The Last Mile Access research was a 9-month empirical, mixed methods study conducted by Aapti Institute in partnership with Omidyar Network India and eGovernments Foundation.

Future research will explore ways in which the ecosystem can support intermediaries in enabling access for vulnerable communities”
