Invite volunteers at local level

How about inviting volunteers to do a field survey at some sample locations in India.
The survey could include visit to local schools and meet faculty and find out the number of drop-outs every year, the reason behind dropping-out. We could understand the pattern and also single out the major factors.
The schools included need to be just government schools because I feel that students to private schools would not be requiring outside intervention, counselling or help to a big extent.
