A training campaign for school children was launched by TII Chhattisgarh team and network members on 29th July, 2011 in collaboration with the Chhattisgarh Information Commission & Departments of School Education (mainly in Raipur & Bilaspur districts).
The TII team trained 7443 school children from 30 schools in Raipur and Bilaspur rural and urban areas till October, 2011. The children immediately started pointing out problems that they can raise under RTI and prepared sample applications during the training. Participation certificates were distributed to all the students attending the trainings. TII team announced that they are making a group of young children, called ‘Soochna Doots’, where 665 students registered initially.
The campaign will go on to train students and youth in schools and colleges and engage citizens till December, 2011 and will culminate in a state level youth convention in Raipur on 9th December, 2011 (International Anti-Corruption Day).
