10 districts, 300 villages and 6000 households in Haryana have already been surveyed by the ASER team. There are an equal number that are yet to be surveyed. Data from remote locales of the state has started to pour in to the central data collection centre in New Delhi. The resourcefulness of the ASER team was visible when a team of two from the Pratham Haryana team landed up in the New Delhi office early one morning with the first set of data. When quizzed on how they had transported thousands of data collection sheets from Jhajjar (a district in Haryana), 70 kms away, they casually mentioned that they had balanced the reams of paper between them on their motorbike and zipped into the capital.

The incredulous Pratham Delhi team made the duo demonstrate their feat again for the cameras and the pictures are carried below.
