Manimohan is currently interested to explore the impact of globalization on social mobility in Tamil Nadu. He would look at the relationship between state policy and the structural changes in the local economy, especially, focusing on mobility and social structure of a coastal village located in Thanjavur district in Tamil Nadu. Besides, he intends to research on blue economy and ocean grabbing, and also to write up some work in progress on this theme.
