Ayushi Rai
I have an Honours degree in Political Science from the University of Delhi, awarded in the year 2014. I did my Masters in Public Policy and Governance from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Hyderabad in 2016. I have worked as a Research Intern with the World Wide Fund for Nature, Chintan Environmental Research and Action Group, and Centre for Science and Environment. Following my Masters, I was placed in PRADAN (Professional Assistance for Development Action) and worked as a Development Apprentice in the West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand. Subsequently, I was offered a position of Assistant Manager in Chintan Environmental Research and Action Group. My current research focuses on climate-induced migration in Western Himalayas. I am interested in travel and photography. In my spare time, I like to read. I am currently juggling between 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, A Man Called Ove, and Foragers, Farmers, and Fossil Fuels.
