Delighted that this finally found an outlet in #JEBO.

Very happy to be delivering a keynote at the #LeoConference #Economics at @PlakshaUniv . Thanks @prakarsh9 for the invite. Looking forward to 3 engaging days and meeting friends and colleagues. If you are in and around Chandigarh-Mohali region, hope to see you soon. @IIM_Calcutta

Empowering Women, Enabling Change: New Research in World Development We are pleased to share that an article by Prof. Somdeep Chatterjee, Associate Professor, Economics Group, IIM Calcutta, titled “Do Women Hold Up Half the Sky in fuel choices? Revisiting the role of adolescent empowerment in a developing country context”, co-authored with Dr. Prashant Poddar (University of Oxford), has been accepted for publication in the June 2026 issue of World Development (ABDC: A*). The study highlights how empowering women during adolescence through multifaceted interventions can lead to the adoption of cleaner and more modern household fuels post-marriage.
