirms these are multi-year grants, not one-off annual awards
Three projects show an explicit **opening balance → expenditure → new grant received → closing provision** rollover structure, proving they span multiple financial years:
- **TDH Germany (Udalguri Children's Protection):** Opening ₹10,52,771 → Expenditure ₹14,03,573 → New grant ₹22,98,371 → Closing provision ₹24,56,344 for the *next* year — wait, structure shows opening 1,052,771, then closing to 2,456,344 after netting — confirming a substantial *carried-forward* fund balance still available for future years.
- **CASA ("A Step Ahead"):** Opening ₹4,94,643 → Expenditure ₹7,99,384 → New grant ₹7,99,633 → Closing provision ₹12,94,027.
- **APPI (Community Mental Health & PWDs):** Opening ₹44,37,521 → Expenditure ₹60,40,991.50 → New grant ₹1,11,49,200 → Closing provision ₹1,04,78,512 — this is a **very large, actively-managed multi-year grant pool**, consistent with APPI/Azim Premji Foundation being SATRA's single largest and clearly longest-term institutional funder.

### Banking & Treasury Detail (new — not previously captured)
- **Bank accounts:** Multiple **UCO Bank** accounts (at least 9 distinct account numbers), an **Assam Co-Operative Apex Bank** account, an **SBI** account, and a **North East Small Finance Bank (NESFB)** account.
- **Investments:** Fixed Deposits held with **UCO Bank** (₹34 lakh) and **NESFB** (₹18 lakh), plus a **₹4 lakh SBI Mutual Fund investment** — this is the **only NGO in this entire research project found to hold a mutual fund investment**, suggesting a comparatively sophisticated treasury/reserves management approach relative to PESCH, MOSONiE, Diya Foundation, or Projonmo.
- **A loan/advance to "Satra Silk"** (₹52,170) appears on the balance sheet — indicating SATRA has (or had, as of FY2020-21) an internal enterprise or subsidiary-style entity called "Satra Silk," presumably linked to its sericulture programme — not mentioned anywhere else in the sources reviewed. **This is a notable new lead for follow-up:** is "Satra Silk" a registered subsidiary, a cooperative, or an informal internal brand for SATRA's sericulture-marketing activities?

## 2. Confirmed Full Legal/Registration Numbers (previously only listed as document *categories*, now with actual numbers)

| Registration | Number/Detail |
|---|---|
| Societies Registration Act, 1860 | No. RS/DAR/247/C/10 of 2002-03 |
| NITI Aayog Darpan | Unique ID: AS/2017/01533817 |
| Income Tax Act 1961 | 12A & 80G |
| FCRA | No. 020740039 |
| **National Trust (for Autism, under the "PWD Act")** | No. 210716131855007/MR/CP/AUTISM/MD |
| Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) | No. NEGHY/9388 |
| TAN | SHLS04922B |
| PAN | AAETS7554F |
| Credibility Alliance accreditation | Vide CA/20/2015 |

**New finding: SATRA holds a "National Trust" registration specifically for Autism-related disability work** (National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities — an Indian government statutory body). This had not surfaced in either the website or the FY2023-24 report reviewed previously, and suggests SATRA runs, or has run, a distinct autism/disability-specific service line not otherwise documented in `SATRA_Programs.md`.

## 3. COVID-19 Response — Full Detail Not Previously Captured

The FY2023-24 report (used for `SATRA_Programs.md`) did not include a dedicated COVID-19 section; the **FY2020-21 report devotes its entire opening section to COVID-19 response**, with substantially more detail than anything previously found:

- **Pre-lockdown (March 2020):** 20 volunteers trained in-house; 5,000 Assamese-language pamphlets published/distributed (prevention techniques, symptoms) plus 2,000 additional pamphlets supplied by the Darrang District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA); door-to-door campaigns demonstrating 6-step handwashing technique; village "miking" (loudspeaker) awareness campaigns from 12-24 March 2020. **Reach: 20,000+ households in Darrang district and 6,000+ households in Udalguri district** reached before lockdown began.
- **Vulnerable-group targeting:** SATRA's existing **850 mentally-ill-person households** (under the Community Mental Health programme) were specifically visited for door-to-door COVID awareness, given their heightened vulnerability.
- **During lockdown:** Oxfam India ran a 3-day advanced COVID-19 webinar training attended by 5 senior SATRA staff; **80 volunteers trained and formally registered with DDMA Darrang** for emergency deployment.
- **Relief distribution:** **7,000 families in Darrang & Udalguri districts given one month's dry ration**, funded jointly by **APPI, TDH Germany, CASA, and Aman Biradari Trust**. Separately, **Oxfam India funded a direct Unconditional Cash Transfer of ₹5,000 each to 232 very poor families.**
- **Mental health continuity:** More than **1,100 mental-illness patients** were at risk of medicine/treatment disruption; **APPI stepped in to fund continued medicinal support**, and online psychiatrist consultations were organized during lockdown.
- **Migrant labour support:** SATRA worked with multiple government and NGO stakeholders to help stranded migrant labourers return home, and assisted labourers intercepted by police while walking home during the lockdown by connecting them with local NGOs at their location.
- **New named COVID-era funders not found elsewhere:** **Aman Biradari Trust**, **Jiv Daya Foundation** (₹2,99,999.95 specifically for COVID-19 ration-kit distribution), **CASA** (Church's Auxiliary for Social Action), **Habitat India**, **Action Aid Association**, and coordination with **ASDMA** (Assam State Disaster Management Authority) and the **Darrang & Udalguri district police/administration/DDMA**.

## 4. Complete FY2020-21 Governance & Staffing Detail (a snapshot 3 years earlier than the FY2023-24 data already in the Profile file — enabling a real trend comparison)

### Board of Directors, FY2020-21 (full list with occupations — richer than any previously captured roster)
| Name | Designation | Occupation |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Prasanna Kumar Nath | Chairman | Associate Professor, Sipajhar College |
| Dr. Bazrul Islam | Member | Veterinary Officer, Mangaldai |
| Dr. Arup Kr. Nath | Member | Assistant Professor, Tezpur University |
| Mrs. Purnima Bora | Member | Subject Teacher, Kamrup Academy Higher Secondary School, Guwahati |
| Mrs. Binita Saharia | Member | Teacher |
| **Mrs. Jyoti Prova Bora** | Member | Assistant Teacher, Bordoulguri High School — **this is SATRA's own 2002 founder, confirmed still serving on the Board nearly 20 years later**, despite having left the Chief Functionary role in 2003 |
| Mr. Kamal Bhattacharjya | Member | Advocate, Guwahati High Court |
| Dr. Aswini Kalita | Member | Associate Professor, Sipajhar College |
| Dr. Amarendra Narayan Dev | Member | Physician & Social Worker |
| Mrs. Biju Hazarika | Member | Social Worker |
| Nani Kumar Saikia | Executive Director | CEO, SATRA |

**Board met 4 times in FY2020-21** (27 June, 31 October 2020; 10 January, 14 March 2021), attendance ranging 5-10 of 11 members.

### Staffing & Volunteer Trend — a genuine multi-year comparison now possible
| Metric | FY2020-21 | FY2023-24 (from Profile file) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time staff | 37 (26 male, 11 female) | 8 permanent + 76 contractual = 85 (57 male, 28 female, per one table) | Substantial growth in total headcount, though the FY2023-24 figure blends permanent+contractual differently than FY2020-21's "full-time" category, so this is not a perfectly like-for-like comparison |
| Part-time staff | 0 | 1 (audit) | — |
| Volunteers | **260** | **312** | +52 (+20%) |
| Salary bands | Up to ₹5,000: 0; ₹5,001-10,000: 15; ₹10,001-25,000: 16; ₹25,001-50,000: 6 | Up to ₹10,000: 11; ₹10,001-25,000: 64; ₹25,001-50,000: 7; above ₹50,000: 3 | Clear evidence of both headcount growth and a new top salary band (above ₹50,000) appearing by FY2023-24 that didn't exist in FY2020-21 |

**Open question:** the FY2020-21 board roster (11 named individuals with occupations) does **not** include Mr. Kamal Bhatta or Dr. Dinesh Baishya, both of whom are named as board members in `SATRA_Organization_Profile.md` based on other sources — either board composition changed between FY2020-21 and the present, or these two sources are describing slightly different points in time. Worth reconciling directly against a more recent board list.

## 5. "Samvidhan Live! Be a Jagrik" — A Third Northeast India NGO Confirmed Running This National Program

SATRA's FY2020-21 audited expenditure schedule includes a **₹63,400 line item for "Samvidhan Live! Be a Jagrik" journey implementation**. This is the **same national constitutional-literacy program for adolescents** (originally from "The Jagrik Project," now stewarded by Commutiny — The Youth Collective) that was separately identified in this project's **Diya Foundation research** (as a program mentioned in Diya's FY2018-19 report). **SATRA is now the third Northeast India NGO found to have implemented this specific national program** (after Diya Foundation), reinforcing the earlier observation that certain national civic-education/capacity-building programs circulate through a shared network of regional grassroots NGOs.

---

## 6. Additional Named Funders Found Only in the FY2020-21 Report (not in the FY2023-24 report used for the Programs file)

Beyond the extensive funder list already in `SATRA_Organization_Profile.md`, the FY2020-21 report specifically names these funders/partners for the **first time** in this research (i.e., not found in the FY2023-24 report or website pages reviewed previously):
- **NEDFi** (North Eastern Development Finance Corporation) — funding a "Pilot Programme on Eri Cloth Production"
- **Voluntary Health Association of India (VHAI)** — funding a **routine Immunization Project** (distinct from the "VHAA" acronym listed elsewhere, which may be a related or the same organization written inconsistently)
- **Aman Biradari Trust** — COVID-19 relief co-funder
- **Jiv Daya Foundation** — COVID-19 ration-kit funder
- **CASA** (Church's Auxiliary for Social Action) — funder of the "A Step Ahead" project and a COVID-19 relief co-funder
- **Habitat India** and **Action Aid Association** — named as COVID-era supporters (role/amount not itemized in the financial schedules extracted)

This significantly extends the funder list beyond what was captured in `SATRA_Organization_Profile.md`, and should be merged into that file's funder list in a future consolidation pass.
