Evidence-based articles on public policy in India, focused on policy design, governance, and reform debates. These articles analyse policy choices, question prevailing assumptions, and propose alternative frameworks grounded in economics, law, and institutional analysis. The focus is on explaining why a policy works, where it fails, and what can be done differently, linking specific issues to broader debates on state capacity, development, and reform.
