About Mayuree Bankar

I am a development practitioner with a strong foundation in social sciences and a deep commitment to inclusive and evidence-based interventions. My work across rural and tribal regions of India, particularly in maternal and child health, has sharpened my abilities in program implementation, field research, and data-driven planning.With experience at The Antara Foundation, I have led block-level health interventions impacting thousands of women and children, while building strong relationships with government stakeholders and frontline workers. My academic journey from TISS, Tuljapur to Azim Premji University equipped me with a nuanced understanding of exclusion, social policy, and grassroots realities.Driven by the vision of equitable access and community-led development, I aim to contribute to public policy solutions that are both sustainable and grounded in lived realities. I am especially passionate about working with marginalized communities, leveraging local knowledge, and integrating behavioral insights into policy design.Let’s connect if you are working in the intersections of public policy, development, and data-driven policy, or simply want to exchange ideas on creating impact through inclusive governance.
