ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We are extremely grateful to Brinda Karat who took deep interest and provided guidance from the very beginning, from conceptualization of the Study to the Final Report. Jayati Ghosh and Subhashini Ali were instrumental in helping us keep the focus and perspective on track. Shakti Kak and Indu Agnihotri were generous with their time whenever called upon to provide inputs. Harimaya and Reeja provided the much needed logistical support.
Officials from the Ministry of Rural Development in Delhi were very helpful. State government officials at all levels displayed keen interest in the exercise and the Collectors were usually very prompt in responding to our field reports. We got detailed inputs at our State level consultations from State Government Officials which are reflected in the final report.
Our greatest debt is to our filed investigators and surveyors who painstakingly collected the data in the short time available to them.
