Sumitra Mishra

Twenty years of work experience ranging from grassroots direct practice, rural, urban poor and urban contexts, programme delivery and partnerships, grant management, fund raising and communications, research & advocacy, and organisation development has helped her in evolving as a person and developing a portfolio of holistic professional abilities. Programme development for the most excluded and disenfranchised persons with disabilities, victims of trafficking, survivors of violence, especially women and girls is the cornerstone of my work. My work experience follows a trajectory of joining bold socio-entrepreneurial initiatives and growing it to scale where we were able to demonstrate an impact model. Social justice is the fundamental agenda of the work I do.
