BK School of Research (BKSR), established in 2015, is a research institution dedicated to generating evidence-based knowledge, shaping policy, and driving lasting social impact. Our multidisciplinary work spans Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Business and Economics, and Public Health, bringing together 15 research fellows, 55 research scholars, and 300 enumerators across 26 countries.
We are committed to nurturing the next generation of researchers. Through training, mentorship, and innovation programs, we have empowered over 15,000 young individuals, many now pursuing global careers in research and development.
Our findings have shaped policy conversations, informed institutions like WHO and UNICEF, and reached communities through publications and partnerships, reflecting who we are: a bridge between evidence and impact.
