The Centre has the objective of generating and leading intellectual capital, and experience to inform public policy formulation and governance in India and emerging economies. The Centre aims to generate awareness among the student community by providing a platform to discuss and analyze public policies. It will serve as a platform for academics from all over the country and beyond, policymakers, and others interested in public policy and governance to interact, and dialogue. Its philosophy is predicated on the belief that effective public policy is always deeply contextualized. Having functional organizations, and managerial and design capability within government and parastatals as much as the content of public policy is important for success.
