The aim of this project is to compile a manual in Kannada and to design a "learning for life" package based on the life of the soligas who live within the sanctuary in Karnataka. The draft manual is currently available in English.

Secondly the project will include detailed orientation with the teachers of the Primary, Upper Primary and High School levels, to facilitate the implementation of the Environmental Education programme. The Environmental Education programme is part of the curriculum at the Vivekananda Girijana Kalyan Kendra school for tribal children situated in the Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary (BRT WLS), BR Hills, District Chamarajanagar, Karnataka.

Once completed both the English and Kannada manuals will be available on Asha-Bangalore website. About 125 Kannada copies and 100 English of the manual will be printed.

Asha Bangalore is supporting the entire expenses for this effort.
