Hi Umesh:

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but it might be worth looking at USAID's report clearinghouse:

http://dec.usaid.gov/

Often, USAID's country missions work with local NGOs, and so there might be some interesting data here. Our project in the Phillippines, for example, subcontracts out with nearly 20  local NGOs.

Good luck--

Sarah

Further, Indian Americans (esp. first generation) have greater insight into the workable approaches in dealing with various stakeholders in India - compared to abovementioned international agencies - thus avoiding costly mistakes. They suffer, however, from lack of research based technical knowhow of development mechanisms - but being based in US can seek support from
