“Seeking the Questions: Field Notes from Rural India” is a collection of 25 essays authored by interns of Abhijit Sen Rural Internship programme. The essays included in this volume are observations and experiences of young students based on field-research. The diversity of locations and issues explored highlights the wide range of challenges faced by rural communities. These reports offer the reader a glimpse into the multiple layers of rural life, shaped by geographical, cultural, and socio-economic factors. At the same time, they demonstrate the value of field-based research in deepening our understanding of these challenges—research that is informed by the lived experiences of the communities studied and the interns themselves. This volume serves not only as a contribution to the current academic discourse but also as a reminder of the importance of engaging with rural India in a meaningful and informed way.
