COMMUNIQUÉ

Welcome to the latest issue of Communique. The first quarter of the year marks new beginnings for the new year, and so it was for us at Bharti Institute. Taking our existing legislative research support initiative with the government of Meghalaya one notch further, we launched a new district research fellowship. Read on to learn about our latest initiative, key accomplishments, updates on existing initiatives, collaborations, events, and more.

New Initiative

Meghalaya District Research Fellowship

Adding a new leaf to our partnership with the government of Meghalaya, the Bharti Institute of Public Policy has launched the Meghalaya District Research Fellowship (MDRF) in collaboration with the Planning Investment Promotion and Sustainable Development Department (PIPSDD), Government of Meghalaya, as the knowledge and implementation partner. With this initiative, the Bharti Institute aims to bridge critical gaps in the planning, implementing, and monitoring of welfare programmes and policies at the district administration level.

To achieve this, 28 young professionals have been engaged as MDRF fellows, undergoing specialised training to assist District Magistrates (DMs) and collectors across 24 districts, enhancing transparency, efficiency, and accountability in governance. Bharti Institute will equip them with expertise in digital tools, qualitative and quantitative research, and data analysis, empowering them to drive meaningful public policy impact in Meghalaya.

As part of the induction programme, a weeklong series of workshops facilitated by Prof. Anjal Prakash, Clinical Associate Professor (Research) & Research Director; Saubhagya Samal, PMU Lead; Amrita Chakraborty, Project Lead; Smriti Sharma, Lead-Communications and Content; Padma Priya, Research Fellow; Jagriti Chhabra, Project Associate, Bharti Institute of Public Policy, was held in Shillong. During the weeklong sessions, the fellows gained insights on data collection, research methodologies, research writing, policy and analytical skills, effective writing and communication designed to support them in their roles.

Following the sessions, fellows also had the opportunity to interact outside the classrooms with senior functionaries of the government of Meghalaya, Bharti Institute’s team, and senior officials of the Meghalaya Institute of Governance (MIG) during a networking dinner.

Over two days, the workshop explored the interplay between emerging technologies and public policy, focusing on India’s digital transformation success story and its evolving AI regulatory landscape. The participants gained insights into how policy decisions influence technological adoption, governance, and global positioning.

The first day of the workshop examined how India successfully built Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) to address policy challenges in identity, payments, and data governance. The sessions covered India Stack innovations such as Aadhaar, UPI, and digital credit, highlighting their role in removing payment frictions and promoting financial inclusion. The discussion also focused on the technology policy choices that enabled rapid implementation and how India's DPI model is now being exported globally as a framework for financial inclusion and digital transformation. The second day explored Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, including Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and large language models, and their impact on public policy and governance.

A gala dinner was also organised for the cohort to enable them to interact and network with their peers outside the lecture theatres.

Policy Walk

As part of their curriculum, the participants of the Advanced Management Programme (Public Policy) cohort 2025 embarked on a three-day Policy Walk to gain firsthand experience in policy design and implementation in New Delhi. During the Policy Walk, the participants had the privilege to visit the National Defence College (NDC), India’s premier institution for strategic studies. Brigadier Rajesh Raman, Secretary, NDC, provided an insightful briefing to the cohort on the institution’s pivotal role in shaping India’s security leadership since its establishment in 1956 and formal inauguration by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1960. Adding to the depth of discussions, Air Marshal Hardeep Bains, Commandant, NDC, shared invaluable perspectives on contemporary national security challenges and the evolving role of defence institutions in shaping policy decisions.

The cohort attended an inspiring session with Dr Jyotsna Suri, Chairperson & Managing Director of The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group and Keshav Suri, Executive Director of The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, who shared their deeply personal and powerful journey for LGBTQ+ rights. Keshav Suri urged the participants, as future policy leaders, to take bold steps in eliminating discriminatory policies and advocated for equal rights, including marriage and legal recognition of partnerships.

In an engaging and thought-provoking session, Puneet Yadu Dalmia, CEO of Dalmia Bharat Group, inspired the Advanced Management Programme (Public Policy) cohort to dream big and envision India as the world's leading superpower. The session, followed by dinner, concluded with a mesmerising 'Light and Sound Show' at the Red Fort, presented by the Dalmia Group.

In an insightful session, Dammu Ravi, IFS, Secretary (ER), Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, delved into India’s trajectory in global economic trends, emphasising its potential to become a truly ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ in the future.

Dr Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, Hon’ble Minister of State for Rural Development & Communications, Government of India, in an impactful session, spoke candidly about his humble beginnings and shared how his journey—from medicine to public service—was guided by personal philosophies that continue to shape his leadership today. He emphasised that ambition alone is not enough— “Laziness kills ambition,” he articulated, reminding students that discipline and purpose must follow dreams.

During her interactive session, Smriti Irani, former Cabinet Minister, Government of India, indulged in a free-wheeling conversation with the cohort. From her journey as a TV artist to being a political leader, she shared her experience of the nuanced policymaking process. Smriti Irani shared insights into how effective policymaking is rooted in collaboration, underlining that it's a common misconception to think that power alone shapes policy. She said, 'It is the people who make policy; elected representatives give it a voice and form". The cohort appreciated her clarity of thought and innovative ideas behind initiatives like the New Education Policy and POSHAN, which continue to shape India’s development journey.

During his session, Devesh Chaturvedi, IAS, Secretary, Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India, reflected on the evolving landscape of policymaking in India, observing that policy frameworks often emerge in response to crises.

Marichi Mathur, Senior Vice President, Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), shared how India is revolutionising digital commerce with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC)—a transformative initiative under IndiaStack that champions openness, decentralisation, and interoperability in the digital economy.

Updates on State Government Engagements

Government of Andhra Pradesh

Under the Initiative on the Forest Economy (IoFE), the Andhra Pradesh Forest Department, in collaboration with IoFE, launched a digital training session in Rampachodavaram Forest Division, ASR District. Held at Vanavihari, Maredumilli, the training introduced Forest Beat Officers, Section Officers, and Range Officers to the nCount platform and ODK Collect application for forest boundary and resource inventory mapping. More than 60 officers participated in the hands-on sessions, field exercises, and real-time data collection, leading to the successful submission of over 300 mapping entries. Follow-up trainings were held in Indukuru, Addateegala, and Rajavommangi ranges, ensuring wide adoption of the nCount. The team also identified master trainers to support ongoing efforts. This step marks a pivotal move towards data-driven forest governance and improved resource management in Andhra Pradesh.

Government of Meghalaya

Meghalaya Legislative Research Support Fellowship: The MLRF cohort attended workshops during the first quarter. This included workshops conducted by Bharti Institute’s team in Shillong, including one on Questionnaire Preparation and Research Methods conducted by Padma Priya, Research Fellow, and another on writing and communications by Smriti Sharma, Lead-Communication & Content, Bharti Institute of Public Policy. Six MLRF fellows attended the Manuscript Writing Workshop, organised by the Indian Institute of Public Health (IIPH). The workshop's objective was to enhance knowledge of publishing guidelines for authors/writers. The workshop was led by Dr. Elena Naumova, a Professor at Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.

The Harvard Growth Lab conducted a two-day workshop at the Secretariat Wellness Centre. The workshop started with the team from the Harvard Growth Lab sharing the work of the Lab’s Research and Economic Growth pilots. The workshop started with the ‘Contextualisation of Economic Growth Pilots and Research Fellows Orientation’, followed by ‘Constituency Studies and Findings Presentation’ by MLRF Fellows, Cohort II. To brainstorm ideas, teams were divided based on four sectors— agriculture, tourism, data infrastructure and digital services.

A meeting was held to further the development of the Constituency Development Plan (CDP) with the respective legislators from various constituencies and ISB officials. Besides CDP, the fellows were engaged with the Budget Session of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly, wherein they were assigned to legislators and supported them in preparing supplementary questions for the Budget Session.
Field Visits: For the Constituency Development Plan of Mawsynram, the three-member team from MLRF focused on the tourism sector. Field visits were carried out throughout the first quarter to identify the gaps and challenges in the constituency. During the visits to the three locations — Mawlyngbna, Phlangmawsyrpad and Phlangwanbroi, the team collected data and conducted focus group discussions with the village executive committees, tour guides and homestay owners to understand the community perspective towards tourism. Some key takeaway practices were also identified to develop these further as model practices to boost tourism in other areas.

Shella and Ampati CDPs: The MLRF team members working on the development of CDP for the Shella constituency compiled and analysed the data collected during their fieldwork to produce a comprehensive report on the three key sectors: health, education and agro-based sectors. The final report was presented to Shella MLA Balajied Synrem. The MLRF team working for the CDP for Ampati conducted their first visit to the sites, held focus group discussions with women SHG, and commenced secondary research. The study aims to provide a sustainable and economical option for women of the constituency and improve menstrual health and hygiene. The focus areas of the study include female menstrual and reproductive health, besides declining school pass percentage rate.

Government of Himachal Pradesh

Under the Initiative on the Forest Economy, the first women-based forest Producer Company — Pir Panjal Jungle Producer Company Ltd (PPJPC), was registered in Pangi, Himachal Pradesh, under the Companies Act 2013. This milestone marks a significant step forward for Pangi Valley, one of the most remote and underdeveloped areas of Chamba District. To set up the PPJPC, women from across the valley were mobilised through village-level meetings to understand the concept and potential of a Jungle Producer Company. These efforts led to forming 19 producer groups across 17 villages and selecting executive members, leading to the foundation of PPJPC. The IoFE team facilitated this process as part of its broader vision to build a sustainable, inclusive, and community-led forest economy in India.

Government of Jharkhand

Under the Initiative on the Forest Economy (IoFE), the process of forming Community Forest Resource Management Committees (CFRMCs) across the Kolebira, Jaldega, and Bano blocks in the Simdega district commenced in a phased manner. This exercise aims to strengthen community-led forest governance through the reconstitution and capacity building of CFRMCs in line with the Ministry of Tribal Affairs’ guidelines.

In the first phase, panchayat-level mobilisation was conducted through meetings in selected villages, including seven under Kolebira, eight under Jaldega, and ten under Bano. These meetings introduced the CFRMC process and encouraged community participation. The second phase involved capacity-building training sessions, emphasising the legal frameworks, roles, and responsibilities of CFRMCs. The third and final phase was dedicated to committee finalisation. After this phase, committees establish well-defined leadership structures and are prepared to take on forest governance and conservation roles.

Government of Odisha

Bharti Institute of Public Policy strengthened its existing collaboration with the Department of Mission Shakti, Government of Odisha, to launch the ‘Green Shakti Producer Company Business Enterprise Leadership Cohort. This partnership will empower 30 women-led forest-based enterprises across six districts by August 2025. With a network of 300 women leaders, each producer company will onboard 1,000+ primary producers, benefiting 30,000+ women.

UPDATES ON EXISTING PROJECTS

Initiative on the Forest Economy (IoFE)

MoU Signed with Phoenix Foundation to Build a Women-Led Bamboo-Based Rural Economy in Maharashtra: Bharti Institute of Public Policy signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Phoenix Foundation Sanstha, a Latur-based civil society organisation working across Maharashtra to promote environmental sustainability and education. This strategic partnership aims to co-develop a women-led, community-centric bamboo-based economic model to foster rural livelihoods and sustainable forest-based enterprises across the state. Under the MoU, both institutions will work together on developing bamboo-based business models led by women and forest communities; supporting training, capacity building, and market linkages; facilitating Community Forest Rights (CFR) and sustainable forest management; conducting research, documentation, and pilot projects; coordinating with government and civil society stakeholders; and ensuring knowledge dissemination through joint publications and outreach.

First Collective Sale of Wild Hazelnuts by Pangi Valley’s PPJPC to Dry Fruitz Basket, Hyderabad: In a significant milestone, the Pir Panjal Jungle Producer Company (PPJPC) completed its first collective sale—163 kg of wild hazelnuts—to Dry Fruitz Basket, a premium store based in Hyderabad. This marks the first sale made through the newly formed PPJPC, a registered company collectively established by more than 19 Producer Groups from the remote Pangi Valley. From forest to retail shelves, this initiative reflects the transformative potential of community-driven enterprises in strengthening rural economies and promoting sustainable practices. To maintain premium quality standard, the women members of PPJPC were trained by the IoFE's team members in sorting, grading, weighing, and packaging the hazelnuts. Despite weather-related delays due to heavy snowfall, the packaging process was completed over ten days. The successful delivery through a formalised structure has led to a large follow-up order. The milestone is expected to encourage greater participation from women across untapped villages in Pangi, supported by the active of the Community Forest Rights Management Committee.

CFR Resource Kit Deliveries Progress in Kolhan Region: The second phase of CFR kit deliveries is currently underway across 746 villages in 19 blocks of East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum, and Seraikela Kharsawan districts in Jharkhand. In East Singhbhum, deliveries are nearly complete, while in West Singhbhum, local NGOs—Pradan, Kalamandir, and Support—along with two independent activists spearhead the process. All deliveries are coordinated through camps, panchayat meetings, and direct engagement with traditional village leaders, ensuring the process is participatory and locally driven.
Under the Initiative on the Forest Economy, gram sabha leaders from across the Bonda Ghati region convened at Mudlipada village for a significant training session focused on forming Community Forest Resource Management Committees (CFRMCs). The upper Bonda Samaj organised this pivotal gathering to support the Bonda community in exercising their rights and responsibilities in forest governance under the Habitat Rights framework. Leaders from all 29 villages in the region participated actively, sharing a common vision to establish CFRMCs in each village and then collectively form a federated CFRMC for the entire Bonda Ghati landscape. This federation will regulate and manage forest resources at a landscape level, ensuring that local traditions, conservation values, and community priorities are respected and upheld.
