Hello,
I'm sorry for not including this in the original post. Here is a brief introduction to T. Vishnu Vardhan:
Starting in February 2013, T. Vishnu Vardhan will be Programme Director of CIS's Access to Knowledge programme at the New Delhi office. Prior to this position, he was the Senior Development Officer for the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT), a position that he has help since 2007. His experience spans across academics, industry (media) and the not-for-profit sector. Over the last 11 years, he has worked in various capacities as a researcher, grant manager, teacher, project consultant, information architect and translator. Prior to joining CIS, Vishnu managed the Art, Crafts and Culture portfolio of the SRTT, where he spent 5 years performing project conceptualization, management and assessment of quality and impact in the not-for-profit sector.
Vishnu managed more than 30 projects and funds to the tune of Rs. 160 million. He also anchored SRTT’s automation and knowledge management activities. Vishnu worked as a Research Coordinator at Centre for the Study of Culture and Society (CSCS) in Bangalore where he coordinated the online M.A. in Cultural Studies, managed the Library Fellowship programme, conceptualized and coordinated national and international workshops and short-term courses in Media and Cultural Studies, and helped in building academic institutional partnerships.
Vishnu is a superannuated doctoral candidate at the Centre for Media Research, University of Ulster and CSCS, Bangalore.
Cheers,
