Considering the paramount need to address the high
rate of dropout in the state of Meghalaya, the CRISP team
carried out an extensive year-long field study in 2023
and submitted a Policy Note supported and validated by
the findings from the field. The proposal meticulously
pinpoints the gaps and problems of dropouts at all levels
