Professional Experience:

With over 8 years of extensive experience in the social development sector, I have developed a strong expertise in managing large-scale projects across Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. My career is defined by my ability to lead diverse teams and bridge the gap between policy and community impact.
?Public Health & Nutrition: My most recent role as a District Coordinator at Evidence Action involved strengthening government health systems. I played a key role in implementing the Anemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) program by ensuring the supply chain of IFA supplements and training health workers to counsel communities effectively.
?Large-Scale Team Management: During the COVID-19 pandemic, I demonstrated exceptional leadership by directing a 56-member team for the UNICEF-supported "Jeevan Rath" initiative. I managed complex logistics and mobilization efforts across 10 districts in MP, ensuring 100% adherence to reporting and safety protocols.
?Capacity Building & Governance: I have a proven track record in training and empowering local governance. I have successfully trained over 10,000 PRI members on various government welfare schemes, enhancing their ability to serve their communities under the Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA).
?Livelihoods & Community Mobilization: My experience with the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) focused on strengthening Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and improving their access to financial services. I am skilled at identifying grassroots needs and designing interventions that promote sustainable livelihoods.
?Data-Driven Monitoring: Throughout my career, I have relied on digital tools and MIS platforms to track project progress. My technical background allows me to analyze data to identify gaps, ensure 100% reporting compliance, and provide actionable insights for senior management.
?In summary, my journey has been about delivering results in challenging environments, whether it is achieving 95% immunization coverage or managing district-wide health surveys. I bring a blend of strategic planning, stakeholder liaison, and a deep commitment to social change.

Education:

My educational background is a blend of management, social work, and technical skills, providing me with a holistic perspective on community development.
?Master of Social Work (MSW) - Child & Family Welfare: Completed from SHUATS, Allahabad (2018), this degree provided me with the theoretical foundation for grassroots interventions. It helped me understand family dynamics, social policies, and community mobilization strategies which I later applied in projects across MP and UP.
?MBA in Human Resource Management: Earned from Barkatullah University, Bhopal (2016), this specialization equipped me with essential organizational skills. It has been instrumental in my ability to lead large teams, such as the 56-member team I directed for COVID-19 initiatives. It also enhanced my competencies in stakeholder engagement and conflict resolution.
?Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA): Completed from MMYVV, Jabalpur (2012), this technical degree laid the groundwork for my proficiency in digital tools. It has allowed me to effectively use data-driven monitoring systems, MIS tools (HMIS), and software like TUS for large-scale surveys and reporting.
?This unique combination of Social Work (MSW) for empathy and field action, Management (MBA) for professional leadership, and Technical skills (BCA) for data accuracy makes me a well-rounded professional capable of handling complex development projects.
