Professional Experience:
I have 4+ years of professional experience in the development and social sector, working closely with rural and tribal communities across education, healthcare, social protection, and livelihoods. Your experience spans programme management, field implementation, community engagement, stakeholder coordination, partnerships, research, and last-mile service delivery. As a Program Manager, you led undergraduate mentoring and career guidance initiatives for rural and tribal youth, conducted 40+ career awareness workshops reaching more than 2,000 students, and worked with NGOs, government bodies, and educational institutions to improve access to scholarships and higher education, ultimately supporting 400+ students. In your Social Protection Officer role, you managed mobile healthcare delivery across 30 villages, coordinated with local authorities and stakeholders, conducted outreach programmes, and helped nearly 8,000 elderly people access doorstep healthcare and social protection services. Earlier, as a Program Officer, you worked on entrepreneurship development in rural Maharashtra, guiding 200+ aspiring entrepreneurs on business planning, credit linkages, and government schemes, with 40+ entrepreneurs successfully accessing credit, training, and government benefits. Overall, your professional journey reflects a strong combination of programme execution, community-based implementation, stakeholder management, partnerships, youth engagement, livelihoods, education, healthcare, and data/research-oriented problem solving, with a clear focus on strengthening access to services and opportunities for underserved communities.
