The VOs are associated with small projects in their areas to ensure food security and livelihood to families identified through survey and have attended previous phase of the same orientation training by ASK, Gurgaon in Sep’15.

The training has covered issues like development of monitoring system to assess project related changes, field visit, capacity building and strengthening of network including review of the earlier instructions.

He discussed about compulsion of result based work plan, work evaluation & reporting as well as synchronization with other schemes on food security and livelihood promotion from government or non-government sectors. Food security can be achieved by introducing new means of livelihood in rural areas as we are doing already, pointed out Mr. Dinesh Kumar Dev from Akhil Bhartiya Samajik Swasthya Sangh, a partner VO  working with 80 beneficiaries in Gogri and Choutham blocks of Khagaria district (Bihar) under the program.
