National Law University, Orissa has established the Centre for Public Policy and Governance with the intent of providing a multidisciplinary platform for policy discourse. We hope to bring researchers, practitioners, and interested members of our community together in order to contribute meaningfully to policy debates on development, resettlement, insurrection, parochialism and other such burning issues. We intend to offer programmes that focus on equipping our students with tools for the analysis and development of public policy not only through a theoretical classroom education, but also through a more hands on approach where we will facilitate their interning with governmental, non-governmental and civil society organisations working in the area of public policy. The centre will also cultivate the tradition of providing cutting-edge research into issues of capacity, sustainability and accountability of governments.
Director of the Centre: Dr. Afroz Alam
