In the preceding chapter, you gained familiarity with the CRPs-EP. They are service providers who are selected from the community and trained in business management to handhold the entrepreneurs.
How is the pool of community resource persons created?
| Initial Orientation | Prior to the selection process of CRPs-EP, orient all the participants on the project, criteria, selection process, nature of work, remuneration, training details, travel requirements, etc. (Refer Annexure 4.5 for selection process of CRPs-EP) |
| Selection of CRPs-EP | Any person meeting the eligibility criteria mentioned in the master circular can apply for the post of CRP-EP. Selection is based on a diligent process comprising a written test and some teamwork-based activities. |
| Training | Ensure that CRPs-EP are given training on the TED module, TEAM modules, and NRLM SVEP software, and are also given field-based assignments as the first step of their capacity building activity (Refer to Chapter 5 for details) |
| Placement | As a part of the placement process of CRPs-EP in the block, Individual CRPs-EP enter into a partnership with all the CRPs-EP to work as a group. They also sign a MoU with the BEPC to work as a service provider for the BRC-EP. (Refer to Annexure 4.6 for partnership deed among the CRPs-EP) |
| Regular Working | CRPs-EP must conduct a meeting in their group, preferably before the BEPC meeting, to finalize their work and review their work. They must maintain books of records for their group. (Refer to Annexure 4.7 for records to be maintained by CRPs-EP, and Annexure 4.8 for work plan preparation, assessment of work in the group, and suggested agenda for CRP-EP group meeting) |
