Until recently, public policy was thought to be a subject of study reserved for those in government who make decisions that affect people or the general public. This is in stark contrast to the United States, which lacks a permanent cadre of policy-making officials.
Public policy research focuses on many social and political issues that have several sides that can be enlightened by insights from practically all social science fields.
As a result, policy studies must fundamentally be interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in their intellectual, pedagogical, and practical approaches in order to achieve a thorough awareness and understanding of social and political reality.
It aids pupils in honing their capacity to make pragmatic decisions about what is "right" and "good." Policies that have positive outcomes and benefit a vast number of people may not be the "correct" ones if they violate individuals' fundamental rights as provided by India's constitution.
It helps the student to understand the role of various institutions, both public and private, in formulating the policies and the role played by them for the execution of the policies at different levels.
PPG studies also help the student to understand how the framework of the policies could lead to the indirect benefits/losses and the inadvertent consequences at times.
PPG will also help in comprehending the concepts of equity, liberty, the rule of law, efficiency, effectiveness, etc and how they are constituents of a practical public policy framework.
