Data required for Baseline

While identifying the specific indicators the GP choses to work on, it would be very useful across other themes also in collecting the
baseline data, so as to assess the current status of households in the village. Theme 1 focus is on not just poverty, seen as income, but
the multi-dimensional nature of poverty, that can be seen in the status of housholds in relation to basic necessities and entitlements,
including education and health, housing, water, toilet, amongst others.
