It is true that all most all the development oriented programmes  in the developing world starts with awareness, with the hope of making the target as participants,  to lead or to bring  change in the existing structures or in the systems to  facilitate their development in the spear intended. However majority of them ends up with out crossing the awareness limits.

  I work with the four basic primordial needs in all our
programmes:

1. Education and awareness and access
2. Health
3. Employment
4. Civil liberties

I see these as the four pillars of development and
social justice. So everything begins with awareness,
education/literacy and awareness.
