Hi Sankarshan,

Thanks for engaging and the revert.

Re. 1: The assignment specifically required that I specify what I would achieve in the first two months. So tried to specify it where ever possible. But should you have any specific questions or suggestions on this, would be happy to listen.

Re. 2: You are very right that there needs to be a measurement of success. And I think this has been clearly outlined in the A2K Programme Plan. What I have done was break it down to what ought to be achieved in Year 1 and based on that designed some key interventions. So the 5x5 WCLs and the Training programme (listed as Outputs) are more precisely tools to meet the outcomes of the A2K programme. Thus it is equally important to get the right bunch of WCL and also have the right Training imparted to them, which if implemented as planned should achieve the desired results.

Anymore feedback is welcome.

Look forward.

I would request a clarification and, extend a suggestion. The first is
- how did the time-line of 60 days come about ? The rationale behind
this question is - does 60 days provide adequate time to dial-back,
correct and move forward ?

The second is around the need to have some form of measurement of
"success". For each of the areas, it is probably useful to have
transparent and public measure of success. A trivial question - would
the ability to on-board 5x5 WCLs be a success or, the preparation of a
sustainable training program material be a success and so forth.
