New Ideas, New Leaders!
OVERVIEW
Ideas rule the world! In the long run, the world is governed by little else. Ideas can also transform the world, but only if they generate enthusiasm, inspire, and engage people’s hearts and minds.
The youth today are becoming ever more informed, competent, and proactive citizens of the nation. In this information age, they believe in the ‘power of knowledge’ instead of the age-old practices of morchas and dharnas, in creating an environment of informed citizenry to bring about change. It is time for us to engage their enthusiasm and ideas. Youth and other leaders must be energized, empowered, and introduced to great ideas that will help shape India's promising future.
After 14 years of organising public policy seminars and workshops for a diverse audience including students, policy makers, academics, NGO leaders, and journalists in various parts of India, Centre for Civil Society (CCS) launched the CCS Academy in 2011. All CCS certificate courses, educational programs, research internships and other exciting initiatives now come under the larger banner of CCS Academy.
MISSION
The mission of CCS Academy is to spark an intellectual revolution in support of individual rights, free trade, the rule of law, and limited government that will create constructive change and shape India’s future for the better. To achieve this, the Academy has a multi-pronged approach to:
- Evoke critical thinking amongst future leaders of the country;
- Engage them with social and economic issues through an understanding of public policy;
- Equip them with the necessary tools to better evaluate, analyze, and advocate sound policies; and
- Evolve sustainable solutions.
PROGRAMS
CCS Academy has three main programs, ìpolicy courses in public policy, the acclaimed Researching Reality summer and non-summer Internships, and residential Colloquiums on liberal issues.
