ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Second Chance Program is a flagship program run by Pratham Education Foundation with the objective of educating females of India amid the challenging realities of their lives. The thesis is the result of work done for a duration of 4 months as part of the major project internship. The goal of the internship, which will be detailed in the chapters to follow, was to conduct a complete analysis of the Second Chance Program and its various aspects in order to provide recommendations to develop the future strategy with the goal of increasing the number of women enrolled.
The following chapters will provide a detailed insight into the program leading to the identification of the central problem –lack of time, as the cause of non-enrollment by women. The Design Thinking Methodology to Problem Solving was used to produce and suggest innovative alternate models of implementation to achieve greater enrollments.
In the final chapter, other recommendations have been listed as were suggested to the organization. The greatest outcome of the major project internship is that one of the recommendations, to make classes flexible, has been accepted and work is now underway to conduct a pilot run.
