Dr. Barsharani Maharana
In a developing country like India, poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, caste and gender- discrimination are the primary obstacles to development. Witnessing these problems and understanding their improper management and flawed policy decisions, I was motivated to focus on interdisciplinary science of Population Studies. I have a mission to improve the living conditions and quality of life of the people of my country through imparting the knowledge that I have gained from higher education and research.
Please refer my curriculum vitae for the brief on my educational qualifications, technical & large scale data analysis skill, research papers presented and published in India & abroad, awards & fellowships and professional work & research experience.
