Vishal Narain is an Indian, inter-disciplinary water researcher.[1] His work cuts across the frontiers of the natural and social sciences, with a specific interest in institutions, governance and policy. He is currently a Professor in the school of Public Policy and Governance at the Management Development Institute, Gurgaon.

Early life and education

{{BLP unsourced section|date=April 2018}}

He started his schooling in New York City, United States and went on to study at Manav Sthali School in Delhi. He followed this up with a graduation in Economics at Sri Ram College of Commerce, University of Delhi and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Rural Management at IRMA, Institute of Rural Management, Anand, Gujarat. He earned a PhD from Wageningen University and Research Centre, Netherlands.

Research work

His teaching and academic interests are in the inter-disciplinary analyses of public policy processes and institutions, water governance, gender, rights and equity analyses in water management, peri-urban issues and vulnerability and adaptation to environmental change. In particular he is interested in the relationship between technologies and institutions in water management, and how they are impacted by each other. He explores these issues using qualitative research tools with a strong reliance on ethnography.

Lately he has been working extensively on peri-urban issues, especially in the context of vulnerability and adaptation to environmental change and water insecurity. His research on these dynamics has been published in peer-reviewed journals like Geoforum, Land Use Policy, Environment and Urbanization, Water Policy and Water International. He has co-edited several books such as “Water Security in periurban South Asia: adapting to climate change and urbanization (Oxford University Press, 2016), “Indian Water Policy at the cross-roads: resources, technology and reforms (Springer, 2016)” and “Globalization of water governance in South Asia (Routledge: Taylor and Francis, 2014).”

Personal life

Vishal comes from an academic family background. His mother taught Economics in the University of Delhi for 41 years and his father served the Indian Airlines in various capacities throughout his career, retiring as a Director at the Headquarters in New Delhi. Vishal has a nine year-old son, Gautam. His wife, Shilpa, is a home-maker. Vishal is fond of music, bird-watching and cooking. He is also a philatelist and often spends time with his collection.

Professional career

Prior to joining MDI, he was Assistant Professor, Department of Policy Studies at TERI University. In his early career, he served TERI, The Energy and Resources Institute, New Delhi as a Research Associate and Fellow in their Policy Analysis Division.

He was a lead author for the chapter on human vulnerability to environmental change for GEO (Global Environment Outlook)- 4, the flagship publication of UNEP, the United Nations Environment Programme. He has completed consultancy assignments for a wide variety of international organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Bangkok, The International Water Management Institute, IWMI, Colombo, The STEPS Center, University of Sussex, UK, The Asia Foundation, New Delhi and SaciWATERs, the South Asian Consortium for Inter-disciplinary Water Resources Studies, Secunderabad, India.

Narain has been engaged in developing curricula and delivering MDPs (Management Development Programmes) around water and gender equity. He has conducted short training programmes around public policy analysis and inter-disciplinary water resources research for such organisations as TERI University, New Delhi, GALVMed, Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicine, Edinburgh and SaciWATERs, the South Asian Consortium for Inter-Disciplinary Water Resources Studies, Secunderabad, India.
