Policy Research

Fosters both basic and applied research involving research relying on secondary sources of data and when need arises research for primary data leading to a strong in-house research capacity. Research would focus more on important areas where there is considerable absence of a debate among the public fora and to raise those issues to the top of the public debate. This research ranges from short-term research projects involving a sole researcher to larger, multiyear cooperative endeavors involving numerous researchers. Research is undertaken mainly at the institute’s premises, but often includes sponsoring research in the field
