The Annual Workshop is one of the most important events in the yearly calendar of Pratichi. The first of these workshops started in 2002. Almost every year thereafter – unless there was some compelling reason for this workshop not to happen – it has been conducted. This symposium organised in Santiniketan focuses on facilitating meaningful discussions regarding a specific theme relating to at least one of the main thrust areas of the Trust’s work – school education, elementary healthcare, gender equity and people’s democratic rights. This event has become a regular occasion for health workers, doctors, school-teachers, anganwadi staff from all over the state, noted academics, scholars, researchers, media persons, other members of civil society, government functionaries and development activists to congregate and deliberate on important issues pertaining to human development – often providing the appropriate direction for future projects of Pratichi.
