of India, Nepal and Bangladesh. It is possible, through this course for your

appraisal, practical approaches to problem identification, validation, community

based health and development inputs, methods for integrating health and

their specified learning needs and is drawn up by the participants during the

first 3 days. All participants who attend the 6 weeks CHDTP will be offered

follow-up services through a visit to their areas for on-site facilitation and a

week long workshop at the end of a year - at the cost of INSA-India. Application
