Sr. Programme Officer
Mr. Avijit Paul is an experienced Documentation Specialist and Action Researcher with over a decade of cross-sectoral expertise spanning WASH systems, rural livelihoods, public health, and forest governance. With an academic foundation in journalism and mass communication and early professional experience with Hindustan Times and Voice of Russia (Sputnik International), he brings a strong editorial and analytical lens to evidence-based research and documentation. His work is deeply rooted in field engagement with tribal communities, where he has led participatory action research, impact assessments, and policy-linked documentation across complex socio-ecological contexts.
Avijit has played key roles in programs supported by institutions such as PNB MetLife, MetLife Foundation, World Vision India and Ramakrishna Mission Lokasiksha Parishad, as well as large-scale initiatives backed by UNICEF, Tata Trusts, JICA and BRLF. He has consistently translated grassroots insights into high-quality knowledge products—including case studies, analytical reports, and policy briefs—that inform program strategy and advocacy. Complemented by international exposure and cross-cultural communication experience, he brings a nuanced, field-grounded, and globally informed perspective to development research and documentation.
