Students take CSC initiative

Sonepat: Law students of the OP Jindal Global University, Sonepat, have taken the initiative to work on their “Community Score Card” (CSC) which is also known as community voice card. CSC is a participatory, community-based monitoring tool that enables citizens to assess the quality of public services such as health centre, anganwadi and public transportation. The CSC process empowers the public to voice their opinion and demand improved service delivery. Students have trained para-legal volunteers who will be working with them throughout the project. The next step for the project is to organise camps and sessions in the villages with the help of district legal services authority to make the citizens realise the need for CSC, said Yukti Kumar, one of the students.
