Experience

Team Leader - Project Mesha
Aga Khan Foundation
Mar 2022 — Present · Muzaffarpur, IN
I work as Team Leader, Project Mesha, leading a collaborative partnership between Jeevika and AKF with support from the Gates Foundation. Under this initiative, an entrepreneurial cadre of pashu sakhis has been trained, providing livestock services to over 7 lakhs households in Bihar. I also support Mesha Mahila Bakripalak Producer Company, a women goat rearers’ owned FPC that has achieved a turnover of over Rs 3 crore within just two years of its operation. Additionally, I provide strategic leadership to a climate-resilient and agroecological livelihoods pilot with farmers in Muzaffarpur and Khagaria, covering pulses cultivation, SRI, green fodder, and conservation tillage for soil health and emission reduction, along with large-scale tree plantations, water management, micro-forests, biogas promotion, bio-composting, and ration balancing for livestock.

The Aga Khan Foundation is a leading global development organisation working to address the root causes of poverty. For more than 50 years, we have helped create strong community institutions that support sustainable, locally-driven initiatives to improve the lives of millions of people. Rooted in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, our staff have unique insights into the complex challenges people face today as well as the opportunities for tomorrow. By combining local knowledge with global best practices, we strive to bring about transformative and long-lasting improvements to quality of life. Taking a generational approach, we have built the trust required to do this work even in the most fragile contexts. Our programmes aim to ensure infants have the best possible start in life; families are healthy and well-nourished; children and young people can access quality learning opportunities and grow to fulfil their potential; and adults can develop future-facing skills so they can gain employment or start their own businesses. We believe women and girls should not be limited in their choices or opportunities and are dedicated to fostering inclusive communities in which all voices are heard and valued. As our climate changes, we are working with the communities we serve, and especially farmers, to adapt to its challenges and opportunities and contribute to a healthy planet. Working alongside the agencies of the Aga Khan Development Network – comprising hospitals, schools, universities, businesses and climate and cultural programmes around the world – we have access to a unique breadth of resources and in-depth know-how. And through partnerships with local communities, civil society and business as well as governments and international aid agencies we are working to expand opportunity for everyone. We are building a future where we all thrive together.
