Community engagement

Taking research to the ground

Research that never leaves the conference room changes very little. Our teams work with schools, panchayats and families, testing whether policies reach the people they were written for, and bringing what we learn back into our recommendations.

Health and dignityRajaswalaA report on menstrual hygiene and the disposal of menstrual waste, followed by awareness work and sanitary kit distribution with schools and village panchayats in rural and semi-urban areas.
