About the Book

The LPPYF Cohort 5.0 – The Legal and Governance Landscape of Women’s Empowerment in India is a rigorous collection of research and reflections from the Law and Public Policy Youth Fellowship organised by IMPRI. This volume brings together diverse perspectives of emerging scholars who critically engage with the pressing socio-political, legal, and economic challenges of contemporary India.

Spanning themes such as gender justice, caste and class inequalities, environmental governance, labour rights, and participatory democracy, these essays highlight both structural barriers and transformative possibilities in policymaking. The anthology is not just an academic exercise but also a call to action—urging policymakers, practitioners, and civil society actors to rethink frameworks of justice and inclusivity.

By weaving together voices from across regions and disciplines, this collection stands as a testament to the fellowship’s vision: nurturing young minds to contribute meaningfully to India’s policy discourse and fostering a more equitable and empowered society.
