District wise Progress against Chinnara Zilla Darshana under SC/ST Innovation activities during 2009-10

Reasons for not conducting activities approved by PAB for 2009-10: As per the decision made under the Chairmanship of Hon’ble Chief Minister in the Governing Council held on 2nd January 2009, there was a detailed discussion to initiate district level and taluk level educational tour program.  Accordingly, while executing the program under Chinnara Karnataka Darshana into the district level program, the amount from every district was pooled and based on the number of blocks, the redistribution of amount was carried on.  Hence, the large scale expansion of the beneficiaries under this program was achieved in a big way.  A detailed hand out of the information of the District and its rich cultural and historical importance is bought out in the form of a book through series of workshop at state level involving personal from the DIETS.  There  is also a proposal of compiling this unique document and bringing out a state level single document which is to be supplied to all the schools across the state under School Grant as per the recommendations by the districts and various stake holder departments tourism and archeology dept.
