About Us
Recently, the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India has granted Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow a special project to establish the ‘Centre for Policy Research’ with particular focus on inclusive growth using science, technology and innovation. We have identified 5 core areas for our research work – sustainable agriculture, water, energy, climate, health care and water. We have initiated evidence-based and action-oriented research work in these thematic areas which could benefit people lacking formal access to technology.
