Ongoing Projects
We , myself and Partha Pratim Borah of Department of Sociology, Dibrugarh University, are engaged with a project entitled “Contemporary Peoples’ Movements in Assam” as part of The Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI) initiated by the International Institute of Social Studies, Hague, Netherlands.I am working with the project “Rewriting the People’s History of Assam” in collaboration with “Jatiya Bhavan” of Jorhat.
Completed Projects
I worked as Principal Investigator of a major project entitled “Attempting at Social Inclusion through Constitutional Amendments: Efficacy of 734d and 74thAmendments in the Context of India’s Northeast” in collaboration with Omeo Kumar Das Institute of Social Change and Development, Guwahati. The project is funded by Indian Council for Social Science Research. This study makes an attempt at looking at the Constitutional provisions, including various amendments, aiming at social inclusion in India. In doing so it has made a special reference to the 73rd and 74th Amendments that accorded a statutory status to the so-called third tier of governments at the grassroots. Particular reference has been drawn from two north eastern states viz. Assam and Tripura in putting the main arguments in perspective. The report has been submitted to ICSSR in 2019. It is believed that the findings of the study will benefit the government and non-government agenises in formulating their policies on local governance.
