To explore strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the student community, we developed a questionnaire survey and assessment formats with guidance from educational experts, counsellors and academicians from various parts of India.

Following are the projects implemented (2021-22)

ASSESMENT

• To identify the strengths and weaknesses of our student community, we have conducted assessments starting from class 8-9-10 and PUC students on a school, college, madrasa and Village level in Puttur taluk. Till date, we have completed 4600 student assessments by a trained team of teachers constantly engaging with students through direct one to one interaction, conducting intelligence, interest, and aptitude tests
• On an individual level, we assessed the following aspects of student intelligence
• Logical-mathematical intelligence
• Time management and lifestyle
• Linguistic intelligence
• Spatial Intelligence
• Musical Intelligence
• Bodily-kinaesthetic Intelligence
• Intrapersonal Intelligence
• Naturalistic intelligence
• To carry out these assessments, we engaged a team of 35 teachers and provided them with training to perform assessment and understand student abilities. The team visits schools daily and is currently working for this outcome in close contact with the puttur block education officer

DATA ENTRY

• Once survey and assessment is completed, the next process is data entry.

More than 40 students are involved in this data entry process for which we have selected students from class 8th and above who are the beneficiaries of the community centre. In total, we have completed 4600 entries till February 2022 and the process is going on.

TRAINING METHOD

We host some of the best IT programmers and data analysts to train our students.

Finding trainers from the region working in international IT and corporate companies, we connect them to our regional development programme, enriching the skills of our students who in turn train their students in the field, creating a sustainable chain of learning

Benefits:

• Students gain knowledge about data systems and analytic skills which are highly in demand at a young age.
• Students develop their observation skills, along with learning to work scientifically for socio-economic empowerment using systems and formats.
• Students engaging in this process are prevented from diversions

CALL CENTER

For the purpose of student guidance, information and intimation, and monitoring, we developed an Edu Call Centre. From our assessment, students with excellent communication skills, patience, and organizational capacities were assigned this role. In addition, there are 20 teachers working in this call center who are well trained and ensure smooth functioning of this process, calling parents from the database and convincing parents to participate and receive Community Centre services like counselling, goal setting programs, subject expert tuition, all free of cost.

Benefits:

• Students in the call centre process understand the ground reality of family conditions and society.
• This creates compassion and motivates them to lead the next generation.
• With continuous practice, they develop global standards of communication

CALL CENTER Objectives:

• Students Guidance and Information about opportunities
• Career Guidance & Counselling
• Monthly Student Monitoring
• College & Hostel Information
• Government & Other Scholarship Information
• Competitive Examination and Government Job Exam Information
• Dropout Student Tracking

Counseling And Goal Setting:

After the first step of assessment, our call centre team reaches out to the parents and discusses the assessment report. The parents are convinced to visit the community centre for education counselling and guidance.

In the last one year, we performed two kinds of counselling sessions. The first takes place at the community centre with the presence of the student and parents. The second happens at school with the permission from the parents. As of February 2022, 3400 students from all sections of society have taken sessions at the community centre and schools including motivation, counselling, career guidance, goal setting, study skills and time management

Parental and Family Counselling:

Parental counselling is a service that aims at providing the required tools, guidance, knowledge and support to parents without them having to worry about being judged, in an unbiased, healthy manner. Through parental counselling, parents become more equipped to take care of their family, especially their children.

Community Centre Scholarship

Once we have assessed students, processed through the call centre, provided career counselling, linked them with mentors, directed towards competitive exams and government scholarships free of cost, many students coming from financially backward families lack the funds to reach their goals. We assist such students in finding financial support. In the last one year, we have been able to dispatch scholarships to 304 students worth Community Centre Scholarship in different villages of Puttur Taluk by the support of donors and philanthropists. We were able to reach scholarships to some beneficiaries outside Puttur Taluk as well to meet emergency requirements.

By networking with premier institutes like St Philomena College, Puttur, Bearys group of Institutions, Shaheen College Bidar, Shaheen Falcon, Bangalore, ACE IAS Academy, and others, we have been able to make concessions for meritorious students, some even free of cost

Community Centre Scholarship Examination

We had conducted model competitive exam from community centre Puttur for 10th and P.U students, and top scorers were awarded with attractive scholarships. Examination pattern was same as the CET and NEET and it created a competitive atmosphere for all the meritorious ones and it also helped them to face more challenges.

Scholarship Term and Condition

AICU Shaheen Bidar Concept

Some students have difficulties in subjects like science, maths, accounts, economics, languages etc. To improve this, advanced learners and aspiring professors are given the task of tutoring slow learners in their subjects. This develops skills, self-confidence, leadership qualities, and benefits them in many ways.

Total beneficiaries – 240

Village & Home tuition centre

Total centres -: 16 Teachers: 16 Total beneficiaries – 216

Being a rural dominated Taluk, we observed that many students in Puttur lacked access to quality higher education, and more importantly, funds to afford higher studies. Recognizing the need for quality education, we have established rural tuition centre where graduate women and scholarship beneficiaries fulfil the role of teachers. Tuition classes usually happen in madrasas, centres, or homes to generate income for unemployed graduates and enrich the lives of rural children.

Monitoring system

Timely monitoring can help us identify errors & prevent us from going off track. To make sure our efforts are in the right place and monitor the progress made by our beneficiaries, we have taken many measures to keep things running smoothly. The beneficiaries who have received scholarships are provided with a unique PCC ID for follow up. Our monitoring system contains 2 parts to maintain consistency and effectiveness.

Monthly Progress Report

PCC developed a unique ledger. This ledger includes complete information’s about the students regarding their personal, family, Jamaat and school details, academic performance, progress, achievements, and remarks. The intention of this ledger is that the students are connected with the community centre and their presence is marked with their monthly signature which is mandatory. When they arrive to sign, a brief 30 minute follow up session is conducted to motivate and interact with them

Skill Development Programme and Media Training

Some students find it difficult to study subjects but are skilled in many tasks. Majority of such students drop out and perform small jobs. We find this threat, identify such students and enroll them in skill-oriented courses with full scholarships and media training like Photography, videography, editing and Graphic design. Many dropout students are now successfully employed in a field of their passion

Personality Devolapment Programe

To encourage self-confidence, language and speaking skills, PCC promotes students themselves to conduct personality development and interaction sessions for students.
