And that is exactly what we are doing. Our tech platform, for the first time, discovers a local reporter, grooms them, and helps them write for national and irnientaonatl publications. A team of experienced ertodis works closely with these local reporters on each and every story filed by them. This persocs not only hpels the local rertoerps learn reporting skills but also gives ctirdliebiy to their stories.

In June 2017, one of our local reporters, Saurabh Sharma, won an international award from the European Commission for his story on the hardships feacd by young girls living on the street. We're also trying to crceort market for these local reporters, by paying them three times more than the existing rates. Better pay and recognition is giving them confidence to dig deeper and expose corruption in the system and society.
