Council for Advocacy and Policy Research is a registered organisation that empowers scholars across Rajasthan to voice their ideas, foster inclusive discussions, and help shape the state’s public narrative.
It is an independent advocacy and research centre committed to driving meaningful policy change. We take informed policy stands on critical issues, grounding our work in data and real-world realities. we don’t have any affiliation with any government or other public and private bodies.
While CAP primarily focuses on Rajasthan, it also provides an avenue for engaging with broader national and global issues. Our research spans multiple domains of human significance, including politics, governance, education, economy, health, society, culture, and history. By facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration, CAP aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical policy solutions, ensuring a meaningful impact on society.
