BallotBoxIndia treats a district's development like a shared fund, and every socio-political innovator — leader, NGO, business, expert, journalist, activist — like a contributor whose impact we try to measure. The scores here are an experiment to tell apart what an innovator actually moved (नेता का हाथ · their real contribution) from what circumstance carried (हालात · the wave).
