Learning to 'Teach Health" is the English Version of the Health Curriculum



The Hindi version of Learning to Teach Health, this Health Curriculum is
one of the several main curricula for the women who attend the Institute
courses.

Learning to Teach Health has been translated to Marathi by Macmillian
India ltd and is used by the Government of the State Maharashtra as a
health curriculum for it's anganwadi  (mother and childcare) workers.

The Institute’s Cutting and Tailoring curriculum has been developed over
the period of more than  23  years. It has emerged out of a major
challenge that, there are a vast array of books on cutting and tailoring
available for the professional courses or aimed at a level of students who
have studied for many years in a school, but none written for the new
literates.

The Barli Development Institute for Rural Women's Literacy Manual has
been developed over the period of more than 23 years. Literacy is an
integral part of the training programme at the Barli Institute, the priority
target population are about 80% illiterate rural and tribal women.
It is therefore necessary to include a very strong component of literacy
training, firmly integrated with all the other training components of the
Institute
