About the Winter Workshop<\/p><\/h4><\/div>

For a country that is home to a sixth of humanity, India’s economic story deserves better than the fragments in which it is usually taught and understood. This winter workshop, jointly convened by the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy at O.P. Jindal Global University and the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Washington, DC, sets out to close that gap.<\/p><\/h6><\/div>

The programme takes as its point of departure A Sixth of Humanity: Independent India’s Development Odyssey<\/em>, the Financial Times Book of the Year for 2025, co-authored by Devesh Kapur and Arvind Subramanian. Over five days at the Jindal campus, the two authors will deliver ten lectures tracing India’s development path from the founding of the republic to the present, covering state-building, growth, nation-building, and the pathologies that continue to shape policy choices today. Each morning’s lectures are followed by an afternoon workshop, led by the authors and by a set of policy researchers and practitioners, in which participants engage directly with data, empirical methods, and, where relevant, AI tools.<\/p>\n

The workshop is not conceived as a passive lecture series. Its ambition is threefold: to deepen participants’ understanding of the Indian economy as a connected whole rather than a set of isolated topics, to strengthen how that economy is taught in university classrooms, and to seed new research by exposing participants to primary data sources and the analytical tools now available to work with them.<\/p>\n

Over five days, participants will accumulate 30 hours of direct interaction with the resource persons, earning the equivalent of two academic credits for those enrolled in degree programmes. Enrolment is capped at 100, selected through a competitive process from among undergraduate and graduate students and university faculty across India.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
