Establishment of Chair Professors<br />

The University has established a Centre for Public Policy headed by a NTPC<br />

supported Chair Professor. The Centre aims to promote and nurture research<br />

and make serious efforts in the domain of public policy, with special reference<br />

to the mountainous regions like Uttarakhand. With this focus it reaches out to<br />

establish an on-going dialogue with all researchers working in different<br />

Universities, Colleges and Institutions in Uttarakhand.<br />

The Centre for Public Policy has hitherto been active in preparatory actions<br />

related to the Draft Action Plan for Climate Change for the State of<br />

Uttarakhand as well as providing a platform for the creation and contribution<br />

of Integrated Mountain Initiative (IMI), a consortium of mountain/Himalayan<br />

states in India. The role played by the Centre, the SENR and the Department<br />

of Economics now forms an important part of the process followed in<br />

Uttarakhand in continuously improving the content of the State Action Plan on<br />

Climate Change.<br />

With a view to promote research in identified interdisciplinary areas and<br />

associated related issues the Centre has formulated a policy to offer research<br />

scholarship, fellowship/assistantship to the Masters, Ph.D. students and<br />

eminent scholars.<br />
