The 5 Master trainers from Mizoram will have one of their own favorite district to handle. The remaining 3 districts will be jointly monitored by all 5 MT's and assisted by Mr. LG and Mohit Anand (Research Associate from Aser Centre).
The expected date line in full completion of the survey for Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram is 15th October 2009.

Wishing you the best Aser ever.

WHY MIZORAM AGAIN?

Mizoram's performance in the past Aser had very few reason to be applauded. Question arose if Mizoram should be included in Aser 2009 again? Questions were floating and answers pending until the student's from the Mizoram university stood for their citizen's rights in true willingness to participate in Aser 2009. likewise, 5 people who had recently completed their Master's degree had volunteered themselves to be the Master Trainers for the state. Their enthusiasm could be calculated on their act of convincing the church youth to participate in making Aser 2009 success.
On my 5 days visit to Aizawl, i could hear honesty speaking that if the church youth gets involved...Sincerity and honesty will always follow (as commented by Tetea, Zaultea and Remallian). Today, those 5 people are trained as Master trainers. Their task is not only to train the volunteers and complete the survey but also to shoulder greater responsibility and accountability in all their endeavor.
Today, all i can do is to cross my finger and wait for the result. Will this year performance do away all its past inabilities? People! they really need your support and guidance. if i m left to vocal out their mind then i should say on behalf.." We should not fail again"
