Following themes are suggested:

1. Policies of Economic, Political, Social and Financial Inclusion
2. Identities and Development – especially focusing on policies pertaining to LGBTQ, Dalits, women and marginalized communities
3. Institutional architecture and challenges in democratic structure – especially looking at the independent authorities – Central Bank, Judiciary, CAG, Election Commission, CVC and other autonomous and independent institutions
4. Policy approach towards state owned/controlled organizations including banks, PSUs, universities, institutions of higher learning
5. Management of Non-Governmental Organizations and the changing policy ecosystems 6. Management of co-operatives and farmers’ producer organizations and the changing policy, legal and regulatory ecosystem

Theoretical and empirical papers shedding light on how the domains shape or are shaped by public policy; opportunities and constraints of institutional arrangements; and social as well as economic contexts shaping public policy are welcome. Papers not in these domains but related to public policy broadly are also welcome.
