Hello! I am Prakashani, a FARE Fellow in the Department of Economic Sciences at IIT Kanpur. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from IIT Kanpur, completed under the supervision of Dr. Sohini Sahu and Dr. Neelanjan Datta. I also hold a Bachelor's (Hons.) and a Master's degree in Economics from Banaras Hindu University.
My research interests lie in Public Finance, Macro-Development, Political Economy, and Inequality. I am particularly interested in fiscal decentralization, political institutions, women's political representation, gender budgeting, and their implications for health, education, and inclusive development.
I am in the job market (2026-2027). My job market paper, "Gender Budgeting, School Infrastructure, and Girls' Schooling Participation: Evidence from the Indian States" (with Dr. Sohini Sahu and Dr. Neelanjan Datta), is currently under revision at Economics of Education Review.
I am also a Fellow of the Global Labor Organization (GLO).
