Development of E-Form of Ready to Use Questionnaire on Tablets for Azim Premji University

The research team of GRAAM assisted in data collection and data entry activities for a research team headed by Dr. Seema Purushotham  at  Azim  Premji  University.  GRAAM  follows electronic mode of data collection using tablets (as reported in our annual report 13-14), by coding the questionnaire to tablets using a software called kobotoolbox.com. Responding to  APU’s  proposal,  GRAAM’s  research  team  developed  a ready-to-use  e-form  questionnaire  that  can  be  used  on tablets. It was developed for conducting household surveys for the research on ‘Rural-urban Agrarian Dynamics’ at Azim Premji University.

The GRAAM team plunged into the project by undertaking tasks such as understanding the questionnaire (mostly open- ended) and converted the questionnaire into a pre-coded tab based survey. GRAAM, besides renting out its tablets, trained field workers on using the tablets and conducting the survey. The data captured by the field workers was collected and provided to APU’s research team.
