What I'm looking for

I'm looking for community development and education-focused work where I can strengthen local systems, engage stakeholders, support inclusive learning, and create sustainable change for marginalized communities.

I'm currently a Gandhi Fellow with Kaivalya Education Foundation, a wing of Piramal Foundation, supporting Class 1–5 education in Chatra through Project MAITRI under the Aspirational Bharat Collaborative. I conduct student assessments, build learning interventions, facilitate teacher training, and document progress to improve learning outcomes.

I've led education, tribal empowerment, rural development, legal-aid outreach, women’s empowerment, and municipal community programmes through KITES India, CORD, Jagori Rural Charitable Trust, LSGD Kerala, ASAP Kerala, and the District Legal Services Authority. My MSW fieldwork, community coordination, NCC service, Scouting, and national Wushu experience have shaped a disciplined, inclusive approach to sustainable social change.
