Research on the area of operation: Before entering into any territory, it's very important to understand it socio-economic environment, its population mix and other topographic features. Accordingly we identify our focus areas depending on our requirement. before going to any area we will identify the per capita income of the area (which helps in identifying low income area), The population mix (for SC, ST and general division), Employment opportunities in the area (to identify the scope of migration) etc.

Selection of the team: Human resource is the most determining factor in implementation of any process/plan. Right identification of the mobilization team is prerequisite for its success. Post identification of the area we always try to hire a local person as mobiliser there, so that he/she can connect with people on local level can speak their language and understand their concerns. Local person not only understands the geography of the area but also knows the thought process of people, which helps him in the correct mobilization.

Detailed steps- mobilization Live footages of the training centre: During mobilization our mobilisers show the live footage of centre and training activity in the field to all the parents so that they can see and assess the facilities we are providing. This activity also creates a lot of reliability among the parents and enthusiasm among the candidates as they can directly connect with the people now.

Video Conferencing with trained and placed candidates: During mobilization we also connect the parents and possible candidates with our already trained and placed candidates, these candidates share their experiences, their personal journey and their achievements. Since we try to connect with the candidates who belongs to the same place this whole activity brings a lot of authenticity and relatability among the parents and candidates.

Parents – Teacher meeting: We have started conducting a regular parent teacher meet to bring the teachers and parents closer, many times we have experienced that due to parents pressure candidates drop out, since parents don't have clarity on the programme and features. To bridge this gap we are conducting regular PTM's so that parents get aware of the programme, understand its importance and how it will change their child's life. We have witnessed that post these PTM's we got many references and these parents become a major source of word of mouth publicity in the locality.

Training programme of JRP'S and CRP's: We have also started training the community representatives such as Job resource person and Community resource person to bring the utmost level awareness of the skill development initiatives in the community so that more people can avail the benefits of the programme.
