We provide end to end services from design to execution of the data collection projects. We are involved in developing research methodologies, survey questionnaires, pilot and main data collection, tool translations, coding into CAPI software, data cleaning, data analysis, data visualizations and writing report. Apart from providing them as a combined package, we also offer these services on a standalone basis.

CDCR has a pool of experienced and qualified professionals who have invaluable experience in the field of data collection and development sector research. We have a countrywide network of field professionals and range of sector experts enabling us to operationalize large projects in multiple parts of the country. We also offer manpower and expert consultancy to organizations conducting their own data collection, monitoring, impact assessments and project implementation.

We cater to social enterprises, national and international aid agencies, governments, think-tanks, academicians, students and anyone looking to make an impact in the social sector.

We believe in gaining meaningful experiences rather than maximizing our profits. Therefore we provide customized and cost-friendly solutions to startups, students and organizations with small budgets for data collection.
