3.1 Centre for Science and Environment (CSE)
CSE was started by a group of journalists and scientifically-informed people who felt that small towns were vital to social development. Their actions rest on two assumptions:
1. Development plans and projects often neglect the health and environment of the people, and this information is not reaching them.
2. One reason this information is not reaching them that small local and regional newspapers(which are read by the majority of people in small towns and villages) do not have access to development news or news of the national environment.
