RESEARCH
The Promise Foundation is deeply
committed to systematic and scientific research. We examine aspects of
the behavioural sciences that are linked to education and social and economic
development. We conduct our own research to test existing theory and develop
models relevant to the Indian situation. India presents a situation where
the paucity of resources and urgency of need do not allow for the luxury
of research that is not directly linked to application. Our attempt is
to follow the action research model and the driving force behind our efforts
at scientific investigation are to develop applications. Therefore, while
we do believe that research must inform practice, we also have learnt
that practice could lead and shape research. It is our attempt to translate
relevant theory and research into applications that facilitate behavioural
change amongst the economically disadvantaged.
This section presents some of the most important findings from our research
over the last decade.
