  11. FINDING OF A RECENT STUDY BY ONE NGO VIKRAMSHILA - SUPPORTED BY UNICEF • DESPITE SHORTFALLS IN DOMAIN SKILLS THE SAHAYIKAS HAVE EMERGED AS INSTRUMENTAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAMME • GENERAL PERCEPTION IS THAT EVEN WITH MUCH FEWER RESOURCES AS COMPAED TO FORMAL SCHOOLS THE SSK CENTERS ARE RUNNING BETTER THAN THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS

  12. OWNERSHIP OF THE COMMUNITY • MANY MANAGING COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE DONATED LAND AND INFRASTUCTURE TO THE SSK CENTERS. EIGHT SUCH CASES WERE FOUND IN SOUTH 24 PARGANAS & TWO WERE FOUND IN BURDWAN OUT OF 50 CENTERS IN OUR SAMPLE…. - STUDY BY VIKRAMSHILA

  14. CLOSE CONTACT WITH SAHAYIKAS IS HELPFUL “ REGULAR SUPPORT THROUGH CONTINUOUS TRAINING & CONTACT PROGRAMS THROUGH AIR & NEWSLETTERS ARE SO HELPFUL ! …”

POSITIVE ROLE OF PANCHAYATS • PANCHAYATS PROVIDE A STRONG SUPPORT TO THE PROGRAMME • RESOURCES OF THE PANCHAYATS ARE UTILISED TO IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE AND QUALITY OF MID DAY MEALS ETC • ORGANISE TRAINING OF SAHAYIKAS AND MANAGING COMMITTEES • SELECT ACADEMIC SUPERVISORS • RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERALL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING OF THE PROGRAMME

WEAKNESSES AND PROBLEMS • PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE HIGHLY INADEQUATE - MANY CENTRES DO NOT HAVE BUILDINGS • TRAINING OF SAHAYIKAS, MANAGING COMITTEES, PANCHAYAT MEMBERS TO BE STRENGTHENED – FUND & CAPACITY ARE MAJOR CONSTRAINTS • IRREGULAR & UNCERTAIN FLOW OF FUND – HONOURARIUM IS IN ARREARS • NEED FOR MAINSTREAMING THE SYSTEM AS A PARALLEL SYSTEM OF EDUCATION UNDER CONTROL OF THE PANCHAYATS
