The Public Policy Club is the student-led public policy platform of IIM Calcutta. The mission and vision of the club is to inculcate a spirit of dialogue and promote learning and interest in the domains of public policy, politics and governance. We partner with a network of think tanks, NGOs, law firms, policy research centres, as well as policymakers and industry leaders, and provide members the opportunity to discuss and present actionable ideas to solve critical problems and make a tangible impact on society.
The Youth Shall Lead – our motto – reflects our firm belief in the importance of a well-informed youth and the need to incorporate innovation in social, public, industry and organizational leadership.
We organize a host of events and activities throughout the year to uphold and strengthen this spirit of youth leadership and publish course guidebooks, gazettes and newsletters. Our annual flagship event is the National Policy Hackathon, which began as the Bengal Policy Hackathon, where students from institutes across India as well as working professionals participate and present their solutions.
