Every day Caritas India moves towards bringing change in the life of down trodden community and influencing and strengthening policy for development! We create and generate impact through our solid community based work ( through our partners) and also through various other forms! Some three years back Caritas India with support from Caritas Spain has come out with concept of blog for development project and developed India’s 1^st development blog for  development project in the form of LIFE ( Project in Rajasthan)  blog: www.liferajasthan.blogspot.com  in 2011 and is been updated on daily basis and has created a new system of transparency in development sector and the fasted way to communicate development happening  to the people throughout the world.

Development project blogs are able to bring out a revolution in terms of ‘transparency’ and cross learning and sharing amongst various stakeholders and now the concept of development project blogs been extended to various development agencies like The World bank, UNDP, CSE, are few who have started their blogs on development programmes.

Caritas India partners in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Mahrashtra, and UP have started their blogs of their development programmes.
