What does public policy look like in action? Tara Bansal (PPS '17) spent the summer working in Bangalore, India. She went into slums and interviewed people in Hindi and Kannada with the help of translators. Her Bass Connections team conducted thousands of surveys in their attempt to identify formal and informal community leaders. Her goal was to analyze the relationship between local leadership density and government services. The research will be used to better identify the political network that controls how government goods and services are distributed in the slums of Bangalore. She was selected as the Grand Prize winner for the 2015 #PolicyInAction Photo Contest.For more information on Tara's Bass Connections project with Professor of Public Policy, Anirudh Krishna, and Professor of Political Science, Erik Wibbels, check out this link: https://bassconnections.duke.edu/proj...Music: licensed from Sound of Picture: http://www.soundofpicture.com/
