Infrastructure and Equipment

Every STDC needs to have adequate infrastructure and equipment to conduct its necessary activities. These include broadly three categories; office rooms, training/ meeting rooms and residential/ hostel facilities.

Office Rooms

The STDC office rooms include the chamber of the STDC Director, and appropriate space for the Training and SM&E Section. It is desirable this appropriate office space may be provided along with the STC or along side the training/ meeting rooms.

Training/ meeting rooms :

• Auditorium with a seating capacity of approximately 50 or more
• Two rooms with seating capacity of 20 each. These may be setup in a manner such that it may be joined together to form a larger room.

Residential/ hostel facilities:

Based on the load of training, ie. number of concurrent trainees that are likely to be trained at the STDC, residential facilities for the identified candidates need to be provided. These may be used for housing trainees during in-person sessions, or for housing program managers during review meetings. There should be facilities available for accommodation of minimum 25 participants.

Equipment

The STDCs/RTMC should be provided with the necessary equipment to effectively deliver trainings and SM&E.

1. Digital Teaching board: For delivery of training both through classroom and virtual sessions 
2. Mobile devices/ Computer room: To deliver practical demo of the use of Nikshay etc.

These training, residential and equipment, facilities may be dedicated for the STDCs but may also be shared with or borrowed from any regional institute (SIHFW) or medical colleges as appropriate.
