Our project staffs given special emphasis on community mobilization through mass meetings village level meetings and meeting with the women organization in village level, women self help groups and aware them on education, social evils eradication and removal of blind believes. During the last six months we have organized about 22 meetings where about 3605 target illiterate women and 5640 people, women organization members and people representatives attained the meetings. After the community mobilization programme 30% of attendance has been increased in our education center’s.

There are 7 to 9 members of each committees comprised of an Educated person like Head master of concerned village school or retired teacher, the PRI members, Anganwadi works, and the word members of the ward or village. The role and responsibility also detail discussed with them and the committees have taken the responsibility of monitoring the programmes as well short out the problems concerned with the Centre and take care of well running of the Centers.
Supply of Teaching Learning Materials: The teaching learning materials like Computer, speakers, Primer books, Note books and pens have been supplied to each centers and learners. But there is one difficulty that among the 35 learners only 30 have got the materials and rest 5 having other materials but without the primer book and it create a difficult situation there. With the collaboration of our other programme KARMI mobilize some teaching learning materials and provide to the new learners. There is more demand of TLM but we are unable to supply as per the requirement.
