To upgrade skill of the silk workers and introduce improved technologies, the SDP had a strong training component. The SDP training program introduced for the first time (a) substantive training for the cocoon producers and (b) refresher courses for the field staff. BSFs Field training programme was designed in a different manner of learning by doing approaches. A very pragmatic training curriculum and systematic training module largely helped both trainers and the trainees to understand the lessons taught. Trainers are given TOT and orientation training about the technological and methodological approaches. This component has been implemented in participation with the major NGO stakeholders namely BRAC, Caritas, Proshika, RDRS, TMSS and IIRD through special contracts in 26 training centres. Till March 2003, it has been possible to conduct total 251 batches training Comprising altogether 5,654 beneficiaries.
