I received my Ph.D. in economics on the topic “Movements in the Terms of Trade of Primary Commodities vis-à-vis Manufactured Goods: A Theoretical and Empirical Study” from the CESP, JNU, New Delhi. I have published on a variety of progressive economic policy issues, especially in the areas of international terms of trade, food security, employment impacts of clean, renewable energy and the right to energy. My current research focuses on reducing the increasing global inequality within the borders and beyond borders of the nations as well as mitigating the threats of climate change, especially in the developing countries like India, by using sustainable development goals as policy insturments. My passion is to use knowledge in such a way as to make an eventual change in society for the betterment of humankind.
