Seven districts were randomly selected covering all 5 divisions in Jharkhand, i.e. North Chhotanagpur, South Chhotanagpur, Kolhan, Palamu and Santhal Pargana.
2 schools from each of these 7 districts were randomly selected for the study along with Village Education Committee (VEC) members and the villagers.
Feedback was taken on predefined formats from the district nodal CSOs and the concerned officials. For insight beyond the data, focus group discussions were done with school teachers and members of the VECs in the sample districts/villages.
