What our inaugural batch delegates have, to say

Susmita Sinha

P3E is a novel idea in policy education! The quality and mix of speakers, teachers as well as peers in the cohort is top notch! The highlight being the “hands-on project” where we solve actual challenges and closely observe how government functions. The course is rigorous, so be up for it!”

P3E has helped me develop a more nuanced understanding of multiple facets of public policy making, governance. It has introduced me to a broad gamut of perspective lenses, ranging from civilizational view to the economy(micro, macro, behavioral) to media. The group activities, assignments, and discussions over a variety of issues are something I loved the most.

I joined the first edition of P3E in January and I have to say that it is truly one of the best part-time public policy programmes out there! The programme has a diverse blend of academically bent lectures, interactive sessions, and panel discussions to understand the policy-making space with various kinds of stakeholders in the industry. It combines theoretical learning with practical application through a variety of activities and especially the Hands-on project, which gave us the exposure while working with a bureaucrat on areas of national policy priorities.

The P3E program at VIF has been a great learning experience about the policy landscape in India. It was wonderful to see the caliber and diversity of the cohort. It helped to learn a lot and have deep conversations. The program was well facilitated by VIF team, their unique interactive teaching style enhances the learning experience multifold. The dedicated and focused VIF team makes sure that you get the best out of every part of the program. I was really impressed by the kind of mentors and speakers that came to the program with their own wealth of knowledge. All in all, I am really glad that I decided to do this program as I now have a better perspective on Indian policy!

The P3E program enabled me to interact with policy experts I’ve followed for years. Great balance of field visits, that help shed preconceived notions; participative classroom and Webinar sessions, that shaped my critical thinking through rigorous discussions and the “Hands On Project” (HOP) that help us experience governance from a practitioner’s perspective. The delegates and the VIF team are extremely supportive and fun and I’ve made many friends.

With every session passing by I learned something enlightening and astonishing. It was eye-opening to learn about the perspectives of my fellow colleagues. I am definitely leaving this program with a much finer understanding of how a country functions and some lifetime friendships. This program and the VIF community has opened doors for me which I did not even know existed before joining the program. It is an honor to be a part of this community
