This were all done as per the advise from the TRF Project coordinator MS Jennifer . Few well wishers of RCO came forward to help and improve the Training School to make it to a wheel Chair friendly building and compound and to use it as a Day Care Center for the Differently abled beneficiaries of this project.

Per description of the project, it is a 2 year project and is now carried over to 2018-19. Current status is TRF funds received and Host Rotary busy organizing for training and discussing with vendors to make purchases of the Handicap supplies. It is not clear why the district website is sending notice about dropping by 9/1/18 even though two prior History Logs has provided the needed status.

Mission and Objectives of this Project is fully attained as the Beneficiaries reduced their dependency on others and started leading a normal life by getting the training in their chosen field of work and thereby enabling them to be occupied with gainful self employment which helped them to reduce dependence on their family members besides managing time productively instead of idling away as they cannot move around with out external help. This projects eligibility was at stake and MS Jennifer Bergs 13 questions really gave us an idea and taught us to carefully project the case and her help in this project was a turning point.Forming a stewardship and a social audit committee gave us lot of confidence on its sustainability and here we are with a completed Project.ThankstoJennifer

We were under budgeted in making the training center wheel chair friendly but we managed the excess funds required by receiving donations from well wishers .The total amount of well wishers contribution was INR 255,660/-
Our project had an unexpected variance in the allotted budget for making the training center wheel chair friendly which we managed.
