Bhubaneswar's Xavier varsity sets up school to create future policy makers

The School of Government and Public Affairs (SGPA) at Xavier University, Bhubaneswar, will produce a new generation of policy makers and leaders for the future.

The school is also expected to align with the Odisha government's drive for transparency in delivering citizen-centric services and focus on the 5T governance model of team work, transparency, technology, time and transformation.

“Policymaking and governance are crucial factors for sustainable growth and equitable development. In India, as we are maturing into a vibrant democratic set-up, people are expecting transformational, big-bang achievements. The policy makers must have to envision policy paradigms commensurate to the expectations of people,”
