Jindal
 School
 of
 Government
 and
 Public
 Policy
(JSGP),
one
of
the
twelve
schools
in
the
 University,
 engages
with
the
 contemporary
 policy
 environment,
 which
 demands
 new
 imaginations, methodologies,
and
revitalized
 ethics.
 Through
 national
 and
 international
collaborations, 
JSGP promotes interdisciplinary
 studies,
 teaching
 and
 research
programmes,
and
strives
to
develop
 a
 comparative
 perspective
 on
 local
 and
 global
policy
issues. JSGP
 offers
 students
 a
 well‑rounded
 education
and
exposes
them
to
the
field
in
 both
 rural
 and
 urban
 contexts
 and
 the
 institutional
 mechanisms
 of
 governance.
 JSGP
 regularly
 invites
 academicians,
 activists,
 senior
 officials,
 politicians,
 NGO‑ workers,
 policymakers
 from
 the
 United
 Nations
 (UN)
 and
 other
 international
 organizations
to
deliver
lectures
and
interact
 with
students
and
faculty
members.

The
Jindal
School
of
Government
and
Public
Policy
(JSGP)
has
pioneered
public
 policy
and
economics
education
since
2012.
 Until
 recently,
 public
 policy
 education
 was
 the
 preserve
 of
 people
 serving
 governments
 at
 the
 senior
 policymaking
 level.
 However,
 just
 as
 war
 is
 too
 important
to
be
left
only
to
generals,
public
policy
is
too
important
to
be
left
only
 to
officials
serving
governments
and
their
political
masters.
 People
from
all
walks
of
life
should
be
more
knowledgeable
about
public
policy,
 especially
 students
 who
 aspire
 to
 improve
 the
 world.
 Many
 students
 (undergraduates
and
professionals)
in
India
and
other
developing
countries
wish
to
study
public
policy.
Public
policy
education
is
an
idea
whose
time
has
come.
 JSGP's
undergraduate,
postgraduate
 and
doctoral
programmes
 are
genuinely
 interdisciplinary,
drawing
insights
from
multiple
disciplines,
especially
economics.


JSGP
students
can
opt
to
join
the
public
policy
or
the
economics
stream
of
studies.
 Common
to
all
JSGP
students
is
their
desire
to
make
a
difference
in
the
world,
a
 passion
for
problem‑solving,
and
a
keen
interest
in
the
political
process.
JSGP
 students
 want
 to
 be
 the
 change‑makers
 in
 society,
 the
 ones
 who
 help
 craft
 solutions
to
 such
problems
as
poverty,
inequality,
unemployment,
 sustainable
 development,
and
climate
change.
 The
 opportunities
 for
 JSGP
 students
 to
 show
 leadership
 and
 deploy
 their
 knowledge
and
 skills
 in
rewarding
 careers
are
 steadily
growing.
For
example,
 students
from
JSGP
public
policy
and
economics
streams
are
well‑equipped
to
 join
governments
(through
the
civil
service
selection
process
or
lateral
entry).
In
 addition,
many
top
 corporations
have
established
public
policy
positions
that
 JSGP
students
can
best
fill,
having
an
interdisciplinary
education,
compared
to
 others
specialised
in
single
disciplines.
Corporate
social
responsibility
(CSR)
ventures
afford
JSGP
students
rewarding
 employment
to
 increase
the
 supply
 of
 public
 goods
 and
merit
 goods.
 NGOs
 working
 in
partnership
with
governments
 and
 civil
 society
organisations
that
 advocate
policies
to
serve
the
public
interest
can
provide
meaningful
careers
to
 our
students.
International
 institutions,
 including
 the
 United
 Nations
 and
 philanthropic
 foundations,
committed
to
realising
the
Sustainable
Development
Goals,
will
seek
out
students
educated
at
JSGP.
And
for
those
students
who
have
an
aptitude
for
 research
and
teaching,
a
growing
number
of
think
tanks
and
universities
 can
provide
meaningful
employment.

JSGP
 students
 manage
 many
 clubs
 and
 engage
 in
 fun‑filled
 extra‑curricular
 activities,
including
the
JSGP
Tedx,
Policy
Club,
Arthaniti
and
Youthopia. JSGP
is
research‑oriented
and
has
faculty
with
impeccable
qualifications
from
 first‑rate
universities
worldwide JSGP's
research
centres
work
in
innovative
areas
 such
 as
 complexity
 economics,
 applied
 spirituality,
measuring
the
 efficacy
 of
 public
 policies
 and
 improving
 justice
 delivery.
 In
 addition,
 the
 Policy
 Action
 Laboratory
specialises
in
field‑based
research
and
learning.
 JSGP
students
can
work
with
faculty
on
research
projects
and
assist
in
teaching,
 earning
 significant
 stipends
 to
 complement
 scholarship
 tuition
 waivers
 and
 support
their
education.
In
addition,
they
can
count
on
exciting
internships
during
 inter‑semester
 breaks
 that
 provide
 experiential
 learning.
 Finally,
 some
 postgraduate
students
who
take
up
capstone
projects
in
their
final
year
can
expect
 to
continue
working
in
their
client
institutions
after
graduation. JSGP
was
 instrumental
 in
 legally
registering
the
 Association
for
Public
Policy
 Education
(APPE)
to
provide
a
platform
for
everyone
in
India
and
abroad
to
share
 their
experience
with
innovations
in
public
policy
pedagogy.
Furthermore,
JSGP
is
 committed
to
refining
the
teaching
of
Economics,
creatively
combining
orthodox
 and
heterodox
approaches.
