In this project, we plan to investigate the role of community monitoring systems in public health system in centres operated by Karuna Trust, a wellknown NGO identified as the lead agency in Karnataka for pilot projects in community health monitoring systems supplementing the computer-based information reporting systems. Over the last few years, the authors have been closely associated with Karuna Trust in implementing computer-based health information systems. The current effort will continue this stream of research and assist in development of proposals for larger grant applications in addition to research publications.
