Centre For Regulatory Studies, Governance And Public Policy, Wbnujs

The Centre for Regulatory Studies, Governance and Public Policy (CRSGPP) at the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (WBNUJS), Kolkata was created in July 2015 with the vision of becoming a Centre of Excellence in the field of law, public policy and governance. Since its inception, CRSGPP has been thriving under the aegis of the Government of West Bengal and as an initiative of the Department of Higher Education (University Branch) to promote interdisciplinary research to explore, build and advance critical perspectives on the role of the state, para-statal organisations and civil society in designing regulatory institutions and in evaluating policies for reducing pervasive socio-economic deprivation and entrenched vulnerabilities of Scheduled Castes , Scheduled Tribes, women and minorities. The Centre encourages original interdisciplinary research on the dynamics of law and society, indulges in public debates and academic discussions in social sciences and law and intends to assist law and policy makers in the preparation and critical evaluation of legislation and policies pertaining to communities and groups, including the socially excluded ones.
