Operational model of Gyner Haat/Knowledge Centre
Different services from the Centre
What does community get from a Gyaner Haat?1. Knowledge services2. e-services3. Sales and other services
How:
1. Advise 2. Input3. Service
Conclusion • An effective operational model combines advice, inputs
and associated services, which can make a significant difference in such knowledge service
• Institutional attachment, interest of local drivers, type of local ownership (public ownership, with management committee, e.g. a school, a local council, CBO, etc.) is very important to sustain such operational model
• Bad experiences with NGOs (use it for their own purposes, not for the interest of the community members)
• Internet connectivity and uninterrupted power supply are important for running such center
• Knowledge service in such Knowledge Centre need to be specially designed considering ICT application and suitability in the ground not too sophisticated! Not ultra modern!
Thank you
