Partnership & Collaboration — Research for Impact, Worldwide

LASRI is a research institute committed to evidence-based social change. We do not work alone. We invite institutions, organisations, and networks from across India and the globe to collaborate with us — whether through joint research, shared programmes, funding, or communications. Together, we can build knowledge that transforms lives.

Research Partnership

We invite academic institutions, think tanks, universities, and research organisations to collaborate with LASRI on joint research projects, co-authored publications, and evidence-based advocacy. We particularly welcome collaborations that:

• Focus on labour, social protection, migration, gender, climate resilience, or informal economy
• Bring interdisciplinary perspectives to complex development challenges
• Combine academic rigour with community-centred methodologies
• Aim to influence public policy at the national or global level

Please write to us with a brief concept note or expression of interest at lasri.institute@gmail.com.

Programme & Implementation Partnership

LASRI partners with NGOs, civil society organisations, community-based organisations (CBOs), and government bodies to co-design and co-implement field programmes. We can provide:

• Technical expertise in research design, training, and documentation
• Access to networks across grassroots organisations in India and beyond
• Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) support
• Bilingual content development (Hindi and English)

We are particularly interested in partnerships working in the areas of labour rights, gender justice, climate resilience, migration, and sustainable agriculture.

CSR & Funding Partnership

LASRI welcomes CSR funding and grant partnerships from corporations, foundations, and bilateral donors that align with our mission. We offer:

• Full financial transparency and regular impact reporting
• Co-branding opportunities on project outputs and events
• Tax benefits for donors — LASRI is registered and eligible under Section 80G
• Direct community impact across underserved regions

Media & Communications Partnership

LASRI partners with journalists, documentary makers, media houses, and digital content creators to amplify stories of labour, migration, gender, and development. If you are interested in covering our work or in producing content in collaboration with us, please get in touch.

Our Partnership Principles

LASRI’s partnerships are guided by the following commitments:

• Mutual respect and shared ownership of goals
• Transparency in communication, finances, and decision-making
• Centering the voices and experiences of marginalised communities
• A commitment to evidence, honesty, and ethical practice
