I am a communication professional with a strong background in development, specializing in education and livelihood sectors. My passion lies in utilizing strategic communication to create meaningful social impact. I’ve honed my expertise through roles at PRADAN, the Piramal Foundation, and Tezpur University, where I developed and executed communication plans, created newsletters, and facilitated media engagement to support various developmental initiatives.

At PRADAN, I focused on rural development in Jharkhand and West Bengal, strengthening women’s self-help groups and community institutions. I launched a website and newsletter for Mahila Vikas Mandal, promoting community communication and stakeholder engagement. At the Piramal Foundation, I led programs to build the capacity of middle managers in education and mentored Gandhi Fellows. As a Project Coordinator at Tezpur University, I managed the SCoPE-Assamese project, developing strategic communication tools like the Assamese science newsletter Sandhan to enhance scientific awareness.

My skills span content writing, media relations, stakeholder management, and capacity building. I have created communication materials for esteemed organizations like the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), PRADAN, and Tezpur University. Additionally, I have led participatory video projects and contributed to award-winning short films.

As a media scholar, I explore the intersection of communication and politics in Assam, focusing on elections, sub-nationalism, and identity politics. I am also interested in film as a medium for political critique and dialogue. With a background in mass communication and journalism, I am passionate about using media and communication strategies to drive development and foster engagement.
