Persisting Problems

• 1. Transportation of foodgrains
• The topographical regions of the State are very
  severe and full of hilly ranges, which break into
  a wide chaos of spurs and ridges.
• Most of the villages are on the hilltops at
  higher elevations.

15

• To reach every village school by the Authorised
  Agency is impracticable.
• The Authorised Agency deliver the foodgrains to
  the respective DISs Go-down.
• The VECs have to collect the foodgrains from the
  DISs Go-down at their own expenses, which is
  taxing them heavily.

• 2. Pre-Primary (i.e. class AB)
• Pre-Primary (classes A B) is attached to
  Primary School through out the State.
• The Scheme needs to cover Pre-Primary section also

Conclusion

• Inspite of all persisting problems, the State of
  Nagaland is already geared up to fully implement
  the Scheme by making use of the contributions of
  the Community, such as, VCs (Village Council),
  VECs, Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), Self-Help
  Groups (SHG), Mothers Association and other
  reliable NGOs who are attempting to bring quality
