Research, Surveys & Studies Capability Statement
The Centre for Advanced Research & Development (CARD) has been established to promote action research and to apply its findings for the protection and development of the society and its environment. CARD’s area of operation is nationwide as for as research and studies are concerned. CARD has in the past operated in the states of Uttranchal, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Jharkhand. But the field implementation (action research) projects of CARD are limited to Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh states. In all with its Head Quarters at Bhopal it has field offices at 15 locations across the Central India.
CARD specializes in conducting impact assessment and perception studies using both conventional and innovative research tools. In case of impact assessment studies for the programmes of Central Government the main objectives are to see the implementation of the programme as per the set guidelines, the overall impact of all the programmes on villages in general and on the population below poverty line in particular, the role of the Panchayati Raj institution in programme implementation and the survival of assets created under different schemes. The conventional survey tools are used for such studies but with innovation and adoption. In case of research studies and perception studies modern tools like Micro Planning and Modified Quantified Participatory Assessment (MQPA) are extensively experimented.
