To mark this Republic Day, we conducted our first two-day certificate course in Law and Public Policy from 26-27 January in New Delhi. With 40 young learners, the course explored the various ways in which the Indian constitution continues to be the fundamental determinant of government policy and its implications on our policy successes and failures.
The course offered dedicated sessions exploring policy implications of the rule of law, the right to property as delineated in the Indian Constitution, the right to business, trade and profession and constitutional change and the pursuit of public interest. Our session facilitators included policy experts, practitioners and analysts including Prashant Narang, Advocate, Supreme Court of India; Bhuvana Anand, Governance and Public Policy Specialist; and Barun Mitra, Founder, Liberty Institute, among others.
We also conducted the ipolicy, our flagship introductory certificate course in public policy in partnership with four leading institutes of higher education: Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (Mumbai); Symbiosis School of Economics, Pune and Madras School Of Social Work (MSSW), Chennai. 119 young leaders graduated from our courses.
