SRC Assam produced five bilingual books, which were widely received. This, in turn, has given others an impetus for further publication in the language. 178
Bilingual materials were produced (Assamese and Rabha texts on the same page) for awareness generation and demand creation. These are supplementary reading materials that can be used by neo-literates. The following materials were produced. Pidaan Gange is a story book written in the Rabha language by Sri Prakash Rabha. It is a story based on environmental protection. Ang Gena Tikkar (Am I a Witch): A collection of two stories written in the Rabha language by two writers, Mrs. Malaya Rabha and Mrs. Hima Rabha. The first story is based on the existence of superstitions in the society, and other is about the impact of literacy on girls. Rangsiri Sampai, is a Rabha folk tale written in Rabha by Shri Prakash Rabha. This folk tale deals with the greatness of a Rabha woman. Minku Amangni Katha (“A Tale of Cat”): A collection of two stories in Rabha. The stories were written by Bhupandra Khanda and Tarak Barchung. The first story is based on a myth about cats. The second is the story of a monkey and an owl. Monimala: Written by Charumohan Rabha, the story is about the role of women in societal development. Another important effect is that other ethnic minority communities have approached SRC Assam to facilitate them in the preservation of their languages and culture. The Deori Literacy Society, Tiwa Literacy Society, the Sadris (Tea Garden community) and others have shown a keen interest in developing their languages. Some ethnic communities from other states have also asked for help. SRC Assam was compelled to take up the case of the Adi-Galo community of Arunachal Pradesh. An alphabet book was published in Adi-Galo with academic support in developing the orthography from SIL International. Three basic primers for adult literacy, along with a teacher handbook in Rabha, were also developed and printed by SRC Assam. These primers are being used in Goalpara for literacy programmes. To make the programme sustainable, the Rabha language project is integrated with the existing literacy programmes conducted by the District Literacy Committee, Goalpara (ZSS) which is working under the NLMA, Government of India. The District Literacy Society has a three-tier system to oversee the literacy campaign up to the village level. Monthly meetings are held where the field information is collected for monitoring. SRC Assam supplements this process and evaluates it at the same time. This integration with the existing literacy programme will ensure the continuation of literacy in Rabha even after the completion of the project term. Formation of SHG’s: The revamped Goalpara District Literacy Committee (ZSS), under the chairmanship of the present Deputy Commissioner has stressed the empowerment of women. ZSS, Goalpara has selected women as Secretaries of the Society at the ground level (lowest tier) for their literacy drive. As a part of the programme, Self Help Groups (SHGs) for women have been formed, thereby involving the community as a whole, and women, in particular. This formation of SHGs has a two-fold agenda: • Economic empowerment 179
