Ashok Chourasia Trust follows a systematic and participatory approach to ensure effective program implementation and meaningful community impact. The working strategy includes the following steps:
The organization selects operational areas after conducting field visits and thorough problem diagnosis based on:
Observations
Questionnaires
Discussions with local leaders and key community members
Project formulation is carried out by the organization’s experts using the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method to involve the community in decision-making about program activities.
During the implementation phase, the Trust works closely with the community or village committees to direct and facilitate the process.
Monitoring and evaluation are conducted regularly, with methodologies tailored according to the nature of each project to assess progress and impact.
Engage with underprivileged and deprived communities at the micro-level to deeply understand the critical issues affecting them, aiming to address the root causes.
Collaborate with government bodies and various development agencies to identify and develop human potential through skill development and capacity-building programs aimed at fostering self-reliance.
