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. 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.

Project Description: Almost a billion people in developing countries are not connected to the electricity grid. Those with power are still subject to unreliable supply and frequent outages. One cause is a widespread inability of utilities to collect on payments, forcing them to ration supply. This project will evaluate the use of new technology of smart meters to break this cycle of low-payments and low-quality that in turn causes consumers to feel justified in making incomplete payments. Smart metering and pre-payment specifically have several beneficial features, such as lowering transactions and monitoring costs and perhaps reducing liquidity constraints. There is also a growing literature on the consumer response to real-time pricing, which smart metering enables. However, there are no credible evaluations on the crucial pointcan a technological intervention change norm, incentives, and payment, and thereby improve reliability and access, even in a high-theft environment While there have been great strides in smart metering, it is not clear that metering alone can reduce theft if the fundamental problem is collusion between collection agents and utility customers, at the expense of power suppliers. Our study (PIs: Prof. Michael Greenstone, Prof. Robin Burgess, Prof. Nicholas Ryan and Prof. Anant Sudarshan) would conduct a large-scale neighborhood level randomized-control trial to answer this question in a critical developing country setting, working jointly on implementation with state distribution utility of Assam Power Distribution Company Limited.

Education: Bachelors in Economics/Engineering Flooding fields for paddy cultivation is water-intensive, power-intensive, and releases methane that contributes to climate change. Projections suggest that water demand will exceed the supply by 50% by 2030. Free power exacerbates the fiscal cost to the state of over-consumption of water. Agricultural practices like direct seeded rice (DSR) and alternate wetting and drying (AWD) already exist and are being actively promoted by many state governments including GoT to reduce water use in paddy cultivation without affecting the productivity or quality of rice. We suggest increasing the adoption of these practices by paying rice farmers as an incentive for reducing water use. Whether or not a farmer is using alternate methods of growing rice will be validated through a new model. The incentive program implementation model would be: (i) use satellite imagery of field flooding to measure adoption at scale and (ii) deliver timely direct transfers via GoTs existing payments infrastructure. Farmers would receive additional extension information on AWD and DSR alongside the incentives. This proposed DBT for sustainable practices would encourage conservation of groundwater and power. Research Associate Roles and Responsibilities: The RA will work closely with academic researchers and other field staff to perform a variety of tasks including, but not limited to: Overseeing implementation of the evaluation in accordance to the research design. Designing survey questionnaires, conducting qualitative pilots, conducting quantitative analysis of study data and refining surveying instruments. Managing field teams: Recruit, train, and supervise field-based teams consisting of project assistants, field managers, field-based surveyors, data entry operators.
