Over the summer Genevieve Joy spent two months in West Bengal conducting research as part of the Tata Social Intern scheme, an internship programme administered by LSE Careers and the India Observatory. Her project involved analysing agricultural projects and making recommendations about which were worth scaling up. She found that while the majority of the projects she reviewed were worth expanding, project participants needed to be empowered to ensure sustainability.
