About

I have been working with different research projects in the area of nutrition and public health from 2004 to date. Throughout this period, I had to deal with large-scale quantitative data as well as qualitative information to achieve my research objectives and project goals. My key research interest includes understanding the links of child growth and nutrition with the social context of the vulnerable communities using Amartya Sen's capability approach.
