The National Team of CCI-India in their meeting at
Trichur, Kerala from the 15th to 17th May 2012 undertook
an extensive review of the reality of CCI in India and the steps taken since
the National Council in November last. They came up with a multi-pronged
approach to build CCI in India and to promote Cardijn.
Some of the salient features of the decisions are:Survey on the living and working conditions of internal migrant workers:
To be undertaken in 6 phases viz. (i) Finalisation of the objective and guidelines; (ii)data collection; (iii)analysis of data collected; (iv)consultation to discuss the outcome of the survey and to plan action with the field workers, experts, sociologists, organisations working on migrant issues and CCI leaders and animators; (v)publication of the survey and the last phase (vi) will be the action part (representation, lobbying and sensitization on the issue).
SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) will be the
technical tool used for formulating guidelines and analysing the data
collected.
2 fulltime workers from CCI will be appointed for 2 to
3 months to conduct the survey in 6 major cities in India (Chennai, Mumbai, New
Delhi, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad).
100 families/individuals will be contacted during the
survey in each of the 6 cities.
Besides the 6 cities, the CCI members will also take up
the survey in their own areas.
