Arvind summarizing his trip talks about the effect of the interview on CPR
".... I would end by narrating an incident, which happened during this trip and which really moved me. At the request of Mr. Rao Chalsani, NPR Chicago interviewed me. I received several e-mail's from people after this interview. They were amazed to hear about the power of RTI. One Chicago based woman wrote  to me wanting to donate one lakh rupees to Parivartan out  of her salary. I wrote back to her giving my cell no. She called back. She and her husband spoke to me for almost an hour. Both of them were emotionally choked and wanted to make a personal gift of one lakh rupees to me. I told them that I don't need money myself and they could donate it to Parivartan, which finally they agreed to  do. ...."
