I've heard of CIDA doing a lot of interesting work here alright.

India faces so many challenges. I have worked with the Save the Children Fund as well as the Canadian International Development Agency and have known many people who have travelled to this beautiful and diverse country. It is true that it is very difficult to change cultural traditions and promote and pay for fundamental improvements. It is encouraging to read of the cooperation and concerted efforts of the Indian government to improve their peoples living standards and environment.
