Shalini Singh

shalini@ruralindiaonline.org

I’m a Delhi-based journalist since 2006. I'm a co-founder at the People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI), a multimedia repository. My most impactful work has been on environment issues: investigation into illegal mining in Goa and livelihood rights in rural Odisha. These won all the top Indian journalism awards including the first Cushrow Irani Prize, the Prem Bhatia Memorial Award, and the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism during 2011-13. I’ve also written extensively about gender, culture, and society during a decade at the Hindustan Times newspaper and The Week magazine. I was selected to spend 2017-18 as a Nieman fellow at Harvard University. My 2019 work, documenting climate change in Delhi through the lives of its remaining farmers and fishermen, was shortlisted for the international Fetisov Journalism Awards 2020 while winning the Ramnath Goenka team award for 2019. I was invited as UN accredited media to COP27 held in Egypt in 2022. My stint as a fellow at IndiaSpend was for the series, Women @ Work, from December 2020 to June 2021. My set of four stories, about women's employment and entrepreneurship in India's informal and formal sectors, was in the 2021 shortlist of the Fetisov Journalism Awards. I was awarded the Ricardo Ortega Memorial Prize (silver) from the United Nations Correspondents Association for my work on climate change in NYC / December 2023.
