I am Dr. Jaideep K. Visave, currently working as Program Officer in “Vidarbha Baseline

Survey” project by Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai from last 1 year.

During the current project I had managed 45 people in 5 teams, including monitoring,
evaluation of the data collection and data entry process in the field (in 6 districts of Vidarbha
region). Also I have developed he survey tools for household and for village level. I have given
training to 90 field investigators about the questionnaire for 15 days at TISS, tuljapur campus.
After that I have also given the training to data entry operators for 8 days. Management of all
teams including financial management, program management, administrative work etc I have
handled properly and correctly. The current survey is at state level work. I also know the research
software called SPSS (For data cleaning and mainly for the data analysis).

I have also done the research for my master’s degree. Research is on, Social exclusion and
post disaster rehabilitation- comparative study of children of one to six years of age from
different castes. Research talks about how recovery is helpful to increase the nutritional status
of the children of 1 to 6 ages of years of the village called Jawali (rehabilitated village).it also talks
about the fruits of recovery process reaches, or not, to every caste in this village.
I am currently working as program officer in baseline survey, this gives me the experience of the
good researcher and hence I think I am the most suitable person for this post, because I got the
relevant experience in research field.

Thanks
