My experience at JGU has been transformative. The Master’s programme in Public Health at Jindal School of Public Health and Human Development enhanced my knowledge, challenged my assumptions, and encouraged critical, evidence-based thinking. The supportive environment empowered me to articulate my thoughts effectively, transcending traditional gender norms. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside visionary educators and thinkers.
During my MPH programme at JSPH, I interned with organizations like Ibtada, where I assessed Sexual and Reproductive Health awareness among village women, and SPECTRA, where I evaluated livelihood project impacts. At Krsh Welfare Foundation, I created mental health awareness materials. These experiences deepened my understanding of health and development challenges. I am now working as a Research Assistant at AIIMS Rajkot, focusing on maternal health.
I interned with NACO under the Ministry of Health, analyzing factors linked to unsuppressed viral loads among pregnant women with HIV in Andhra Pradesh. I examined socio-economic factors, healthcare access, and treatment adherence to identify care gaps. I also participated in initiatives like SAMPARK 2.0, ART center visits, and training on integrated HIV and NCD services, gaining valuable insights into holistic HIV care.
I interned with Child Rights and You (CRY), researching child and maternal health indicators in South Indian states and conducting cyber safety training for students. At the Pratichi Institute, part of the Pratichi Trust founded by Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, I worked on the PM POSHAN scheme in West Bengal, promoting school nutrition gardens and analyzing surveys on their benefits and women's political participation.
My first-year MPH training at JSPH prepared me for challenging professional assignments. During my internship at the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), I conducted literature reviews on health programs and climate-smart agriculture, gaining insights into evidence- based research and its role in policymaking. I also participated in the SDG Young Influencer Programme, which highlighted youth contributions to policy discussions, enhancing my understanding of public policy and research.
My internship at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was a pivotal learning experience, offering insights into global humanitarian efforts and public health. I worked with the MRIS, Advocacy, and DEI committees, contributing to reports, a paper on caste, and initiatives for organizational change. Mentored by field veterans, I honed my skills in research, focus group discussions, and stakeholder mapping, gaining invaluable expertise in public health communication and humanitarian work.
