This is an amazing project, and it will be very exciting to see what comes
from the data. Do you know how you will make it available?
One thing that would be really interesting to publicize is what people say
is important to their voting decisions and study if that affects how others

Thejesh, great questions. Here are some answers.
1. Physical because our intent is to get the opinion of aam janta. And less
than 10% of them have Internet connections. The biases in only-online
surveys is unbelievable.
2. Non-OCR for Hindi was an operational decision that some of our surveying
Hi Kishore: Thanks for sharing this information. It will be very
interesting to see the results that emerge from this exercise.
I like the way you stated the problem: impact of having over 2.5 lakh
people discussing these issues with their friends and family will be
significant, we believe, in
Sutirtha, I don't think your question is vague at all: it is one of the
issues we ourselves wrestled with last year. We did attempt this exercise
in Karnataka: to map the issues from our surveys with the issues discussed
(or even raised as questions) by MLAs. Unfortunately, we were unable to
find
At a Bangalore level (3 MPs), We (Citizen Matters) are trying to map the
questions and perhaps the debates as something directly relevant to the
constituents or not.
Will keep you posted on that.
Meanwhile, we got some details of the MPLADs expenditure data for the

Some thoughts -
* The survey of 2.5 lakh would certainly be exhaustive but I personally
feel it could be over-done. Sampling can be somewhat lesser than that to
yield more focussed results (for easier post-survey processing, I suppose).
* But that said, the survey could seek to not to fully

other one (Narasimhan) :)
By 15 Mar, the survey would be complete and the data will all be in, so

Dear Kishore,
Thanks for the clarifications.
Perhaps relatedly, one point I think you could lay emphasis on is to not to
