The trainees got an introductory orientation of what CHITS is all about. The ever-promising "Cup Game" was again a crowd favorite. Grouped into 4 teams, each team slowly inched their way into building their own respective cup towers. The value of good data collection was emphasized through the cup game. In the afternoon, the 6 basic steps of CHITS were taught using a demo interface. Each of the participants is guided accordingly by the NThC staff.

Advanced modules of CHITS were introduced and explained into the context of the healthcare worker's work flow in the Rural Health Units. At the end of the training, the online CHITS evaluation tool was accessed and everyone had their own part in scrutinizing the training itself. Good thing that most of the response generated are positive and encouraging.
