The article forms part of EPW's Review of Science Studies special issue and was peer reviewed by two Indian referees who were both present at the  Prajateerpu, but formed no part of its planning or implementation.

The EPW editorial board approved the article, which contains a description of the methodology and results of Prajateerpu, for publication. They have offered DFID, and others who wish to criticise Prajateerpu, equivalent space also.
