# 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 -

1. [CivicDataLab](https://www.civicdatalab.in/), especially the public finance team which made the research fellowship possible and were a constant guide during the onsite work in Assam.
2. [Finance Department (Government of Assam)](http://finance.assam.gov.in/) for hosting me as a Research Intern under the ASPIRe project.
3. [UNICEF](https://www.unicef.org/india/) 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.
4. [NSS at Tezpur University](https://www.facebook.com/nsstezu/) for their support in conducting the workshop and discussions to involve youth in participatory budgeting
5. [Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology](http://srishti.ac.in/), especially my mentors Naveen L Bagalkot and Paul Anthony George.

Alright, so now that this is out of the way, let's move ahead!
