trainin

NGO at Srivilliputhur Block, and 15 volunteers of FORD

Virudunagar District.
Volunteers from NEEDS have conducted the audit in 4 villages.
Thealso later met the parents in the village and discussed about
th
findings from their evaluation and urged them to follow up with
th
school.
One interesting feature of the NEEDS initiative is the
involvement of volunteers from local womens groups. Many
women, who also happened to be mothers, took part in the
learning audit. They were shocked by the results of the
audit, and are also determined to do this survey with children
in their own villages!
