How policy labs change the game

"A succinct definition of a policy lab is a hub to learn, meet and understand the nuances of policy-making processes. Policy labs can play a crucial role in meeting the demands of attaining the SDGs by being a soundboard to discuss key issues and develop Policy Briefs for understanding and dissemination" an article I wrote with my colleague, Dr. Harini was published in the Deccan Herald.

What Lessons does the Government of Karnataka Learn from the Economic Policy?

 A general understanding of Economic Policy includes strategies, values and programmes adopted by a government. It helps in standardising the economy of a State/country to include growth, stability, equity and sustainability. It also involves outcomes on production, distribution and consumption of goods and services which affects individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. In short, an Economic Policy includes fiscal, monetary, trade and development policies which provides critical lessons for a government.

Is it policymakers or policy decisions?

 "Policy decisions are the outcomes or specific actions taken as part of the policy-making process. They are choices which have been formalised and address specific challenges to help achieve said objectives. On the other hand, Policymakers are people or an individual whose prime task is to understand a challenge/issue, take decisions, formulate and implement policies" I write in an article in Meghalaya Monitor.
