My Story

My journey began with a deep curiosity about people, systems, and the realities that shape society. From my academic years at Aligarh Muslim University to working with leading national and international institutions, I have remained committed to understanding Bharat through research, public health, and population science.

My work across India’s National Family Health Surveys (NFHS), education, and community initiatives has shaped my belief that data must serve people. Today, I continue to connect research, leadership, and public engagement to create meaningful and lasting social impact.
