Capacity Building

Capacity building has been accepted and recognised as one of the most important tools in building up a committed team of functionaries to act as catalyst in bringing attitudinal & behavioural changes in the community. At the same time it’s also admitted that knowledge based training adopting class room approaches does not indeed produce the desired change. In realisation of the above, class room training along with field exposure, field work and community participation have become an in-built mechanism of OVHA training process.
