| Summary: | Ground -level health care workers provide us a unique perspective of immunization programs. While our official data may be too rosy to be true, a casual / unscheduled /anonymous conversation with such foot- soldiers may bring us face -to- face with reality through another angle If we want our programs to be robust having a wide coverage, Mantra of success lies not only in making good policy while sitting in ivory -towers but also in folding our sleeves up, sweating under the tropical hot Sun, going to hinterlands and initiating a dialogue with those humble low- level workers who sometimes are invisible to us otherwise, not listened to and with whom sometimes promises are not kept. Promised amount for achieving some target may be small for us but for them that may not necessarily be true. Let's just enter their shoes for a while and try to observe the situation from their point -of- view. In our siloed system of administration when everyone has knowledge of his/ her territory, let us share our wisdom and field -experience. As an expert in one field may not be having much knowledge about another one.
