From the HoD’s Desk
It gives me immense pleasure to introduce the B.A. (Honours) in Public Policy program, established in the academic year 2021–22. This pioneering undergraduate curriculum is the first of its kind in India, uniquely structured to encompass core public policy education alongside preparation for competitive examinations such as UPSC, StatePSEs ,NDA and others. .
Our curriculum also integrates National Cadet Corps (NCC) training as a core component, first of its kind in India. I am proud to share that one of our students has earned the Best NCC Cadet Award, underscoring our commitment to leadership and discipline.
We take pride in our exceptional faculty, drawn from both academia and industry, who bring deep domain expertise and practical insights into the classroom. Their guidance has enabled our alumni to pursue master’s programs in public policy abroad—with two students currently in France and one in Singapore.
The program offers rich experiential learning opportunities: archaeological site visits, village-based practicum, and mock policymaking exercises. These activities are designed to bridge theory and practice, fostering critical thinking and on-ground policy exposure.
We are pleased to launch capstone projects starting this academic year. This addition empowers students to undertake independent, supervised research and apply their learning to real-world policy challenges.
I invite you to explore this dynamic and forward-thinking program, which aims to cultivate skilled policy professionals equipped for both national and global engagement.
