Vidushi Marda and I co-authored an India report this year for GISWatch.
we studied the #pune Smart Sanitation project's impact on the society it is being placed in, given #caste and #gendered systems of labour undergirding sanitation work in India.
we would love to hear feedback or to chat more on our findings!

@malavika Read the entire report
Had this question asked here on whether the stigma will end even if it was a Dalit women who is responsible for operating the technology. ( had suggested better technology and pay to end the stigma).
@ashwin_baindur The issue is that a 50 percent increase means it's still 15000.
Let's offer 50,000. Give names like inspector and you will see everyone clamouring for the job.
This news report now defies conventional wisdom!
