Previously I have made a post on what the Digital Literacy program.I thought of Deploying it in real.So I asked a few of my friends and seniors who stood motivated with the thought of spreading Literacy all around and have been a source of constant support during hosting of various Programmes at my college premises.They Promised me with their Whole-Hearted support throughout the Programme.
So I thought of visiting schools and collecting datum about the school's Knowledge about the Digital World[Knowledge about Computers].The Day before i contacted a few Friends of mine.I thought of taking help from a girl since people at government sectors don't give a hell about any issues or speak responsible to a volunteer[In some Cases they may sound harsh too]. So the general psychology is people wont be so harsh with the girls and they tend to give Responsible answers the polite way.So i took the help from one of my Best Friend.Ms.Sukirtha Sree who is inspired a lot about this programme.I Prepared an Agenda which clearly portrayed the goals,the Syllabi that we are gonna cover.Since this was necessary in order to go about the programme.
First we Visited Corporation School near P.N.Pudhur and got a reply from the Head Master who emphasized the proper channelization of the request.Here let me give you what we learned at the first point of time.
This Might help you in any of the future Ventures or any volunteering work you do about in any of the Government Schools.
"Let us See about the Classification of Schools Basically there are two types of schools in Public Sector...
# Corporation Schools -Run by the individual Corporations
# Government Schools-Run by TamilNadu Government.
There are other type of Schools like Matriculation Schools,Anglo-Indian Schools,CBSE Schools and the Panchayat Union Schools and The Municipality Schools and still more indepth classifications persists.Let me not go into that deeper.
So we wanted to concentrated on the Corporation and Government Schools which we first targeted in order for our Fresher Experience.
So they told us we need to Obtain permission from The Commissioner,Coimbatore Corporation.
For Government Schools,we need to get Permission from The Chief Educational Officer,Coimbatore.
This will be a tough job for us.Though I have references that might help me in obtaining permission.It would take a lot of time in figuring a proper way and getting persmission.
We don't want to waste the day so we went to The Second School after our Lunch.This time it was Corporation Girls Higher Secondary School,Ramanathapuram.We realized that there is Visitor's time Space for us to visit after school hours.Though Insisted by watchman we went in to meet the Head Master...Which turned out to be the Head Mistress.She had a Smiling apporach and received us well .She heard us Patiently.Later she also emphasized on the permission and we told we would do that and gave our contact details and left the school heavy hearted.She told "Looks like a tough job for us" and we thought of going for the next school instead of bragging about the previous school Venture.
The third school we visited was Govt.Girls Higher Secondary School,Ondipudur.This time we had to wait for more than half an hour.We learned that the H.M. is retired and A.H.M. is in position now.
After a long wait we got an opportunity to see the A.H.M and this time we explained it more clearly and she was so sweet and din't speak of anything else .She said that the children here are not updated or had a practical exposure to computers.Event he Staffs were not that much equipped.
So she requested for an immediate Program Deployment,The next day Itself.
I Agreed Instantaneously !!! since we are running out of time as our college was about to be re-opened shortly.
Thank God We got one school to our hardships faced...
I need to plan for the program immediately...
Started on the Preparation.
