specific needs. These workshops are
usually held 2 – 4 consecutive days
per month for a period of 6 – 8

| Translation: There are lots of high
quality books and materials available for
English medium teacher training courses.
But the same is lacking for Gujarati
medium students. Keeping this in mind
EITE started translating good English
books and materials into Gujarati
language so that the Gujarati medium
students can be benefited.

releasing the book "Maa Baap ane
Balak". The Gujarati translation of
Haim Ginott's classic work "Between
Parent and Child" was undertaken by
Eklavya so that this classic may be
available to Gujarati trainees and
teachers. To Dr. Dave’s right is Dr.
