Rahul K. Sharma, Director, MERL

“Social protection needs to be transformative, and change not just the economic but also the social condition of a household. Our effort at Indus Action is to enhance knowledge about, ease access for, and enable the delivery of a basket entitlements that cover critical Moments that Matter for households.”

Shatavisha Banerjee, Associate Director, Research & Design

“Welfare becomes real when we stop designing FOR citizens and start building WITH them – where policy meets humanity.”
