🔍 Passionate about shaping the future through policy research? Let's connect and catalyze change together! With a PhD in Political Science and UGC-NET qualification, I am Dr. Amit Kumar Gupta, a dedicated scholar and proponent of informed decision-making. As the founder & Managing Director of Neeti Varta Institute of Policy Research, I have led initiatives that connect academia with practical policymaking, foster meaningful dialogue, and promote actionable solutions. During my 6-year tenure as Assistant Professor in Political Science, I have had the privilege of mentoring graduate students, instilling in them a passion for critical analysis and civic engagement. My dedication to empowering the next generation of thought leaders extends beyond the classroom, as I actively engage in policy research to address pressing societal challenges. My major achievements include the publication of 7 research papers and 2 book chapters, serving as the Coordinator of Election Literacy Fest at the University level for the last 5 years, mentoring UG 1st-year Political Science students for the last 3 years, and co-coordinating other departmental committees. Along with this experience, I achieved the Best Practicum Award in Lokniti 3rd Batch conducted by the Indian School of Public Policy, demonstrating my commitment to furthering knowledge and bringing about positive change. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for synthesizing complex information, I bring a unique perspective to policy analysis and development. Looking ahead, my career aspirations revolve around leveraging my expertise to make meaningful contributions to policy discussion and implementation. Be it through consulting opportunities or research efforts to collaborate in the public policy context of the state of Chhattisgarh, I look forward to collaborating with like-minded individuals and organizations to bring about concrete, lasting change.
