Acknowledgement
Before we explore this guide together I would like to acknowledge that this project would not have been possible without the unwavering support of -
​CivicDataLab, especially the public finance team which made the research fellowship possible and were a constant guide during the onsite work in Assam.
​Finance Department (Government of Assam) for hosting me as a Research Intern under the ASPIRe project.
​UNICEF Assam, especially Ananya Goswami and Purvi Malhotra for facilitating many of the activities (online and offline) and discussions which helped in the synthesis and design of the blueprints.
​NSS at Tezpur University for their support in conducting the workshop and discussions to involve youth in participatory budgeting
​Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, especially my mentors Naveen L Bagalkot and Paul Anthony George.
Alright, so now that this is out of the way, let's move ahead!
