14. Women being the prime focus and predominant participants, the entire
programme will be given gender treatment. The gender, social and cultural
barriers that women face will be taken into consideration while designing teaching
learning programmes. Gender will not be seen in isolation but in conjunction with
other social categories like caste, ethnicity, religion, disability, etc. Gender
perspective will permeate all components of the programme, including the
approach, strategies, planning, management structures, teaching-learning materials
and monitoring and evaluation. Special priority will be given to women belonging
to SC, ST, Minority and other disadvantaged groups in rural areas.
15. The approach will be to build on women‟s existing knowledge and levels of their
literacy and numeracy in order to ensure that in the long run the existing levels are
substantially upgraded and they are able to use the skills acquired in their own
contexts. Innovative, tried and tested programmes related to women‟s literacy,
including interventions related to thematic or issue-based literacy will be up
scaled.
16. Women will be engaged in large numbers as volunteers and instructors to
encourage women learners to participate in the programme.
