Bharat Textiles Ltd wants to measure how its village skill-training project changed the incomes of trainees. It compares incomes of trained women with incomes of similar women in a neighbouring village who were not trained. Which social impact assessment method is Bharat Textiles using?

The company is using a control group, or with-and-without, comparison. It measures project impact by comparing beneficiaries with similar non-beneficiaries, so changes caused by the project can be separated from general trends. Stakeholder mapping or public hearings do not provide this comparison.

Explanation

Comparing a group that received the intervention with a similar group that did not is a control group, or with-and-without, design. It isolates the effect of the project from other changes. Stakeholder mapping only identifies who is affected, and a public hearing collects community views rather than comparing outcomes.
