  "Information exchange has the capacity to change the odds. The AIDMI publications on disaster preparedness should reach all village heads and Panchayat members in Gujarat." - H. S. Mehta, District Development Officer, Dahod District, Government of Gujarat. ||||| "Learning from disaster response is important. But even more important is the question, who is learning? Otherwise organisations may end up heavily investing in increasing learning across the humanitarian sector workers at the cost of facilitating learning by and with victim communities." - Mihir R. Bhatt ||||| "AIDMI's LR creates awareness among the community at the grassroots level about various disasters, its impacts and steps to be taken to prevent such disasters in future." - Aparna Shah ||||| "AIDMI's disaster awareness and preparedness activities are useful to face any disaster and to reduce negative impact of it." - Kalpesh Prajapati ||||| "We should be financially self-reliant in order to execute activities without excessive dependence on others." - LR team, AIDMI ||||| "Victim populations learn so well, so much, and with such modesty. They do not need incentives or special facilities for learning, they learn from living." - Mehul Pandya ||||| "AIDMI is a learning organisation, and profoundly self-critical. Significant achievements are described only as 'learning points' and magnificent successes become a source of self-doubt." - Tony Vaux, Humanitarian Initiative, UK |||||
