About Arghyam

Arghyam is an Indian public charitable foundation setup with an endowment from Rohini Nilekani, working in the water and sanitation sector since 2005 with the vision “Safe, sustainable water for all”.  ‘Arghyam’ is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘Offering’. 

Place of work

The intern can work from home.

Internship profile

Arghyam is looking for a Data and Research Intern for 3 months. Arghyam is embarking on several projects related to water data, specifically to do with groundwater and sanitation. One of the themes we want to explore under sanitation is its relationship with health. To do this, we want to identify relevant data sets from rural health and look for correlations between relevant health indicators and rural sanitation. Once we have this data and understand the correlations, we will also be working to make the data more accessible to different communities like designers, journalists and developers and WatSan professionals.

The intern we're seeking would assist in this project. This intern's work could include technical efforts (converting PDFs to Excel), but it will most include research  in the health sector- identifying new datasets, issues and gaps in existing ones, and relevant academic research. There will be a surplus of both kinds of work available, so the balance and nature of the work will be shaped by the intern and tailored to his or her skills.

Experience

Applicants should have some of the following skills, but not all are required:

  • Basic research skills (Health-related research experience a plus but not mandatory)
  • Experience in working with datasets
  • Writing skills
  • Basic knowledge of internet applications and computer software (Microsoft Office)
