II. Background
Pratham was established in 1995 in Mumbai. Since then, the organisation has grown both in
scope and geographical coverage. Since its formation, the organisation has grown into a pan-
India movement with programs reaching millions of children in rural and urban areas across the
country. Our programs are designed to address a gamut of educational problems- pre-school
education, learning support to both in-school and out of school children, mainstreaming of out-
of-school children and vocational training for youth.
Pratham in Chhattisgarh
Our work in Chhattisgarh started in 2007-08 in collaboration with the Rajiv Gandhi Shiksha
Mission and UNICEF to work in Salwa Judum camps in Naxal-affected territories. The focus of
the program was to improve basic language and mathematics skills of displaced children in these
camps. Additionally, the mandate required us to work with and encourage school teachers to
apply Pratham’s interactive techniques of accelerated learning. About 25 Pratham personnel
stayed in the camps for more than four months. Pre tests and post tests of the children were
conducted and showed substantial improvement in the learning levels.
Currently, Pratham is working in 16 blocks across 11 districts in Chhattisgarh.
About Dantewada
Dantewada district is known as South Bastar where most of the population belongs to the tribal
community. The main occupations of these people are farming, daily wage labor works,
collecting forest products and earn their livelihood. Geographically, this area is filled with
natural resources but from several years this place has been affected by Maoists and for this
reason the financial and social condition of the population has been adversely affected.
4
Due to the lack of basic facilities, this area is
extremely backward. Most of the part of this area
is covered with forests and mountains where there
is scarcity of proper roads, modes of transportation
& low educational level due to lack of awareness.
The main occupation of people here is to collect
forest yields and most of the people are involved in
it in which they collect ‘Tendu Patta’, ‘Mahua’,
‘Tora’, Wood, Tamarind, Charoli and hunt
animals. In this occupation, most of the children
are also involved with their parents and thus they could not focus on their school and studies.
This is the main reason behind the lower learning levels of the place.
Objectives: -
Children of Standard 3-8 to achieve proper reading ability and arithmetic skills to do at least
addition, subtraction, multiplication & division of 3 digits.
In all the 826 schools across 4 blocks of Dantewada is the part of this program
III. Program Implementation
Training
From 31st May to 5th June 2016, 54 CACs & 54 teachers were trained for 6 days in the district by
Pratham Personnel. After the training, all the trained MTs have conducted 15 days practice
classes. After this, these MTs trained 1652 teachers across all the 4 blocks in CAMaL pedagogy.
Class Management
After training pre tests were conducted to know the present levels of children of reading and
solving mathematics problem. As per the test results, students were divided in groups as per their
learning levels and not their standards. In each schools 3 hours time was allotted for this
5
program. In this time the children who faced difficulty in reading and solving mathematics were
taught with the help of CAMaL and the children with good learning levels were taught as per
their syllabus. Groupwise TLM was also provided in soft copies by Pratham which was printed
by the district government.
Methodology
Combined Activities for Maximized Learning
(CAMaL), is a pedagogy innovated by Pratham
that evolved as a result of hands-on experience in
different locations and at various stages of work. It
begins with identifying the learning levels of
children instead of assuming their levels based on
their age or grades. The techniques are geared to
help learners achieve all 5 competencies –
Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing and Doing. This pedagogy is used to train the teachers
and they then teach the children by dividing them according to their learning levels and not the
standards.
Monitoring
Regular monitoring has been done by the BRCC, BEO, ABEO, BRP and Pratham team in the
district level from time to time. While monitoring Pratham CRL also provide required support to
the teachers and whenever teacher find any difficulty, the CRL also help him by conducting a
demo class.
Library
With providing support and monitoring in the
schools in morning time our CRLs also conduct
library classes in the evening time in 50 villages
across the district. Each CRL is responsible for
6
conducting such classes in 10 villages. Library classes are conducted in the evening time in the
community where children are made to sit in around 5-6 groups of 5-6 children in each group in
the community in which the students of class 3rd to 8th standard are included irrespective of
whether they are from government or private school. Each group has 1 leader made among the
children and 1 guardian or volunteer is appointed for each group. The objective of this program
is to promote group learning and self learning among children and to encourage community
engagement.
IV. Coverage
This program is been conducted in 826 schools of Kuakonda, Katekalyan, Dantewada & Geedam
blocks of Dantewada among which students of standard 3 to 8 of 526 primary schools and 230
upper-primary schools are involved.
V. Assessment
To keep an eye on the progress of the program, all the students were tested 2 times in the year.
Pre-tests were conducted in the month of August and post-tests were conducted in the month of
March. These testing were done by the teachers using various testing tools and were based on
Hindi and Mathematics subject. By comparing the data of post-test from that of pre-test, one
could measure the improvement in the children with the help of the program.

VI. Findings & Suggestions
Around 45% children were not able to recognise even letters and 56% children were not able
to recognise single digit numbers in the base line tests in the district so it is clear that there is
need to work a lot with the children of std. 1 & 2.
Many children get stuck in the word and paragraph level irrespective of their standards so if
more focus will be given on these levels, good and long-term results could be achieved.
It is really a great matter of concern that many children of std. 6 to 8 are not able to recognise
letters and numbers. There is need to work on the basic competencies in these standards too.
As per this year results, good progress could be seen in children so this year there is need to
focus on further competencies and new testing tools would be needed for the same.
This year, teachers’ could prepare a learning plan for each school after analysing and
understanding the data.
CAC’s played a very important role in the whole program and this year efforts should be
made for their capacity building.
Few people should be given the responsibility of this program in district level who could
constantly instruct others.
The program should also be evaluated by any outside organisation.
There is need to conduct this program for longer period so that teachers could adopt this
methodology and to achieve long term results.
30
VII. Challenges
Several times program faces delay due to administration reasons.
Teachers misunderstood the evaluation method with their performance evaluation as they
fail to understand the method properly and thus in some places, evaluation was not done
properly.
Many programs of various other organisations are going on Dantewada among which
coordination is needed.
VIII. Conclusion
Good results are achieved in such a short period in the district but there is still need to work in a
focused way and to focus on higher competencies. ICDS should also be involved in this
program. Teachers should also be trained in how to understand the data and plan accordingly.
IX. Further Plans
Efforts would be made to involve Anganwadi with the program by talking with ICDS.
Teachers’ training will be conducted for higher competencies and data analysis.
Library program will be extended more to connect and engage the community with
education.
Learning plans will be prepared for all the schools on the basis of last year results.
