Research and Information Collection-1

At the primary stage of information collection it was first advised to establish my target audience. The strength of each group under target audience had to be pre-established and approached accordingly. The questionnaire was prepared and then people were approached. 

IIM road and Central Mall at Ambavadi was visited on the first day and on the second day I went to Alpha One mall at Vastrapur. In total I got 31 people to fill the questionnaire. After getting it filled I prepared an excel sheet and put in the data I needed and those which had to be analyzed. I found that out of 31 people 24 knew about the place and only 6 had actually gone. Most seemed to know of it through word of mouth.  All the six had visited salt pans. They were excited about the never ending land, the jeep ride of sanctuary, the pure whiteness which surrounded the landscape. The average rating given was 3.3 out of 5.

With all this information I met my guide and we began our discussion. He asked me to draft an essay on whatever information I had processed out of the survey. So that the synopsis would help me for current action planning and future reference. On the basis of the feedback especially on what the people who visited that place liked a visual representation of that place could be derived and for that photographs of those places and themes would be needed. Thus a purpose now had to be brought in for me to visit the salt pans. For this it was decided that I go and speak at the CEE ( Centre for Environment Education) and tell them about my project. Explain them firstly that this project has been on a hypothetical state. The primary objective is to make the unrecognized sector grow, for which promoting their awareness is essential. Moreover if the awareness spreads and academic excursions take place then there is a greater chance of children becoming conscious citizens. They will get a chance to see how a basic commodity of their house is getting produced and at what cost. Considering such issues I would have to approach the CEE with the essay.
