Research Focus

Education is the bedrock of equitable growth. The Centre evaluates pedagogical shifts, higher education governance, digital learning inequalities, and the alignment of educational outcomes with the future of work and global economic demands.

Higher education governance: the structural and regulatory architecture of universities, autonomy, accreditation, funding models, and the changing role of the public university.

NEP implementation: tracking the National Education Policy across states, identifying friction points, and proposing calibrated interventions.

Digital learning: EdTech, the political economy of online learning platforms, and the deepening inequalities of digital access in classrooms.

Skills and the future of work: what economies need when AI changes the labour market faster than curricula can adapt.

Research and innovation: the role of universities in national research ecosystems, the politics of citation, and the reform of doctoral education.
