She has conducted research and presented papers in several universities, Harvard and Oxford amongst them. Her doctoral thesis was on the plight of the Sindhis in the post-partition period. Her book, published in 1996, is titled ‘National Integration of Sindhis’. Dr. Anand brings to Save The Children India her excellent administrative experience and skills, along with her compassion to work for the development of India’s underprivileged women and children.
