I, Society & Public Policy

Calendar for year 2008

Liberty & Society Seminar (LSS) now called I, Society & Public Policy (ISPP)

EVENT UPDATE Apply now for Pune and Delhi seminar  


I, Society & Public Policy is a four-day residential seminar with an aim to engage young people with social and economic issues through an understanding of public policy. ISPP provides a greater understanding of the larger world-society, economy and the culture-within the classical liberal framework that emphasises limited government, rule of law, free trade, and individual rights.

It makes you exercise your grey cells where YOU do the talking; get to know REALITY with your own eyes; watch documentaries; have interactive discussions with experts and chit-chat over coffee and food!LSS so far

ISPP makes you an informed citizen, challenges your beliefs & develops critical thinking and makes you a change agent!

Seminar Design

The format of ISPP is interactive with discussions, working groups, field visits, and documentary videos followed by group discussions. We start at 9 am and end at around 11 pm, though most students rarely stop then.

  • Interactive Talks: by experts and practitioners in media, academics, research, government, development sector, and corporate sector
  • Working groups : Small groups encourage participation, creativity and expression
  • Researching Reality Field Exercise : First hand research on vendors, cycle-rickshaw pullers, auto wallahs, shop owners, coolies, construction workers
  • Documentaries: 3-4 documentaries supplement lectures and working group exercises with powerful visuals
