5.1 Community involvement will be central to the implementation of any of the strategies under EGS & AIE. The involvement of the community could be operationalised through parent’s groups (called school committees, Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs), Mother Teacher Associations (MTAs), etc.) Village Education Committees (VECs) and Panchayats. It is expected that EGS schools or AIE centres would be managed by community based groups personally constituted of parents of the children enrolled at the school/centre. 2

5.2.1  The decision / implementation of the following aspects of EGS & AIE would be undertaken by the VECs / Panchayats :

1. Conduct of microplanning / house to house survey exercise.

2.  Planning and locating EGS / AIE centres based on results of microplanning exercise.

3. Selection of teacher

4.  Providing space, lighting, drinking water etc. for the learning centr

5. Deciding the timing of the centr

6.  Overseeing the day-to-day running of the centres / camp,
