The instrument includes questions on COVID-related awareness, health practices, economic impacts, migration, consumption patterns, and more.
Narmada Ben, an informal worker, carries out important surveys in her neighbourhood slum. She upgraded her skills by attending trainings through the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA), a trade union for poor, self-employed women in the informal sector, and Mahila Housing Trust (MHT) a NGO that improves the housing conditions of poor, informally employed women. She now earns 180 rupees a day by surveying electricity output in her area using tablet technology, and has helped conduct a city development survey.
