Kanchan Kanojia

A humanitarian disaster-research professional and sociologist, Kanchan Kanojia has a master’s degree in Sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University. She has spent over 12 years at the prestigious Tata Institute of Social Sciences working on psychological care and disaster management of extreme human situations and has a degree in Psychosocial Care and Support in Disaster Management from there. Apart from working tirelessly to address the rehabilitation issues of 26/11 victims and survivors in Mumbai, she is widely invited as a speaker and panellist on platforms such as Save India: Women Across Borders 26/11, and similar debates where she advocates for the survivors who were too marginalised to be noticed. Her work is underlined by the firm belief that everyone deserves to be included in societal development and those left behind by unfortunate circumstances must be held by the hand and brought back to the mainstream of life.
