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.

Project Specific Details Indias National Education Policy (NEP, 2020) sets forth an ambitious agenda to transform education in India.

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 here. Project Specific Details This project is a scale-up pilot of a previously evaluated study done in collaboration with the Government of Haryana. It was found that a package of interventions combining well-connected local immunization ambassadors, targeted reminders and incentives to caregivers increased routine immunization by approximately 55%. This project aims to test the effectiveness of a new model for identification of ambassadors to spread information on routine immunization. The study will focus on verifying the centrality of gossips/ambassadors selected through a model of phoney surveys conducted by the NGO Suvita. The study will be conducted in a sample of 450 villages. During the first phase of the study, gossips will be identified by field surveys by J-PAL, phone surveys by Suvita and through random selection by Suvita from Suvitas database. The second phase of the study would be information dissemination. In each of the 450 villages, J-PAL SA surveyors would seed the information to a maximum of five ambassadors who would in turn inform the villagers to register onto a text messaging service to receive information on immunization. The centrality of the nodes will be assessed through the number of people who register on the service. The RA will be responsible for a series of primary data collection exercises.
