What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a research internship to build hands-on research experience in politics and governance across countries.

At the Policy, Politics and Governance Foundation (PPGF), I’m learning about India’s political landscape, political communication, political strategy, public intelligence gathering, and policy research through the ICPC Internship Programme.

At Politico Insights, I managed an end-to-end research project on Bihar’s rural development initiatives, using secondary data, statistical analysis, and literature review to evaluate government programme outcomes. I drafted policy briefs and research reports for senior researchers.

I also wrote an opinion-based article on food security in India for CDFA Research Foundation, drawing on secondary data and official sources to assess policy gaps. I’m pursuing an MA in Rural Development at IGNOU and seeking a research internship to build hands-on experience in politics and governance across countries.
