Center for Public Policy (CPP)
At GIM, we acknowledge that as the largest democracy in the world, India faces a unique challenge when it comes to policy research and formulation as it needs to satisfy a diverse populace.
The government, at the helm of a socialist, progressive nation, aims to secure justice, liberty, equality to all citizens, needs to ensure, at all times, that basic public amenities and facilities are in order. Public policy also includes a keen understanding of business activity and the formulation of laws that enable trade across the nation.
These dimensions form an integral part of organization management, hence, at the Center for Public Policy, we aim to provide students an opportunity to peel the covers and understand more about public policy formulation in India and how it affects the lives of over a billion people.
The Center for Public Policy at Goa Institute of Management endeavors to take policy matters beyond the classroom and engage in policy development projects involving public and private organizations as well.
