It also seeks to evaluate the operational and management issues in the running of KGBVs and hostels, such as the quality of teachers, safety and security of girls, infrastructural provision, financial norms of the scheme, etc. Multistage sampling technique was adopted for conducting the study. The state of Assam in India was selected for conducting the study. The six districts namely Dibrugarh, Sibsagar, Lakhimpur, Nagaon, Kamrup and Barpeta were selected purposively for the study. Observation method was mainly used for the study; it involves the direct observation of phenomenon in their natural settings. Although there was differences in conducting the activities in different districts, but no major differences were observed. It may be because the same guideline and instructions were provided by the Mission Director and State Programme Officer, Sarba Siksha Abhijan, Assam to the entire District at the same time. Generally the differences were observed when the district official, block official or the KGBV functionaries do not act and follow the orders accordingly or show negligence and give less importance to the work. |
