Dr. Biswajit Mahapatra

Ph.D in Anthropology
He is our Research Officer. He is an UGC NET qualified Phd degree holder. He is helping us day-in-day-out to analyze and resolve research issues on time but never compromises on data accuracy. He has been awarded a Senior Research Fellowship from the Anthropological Survey of India. He is a very focused person. He is working hard to achieve his life goals. But that doesn’t make him Jack, the dull boy, as he also spends his spare time with his friends.

Dr. Sajda Khatoon
Research Officer, CPHR, MANT
PhD.
Dr. Sajda Khatoon is the newest addition to MANT Research Team. She is working as a Research Officer. Her polite and introverted behavior actually does not go well with the knowledge she has in her field. She is a Ph.D holder in Geography with UGC NET/JRF-SRF. Apart from work, she loves to consume content from cosmology. We wish her career shines like the stars she gazes up to in the sky one day.

Suraya Roy
Research Officer, CPHR, MANT
PhD. (Pursuing)
She did her Masters in Economics and is pursuing her PhD on Labour Economics. But that’s not all about her. She has another self of her which is mad about music. She plays Esraj (a 300 yrs old Indian stringed instrument), trust me, she plays it really well. When not playing Esraj, she loves to read books or try her skills in Photography.
