From the sample, 2 per cent of the WGs in the study area were running Nursery
schools and Secretarial colleges. The Nursery school project was 100 per cent
successful and had adequate enrolment. The sustainability index computed from the
data given was found to be 52 per cent for these MSEs (Table III). The Nursery schools were doing quite well as compared to the Secretarial College. The success of these
project was attributed to: high affinity for education on the part of the parents for their
sons and daughters; less complicated managerial and technical skills that are needed to
run it; less capital needed to start such a project; and support from the local
community. However, payment of fees by parents/guardians was not very
encouraging. This calls for tact and diplomacy on the part of the WGs to deal with
the problem.
