ABOUT CORD
 
NEWS
Collaborative Research and Dissemination (CORD) is an independent research group that seeks to articulate the problems of the disadvantaged through field-based research. CORD endeavours to influence policy and public opinion by making its research findings accessible to the public. CORD’s research dates back to 1994, when a larger team of researchers from various universities and institutions came together to bring out a public report on the status of basic education in India. The outcome was the publication of PROBE (Public Report on Basic Education, OUP-Delhi, 1996) in English and later in Hindi.
CORD was officially registered as a trust in May 2003. CORD’s primary research interest has been education. Research projects include the status of elementary schooling in northern India, private schooling, the midday meal scheme in Delhi, and education and employment opportunities for adolescents.
