Committed to Inclusive Growth and Policy Innovation
AIPPDS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting inclusive development through research, education, and policy engagement. We bring together scholars, practitioners, and community voices to shape public policy, build human capital, and drive equitable social change. Our work exists to empower people with knowledge and tools to influence the policies that affect their lives.
Since its inception in 2015, AIPPDS has grown into a respected hub for public policy research and inclusive development education. With successful collaborations across India, Japan, Canada, and Sweden, we have organized international conferences, supported cross-disciplinary research projects, and launched academic initiatives that directly engage with marginalized communities. Our programs and policy models have helped students, researchers, and civil society leaders develop deeper insights and take meaningful action toward social equity and economic empowerment.
