Adani Foundation is implementing Uthhan Project in 46 government-run primary schools of Dosinga, Karanjmal and Paiksahi educational cluster of Dhamra region under Bhadrak District. The project is striving to ensure grade-specific learning level among over 3000 primary school children on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) by engaging 46 Sahayaks – The community volunteers from Dhamra Port periphery villages.
As part of the project, the Foundation has been organising various capacity building initiatives to enhance not only the technical knowledge of these Sahayaks but also improve their interest and involvement in the project so that they will provide their service consistently.
With the objective to elevate the standard of Foundational Literacy & Numeracy among students and ensure that no child lags in his/her educational journey thereby adhering to the NIPUN Bharat guidelines, the Foundation has organized a capacity-building workshop for these 46 Utthan Sahayaks who has been relentlessly working with the project since 2020.
Held at Suk Chand Manna Upper Primary School, Koithkhola on Wednesday, the workshop was facilitated by Anup Kumar Das, ex-CRCC of the Karanjamal cluster; Tapan Sahoo, State Resource Person; and Debasish Muduli, District Resource Person, Department of School & Mass Education, Government of Odisha. The Sahayaks were oriented and exposed with a deeper understanding on the mission and guidelines of Foundational Literacy & Numeracy, National Education Policy (NEP) and the NIPUN Bharat initiative.
To maintain the series of capacity building of these Sahayaks, the Foundation is planning to organise the second batch of the training in October 2023. The proposed training will cover advanced aspects of education, including designing lesson modules, crafting effective lesson plans, conducting stimulating classroom-based activities, and organizing enlightening parental workshops.
