Policy Research Organization is an Urban Policy Think Tank for informed decision-making.
Mission: Producing researched, reliable, and data-driven analysis of Local Urban Governance in India.
Why do we need PRO?
- More than 50% population of India will be staying in or around Urban areas by 2030.
- Urban governing bodies do not have a separate independent think tank of its own.
- The urban governance data is not easily accessible to the public.
- Though, there is an extensive network of NGOs and advocacy groups in India and particularly in Maharashtra, almost no organization is involved in pure research work at the urban local policy level.
- The research papers, and analysis available in public domain are usually not available in local language, and are too academic for a common citizen to understand.
- Thus, the policy makers, opposition leaders, advocacy groups, and common citizens do not get researched, reliable and yet easy to understand analysis on urban governance; resulting in uninformed decision making.
