After initial contact had been
made in Bhuj, the project started in April 2003. The
implementation was divided into two phases. The
first learning phase was planned for 18 months in which 200
villages were to be taken up. With a revision in
targets, however, 400 villages were taken up in the
first phase, and the second phase was preponed by
six months to April 2004. |
|
|
|
In the second phase, activities
were scaled up and ISAs and volunteers were
carefully selected for specific activities, and
campaigns and capacity building exercises were
carried out on a larger scale than had been planned. |
|
|
|
Presently, all 1,260 villages
have been taken up for implementation. |
