We have the experience of strengthening three Regional Health and Family Welfare Training Centers in Madhya Pradesh i.e. Gwalior, Jabalpur and Indore under Danida Project. The infrastructure was strengthened and the faculty was trained in pedagogy. As a result, these centers are vibrant and functioning effectively. Institute of Health Management Research, Bangalore can assist the states in designing a state and district level training institute. We can train the faculty of training institutes in training methods or pedagogy. The emphasis will be on participatory and skill based/ hands on training. Depending on the needs of the deptt. they may carry out the trainings with the support of subject experts. One mobile training team may also be experimented, who may move from institution to institution and identify the training needs of functionaries, impart hands on training and make periodic follow ups. The mobile teams would provide valuable feedback to the health directorate.
