CHAPATI DIAGRAM
A participatory method that uses small circles of paper to identify community institutions (both
traditional and external) and the nature of their relationships with each other. It is sometimes called
"chapati diagramming" because the circles of paper look like chapatis (round, flat bread).
PURPOSE
To identify and establish relationships between a community and its environment (both internal and
external). These relationships are presented in such a way as to highlight the relative importance of
particular relationships.
STEPS
Ask the participants to list the various institutions, which are assigned in different sizes of the circles.
Size of the circle is proportionate to perceived importance- i.e., big circle more important.
Distance from the centre is proportionate to access, i.e., less distance means easier access.
Village:- Pindrabad
Farmer-: Shambhunath mahto
CONCLUSION
The PRA survey at Pindrabad helped to view the importance of various organisations/individuals fora
phenomenon indicated in terms of size of circles and distance from the circle.
Looking upon the conclusion from the above survey we concluded that the village is deprived of
basic facilities such as hospital, schools and bank etc., Even for the basic requirements Galudih (10
km) is the nearedt market. Agricultire is the common livelihood activity with few aquaculture
activities. KVK, NABARD and TATAcompany are the helping hands for fish farmers.
