Are you curious, innovative and a person with social drive determined to change the society for the better?? Then CPPR will provide you with the perfect platform to launch yourself. We are the Centre for Public Policy Research, a think tank focusing on public policy research. We have been working with the government at all levels and also with various corporate entities for the last six years. We stand for the people and have always been supportive of any policy that is meant for the overall betterment of all. In doing so, we have gone that extra mile to ensure transparency and credibility. Therefore, today most of our clients come back to us over and over again.
At CPPR, Saturdays are set apart for learning. We generally conduct discussions and presentations on major policy related aspects. The conclusions from these deliberations are condensed into a comprehensive document which then is sent to the concerned ministry.
As part of our efforts to reach out to likeminded people, we are now planning to open our ‘Super Saturdays’ to all. Interested?? If yes, then wait no further! Join us on Saturdays in our office. We offer you a platform to express your views and be heard.
• Each presentation will be peer reviewed by an expert panel to ensure quality
• Get a chance to publish your work in leading newspapers
• On completing three successful presentations, you will be awarded a certificate of merit from CPPR
Those who are interested, send in your concept notes on or before every Thursday, if selected we will get back to you.

URBAN GOVERNANCE
Urban Research
This wing dwells into the importance for urban research as more than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. Over 90 percent of urban growth is taking place in the developing world. Over 1 billion people live in slums worldwide. Aproximately 360 million people live in the low elevation coastal zone in urban areas.These increasing issues relating to traffic, transport and infrastructural set up in urban areas has led to a paradigm shift in the way we move forward. Urbanization is now considered a key element in promoting economic growth, if well managed. CPPR has taken up this initiative with the focus to help the corporation to find solutions to the urban problems in Kochi, recommend policy changes and to make sure that the policies are implemented on time.
