2. What is so (sep)cial about CK The Compassionate Kozhikode initiative is designed to make Kozhikode a better place, to live and to visit. The thoughts that spring to your mind when you think of Kozhikode will be hospitality, warmth and most importantly, compassion. It is an extension of brotherly love. This is an inherent quality of all human beings. Compassionate Kozhikode  is a platform which aims to bring together people with the sole aim of making a better Kozhikode . The  project  was launched on October 3rd 2015 by the District Collector and the District Magistrate . CK believes in 'Create Better Places for People to Live & Visit.'  2

3. CK mission will unite people share the feeling of ' Mohabbat ' and thereby create a haven on earth. CK was started by then Kozhikode collector Prasanth Nair and now led by present collector U V Jose . The core idea of CK is social development through community participation, this can be considered as the most successful gov. led community participation program.    3

4. Collector bro Prasanth Nair IAS , a 32 year old civil servant who is popularly known as ‘ collector bro’ started the project CK. He believes “ Compassion is the cornerstone of successful administration. Most issues have a solution in compassion. I’ve found that most of the issues I’ve faced in office have come about due to a lack of compassion.  4

It’s as simple as that. Pasting notices on the notice boards of the village office is no longer the way to reach out to the public. Social media as a platform makes administration more transparent, seamless, fast, publicly accountable, and ‘informal’,” says Prashanth ,   7

10. Operation Sulaimani Sulaimani originally is a rare blend of tea, lime and warmth. Operation Sulaimani ensures no one in Kozhikode is denied food on account of an empty wallet without answering any questions. This initiative is run in partnership with and Hotel and Restaurants association and public support. 10

11. 'Any one' can collect a Sulaimani Coupon from one of the authorised distribution centers. Exchange this for a meal in one of the many 100 partner restaurants and have a hearty meal with dignity. A donation box is kept at these restaurants for the public to contribute. Money from this collection is consistently collected by CK volunteers and deposited in a bank account managed by the Hotels & Restaurants Association. How does operation sulaimani work? 11

12. District Collector’s Internship Program How many of us haven't cursed the way our Government functions? This is an opportunity to work closely with the Government. DCIP is an opportunity for interns from educational institutes, NGOs and Corporates to work under the leadership of the district administration . 12

13. In DCIP interns have to work in a team, as well as independently understanding the value of compassion in problem solving. This unpaid internship can be done from two months to a year depending on the availability of the interns. On successful completion the interns will be given an experience certificate. Interns will be directly working on many of the projects / initiatives explained under CK and many more initiatives that keeps coming up from the District Administration. The first phase in of internship saw more than seven hundred applications out of which only thirty were selected. Internship program is mentored by Indian Institute of Management - Kozhikode. Professional mentors come from as varied field as Medicine to Social Entrepreneurship. 13

15. Savarigirigiri It is a normal scene across Kerala where you can see students standing in buses, mostly ignored and harassed by private buses. Savarigirigiri was launched to bring dignity to student passengers with the help of smart card , the bus owners association will have an understanding about the number of students who have travelled with them and the potential loss is absorbed by the association which is further divided amongst individual buses operators. Bus Operators also now have the option to keep donation boxes through which they can raise funds from the public hence making up for the 'absorbed losses' as well. 15

16. Sampoorna is the project to inform people about the all types of government programs, schemes, initiatives etc. This resulted very good response in butterfly project, insurance scheme by government, schemes by P anchayaths etc. Place your screenshot here 16 Sampoorna

18. Place your screenshot here 18 CK currently training volunteers to document destination stories on wikipedia , blogs, youtube video, open street maps etc so that mapping becomes a culture of 'CK'. If you are interested in joining us as a volunteer please write to us with a subject " Kozhipedia ". Our dream is to make a people's map of Kozhikode, where the content belongs to our people and not some corporates. KOZHIPEDIA

19. Educational Scholarships There are many students in our districts who can't afford studies due to financial restrictions. District Administration is playing the role of a facilitator to match the needs of such students with the support of those who would like to fund their studies. Here, the donor is only contributing in a way that each other’s privacy and dignity is respected and maintained. Donor is contributing to a system and not to an individual or group of individuals.  Applications are being accepted from deserving students and families, and linked to compassionate hearts  19

20. Freedom Cafe Where sharing is an art. This is a cafe run by Student Volunteers. You place your order like in any restaurant and enjoy your meal. However before you leave, we don't intent to give you a bill, except a thank you note. Some one else has already paid your bill. You are welcome to pay for the next person(s) so that the loop continues. Here, paying is an art and never maths . There's no compulsion to pay at all.   20

21. Legends of Kozhikode There are many people around us who do things unique, compassionate, innovative and different without ever getting noted, Legends of Kozhikode is an attempt to bring out unknown positive energy in everyone and making them ambassadors of district to make a better kozhikode . wall painting Cleaning water bodies Beautifying city 21

23. Tere Mere Beach Mein Even though Kozhikode beach is one of the most popular places In the city, the beach is not up kept and is quite dirty. The huge crowd coming to the beach and lack of proper waste collection and disposal mechanism makes Kozhikode beach one of the dirtiest beaches in Kerala . CK identified six business groups as partners who would take up the responsibility to maintain the Kozhikode beach. The partner incurs the cost of maintenance of the beach .. The uniqueness of the project is that this project has been taken up by the partners as a good will gesture without any claim to advertise or commercial benefits 23
