The success of the literacy programmes largely depends on volunteer, the actual doer of literacy work at community level. The volunteer, in order to discharge his duties, has to perform a number of tasks both inside the centre and in community in performing this task he has to interact with a number of persons. In this process he has to face number of problems. The capacity of the volunteers in identification of problems and tackling them will have a say on their performance. Keeping this in view, an attempt was made to study the problems and performance of the volunteers working in literacy in 100-day programme.
