He would join the institute for two years for a research project on  pro-poor governance in India.  With an academic bent of mind, Srivastava had earlier done  some prestigious research work at Cambridge  university and London School of Economics.  Srivastava was also selected as a SPURS fellow at MIT, USA  in 2002 where he worked with Judith Tendler, a renowned authority on  governance. “Since my core interest was always in understanding  the intricate nuances of governability at the  lowest level of the society,  this would  be a great opportunity to understand the pro poor governance particularly in  the Hindi heartland of India”said  Srivastava.
