Language Requirement: Assamese, Hindi, and English. Proficiency in spoken Assamese and Hindi (native fluency) is preferred. Length of Commitment: 10 months Name of the Project: Evaluation of Prathams Hamara Gaon Program Sector- Education J-PAL South Asia at the Institute for Financial Management and Research seeks qualified applicants for the position of Research Associate to lead impact evaluations in India. The position offers an opportunity to gain first-hand field management experience in an organization undertaking cutting-edge development research. The Research Associate will join a team of world-class researchers from leading universities in the world and will gain first-hand experience implementing randomized control trials in an organization undertaking cutting-edge development research. Read more about our work and projects Project Details- The evaluation builds on the earlier J-PAL study conducted by Martina Bjrkman Nyqvist in the Nagaon, Assam. Prathams Hamara Gaon program supports the development of foundational math and literacy skills among the students of primary government schools. As of 2022-23, the program operated in 5,192 communities and reached approximately 386,000 children. The program targets two subgroups of primary school students with different program components: students in grades 1-2 vs. students in grades 3 and above. For grades 1-2, the intervention includes two main components. First, Pratham volunteers support students through in-school activities. Second, Pratham volunteers support the mothers of these children through mother groups. For grades 3 and above, the intervention consists of an adaptation of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) program evaluated in earlier J-PAL studies. This study speaks to three key issues related to Indian childrens (lack of) mastery of foundational skills in mathematics and literacy. First, Prathams Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) program seeks to support students in grades three and above by remedying their lack of foundational skills. A key question is whether this learning gap in later grades can be addressed earlierin grades 1-2before it fully develops. A prior J-PAL study on Prathams work in Assam has also documented that the TaRL programs effectiveness can be strengthened by combining the grade-3 intervention with a community-based component. Here, for the program on grades 1-2, the effectiveness of a similar, complementary component for the earlier grades is of interest: mother groups. Third, we are particularly interested in whether the effects of the early-grade intervention either fade out or persist over time and whether the two interventions (grades 1-2 and 3-5) complement or substitute each other. Lastly, because of the muted impacts found by the earlier evaluation, and given Prathams subsequent changes to its program in Assam, we will also measure the effect of the revised grade-3 intervention. More specifically, we seek to answer the following research questions. What is the effect of the early-grade intervention on students acquisition of foundational skills and socio-emotional skills What is the effect of the grade-3 intervention on students acquisition of foundational skills To what extent is the effectiveness of the early-grade intervention driven by its mother group component Do the effects of the early-grade intervention fade out or persist until the end of grade 3 To what extent do the early-grade intervention and the grade-3 intervention complement each other Beyond measuring effects on students foundational skills, we also plan to assess whether the program is implemented with quality and taken up well, investigate program mechanisms, and explore potential effects on secondary outcomes (both at the mother and child level). Principal Investigators: Martina Bjrkman Nyqvist, Andy de Barros Research Associate will work closely with Research Managers Principal Investigators who will guide and supervise them in their various tasks.

This project is motivated by the need to improve the quality of democratic participation by citizens to attain better democratic and development outcomes. We propose to study to what extent civic education causally improves civic participation. We study its implication for citizen participation in democracy, respect for fellow citizens, democratic values, and redistribution. Incredibly, while dozens of countries, NGOs, and aid organizations around the world invest in civic education, there is no RCT or well-identified observational evaluation that assesses its effectiveness. In the context of democratic backsliding, it is crucial to understand what policies can support democracy. Can civic education contribute to overcoming political polarization and strengthen democratic attitudes and commitmentsCan it lead to a more informed citizenry and increase participationAnd can it do so this durablyThe knowledge generated by this project will contribute to placing policy efforts involving civic education on a credible basis of evidence rather than on untested normative presumptions. The project is led by Prabhat Barnwal (Michigan State University), Enrique Seira (Michigan State University), and Alberto Simpser (ITAM, Mexico).

Language Requirement: Hindi, and English Length of Commitment: 1 year Joining Location: About the project Unsustainable groundwater extraction has led to 75 percent of all blocks in Punjab (India) to be classified as overexploited, contributing to 12 percent of Indias overexploited blocks. This pilot project seeks to mitigate this by enhancing the utilization of Punjabs underutilized canal infrastructure, thereby reducing dependence on groundwater extraction, which currently accounts for 79 percent of the states agricultural irrigation. This pilot proposes the introduction of a canal monitor, an official appointed by the Government of Punjab who will ensure the coordinated operation of canal gates. We will investigate whether this intervention encourages farmers to use canal water for irrigation, thereby substituting away from groundwater extraction and lowering energy consumption. This shift is vital for promoting sustainable agricultural practices and has large potential to alleviate water stress in India, the global leader in groundwater extraction.

Around 2.8 million people in Bihars cities face multidimensional poverty, with 1.4 million classified as severely poor (NITI Aayog 2023). Limited access to clean water, sanitation, healthcare, education, and stable jobs affects low-income families, women, youth, and informal workers. Globally, urbanization is accelerating, with Asia and Africa driving most of the growth. In many developing countries, urban expansion outpaces infrastructure development, deepening urban poverty. India exemplifies these challenges, with over 85% of its urban workforce in the informal sector, where poverty and inequality. Addressing these issues requires innovative solutions focused on the most vulnerable communities. The Bihar Urban Graduation Program, a strategic initiative within the Satat Jeevikoparjan Yojana (SJY) Urban program, is designed to address these critical issues. The program adopts a multifaceted approach to combat urban poverty by promoting sustainable livelihoods, enhancing financial inclusion, fostering social empowerment, and ensuring access to basic services. By addressing poverty from multiple dimensions, SJY Urban seeks to reduce economic vulnerability and increase resilience among the urban poor. SJY Urban prioritises women and youth, recognising their pivotal roles in achieving sustainable growth, particularly in urban settings. A focus on urban youth aligns with global calls for inclusive growth and the need to address the aspirations.

We strongly encourage people from marginalized communities to apply for this role. Project Specific Details Indias National Education Policy (NEP, 2020) sets forth an ambitious agenda to transform education in India. Policies relating to vocational education in particular have undergone significant changes with a view to equip young Indians with 21st century skills. As children progress through schooling, they will be exposed to age appropriate activities that enhance their vocational skills, knowledge and work towards proficiency in chosen vocations by the end of grade 12. Notably, under recent reforms,vocational education will no longer be a subject students chose in lieu of other academic subjects, rather policies will open up a wide variety of educational streams with vocational courses being one among the many options. Such a change in childrens choice option is expected to mitigate unfavorable attitudes towards vocational education as something children choose only when they are unable to perform well in academic subjects. By integrating a focus on vocational skills from an early age, this policy attempts to bring a holistic approach towards education in general. This project will be conducted in partnership with NGO Lend a Hand India (LAHI), one of Indias largest organizations working on school-based vocational education, and will conduct research to inform programming at this nascent but critical juncture, and design future randomized evaluations institutionalize evidence-based improvements to program design and implementation. The study will focus on understanding aspirations and attitudes of children and their parents towards vocational training, how school personnel make decisions regarding content of training, and challenges faced by small and medium enterprises towards quality hiring. The study will also focus on different aspirations and expectations among young girls and boys. The findings from this scoping study will enable discussions for a future randomized evaluation, as a new vocational education curriculum is rolled out in grades 11-12 in the next academic year. The study will involve conducting surveys and qualitative interviews with different stakeholders such as students, parents, teachers and government officials to gain a better understanding of the above-mentioned questions across two Indian states with strong LAHI presence - Gujarat and Jharkhand.
