Taught a course on ‘Human Development and Poverty’ at IGIDR and also at the National Chengchi University (Spring 2015). The course discusses conceptual aspects such as Sen's Capability and Rawls' Justice among others, issues of measurement, governance and participation, developmental issues of education and health and other related areas. For hands-on experience, students have to do a field-survey as part of the course requirement.

In recent times, I have also been the instructor for the ‘Research Methodology’ course at IGIDR that has been designed to facilitate learning-by-doing. Earlier, at GIPE, I have taught courses/modules on ‘Statistical Prerequisites’ and ‘Microeconomics’.
