16. Feed back

From students First hand experience for students to understand the rural life and conditions Zeal to learn traditional/value addition rural skills Difficult to contact farm women during day time due to their involvement in home and farm activities Students need prior training in agriculture related technologies Safe accommodation for girl students needed All India Tour, RAWE and Industrial placement all in same Sem and the huge expenditure

Farm women learnt home science, agriculture and allied technologies Students were viewed as role models by the adolescent girls and farm women Rural folk got motivated to send their children for higher education. Exposure trainings were beneficial for SHGs, Youth organizations The programme should be continued through out the year. Farm Families

Development departments Anganawadies of the villages were benefitted by the students activities. School children and teachers appreciated the programmes and projects organised by the students Banks, Panchayats, Co-operative societies, Health dept. and NGOs of the villages were happy for linking with villagers Updating of knowledge & skills

Host institutions (Placement institutions/ industries) Opportunity for hands on training Job creators than seekers Highlighted the success stories of the farm families through media Students possess theoretical knowledge; needs practical orientation Need to increase the duration of placement Meghalaya - problems due geopolitical issues and frequent bandh.

Faculty Students developed dignity of labour and confidence Duration for skill development needs to be increased Co-operation needed by development departments Allotment of vehicle was essential exclusively for RAWE Private sectors and organisations/units and practitioners are not positive towards accommodating student trainees RAWE guide lines should be clear and common for all Home Science colleges No incentives for being a group teacher; teachers should be selected based on course load; TA DA not separately ear marked

17. Important innovations/technologies introduced as part of RAWE Low cost nutritious value added products for health security Low cost play materials for all round development of children Drudgery reducing and income generating technologies Care and construction of clothing Nutrition and child care information provided to the farming community. Dry flower making

18. Impact of RAWE on the Partners

Students Good exposure to village situation Exposure to rural traditions and customs Learn the indigenous traditional practices and remedies, Acquired skills of group dynamics and leadership. Learnt dignity of labour

Farming Families Exposure to new skills and techniques of income generating activities Awareness of Government developmental programmes, social evils, consumerism, Introduced the concept of small family norms and rights of the girl child

Development Departments Provided good opportunity for transfer of technology Helped to interact with home scientists and other experts Got the real concept of education and training facilities available in SAUs

SHGs/Local institutions Leadership qualities and self esteem of the farm women has been improved Objectives of the local institutions were achieved easily and effectively Farmer/farmwomen of SHGs have become empowered Entrepreneurship developed

Suggestions for improvement Provision should be made to meet the expenses of students towards stay, fees of placement institutions and conveyance Basic facilities including health, security and transport are very essential for successful RAWE Uniformity in evaluation All programs incurring huge expenditure not be included in the same semester Need based interventions be planned

Points for discussion Arriving at common RAWE program which would include the duration, credits, grading Attachment to KVKs, RSKs, ARS Common syllabus Improving the financial position of students
