COMMUNITY MOBILISATION AND MEDIA

           Community Mobilisation for participation in SSA programme implementation is an important  intervention, since it is an effort to Universalise Elementary Education by community ownership of the School System. It aims to provide useful, relevant and quality basic education to all children in the age group of 6-14 years by improving human capabilities through provision of Community - owned quality education in a mission mode. In order to participate community in the educational planning and implementation at the grass root level, creation of decentralised management system from State to District and District to Sub-District and capacity building as well are the main activities of the programme implementation.

            Media plays a great role in generating public awareness for education in all sections of the society. Successful implementation of any programme requires public participation through awareness and motivation. With these objectives in mind, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, State Mission Authority Manipur has done a multimedia campaign to make the public aware of the necessity for their active participation in the implementation of the SSA programme towards Universalisation of Elementary Education which is the main objective of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan

So far, a number of Trainings/Orientations/Workshops/Meetings have been taken up as a part of building capacity of SSA Key Functionaries of the state and district  as well. Community awareness programmes by organizing sports and literacy competitions at the block level have been taken up as a measure for effective mobilisation of community.
