Policy Studies is a relatively nascent discipline in India. Given the increasing complexities of the economy, international relations, technology, and governance, it is imperative that this discipline takes firm roots in our polity and society. Realising the important role of the academic community to play in this regard, the Centre was set up in 2016 to provide a fillip to the study of Public Policy, and in setting up this Centre, we hope to make insightful and actionable contributions to the field of Policy Studies.
