A think tank, for four days.

Model NITI Aayog is a simulation of NITI Aayog, India’s premier policy think tank (the National Institution for Transforming India, which replaced the Planning Commission in 2015). Over four sessions, participants step into the think tank’s work: policy analysis, evidence-based research, moderated debate, advocacy and leadership, with a strong focus on general awareness and current affairs. Every participant produces an original white paper, submitted within a month of finishing the bootcamp.
