RESEARCH
I am currently working on the social sector project with Institute for Social Action and Research. I am documenting the UNICEF-supported project on Gender Responsive Adolescent Education, Life skill and Empowerment Program at Rapar, Kutchh. It is an interesting work that aimed to towards brining gender equality through life skill training to both adolescent girls and boys, and working closely with various stake holders of the society.
Gandhian philosophy and its relevance in 21st century with respect to fiscal decentralisation: I am writing a book on this theme as a part of the larger project undertaken by Gujarat Vidhyapith.
I am a part of an international project called “Dry Fish Matter”, project is aimed at mapping the “Social Economy of Dried Fish in South and Southeast Asia for Enhanced Wellbeing and Nutrition”. The project is to conduct research on dried fish value chains in six countries in South and Southeast Asia, and four regions in India. The project’s goal is to examine how value is created in the dried fish economy at all stages of activity from production through processing, exchange, and consumption, viewing value chains as a framework for understanding human economic activity in the context of social, ecological, cultural, historical, political, and other forces. I am associated as a co-applicant of the project sponsored by The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Project Director, Dr. Derek Johson, University of Manitoba, Canada.
