Impacts of floods on farming communities in the Kosi river basin

Students enrolled in the M.A. Development programme at Azim Premji University (APU), Bangalore,  undertake a field project consisting of research, action-project or intervention in areas such as rural livelihoods, disability rights, agriculture and land rights, citizenship and identity, gender and sexuality. The project entails 30 weeks of research, fieldwork and analysis at the end of which the students present their findings and observations through posters and presentations.
