'Publish or perish' is a new dictum. CSR recognizes that publication
is an effective medium of awareness creation and sharing of
experience and expertise. It is a medium for consolidated
documentation of all the activities and to transfer the techniques
to other NGOs and the public. The following are some of the
important publications
Experience in School
enrolment:
The Project, 'Campaign for Enrollment and Elimination
of School Dropouts in Tuticorin District' was implemented
during the year 2001-2003. The various activities carried
out, the different strategies adopted, the useful impacts
created, and the hard experiences gained are well documented
in this publication.
Child Labour System:
The Child Labour Eradication Awareness programme
was implemented by CSR from 1996 in 12 villages of Thovalai
Taluk of Kanyakumari District with the active participation
of CBOs. The book described the experiences of CSR in eradicating
Child Labour in the villages. The objectives of the programme,
problems and issues, the strategies adopted, the impacts of
interaction and the lessons learnt were vividly documented.
The implementation of the project had led to evolve a model
of intervention with maximum participation of the people.
The model is sustainable, cost effective and replicable. A
report of the assessment study of this model in three districts
of south Tamil Nadu with the technical support of 'Pro-Vision'
is given in the publication.
Spare a Word, Show
you care:
CSR, through its various programmes, participates in the
fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS and provides community
based care and support for the affected. This publication
portrays the efforts of CSR to document its experiences in
this field for wider sharing. This will serve as a resource
book for the NGOs and CBOs interested to implement community
based Care and Support programme.
