His role spans over more than 130 Area Programs and projects spread across India.
Program Design
Prottoy has participated in cross-discipline teams in designing technical programs for World Vision India. The four major technical programs that he has worked on are Health & Child Nutrition, Quality Education, Child Protection and Community Resilience.

His specific role in these teams have been to ensure selection of feasible indicators and recommend methodologies and tools for measuring them.
Baseline Measurements
Over the last two years, Prottoy has led the baseline process for multi-project programs in at least 31 program locations in India.
