Centre for Policy Studies at HIPA will examine in depth the government policy frameworks and policies, with the objective to provide research-based recommendations for enhancing their effective implementation in the state. This is a critical area as any Policy is as good as its impact on the ground, at the last mile for the welfare of the citizens of the state. The gap between “Thinking” and “Action” will be addressed by design at the Centre of Policy Studies. The key areas of focus will be e-Governance, Health, Education, Infrastructure and Gender Issues.
