District Basic Education Project Proposal for District Rampur Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

Low level of literacy has been one of the major constraints in socio-economic development of the District. The World Bank assisted District Basic Education Project shall serve a long felt need of the people of Rampur. It has not been an easy task to formulate a proposed for a group of people so diverse in their socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. They have different priorities and compulsions. It was important to understand their view points before any practical exercise in this regard could be undertaken. Their was no better way to initiate the process than by involving the people themselves. It deserves to be mentioned that some of the best suggestions came from most unexpected quarters like children and almost illiterate men and women. Many, if not all, of these suggestions find place in the proposal.
