    About the English translation This English booklet is translated from the original Marathi report 'Ata Sarkari Davakhana Hotoy Janatecha' based on processes and experiences of Community based monitoring and planning in Maharashtra. The Marathi booklet was published in 2011, whose title means “The 'Government' clinic is now becoming a 'People's' clinic”. This qualitative process documentation presents ground realities, experiences and ideas of stakeholders across various districts of Maharashtra involved in the CBMP process. These peoples' voices give an authenticity to the document and make it live and readable. We had received a very positive response to the original book, but due to language constraints it was difficult to take this rich document beyond the Marathi reading public. Hence in order to share these experiences more widely, we decided to translate this Marathi booklet into English for a broader audience. While doing the translation, we deliberately chose to retain the regional flavor of the original while making the content accessible for English readers. We hope this effort will be found useful.
