About Me:
At present I am working as Indian Council Social Science Research (ICSSR) Post Doctoral Fellow Dept. of Anthropology, Vidyasagar University under the supervision of Dr. Abhijit Guha, Associate Professor, Dept. of Anthropology, Vidyasagar University in Purulia, Bankura and Pachim (west) Medinipur districts of West Bengal among the Lodha and Kheria community.
I have done my Ph.D in Anthropology, at Vidyasagar University, Midnapore, West Bengal, India. I have worked for my Ph.D as a recipient of UGC Research Fellowship in Science for Meritorious Students attached with the department of Anthropology, Vidyasagar University under the supervision of Dr. Abhijit Guha.
My Ph.D is based on a problem focused and applied study on the impact of various development inputs(e.g. land distribution, housing, solar energy, rainwater harvesting, domestic animal etc.) given and monitored by the governmental and non-governmental agencies to a small, economically backward and socially marginalised scheduled tribe of West Bengal named Lodha.
The study was conducted in three administrative blocks, viz.Binpur II, Nayagram and Narayangargh within the Paschim (West) Medinipur district of West Bengal, India.
The impact of the developmental inputs in this research has been studied empirically through anthropological fieldwork at three levels.
I have done my M.Sc. in Anthropology from Vidyasagar University with special paper in Biological Anthropology.
I am a Life Member of the Indian Anthropological Society and Indian National Confederation and Academy of Anthropologists.
