Babita comes from a background with a high interest in social services and helping those in need. She had the unique opportunity of volunteering and participating in rural development projects at a very young age when she worked along-side her father on several projects aimed at helping villages to become self-sufficient. ‘If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day; If you teach him to fish, he can eat for a lifetime’…this adage became the motto and guiding light for her endeavors towards a more equitable social system, and is the motivation behind the creation of the STEP Foundation. The primary goal of the Step foundation is to revive and revitalize local economies and to bring jobs to the people, instead of moving people to where the jobs appear to be. This creates a secure socioeconomic support system especially in unpredictable situations such as loss of job and health, or economic hardships.

Babita has a PhD in Economics and before joining IIT Roorkee as Professor, she did research in the field of demographics at the Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi. Having been exposed to some of the harsh realities of infant mortality, child malnutrition, and gender bias, these issues have become the driving force behind her endeavors. As a part of their outreach program, Babita was one of the Faculty Advisors for a Students Initiative for Integrated Rural Development conducted by IIT Roorkee, in some villages around the Institute. The initiative was aimed at generating innovative ideas and programs in education, agriculture and irrigation etc. for the village, while at the same time creating a group of motivated individuals in the villages to create a self-sustaining eco-system. As a part of the Intellectual Property Outreach Program, she was also a part of an effort to identify, protect and enable commercialization of innovations made by villagers and artisans at the grass-root level.

Being an educator, she believes in power of education which can bring people together on a common platform and bridge the divides in society to create a better world. “Together we seek to create a just world”.
