Dissertations on Gender, Politics and the Pandemics

This e-book contains a compilation of the four best dissertations on an array of subjects, handpicked by Lord Meghnad Desai himself. Every year students are required to write a dissertation as part of their one-year PGD Course at the academy and we wish to make them available to you.  

Ms. Manasvita Dubey explores the subject of gender differences in behavior. Ms. Aanchal Dusija, who won the prize for the best dissertation, researched the detection of Covid by using x-ray images by convolutionary neural networks. Ms. Nandita Rajhansa explored consumption post external negative shocks. And Ms. Hritika Parekh chose the topic of social media’s impact on political polarization and public opinion.

We are delighted to be able to share these brilliant works with you and we hope you enjoy them just as much as we did.
