Dr. Soumyabrata Mondal is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Economics at Banaras Hindu University. His research lies at the intersection of poverty and development studies, with a focus on multidimensional poverty, well-being, livelihood vulnerability, rural transformation, and regional inequalities. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches, he integrates spatial analysis, GIS, quantitative methods, and field-based research to examine the socio-economic conditions of marginalized and tribal communities in India. He has published extensively in national and international peer-reviewed journals on poverty measurement, sustainable livelihoods, nutrition, and inclusive development. His current work explores multidimensional well-being beyond GDP, spatial patterns of deprivation, and evidence-based policy approaches for reducing inequalities. Through his research, he seeks to bridge spatial and social disparities and contribute to policies that promote equitable and sustainable development.
