As the disruption brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic deepened in 2021, we doubled down on our efforts towards Responsive Governance or the creation of a public system that is responsive to citizen’s needs. For this, we studied India’s post-pandemic welfare structures, brought these insights to decision-takers and the public, and reworked the way we taught the next generation of development leaders so that they remain in touch with ground realities.

How can ideas shape policy and what has been the role of policy research through the last few decades? How can effective engagement with ideas lead to sound policy implementation? How can a robust and rigorous policy ecosystem be created to ensure that ideas are debated, discussed and critiqued? On its 48th anniversary, the Centre for Policy Research brought together scholars from across generations. They grappled with these questions and shed light on the role of think tanks and ideas in public policy.
