Project Sanjivani - Survey Findings
At the end of the 6 months our project coordinator and field workers conducted survey among the girls of NFE centers through simple questionnaire method to assess their level of understanding after completion of modules on health issues.
The questionnaire was structured with tick-mark options of right, wrong and do not know. The questions were explained to the respondents since they are still learning to read and write. We assume that this would have affected about 10% of the responses due of lack of proper understanding of the questions.
The respondents belonged both the age-groups of 10-14 and 15-19 years. The girls of Rasulganj NFE centre showed highest awareness of all the questions whereas girls of other NFE centers showed mixed responses. This survey has given us an idea of where are we lacking in providing information and to redefine our strategy.
