Research Area: Ishita Saha is an Assistant Professor (Management Post) in the department of Geography of this College. Her M.Phil Dissertation topic is Gender Disparity in Sikkim. The report examines four over all areas of inequality between men & women like economic participation and opportunity, Educational attainment, Political empowerment and Health & survival. In India, Sikkim is situated in the north-eastern region which also includes Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura is considered as a backward region due to several reasons. Although several studies have been undertaken on gender and also on gender disparity but no such research work has been done on east and south districts of Sikkim. Therefore further research work will be needed especially in east and south districts of Sikkim. But not only Sikkim, this research topic will be also applicable for districts of North Dinajpur and South Dinajpur. Her PhD. Level research work contains Labour Force Participation in Siliguri Municipal Corporation.
