I am Ajit Kumar Kannaujiya, working as a research analyst in Gender Project, IIPS, Mumbai. I was pursuing a Ph.D. in Population Studies at IIPS before joining the project. After completing my master's degree in Population Studies in May 2017, I joined the MPhil program in the same year and completed it in May 2018. It is my preference to work with large-scale survey data, and issues related to maternal and child health are of particular interest to me.
