Literacy & Publication

Literacy is the capacity to understand the ideas and things around us so that we can apply them to our needs. IMAP has consistently worked to improve this literacy for various professions in different ways. Literacy today extends beyond just reading and writing. Audio-visual media is crucial for advancing literacy, particularly when it comes to the subject of livelihood. The members and associates of IMAP have a long & recorded background of publication and audio-visual presentation.

Shaktishastra, authored by Sri Ardhendu Sen, deals with the issues connected with the production and use of commercial energy. With its thirteen chapters are arranged in four convenient parts, which brings the reader a wealth of information on energy sources and gives him an absorbing account of the progress made in the greening of energy and the challenges that remain. Dui Nayak  by Debabrata Mukhopadhyay narrates with documentary & circumstantial evidence the friendship & feud between Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose, two brightest stars of India’s freedom movement, after Gandhiji.

Publication of DIY and Audio-visual

Target recipients of this publication are rural women, daily wagers, and marginal and small farmers. Our observations about rural India show that the presence of fallow land and unemployment exist simultaneously. If we can show them how to generate additional income in fallow areas, a substantial income can be fetched. In all our livelihood generation projects we disseminate these ideas with live examples through DIY handbooks & DVDs.

The merit of these DIY Booklets & DVDs is that the communicative language is the local language. Appreciating our efforts in various projects in different socio-economic conditions, a special project was sanctioned by the Government of West Bengal only to disseminate these ideas. The project was implemented across four districts and the result was rewarding. Primary recipients of this dissemination programme were the poor villagers, the majority of which was tribal women. As the language of instruction was local, they immediately accepted the training and started practising what they learned. Their domestic fallows were also utilized. The landscape began to transform from fallow to green leading to the desired change in life and livelihood.
