Palanpur Survey 2022: Palanpur surveys are a unique example of the inter-disciplinary nature of social sciences at the CSH. Palanpur is a small village in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh and has been surveyed every decade since independence starting from 1950s. The last two surveys of the village in 2008-10 and 2015 were organised with CSH as the base. Both research projects were funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) and hosted jointly with the London School of Economics. It was a collaborative research project with research scholars from Jawaharlal Nehru University, Indian Statistical Institute and Ambedkar University, Delhi. Since 2007, CSH has been the physical and intellectual base of the surveys with another survey organised in 2022.
