Devika B.a

As a passionate and dedicated social worker, I am committed to being a change maker in society by working for the welfare of communities. Through my initiatives, I aim to create a better place for people to live and spread rays of light to those I meet. With a strong background in disaster management and a focus on community-level work and technology like mapping and GIS, I strive to provide essential support during times of crisis.

I bring a hunger for learning and a positive outlook to my work, always seeking to make a positive impact in the lives of those affected by disasters. My goal is to create a world where hope, support, and empowerment are accessible to all

I have gained diverse experience across various roles. As a Field Investigator for ICSSR, I evaluated the utilization of sanitation facilities under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in ecologically vulnerable regions of Kerala. At People’s Power Collective, I conducted research, surveyed villages, analyzed data, and compiled reports to enhance community radio listenership.

During my internship with the District Disaster Management Authority, I actively participated in surveys, data updating, safety assessments, and disaster preparedness activities. Additionally, I contributed to a social audit of the Public Distribution System (PDS) in Kerala with the Civil Supplies Department.
