Research, innovation and knowledge management :

We take studies and research activities which we feel essential to understand and explain the ground truths underlying our areas of work. These research activities help us to develop our understanding and knowledge base on particular issues affecting our focus group and communities. We take support of our Advisory Committee before carrying out any such study/ research work. As our standard procedure we organize Consultation on the theme involving our resource team and other invitees.

For policy research, we often spread to national or regional spheres as per the need and advice of our Advisory committee. We then consolidate the findings and develop reports/ handbooks/manuals which help us to work effectively.

As a part of ‘knowledge management’ we secure these at our library for future reference.

We encourage new studies by students through internship. Organizationally, we support research scholars to conduct study/ research work even sometime for carrying out their own Post Graduate research work/studies.

Some of the research/ study activities carried out by our team members are
