We had very interesting observations at this point. Venky said it is a challenge to target students as every 3-4 year they pass out and we have to redo all the efforts. Sandesh suggested medium experienced teachers as the target. Philip wanted to target students so the question arose naturally, who will teach teachers? Mr. Barve told he learned more from his students. I stressed the need to make teachers aware of this. Venky was of the opinion that if we target teachers we reach more people. Philp pointed out the need to educate students the participating culture. this help them expand the community as they grow. Swaroop supported this argument. | ||
