After noon, sir told about five W and H, means, what, why, when, who, where and how? We should do The PRA. Before conducting PRA we must follow some rules like, we should go through the reality in the villages, build rapport with villagers and attend in gramsaba to discuss about the problems.
To conduct PRA we should follow these steps like, Multi-disciplinary team should go to the field. Before going to the village we must collect secondary datas from other organizations. Then visit to the village to arrange the gram sabha. On which date, time and venue decided by villagers we must agree for that date. Arrange all the materials. One day before we should inform the villagers. After all this steps we can organize PRA in that particular village. Evening all groups did this activity with performing a skit. It gave us brief idea about preparation for PRA.
