Ever since its establishment in 2011 Indian Institute of Management Kashipur, has tried to surpass the ordinary academic standards and establish units that act as a platform to serve as a bridge between policymakers, government agencies, civil society, industry and academia by supporting scholarly research, public policy and administration training programs, and other capacity-building activities at the intersection of government and society. The centre addresses some of the most important public policy and governance issues. The faculty body here is a rich amalgam of experience and knowledge. In addition to teaching, they are also involved in ongoing research projects, which provide new perspectives and understanding of the present-day business milieu and socio-economical contemporaneity.
The Centre of Excellence on Public Policy and Government (COEPPG) is set up by the institute as a platform to serve as a bridge between policymakers, government agencies, civil society, industry and academia by supporting scholarly research, public policy and administration training programs, and other capacity building activities at the intersection of government and society addressing some of the most important public policy and governance issues. It combines educational programs with current research, training and advisory services based on thematic public policy analyses.
