Centre for Budget and Policy Studies (CBPS) is delighted to announce Neeti Habba, our two-day Policy Festival on 22 & 23 November 2024 (Friday and Saturday) at the Infosys Science Foundation in Bengaluru. The central theme of Neeti Habba is What is ‘Public’ in Public Policy?
Drawing from our work, the festival serves as a way to understand and engage with the multiple meanings of the ‘public’ in policy making. As the focus is on the foundational ideas of public policy, joining us as our keynote speaker is Smt.
