| Answer: Anthropologists have multiple career options. Various government research institutes are there which employ anthropologists most importantly the Anthropological Survey of India. There are other important institutions that have to deal with technical aspects of human evolution and therefore require the service of anthropologists like Planning Commission and Commission for Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes Commission, Minority Commission and Commission on Schedule Tribes.
International agencies like WHO, UNESCO and UNICEF also recruits number of anthropologists to conduct research activities. Other areas of employment include human resource departments of corporate houses and industries. Anthropologists are also employed in museums, art galleries, libraries and archives. They also can be employed as archaeologists, curators, linguists and social workers in media houses, publishing houses. Anthropologists also find employment in forensic science departments and criminal investigation departments. If you are interested in teaching may find several collages and universities offering Anthropology as a subject.
