UNIVERSITY A world class university in the making

DEAN’S MESSAGE

Professor R. Sudarshan M.A. (DSE., Delhi), M.Phil.(Oxford) Professor & Dean and Executive Director, Centre for Ethics, Law and Political Economy

Public policy at the Jindal School of Government

and Public Policy is taught as a practice, which will

enable its practitioners to find creative channels for

public deliberation and evidence-based means for

making decisions in the public interest. The ability

to do this is the need of the hour because

increasingly elected representatives are unable to

fully reflect and adequately safeguard the interests

At JSGP public

policy is primarily

focused on people,

recognizing that

technical expertise is

meant to serve the

inserts of people, and

policy decisions

should be made after

due deliberation, with

ample opportunities

of ordinary people.

At JSGP public policy is primarily focused on

people, recognizing that technical expertise is

meant to serve the interests of people, andpolicy

decisions should be made after due deliberation,

with ample opportunities afforded to ordinary

people to shape those policy decisions. WHY STUDY MA PUBLIC POLICY A stepping stone to an exciting career in public life afforded to ordinary

people to shape those

policy decisions.

JSGP public policy professionals are trained to

acquire expertise in different technical disciplines.

Acquiring and being able to apply the knowledge

gleaned from an array of social science disciplines,

as opposed to specialization in only economics,

history, sociology or political science is the

hallmark of public policy practitioners.

The government plays a significant role in ensuring human security and

human development, promoting the common good and upholding the

public interest. The MA Public Policy (MPP) opens doors to the exciting

world of public life. In a challenging and increasingly complex policy

environment, students can learn to solve practical problems and find

solutions conductive to the public good.

JGU is a research intensive University. It has established several research

centres in all its Schools. Each faculty member is affiliated to a research

centre. The University has over 200 full time faculty members and nearly

3500 students. The University has extensive academic networks. It has

collaborative projects with reputed universities, including Oxford,

Cambridge, Cornell, Harvard, Michigan, Indiana and Yale.

Most importantly, JSGP graduates will have the

wherewithal to ensure that the substance of public

p o l i c i e s , a s w e l l a s p r o c e s s e s o f t h e i r

implementation, are both in compliance with

ethical norms sustaining the public interest, fully

cognizant of people’s freedoms and dignity.

“ CORE COURSES CAPSTONE PROJECT INITIATIVE

The capstone is an innovation in the curriculum of M A Public Policy programme at JSGP. The allocation of Capstone Project is scheduled in fourth semester (last semester) for a duration of four to six months (subjected to the requirement of the project). The student is expected to work in an organization/ professionally managed institution under the guidance that assigns specific work to him/her, and in which he/she draws on the knowledge gained in the course to present the organization with a solution. The organization evaluates the work and grades the student. This is the ‘capstone’ of the learning process.

JSGP has to build links with various organizations to facilitate our students to undertake the challenge of a capstone. Capstone project was initiated in 2016 and students took projects in following institutions : -
