Nayaneethi Policy Collective is a Think-do tankAn organisation that does both the thinking and the doing. Like a think tank, it researches problems and develops policy ideas. It then works with governments, organisations and communities to put those ideas into practice, and learns from what happens on the ground. turning public policy evidence into action, for a free and prosperous India.
We imagine a free and prosperous future where every citizen can shape their own life. We believe society is best placed to solve most of its problems. With this vision in mind, strengthening civil society organisations through research, evaluation and consultancy support is at the heart of our work. We also work to build the skills of youth and help communities demand better public policy.
What we do
We work with governments, civil society organisations, young people and policymakers to research problems, evaluate what works, build capacity, run programmes on the ground, and advocate for reform.
