In a rapidly evolving, complex world, public policy must become an instrument not only of administration, but of aspiration and innovation. Public policy is indeed the compass that channels national ambitions into action. As India approaches its centenary of independence, public policy has assumed a central role in shaping the nation’s developmental trajectory. The Jindal School of Government and Public Policy (JSGP) pioneered public policy education in India when the field was still emerging in academia, establishing public policy as both a rigorous academic discipline and a driver of social impact. The concluding remarks were delivered by Professor (Dr) Namesh Killemsetty, Jindal School of Government and Public Policy.
