Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

**Action Research Project with the University of Warwick** 

## **1. Project overview** 

The project is broadly split into 3 phases of work spread over 4 years. Phase one of the project, which is the largest component of the project and commenced at project kick-off, has continued to progress throughout 2024. Phase one is expected to complete in mid 2025. 2024 also saw Phase 2 commence in the autumn. 

## **2. Deliverables in the 12 months** 

a. Project activity 

## 1. Phase 1 study (main fieldwork) 

Following the successful completion in 2023 of the instruments build, execution of the pilot study and revision of the fieldwork instruments after the pilot study, the main thrust of fieldwork activity commenced in late spring 2024. The project witnessed a delay to this work starting due to the impact of the Indian elections across the country which impacted upon the project’s State Research Teams’ (6 states/3 team members per state) ability to start fieldwork. Some delay was also incurred in finalising the recruitment of the state universities and government colleges, agreements and transfer of funds from the partner institution in India. As a result, this pushed the start of fieldwork activity from late 2023 into early 2024 which was then further impacted by the election period (circa 4 month delay overall). 

The research instrument pack was shared with the State Research Teams in April 2024 which comprised of 35 separate documents covering proformas, instruction manuals, survey tools, code books, code sheets, information leaflets, interview guides and data collection spreadsheets. These instruments would be deployed as per the main fieldwork manual document and the implementation plans that were requested from the State Research Teams. At the end of 2024, the project saw State Research Teams progressing at different rates through their programmes of data collection which comprised of interviews, interview-diary studies, census surveys, transcript translation, focus group discussions and administration data requisitions across their targeted staff/student groups at state universities and government colleges, using the instrument pack mentioned earlier. One team has been particularly affected by the retirement of the team lead and consequent institutional block on proceeding, and it may be that this team will cease participation. 

Significant time by project staff was expended during the fieldwork period to further refine certain elements in the instrument pack as feedback from early engagers highlighted improvements that could be made to ensure that the instruments would be contextually appropriate for all states. Monthly online meetings which started in spring 2024 were held with the project State Team members. It was through these meetings that valuable feedback was highlighted and problems troubleshooted. Often identified by the early engager state teams, this information helped the project team to offer advice, reshape guidance and update instrument documentation to benefit other State teams. 

It was also during summer to autumn 2024 period that project staff finalised a further package of tools to support the State Research Teams

## 3. **Summary of project progress from the Principal CoInvestigators** 

The project has proceeded very well during this phase, in spite of the delays caused by the elections in India and institutional hold-ups between the state teams and partner institution in India. The fieldwork is ambitious in scope but the teams are highly engaged, for the most part, and have responded enthusiastically to the project. Additional unforeseen benefits have emerged such as the fact that implementing the fieldwork has itself proved impactful for the respondents and state teams, who have learned about the possibilities of higher education outreach _through_ participating in the study. The delays will mean undertaking the latter stages of the project concurrently, which will place pressure on the core team and require efficient working in the next stage.

the recruitment of the state universities and government colleges,
agreements and Iransfer of funds from the partner institution in India. As
a result, this pushed the start of fieldwoik activity from late 2023 into eaily
2024 which was Ihen further impacted by Ihe election period (circa 4
month delay overall).
The research instrument pack was shared with the State Research
Teams in April 2024 which comprised of 35 separate documenls coverlng
proformas, instruction manuals, survey tools, code books, code sheets,
information leaflets, interview guides and data collection spreadsheets.
These instruments would be deployed as per the main fieldwork manual
document and the implementation plans that were requested from the
State Research Teams.
At the end of 2024, the project saw State Research Teams progresslng
at different rates through their programmes of data collection which
comprised of interviews, interview-diary studies, census surveys.
transcript translation, focus group discussions and administration data
requisitions across their targeted stafflstudent groups at state universities
and government colleges, using the instrument pack mentioned earlier.
One team has been particularly affected by the retirement of the team
lead and consequent institutional block on proceeding, and it may be that
this team will cease participation.
Significant time by project staff was expended during the fieldwork period
to further refine certain elements in the instrument pack as feedback from
early engagers highlighted improvements that could be made to ensure
that the instruments would be contextually appropFiate for all states.
Monlhly online meetings which started in spring 2024 were held with the
project State Team members. It was through these meetings that
valuable feedback was highlighted and problems troubleshooted. Often
identified by the early engager stale teams. this information helped the
project team to offer advice, reshape guidance and update instrument
documentation lo benefit other State teams.
It was also during summer to autumn 2024 period that project staff

3. Summary of project progress from the Prlnclpal Co-
Investlgators
The project has proceeded very well during this phase, in spite of the
delays caused by the elections in India and institutional hold-ups between
the state teams and partner institution in India. The fieldwork is ambitious
in scope but the teams are highly engaged. for the most part, and have
responded enthusiastically to the project. Additional unforeseen benefits
have emerged such as the fact that implementing the fieldwork has itself
proved impactful for the respondents and state teams, who have learned
about the possibilities of higher education outreach Ihrough participating
in the study. The delays will mean undertaking the latter stages of the
project concurrently. which will place pressure on the core team and
require efficient working in the next stage.
