Collaboration Efforts • External academic exposures and interactions for DIET faculties • Formation of Collaboration Coordination Committee (CCC)
Issues • Choice of teachers for MRPs • Exceeding 20-day training limit for MRPs • Integration of concepts and efforts at BRC and CRC levels • Decentralized training from block to cluster • Transfers • Identity - Insider Outsider • Multiple reporting of BRC. MRP – Master Resource Person BRC – Block Resource Center CRC – Cluster Resource Center BRC – Block resource Coordinator BRP – Block Resource Person CRP – Cluster Resource Person
Insights • External intervention with ‘understanding of internal environment’ works better in the system. • Participatory approach -though time consuming essential for working in /with the system. • Dealing with discomforts is a key prerequisite. • Focus on ‘what works’ • Begin with ‘understanding others’
