P3E Hands-On-Projects

About Hands-On-Projects (HOPs)

Make your mark in the world of public policy even before you graduate from P3E! Work on challenging real-world policy problems under the guidance of seasoned mentors and gain the perspective of a policymaker.

Equipped with the conceptual frameworks imbibed during P3E, you will work over a 12-week period with your mentor, typically a member of the All India or Central Services, to design a viable solution that can actually be put to use.

This is where the theory of public policy meets its praxis. On the completion of Hops, you will find yourself equipped to analyze public policy challenges like a true professional and propose smart, practicable solutions.
