Budget for the Educational Program of RDI

The categories in the budget table as explained as follows.

The programs being innovative ventures, training at all levels forms an integral component of the program. Training as such refers to the training of the trainers, core group training and training in the schools. Scholarships are proposed for five students, picked up for their potential and outstanding performance, yet hampered by a weak economical background. Office costs include those for survey. Survey refers to the on-site study for actual needs assessment. The figures that are obtained from government sources are not too dependable, therefore RDI does this study to find out the real needs along with accurate data.Personal refers to the recruitments for manning all the different programs.

Many of the programs are located far from RDI, deep in the mountains at the village site. Tranport refers to all such costs as motoring, and TA/DA (Travel and Dearness allowance)
