BULLET POINTS / HINTS
 Methodological framework for capacity building.
 Community ownership, empowerment and mobilization.
 Felicitation in social transformation.
 Reliance.
 Sensitization and Awareness programme.
 Safe Space.
It is essential to spice up certain comprehensive indicators that will indicate up to what extend and how far activity is achieving the objectives. For instance, if a plan is setting up for PHC within rural areas, we need to measure whether it has in fact been executed as planned. Besides, monitoring is necessary for regular checking which gives appropriate direction and information for effective management of programs. Again, example, regarding to any issue arise that can deter the on going process of our activity. Finding in an appropriate time can help and develop to a broad range of implementing our objectives.
• Identification of approach, which has to be scientific, based on understanding program.
• Model should be Dynamic and situation: specific (success + dependent.)
• Translation experience: Substantial practice.
• Program, logic, and Model: cause – programming – quality.
• Good Research Aligned with program: relevance + needs+ strategy.
• Training + Design: participation – understanding – governance – quality.

CAST has a broad concepts which are inevitable foundation in tackling any issue.
I . Working in-TEAM:
Working in-group can help to make changes in people’s personal lives and in the wider world. They can improve personal situations- by reducing their sense of isolation, providing them with support and information, or improving their chances of economic security. They can also the broader situation of people marginalized, less visible due various factors such as poverty or HIV/AIDS infected or affected people- and of people vulnerable to HIV and of several ailments like that of opportunistic infections – by stimulating and lobbying for altering in factors which lead to poverty, discrimination and a range of inequity. Many support groups have been set up by “professionals” – physicians, counselors, tribes / religious leaders – endeavor for people noose at no-win situation in spite of their ailing traits. However, many groups established in this manner.
The essence of mankind- physical, mental / psychological and spiritual / soul. Precisely, when physical is concern through constant operation, intervention and exercise or experience the old and outdated achievement or consent can somehow be mended. Liberating oneself from a mire or dire strait situation into mainstream by arresting the exact location where the going get collapse and trapped somewhere down the track. By and large mental or psychological factor loomed large in consideration because it cannot be nailed. Through positive psychotherapy and counseling, focus group discussion, or positive recreational session was worth helpful.

II. Empowerment and sustainability:
The project contributes in building the capacity of staff and teams at the civil society level for implementing a wider range of activities among the different population.
The main aim of the project is to rebuild a moral- ethical society with various health care association. Therefore, capacitating teams at the village level is a must which will cover a broader range of civil involvement and greater coverage of socio-civil issues. For this, CAST has a strong advocacy, community mobilized and participant strategy.

Through in depth study of various chronic problems that perpetually nerve-racking the community, it has been ascertain that one of the positive ways in tackling it, is through provision of primary education. It is indeed injustice to children dropout from schools out of sheer poverty or ignorance and lack of motivation on the part of parents. What a waste of young human resources! Significantly, education has made a lot of difference to the status enjoyed by people. It is one particular field where one has been totally empowered. Everyone is responsible to sacrifice a little bit here for the sake of gains elsewhere. It is one of the main key tools for empowering people economically, socially, psychologically, and emotionally. It could be wearing, but we need to take it on our stride because education and experience can only mold a person how to be a tightrope walker. Education has sought to remove the threat that still block the way of the poor, less visible or less assertive people within the community from joining the mainstream of society. Since 2004’ CAST enacted a new policy or law seeking opportunities in different walks of life.


III. Community/ Civil Involvement:
The community / Civil will be involving through the programmes like FGD , meetings, self Help Group and the functioning, planning-review meetings and the decision making process.
One of the enduring manifestations of social evils is that the expertise and assurance of those victimized community/Civil is critical to effective Action and Transformation. In an environment with such chaotic-driven evils, where those marginalized by such menace are often less visible, less assertive, and neglected population enabling / transforming community engagement means confronting legal challenges. People more easily engage people affected by such putrid situations than any officials who frequently seek to control them rather than to offer assistance.
Despite social stigma, un-institutionalized discrimination, atrocities of law enforcement and lack of economic resources, a growing number of organizations are advocating for the needs of social development. Besides, collaborative fund for HIV/AIDS Treatment, Harm Reduction, or De-addiction preparedness, international and national funding agencies.
So far, for Community Action for Social Transformation Program, financial and technical assistance to help, create, organization run by and for committed volunteers do not happen yet. But as F.B.Os. Community Action for Social Transformation program has been emerged here in Churachandpur town for the past 3 years. Lacking several infrastructure and program for development and transformation (socially, economically, politically) for these people anticipated with a very realistic aims & objectives and with accurate implementation and transparent administration.

IV. Primary Prevention & Health Care:/Re-integrating into family
Primary prevention is the basic need of every issues before it come up in the surface. CAST a society who believe in the Capacity of the people and the resource which is within itself, respond on primary prevention by providing basic information on how prevention is cause effective before the outbreak of issues.
Everything begins from home. Noble and descent life activated from a caring family. It can offer a ready-made support of children who lack ingenuity, skills, and health and are left under-nourished. Considerate parents at home were the best instruments to proffer a nourishing future to their children. It was evident to prove that improving the health, skills and in reducing the risk of that of impaired growth / under-nourished lives of children – mentally, physically and of their spiritual context at their infancy stages. With time, children could conclusively perceive how to avoid, riveting hurried decision unless by verifying secure future or certainty.

Parents should realize that the healthy nurturing and care given during the first years of a child’s life are most crucial, in order to build children most likely to become caring, loving and secure. For instance, just a hugging or kissing at their first few years of life is far better off to passed a positive / constructive directions than thousands of rebukes when after reaching their adolescent stages without digging up accurate manner / behaviour for a lengthy span period of phase in between. Apparently, in favour of this vital issues that deserved a complicated phase in life- individual and social, which in addition build up / increased social disorder and atrocities CAST notice why and how children become family or social burden? How those who do not wield much influence be treated? Adversely, how and where? All these sort of unhealthy lifestyle influenced them? Which however is the main cause of increase in chemical dependency / addicted to abusive drugs and illicit relationship. So, firm and consistent caretakers who are democratic leaders are noticeably essential.
CAST is also working with eligible NGOs and agency working in different health care setting which resources are tapped from them through networking and referral system. The community have the strength to respond by inviting/approaching NGOs and organization working on health issues to mobilize the need of primary prevention in the community with the support of CAST.
