Rajesh Veeraraghavan is currently a PhD student at the UC Berkeley School of
Information, where he is exploring the relationship between information and
socio economic development. Specifically, I am looking at Right to Information
and its effect on the implementation of National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
(NREGA) in India.
He used to work as an associate researcher in the Technology for Emerging
Markets Group at Microsoft Research India in Bangalore. Prior to this, I was a
software developer at Microsoft in the US and a volunteer for Association for
India’s Development for several years.
His research focuses on developing computing and social systems that complement
existing efforts of sustainable development in the developing world. My current
work has been in the broad area of computing in smallholder agriculture.
