NLSIU invites applications for the role of Visiting Fellow for its Regulatory Governance Project. The two-year project, which was initiated earlier this year, seeks to develop a cross-cutting view on regulatory governance in India.

About the Project

The project aims to ‘restock the regulatory toolkit’ for India by identifying the legal structures and norms of regulatory authorities and their parent bodies that best serve to create autonomous and accountable institutions. This understanding is intended to assist policymakers and regulators in shaping targeted improvements in regulatory frameworks and practices, and enhance their understanding of the potential for new technologies in the twenty-first century.

As part of this initiative, NLSIU is currently assisting regulators to make their regulations more effective.

This cross-cutting research is supported by Omidyar Network India, an investment firm focused on social impact.
