I do not know a person doing research on JUGAAD. But I do certainly know the JUGAAD inventions and items working in my part of the world i.e. India. And I will certainly think over to motivate and guide a few scholars to explore this so immensely important indigenous innovations process, especially from the waste management, environmental, and economic perspectives.
Thank you for your reply and appreciating the question. Infact, Jugaad to me was also a strange topic, but since I started conducting my PhD research in the area of Innovation, it revealed me to be un explored zone. Although world is talking about Jugaad and we know from our origin (being from Pakistan) as how it is used in daily life, yet the topic needs to be explored.
I am looking forward to collaborate with researcher in this area.
Would Love to walk in Chandani Chowk, I have duly noted your advice.
At the moment I am collecting literature related to jugaad and environment where it is most common. I would highly appreciate if you can share relevant literature. Moreover, I am formulating my research question for the PhD, any advice would be beneficial for me.
