5. TRAINING:

a. Program Implementation, Training and Monitoring Plan-2015

An Annual Detailed Implementation Plan was the need of hour for conducting the activities throughout the year with uniformity and to help the district team for prior planning before the commencement of activity. After thoughtful discussions on all aspects of the program certain new activities were also devised to make the program more vibrant with the ground level realities. We have adopted term “Year Planner” rather than calendar as it is more than a diary of events and avoids confusion with the use of “Outlook Calendar”. The aim of this document is to share the key benefits as outlined below: a tool to recognize the full range of activity in District/CFS/CLCs over a session. A planning tool to schedule activities/events over the school session agreeing where possible time requirements a strategy to schedule workload across the District/CFS/CLCs by recognizing potential pressure points and whenever possible minimizing these and spreading activities/events accordingly an opportunity to involve all staff in joint planning for the year ahead. A live working document which remains a constant point of reference for all staff throughout the session and is subject to regular monitoring/review and update. Comprehensive instructions and planner was issued to all districts. Training plan 2015 is attached as Annex-A.

Activities have been accomplished as per Training Plan 2015-Punjab till 30th Apr, 15 is given below:-

The preparation and publication of an annual report is a task that can consume many man-hours of valuable staff time and thousands of Rupees from budgets.

In case of NCHD-Punjab however the preparation and publishing of the report was given due importance as it was considered as a reference document for the activities performed during the calendar year. The annual activity report 2014 Punjab presents the activities conducted and achievements reached. It is the "mirror" of the annual work program. NCHD Punjab team has shown utmost dedication and professional commitment towards achieving the targets which were set for the province in the year 2014. The focus remained on making NCHD within the province of Punjab more vibrant, effective and result oriented support agency in future.
