As a member of the Core Group that prepared the Human Development Report of Kerala

2005, I prepared three background papers and rewrote most of the Report and drafted the

‘Acknowledgements’ section.

Completed Project

(1) ‘Measuring Individual Agency/Empowerment: A Study in Kerala’ with Dr,

Sabina Alkire of Harvard University; sponsored by Harvard University and

Sanskriti Foundation, New Delhi; commenced in December 2005 and Report

submitted in April 2007.

The study sought to develop and disseminate a measure of empowerment or

agency freedom, and to explore whether it is desirable to integrate this measure

into multidimensional poverty comparisons or indices.

17

(2) ‘The Challenge of Social Protection in Rural India and China’, sponsored by

the Ford Foundation (along with Prof. KP Kannan and in collaboration with the

Rural Development Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences,

Beijing. Commenced in January 2004. A Study Report on Social Protection in

Rural India was submitted in June 2007.

The main objective of this research programme is to develop an intellectual case

for social security in its comprehensive sense as an entitlement, more precisely, as

a “right”, to the poor, excluded and vulnerable social groups and to pursue the

possibility of its universal coverage in China and India.

(3) ‘Mid-Term Appraisal of the XI Five Year Plan of Kerala’

The Draft Report prepared by a team of researchers, coordinated by me at CDS

for the Planning Commission of India was completed in December 2010. The

Report is organized in two parts:

a) Study 1 on the Monitorable Indicators

The Report attempts to study the trends in these indicators from the Ninth

Plan period onwards, subject to data availability, and also the likelihood of the

State to achieve the targets for the Eleventh Plan.

b) Study 2 on the Performance of Flagship Programmes.

The Report attempts to study the performance of the State in these

programmes from the year 2002-03 (or from the year of commencement of the

programme), subject to data availability.
