At the end of 3 months. There will be a break of 1 month! – 4 weeks
before we start the next 3 month cycle – During this period, new coordinator

(December 23, 2013 - 1:20 pm)Excellent ideas! I think participants too will have to give out a clear commitment of 3 months (not the whole life- just 3 months!). A commitment to their own selves, in truth. Once this commitment and engagement is there, I am sure every one will benefit.
Once a participant completes a 3 month module, as specified, s/he may relax a little bit, be a mentor to others, start a virtual or a new SHG in their own area or office, explore other avenues of self-development etc..
Participants of the 3 month module could try "group journalling"- For this specific purpose, they could start a new collaborative private blog..etc. I think, (I need not say more about that, since I am dealing with IT Pros!)
Also to help the coordinator with photocopy, print outs etc., participants should contribute some small fee.
Congratulations Dinesh and the Team! You guys have come up with a comprehensive plan.. Let us begin the new year with new ideas and practices..
