We really pay a lot of attention on how are we
going to take this data to government as well
as to the Panchayat. On that front the basic report
as you see in the website. There are two-page
versions of that, four page versions of that.
Last year we did posters, pamphlets, and letters
to Panchayat. We did all manner of dissemination
material in different states in different strategies.
Now
for example, one of my collogue called Usha Rane,
she heads Pratham works in Chhattisgarh, Madhya
Pradesh, Orissa and Maharashtra. We made sure
that the letters went to every Sarpanch indicating
the basic results and also saying to look into
their own village’s status.
The response that we got was very good, when you
actually take the trouble to explain it to people,
give them the tool, people often react very positively.
