Community Service Project
The Community Service Project employs a phased implementation model to train Master Trainers in community building, participatory research, and community development activities. These Master Trainers will then cascade their knowledge to trainers at district and mandal levels, fostering community development across Andhra Pradesh.
Implementation Model:
- Phase 1:Identification and Training of Master Trainers: Educational institutions/BCDE identify Master Trainers who undergo comprehensive training on community building and participatory research. Training incorporates both theoretical and practical elements.
- Phase 2:Development of Trainer Cadre: Master Trainers further develop a team of trainers to be deployed at district and mandal levels for program implementation.
- Phase 3:Program Delivery: The program entails 6 days of rigorous training. Three days of sessions are conducted online, while the remaining three days are held offline at Vijayawada, the current capital of Andhra Pradesh.
Key Outputs:
- 175 Master Trainers Oriented: Through online sessions, 175 Master Trainers across Andhra Pradesh have been trained on community building and participatory research.
- Over 150 Master Trainers Trained Offline: Over 150 Master Trainers have attended offline sessions at Acharya Nagarjuna University, Vijayawada, enhancing their practical skills.
