Early in September 2005, the extension workers who formed a Task Force met and came up with the implementation plan which was submitted to LMSRP. The plan, which is attached as Appendix I, was approved after some minor changes. This led the Task Force to start carrying out activities in line with the proposed plan. Progress in the implementation of the plan is outlined as follows:
- Preparatory Meeting
- VDC Sensitization Workshop (Appendix II)
- BVC Sensitization Workshop (Appendix III)
- Sensitization of School and Health Committees (Appendix IV)
- Community Awareness Raising by Band Performances (Appendix V)
