Founder and CEO, Impulse Social Network)

Hasina Kharbhih created the nationally and internationally acknowledged Impulse Model (former Meghalaya Model), a comprehensive tracking system that successfully brings together the state government, security agencies, legal groups, media, and citizen organizations to combat the cross-border trafficking of children in the porous Northeastern states of India. She says shared leadership is the key to solve global level human trafficking.

In 2018 she launched Impulse Press Lab. that trains journalists in India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bangladesh to speed up and upgrade accuracy of the report. She has been involved in the social sector since 1987, when as a student at St. Joseph Convent School in Shillong she participated in the Leadership Training Services (LTS) program that encouraged the teens to volunteer weekend time for charity work. After graduating from the school, she and many LTS alumni continued to volunteer and also began critically documenting their experiences. Through these experiences, she and the other LTS alumni laid the groundwork for Impulse.
