Ruthu Ganesh shares an instance where an enumerator impersonated a government official to pressure people into participating in a study.
What happens when an enumerator violates research ethics?

Understanding stories behind the dataset is an important part of research. It means looking beyond the data to understand the realities, contexts, and experiences behind it.

Enumerator bias occurs when the person collecting data, through their words, tone, or behaviour, influences how a participant responds.
In this video, Pronoy explains what enumerator bias is, how it can affect data quality, and why it matters in research.
Our co-founders @anup_akr and @sitaram_sitaram attended ‘Common Ground: India-France Development Dialogue’, co-hosted by @JPAL_SA, the @FundInnovDev (FID) and @AFD_France (AFD), at @IHCDelhi today, where they met Nobel laureate and economist Esther Duflo.
DIA’s research on improving police responses to gender-based violence in Bihar was presented by PI Dr. @g_borker. The project addresses GBV by improving the sensitivity and skills of male law enforcement officers through applied theatre & expressive arts-based interventions.
The intervention demonstrated measurable improvements in officers’ attitudes towards GBV victims, legal knowledge, and responsiveness.

What soft skills go into building a high-quality sample?
Anil Pandey explains why politeness, clear communication and respect for respondents are essential to field research.
Watch him share why these skills matter in data collection.
A survey requires enumerators to understand the responses they receive, remain sensitive to local contexts, and build rapport with participants without compromising the quality of the data.
In this video, Shreya shares how to conduct thoughtful, rigorous field research.
Fieldwork can bring unexpected challenges. In this case, a DIA team working on a study about social norms was mistaken for something else, & the police were called.
In this video, @TweetBhuvnesh shares what the experience taught them about navigating the realities of fieldwork.
This World Teachers’ Day, we’re highlighting DIA’s work on curiosity-based science learning in government schools in Fatehpur, UP. The project is studying whether curiosity is fostered through teachers, or whether the same learning can be delivered directly to students.
The project aims to generate insights on innovative methods of science learning and teacher training in government schools.

We work on questions that matter to people, and it’s fulfilling for us when that work helps inform policies that make a difference.
In this video, Ragavi shares what it was like to see a policy making a difference.

Women’s safety in the field is a fundamental part of DIA’s approach to responsible research.
During a field visit with an all-women team, @ImleyDeepa found herself in a situation where they were unable to find transport.
Watch this video to listen to her experience.
We asked a few members of the DIA team what they love about working here.
From learning through fieldwork seeing research translate into policy, each member has a different perspective on what makes the work meaningful at DIA.
