More interaction of villagers with the professionals would make them aware of education, politics and health issues

Meetings upto 4 times a month and atleast 1 depending on schedule of people

They would direct the students on how to prepare well for these

Engage people speaking tribal language to teach in primary schools in villages

Inshort – ENCOURAGE STUDENTS-to prepare for national level tests and make them competitive….
