The application procedure for a CR is to complicated. Even for NGOs wih 3 year track record it is too difficult to get through the hurdles.

India is supposed to be a democracy - For the people, by the people and of the people. I don't think it is being run for anyone of us. I definitely don't think it is my government or I have any control on what it does. And guys who run the government are the farthest thing possible from people they are supposed to represent. So what do we do? We start participating in the system. And we create systems for making it happen! I hope that Gramvani becomes vani of people from grassroots. I truly believe it is a great concept.

The “points of dissatisfaction” you have noted capture many of the procedural bottlenecks that beset social innovation in India. Although some Agricultural Universities have set up CR stations, I remain skeptical about the participation of local communities in content production process in such ventures.
