Sreya pursued her graduate and postgraduate studies in Political Science from Jadavpur University. As a SYLFF Fellow at the master’s level, her study focused on Development Induced Displacement: Compensation and Resettlement. She analysed the nature and issues involved in the traditional development paradigm leading to displacement in India, the lacunae in existing policy framework and legal mechanisms governing displacement, compensation and resettlement. Her work tried to suggest reforms in policy prescriptions for a holistic and more equitable resettlement and compensation package for the population displaced due to development projects.
