But i still think that the 'human' factor plays a significant role. For instance I was pleasantly surprised at the speed and efficiency i experienced at the RTO office in Bangalore (Can u believe it!!). I got the IDL the very next day of applying for it. no running around, no delays. Regarding rural statistics, i completely agree with you.. having the right data always helps. What one must realize is that any data can be interpreted as required. Unfortunately, as u mentioned the essence of the data gets lost as aggregation takes place and the uniqueness is lost. If you want to function in a locality, you HAVE to go by local data. It will give you new insights into the system at hand and help you design a solution according to their specific needs.
