Praveen Kumar

Greetings!

I am a postdoctoral fellow at Isaac Centre for Public Policy, Ashoka University. I work broadly in the areas of energy and environment, agricultural economics, and applied microeconomics. I employ rigorous econometric methods to explore issues such as groundwater  over-exploitation, clean cooking solutions, electricity reliability, and environmental sustainability. 

I have presented my work in various national and international conferences, including those organized by Society for Economics Research in India, CECFEE (Centre for Research  on the Economics of Climate, Food, Energy and Environment), London School of Economics, Environment for Development initiative, and Journal of Environmental Economics and Management. My work on electric cooking has guided the Energy Management Centre, Ministry of Power, Kerala, on scaling the adoption of induction cookstoves in Kerala childcare centres.
