1-3-9-2 DLM Model

1-3-9-2 DLM Model :  1 Facilitator connects minimum 3 Tutors teaching minimum 9 students and finally creates two new Facilitators

To spread general as well as digital literacy amongst underprivileged section of the society, one can follow this 1-3-9-2 DLM model.

EIGHT steps to be followed to implement 1-3-9-2 DLM Model:
  1. Talk to your daily service providers (maids, drivers, care takers, etc) and get confirmation from them for sending their kids for free home tuition
  2. Identify a "1 hour" tuition-time suitable in your busy schedule for offering home tuition. Typically tuition-time can be selcted from time slots of (A) 6:30 am to 8:30 am, (B) 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, (C) 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm or (D) 6:30pm to 8:30pm. For working persons (A & D) are suitable, whereas for non-working the slots are (B & C)
  3. Maintain regularity in teaching. Take tuition professionally, only for one hour, 5 days a week.
  4. Organise/Participate in weekly meetings on Sunday with other DLM tutors and students and share experiences
  5. Organise/Participate in monthly meetings with DLM facilitators, tutors and students. Arrange interactive programmes like toy making (http://www.arvindguptatoys.com/films.html ), film shows, paintings, science talks, etc.
  6. Offer/organise free computer training for DLM tutors and facilitators
  7. Monitor students' performance and update DLM facilitators, tutors and students' database.
  8. Make at least two facilitators enthusiastic to initiate this 1-3-9-2 Model.

    All are fine. But in my opinion the model is not looking sustainable due to various reasons. If the target is to bring this project under the ambit of CSIR, we should plan for some big achievements. For example, we may utilize any existing government schools building/ CSIR Childrens' Computer Centre/ Lab's Club area for organizing a bigger classes, so that a large number of children can be benefited out of this. All the members should have to devote some agreed upon time for the said purpose. Some standard course content (mainly practical oriented other than regular school syllabus) should be prepared by the central committee and if possible can be published under the banner of DLM. The same standard model should be followed at every place of the country to make some visible impact at national level. Even after that the DLM may work upon some employment model of those students, if possible, may be in low paid sundry jobs.

    Can it be possible to set a goal to create a community based learning network of one lakh underprivileged students and 25000 DLM tutors and facilitators in two years? If not, state the goal in terms of numbers.
