Publications
'Publish or perish' is a new dictum. CSR recognizes that publication is an effective medium of awareness creation and sharing of experience and expertise. It is a medium for consolidated documentation of all the activities and to transfer the techniques to other NGOs and the public. The following are some of the important publications.
The Project, 'Campaign for Enrollment and Elimination of School Dropouts in Tuticorin District' was implemented during the year 2001-2003. The various activities carried out, the different strategies adopted, the useful impacts created, and the hard experiences gained are well documented in this publication.
The Child Labour Eradication Awareness programme was implemented by CSR from 1996 in 12 villages of Thovalai Taluk of Kanyakumari District with the active participation of CBOs. The book described the experiences of CSR in eradicating Child Labour in the villages. The objectives of the programme, problems and issues, the strategies adopted, the impacts of interaction and the lessons learnt were vividly documented. The implementation of the project had led to evolve a model of intervention with maximum participation of the people. The model is sustainable, cost effective and replicable. A report of the assessment study of this model in three districts of south Tamil Nadu with the technical support of 'Pro-Vision' is given in the publication.
CSR, through its various programmes, participates in the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS and provides community based care and support for the affected. This publication portrays the efforts of CSR to document its experiences in this field for wider sharing. This will serve as a resource book for the NGOs and CBOs interested to implement community based Care and Support programme.
