Institute of Water Policy research seminar. "Putting Women in Charge: Examining Gender Differences in Quality of Water Services Delivery", a paper  by Namrata Chindarkar and Yvonne Jie Chen, Assistant Professors at the School. They surveyed  borewell maintenance services in villages in Gujarat and found that quality of service was better in those that were serviced by women borewell mechanics. And this had the double benefit of freeing up more time of women in these villages so that they could engage in more income generating activities.
