Scholars, faculty, and students at Marwadi University will play a critical role in ensuring that the research that the Centre for Youth Policy undergoes will be of academic calibre and peer-reviewed.

Now officially housed at Marwadi University (@MU_Rajkot), the partnership will include joint publications, research papers, surveys, and programming that include international partners and think-tanks.

The Centre for Youth Policy, inaugurated in 2023 by YIF, stands as India’s only research institution focusing on youth political engagement. From tracking youth candidacy to generating data on political accessibility, the CYP brings young voices to the forefront of research.
