The Talk
What does it mean to be a teenager in India?
How dignified and safe is her life?
Does she have access to water and sanitation?
Is she able to go to school or college?
Does she yearn to speak English, use computers?
Is she healthy?
The TAG Survey or the Teen Age Girls Survey has been the first ever attempt to listen to the voice of the teenage girl in India and to get answers to questions like the above.
Conducted by Naandi Foundation, an all-women team of close to 1000 trained surveyors visited a representative sample of 74,000 teenage girls in their homes in over 600 districts across all 30 states of India. Armed with digital tablets, they conducted interviews, took height and weight measurements, checked haemoglobin levels and organized all their findings inrecord time to generate the TAG Report.
Rohini Mukherjee who headed the Survey will talk about the key findings of the TAG Survey.
