In service training has been intensified and CBRWs are made to do more reporting.

An Individual reporting programme has been developed.

One of the high lights is that the councillor has recommended our programme at Kaddirappa slum for a Rotary award and has requested us to work in another slum in her ward which we are ding the spade work.

Hence a new slum Byapannahali will be included into the programme.
