The Centre for Budget and Policy Studies, Bangalore completed its 25th year in February 2023. To mark this occasion, we hosted a two-day conference which focussed on the central role and relationship between institutions and public policy. There was an opening plenary session and a closing plenary session where eminent speakers deliberated on a host of related issues.
The objective of the conference was to explore the relationship between institutions and public policy, especially in relation to the following themes: Independent institutions and policy discourse, Public space and gender violence, Education as a public good, Public expenditure, fiscal policy, processes and structure of public finance, Urban and rural governance, decentralization, and democratic processes, Nutrition, healthcare, and public health, Livelihoods, income security, poverty, and migration.
This year marks the beginning of our one-year CBPS Research Fellowship where we have identified five budding researchers for mentoring. The Fellowship will help scholars to develop research skills in the areas of Education, Gender, Governance, Health & Nutrition, Public finance, Livelihoods and Social Security.
