MA in Labour Studies & Practice
Bridge ShubhamBa Memorial Scholar
I come from the Balaghat district in Madhya Pradesh and am currently pursuing my Master's in Labour Studies and Practice at TISS Mumbai. I chose this course due to its comprehensive approach to understanding both formal and informal sectors. My passion lies in improving the conditions of informal labourers and the working class at the grassroots work. Growing up in a rural and underdeveloped area, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges my community faces, and I am committed to making a difference. My father works as a contract labourer and our family faces significant financial hardships. This support has been invaluable, alleviating the immediate burden and allowing me to focus on my studies without worrying about financial constraints. I am deeply grateful for this support, as it not only helped me cover my current expenses but also gave me hope for continuing my education without financial stress in the upcoming semesters.
