...after that we went to the United India Insurance Company office to meet the regional director, who gave us a bunch of data on the beneficiaries of the "universal" health insurance scheme for low income families that we're working on with CASP. They couldn't give us an electronic copy of their records, for security purposes. They could only give a printout of their electronic records. They let us use one of their computers to enter the data into a spreadsheet so we could have an electronic version.
While we were there we met the owner of Veega Land itself. That's a themepark in this area. He set up a fund to pay the premiums for this health scheme for everyone below the poverty line in his home town. After we finished entering all the data we took some pictures, and then he and the director took us out to lunch. So I pretty much had lunch with the Indian Walt Disney.
Once we got back to the CASP office, we told them about how friutful our meeting had been, and in the course of the conversation they said we could use the official CASP logo on all of our future documents. I consider that a promotion!
