Educational Summary
I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work (Community Development) from Rajagiri College of Social Sciences (Autonomous), Kerala, a prestigious Tier 1 institution, where I graduated with 70%. My academic journey equipped me with extensive knowledge and practical skills essential for social impact initiatives.
During my Master’s program, I gained expertise in Proposal Writing, Logical Framework Analysis (LFA), and the use of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools — crucial skills that I have applied effectively in professional settings. The curriculum emphasized key areas such as:
• Social Policy & Legislation – Understanding frameworks to support marginalized groups.
• Community Organization & Development – Practical strategies for sustainable development.
• Research Methodology & Statistics – Equipping me with the ability to design, conduct, and analyze data for social research.
• Program Planning & Evaluation – Enhancing my skills in developing strategic interventions using tools like Gantt Charts and LFA for effective project execution.
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – Focusing on building sustainable partnerships between businesses and communities.
As part of my academic journey, I undertook impactful internships in the livelihood sector, with a particular focus on women’s empowerment and education. These experiences strengthened my understanding of grassroots development, capacity building, and sustainable interventions.
I also conducted independent research titled "Men’s Self-Help Groups: Socioeconomic & Psychological Impact", which explored the role of SHGs in improving financial stability, social skills, and mental well-being. This research was subsequently published, reinforcing my skills in data collection, analysis, and reporting.
In addition to my Master’s degree, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Rural Development from Visva Bharati University, West Bengal, where I gained foundational insights into rural economies, social structures, and development practices.
With my strong academic background, combined with practical exposure and expertise in proposal writing, LFA development, and PRA tools, I am well-prepared to design and implement impactful projects that align with organizational goals.
