Major Activities to strengthen SMC members:-

Phase-II       Training of Executive Committee Members:

To create awareness & sensitize the community /SMC about their roles regarding various schemes of govt. under Samagra Shiksha, Community Mobilization campaigns / workshops at district and block level are organized. These programmes bridge the gap between school and community. Community and school partnership increase the participation, involvement and ownership among Community toward schools, hence school and community work together with a shared vision towards quality improvement in all the aspects.

 

1. Community mobilization; It would be impossible for RTE as well as Samagra Shiksha to succeed without people’s support and ownership. The RTE mandate for age appropriate admission of every out-of-school child, special training for each child to enable his/her to cope in school, promoting child-friendly child centered and activity based learning processes, which is free of anxiety, trauma and fear sets the agenda for proactive community participation. Community participation would be a central and overarching factor in planning, implementation and monitoring interventions for universal elementary education. Samagra Shiksha is working towards enhancing participation of the community, parents, teachers and children by awareness generation and interventions for community mobilization. To facilitate such a massive mobilization and solicit active participation, state, district, block and cluster offices of Samagra Shiksha are need to join hands with experienced and active civil society organizations.

Community Mobilization activities:-

District, block and cluster level workshops: To create awareness & sensitize the community /SMC about their roles regarding various schemes of Govt. under Samagra Shiksha a Mega Drive for all stake holders is organized at district, block and cluster level involving politicians, administrators and other dignitaries to ensure the participation of Community at large scale. The learning outcomes, roles and drug abuse, Clean India-Green India, Uses & Misuses of Electronic Media and Beti Bachao Beti Padao and all round development of students are also ensured.
