CCS the Only Indian Think Tank in Global Top 100
Ranks 50 among 6,681 Think Tanks Worldwide
New Delhi - Centre for Civil Society - Centre for Civil Society (CCS),
for the sixth year in a row, features among the top think tanks in the
world according to the annual study conducted by the Think Tanks and
Civil Societies Program at the University of Pennsylvania. This ranking
is a result of the comprehensive study of 6,681 think tanks from every
region of the world.
The
Centre advances social change through public policy—working
specifically in the sectors of education, livelihood, and policy
training to promote choice and accountability across private and public
sectors. They engage with policy and opinion leaders through research,
pilot projects and advocacy.
CCS
ranks 50th in Top 150 Worldwide (US and non-US) think tanks, the only
Indian think tank to feature in the top 100 on the list. CCS also ranks
14th in Top 50 Think Tanks in China, India, Japan, and the Republic of
Korea.
The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program at the University of Pennsylvania
annually ranks think tanks around the world through an intensive
process of nominations, and expert and peer institution feedback on the
output, impact and influence of global think tanks. The rankings are
based on stringent criteria, including the quality and commitment of
the think tank’s leadership and staff, the quality and reputation of
the research and analysis produced, the impact of a think tank’s
research and programs on policymakers and other policy actors, the
ability to develop effective networks and partnerships with other think
tanks and policy actors, an organisation’s success in challenging the
traditional wisdom of policymakers and in generating innovative policy
ideas and programs, and the impact on society—creating a positive
change in societal values.
The
rankings were first initiated in 2006, and CCS has consistently
featured among the highest ranked centres of excellence globally.
