In just two intensive days, Policyshaala takes college students from theory to practice: framing real policy problems, analysing evidence, and writing recommendations that decision-makers can actually act on. Led by CPPR’s own researchers and practitioners – people who’ve written the briefs and sat in the consultations – the programme covers the full arc of policymaking, from foundations and research design to analysis and communication.

For the sharpest students, the journey doesn’t end at the workshop. A select few are mentored into writing original research, published in a CPPR policy compendium – with the strongest recommendations sent straight to the policymakers who can use them.

Built on CPPR’s two decades of public policy work, Policyshaala gives students what most degrees can’t: a real seat at the policy table.
