Ongoing Projects:

Topic of Research Under whose auspices

Designing and Strategizing Implementation of Sustainable Livelihood Interventions in Dhemaji and Lakhimpur Districts of Assam [Principal Investigator] (Rs. 4,17,98,100/-)

This project is a collaborative action research envisaging active participation of

NHPC, partner organizations, district administration, and communities. The project

also envisages identifying sector based value chains, climate resilient livelihood

opportunities by creating productive assets to be owned by the communities.

NHPC Ltd

Independent Assessment of Design, Strategies and Impacts of DAY-NRLM [Principal Investigator] (Rs. 1,99,90,326/-)

This involves evaluating the key design features, components, implementation

architecture and systems established and strategies and key processes adopted by the

Mission. The study also evaluates the key processes adopted and emerging results of

the Mission in different component areas viz., social inclusion, institution building,

financial inclusion, livelihoods promotion and entitlements and convergence.

Ministry of Rural Development, GoI

Climate Change Adaptation Approaches for Sustainable Livelihoods [Principal Investigator] (Rs. 67,91,730/-)

This is a collaborative study between IRMA and International Institute for Applied

Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria designed to provide evidence-based strategies for

mainstream adaptation to development planning in Gujarat while ensuring livelihood

security. Based on Agro-ecological modelling, the study will provide Scenarios of

Gujarat Agriculture in the 21st Century mainly on the following dimensions: (i) Yield

and production gaps due to climate change; and (ii) Agricultural sustainability. The

study also seeks to develop knowledge, strategies, approaches, measures, and

processes that will enable vulnerable communities in Gujarat to cope with and adapt

to the impending impacts of climate change.

TIFAC, GoI (under India-IIASA Programme)

Institutionalization of Geo-ICT Enabled Micro-Planning

for Inclusive Development in India [Principal Investigator]

The Study aims at demonstrating bottom-up and participatory micro-planning in a

district. It tries to develop methodology for the Local Development Plan (LDP) and

Integrated District Development Plan (IDDP). This approach could be a model for

other districts.

DST, GoI

Completed Research Projects (Other than that of Research Degree)

Topic of Research Year of Completion

Under whose auspices

Case Research on Climate Change Adaptation for Sustainable Livelihoods [Principal Investigator]

This study supports knowledge requirements of the Indian National

Mission for Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change. The study

aims at providing evidence-based strategies to mainstream

adaptation into development planning while ensuring livelihood

security.The study documented 24 cases on adaptations to climate

change for livelihood security from 11 states involving over 900

community groups from 160 villages in India.
