Centre For Social and Policy Research (CSPR)
The Centre for Social and Policy Research (CSPR) is functioning as a part of CHRIST (Deemed to be University), focuses on social and policy research and advocacy. The Centre focuses on social issues and policies across the broader areas of Marginalisation, Social Inclusion, Education, Economy, Law, Administration, Health, and Labour Welfare. The Centre for Social and Policy Research has a rich history, rooted in its predecessor, the Centre for Social Research, founded in 1999. In 2022, the Centre was reinvigorated, emerging as the Centre for Social and Policy Research and was extended in 2025 at the Delhi NCR Campus. This transformation marked a strategic shift in our mission, placing a renewed emphasis on policy research and advocacy.
