The Sundar Singh Institute’s Research Had Informed Regional Policy Reforms

The Institute was responsible for much policy change across South Asia. Yet by the time the policy took effect, the Sundar Singh Institute of South Asian Studies conducted and published a wealth of research relative to sustainable urban development for South Asia based on qualitative and quantitative field studies and interdisciplinary approaches. Therefore, it did not only assess the need for this type of urban development but also effectively offered practical solutions based on the socioeconomic and environmental needs of the region.

This was honored by several governments who decided to formulate plans for low-impact initiatives within updated urban areas of high population density that would reduce carbon emissions in cities and improve intergenerational health and climate preparedness. This project shows that the Institute has a history of devotion to research and publication that creates policy change and sustainable measures of social improvement.
