Think Tank Initiative and CSTEP jointly organised a workshop on "Generating High Quality Think Tanks in India".
The Sustainable Think Tanks project documents the transformative role that the Think Tank Initiative (TTI) has played in the life of think tanks.
Responding to three articles that appeared in the EPW (13 September 2014) by Nachane, Shah and Mehrotra, the authors call for clarity and debate on the ethos of the new "think tank" that is to be instituted in the place of the Planning Commission of India.
This article is a summary of a conversation amongst a few members of the South Asian Comms Platform, an informal group of communicators who share experiences in an effort to learn from one another.
In think tanks, visual communication happens at multiple levels and in various forms, for example, process diagrams, graphs, progress reports, and infographics.
Think tanks can play the role of a mediator, critic and facilitator, by exploring technology beyond the designer’s tunnel vision to look at the big picture.
Evidence can be a powerful tool for policy change; however, when the corridors of power are closed, how does one ensure that public policies are based on evidence?
Think Tanks do more than just research.
Since all NGOs are required to be registered within the same set of laws, legally and in public perception, think tanks and the more activist NGOs are often perceived to be the same.
