c) The teachers will be paid a fixed salary for a part time job; the remaining time they will provide services to the community from the school facility and will get a share of the income earned from this. The services will be as described earlier. Services Provided Through School: Workshop Fabrication and Repairs – Blood and Urine Medical Tests Electrical Wiring and Repairs - Agricultural Product tests Water Prospecting, electrical method – Soil Analysis Hand pump Repairs – Pest Management Construction Work – Poultry and Dairy Products sale IC Engines and Tyre service – Drinking water Tests and Treatment Plumbing and Sanitation – Sewing and Knitting Initially, some publicity will have to be given, perhaps through video and print material about the kind of services given by schools where such programmes are running. Such video cassettes are already available. This may help in persuading some communities to collect Rs. 40,000 for starting a school in their village, with the clear expectation that they will then get the above-mentioned services in their village at affordable costs. d) Where the school is able to raise resources, the school will be selected, subject, of course, to the constraints on the total number of schools planned and their geographical distribution. Community Polytechnics will be involved in this scheme as a resource group for the village school. The idea of community polytechnics it's role in the scheme is discussed in detail in the next Chapter Rural Development Through Education System 54
