About us

Policy Advocacy Research Centre (PARC), a unit of the Vivek PARC Foundation is an independent think-tank and socio-economic development-oriented implementation agency that engages in progressive impact-driven policy intervention & impact assessment. It focuses on building dialogue for impact with members of Central & State Governments, bureaucracy, corporates, small and medium scale enterprises, entrepreneurs, domain experts, academicians, NGOs, other concerned institutions and individuals. PARC aims to engage, structure, study, evaluate & revise policies, reforms and initiate action to positively impact society in the interest of the nation and citizens which is underpinned by the ethos of Nation-First approach

The focus in policy areas ranges from economic development, urban & rural development, human capital development, political development & governance, solid waste management, food & nutrition security, art & culture, industry and more to understand socio-economic issues and suggest action-oriented solutions that can shape the growth trajectory of the economy and contribute to nation’s development

PARC engages in dialogue and further action with emerging territories within the country & developing nations to catalyse their socio-economic growth through technology & knowledge transfer, trade, support infrastructural development and an economic multiplier effect through investments. This is with the intent to bring about socio-economic benefits for stakeholders in that region enabling the creation of new grounds for growth on the state, national and international front
