The role involves rigorous empirical fieldwork across indigenous tribal communities and multi-generational households in rural and urban Arunachal Pradesh, questionnaire administration, data entry in Hindi, statistical tabulation, and drafting analytical project reports.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Career & Promotion Ladder
