Working Papers involving ongoing research in key focus areas involving humanities and social sciences research. Working Papers Working Paper #1 Justice or Punishment-centred? Comparative Study of IPC/BNS, CrPC/BNSS and IE/BSA Authors: Akhil Chirravuri & Snehitha Pachipulusu A comparative study of old criminal laws and the new criminal laws 1 year after its implementation. Debunking narratives on the justice-centric approach and the grey areas that were deliberately left out by the Government to check civilian liberties. Working Paper #3 Comeback & Build India: NRI Concerns, Needs, Engagement Strategy & Way Forward to Enable Brain Circulation Authors: Akhil Chirravuri A comparative study of international best practices from Israel, China, and Ireland demonstrates that successful diaspora engagement models prioritize mutual benefit, targeted incentives, and private-sector-led knowledge networks. These nations have effectively transformed "brain drain" into "brain circulation," where human capital moves fluidly to generate value for both the country of origin and the host country. Project Name A comparative study of old criminal laws and the new criminal laws 1 year after its implementation. Debunking narratives on the justice-centric approach and the grey areas that were deliberately left out by the Government to check civilian liberties. Aa Working Paper #2 India's Upcoming Socio-Economic Caste Census – Challenges, Mitigation & Lessons from 2011 SECC & other International Ethnic Census Enumeration Experiences Authors: Akhil Chirravuri This report establishes the logical and constitutional necessity of a nationwide Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) as an indispensable tool for evidence-based policymaking and the fulfillment of India's social justice mandate. The absence of contemporary, empirical data on caste has created a policy vacuum, forcing the state to rely on outdated, nearly century-old statistics for the implementation of constitutionally mandated affirmative action programs.

Browse through and read them to learn more to expand your understanding of the most pressing issues. Legislative Briefs Legislative Brief #1 The Agricultural and Other Rural Workers (Protection and Welfare) Bill, 2022 Introduced By: Shri. Ranjeetsinha Hindurao Naik Nimbalkar The Bill aims to safeguard and enhance the welfare of agricultural and rural workers across India. It addresses the long-standing exploitation and lack of legal protection for this vulnerable workforce by proposing statutory entitlements like minimum wages, pensions, accident compensation, maternity benefits, and access to education and healthcare. Agricultural and rural workers, despite forming the backbone of the Indian economy, remain unorganized and highly exploited due to the absence of structured legal protection and welfare provisions. Legislative Brief #3 The Backward Areas Development Board Bill, 2024 Introduced By: Shri K. Navaskani The Backward Areas Development Board Bill, 2024 seeks to establish a national-level board to identify and enable the rapid development of backward regions across India. Despite national economic growth, regional disparities persist. Many districts lack basic infrastructure, industries, or access to services, leading to migration, underdevelopment, and inequality. Legislative Brief #5 The Debt Relief Board Bill, 2022 Introduced By: Adv. Dean Kuriakose The Debt Relief Board Bill, 2022 proposes the establishment of a statutory body—the Debt Relief Board—to identify and recommend loans for waiver as a one-time national interest measure. The bill seeks to address the persistent debt burden on vulnerable groups and enhance formal financial inclusion. Large segments of the population remain trapped in debt cycles, especially in agriculture, MSMEs, and education sectors, with a significant reliance on non-institutional lenders. Legislative Brief #2 The Agricultural Produce Price Fixation Board Bill, 2022 Introduced By: Adv. A. M. Ariff The Bill proposes to create an autonomous statutory body responsible for fixing remunerative support prices for agricultural produce, including fruits and vegetables, across India. This bill also seeks to protect farmers from post-harvest price crashes and ensure fair compensation based on actual production costs. Farmers frequently receive prices below the cost of production due to market volatility, particularly during post-harvest periods. Existing MSP mechanisms fail to guarantee minimum income or cover actual farming costs, leading to indebtedness and distress. Legislative Brief #4 The Compulsory Career Guidance Bill, 2017 Introduced By: Shri R. Dhruvanarayana The Compulsory Career Guidance Bill, 2017 aims to institutionalize mandatory career counselling for students at the school level to ensure informed educational and vocational decisions. It mandates the involvement of qualified professionals, government support, and periodic evaluation to equip students—particularly those from marginalized communities—with the tools to chart meaningful career paths. A significant number of Indian students complete schooling without adequate guidance, leading to unsuitable career choices, high dropout rates, and youth unemployment. This issue is intensified among underprivileged communities. Legislative Brief #6 This is your Project description. A brief summary can help visitors understand the context of your work.
