Warm greetings to all students, faculty, alumni, and well-wishers of the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE).
At Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, our vision is to transform the Institute into a nationally leading and globally respected centre of excellence in economics, public policy, and the social sciences. Rooted in our rich legacy, we aspire to be a hub of rigorous academic research, innovative pedagogy, and meaningful policy engagement.
Our core values—academic freedom, inclusivity, and evidence-based research—continue to guide us as we shape the future. With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, collaborative research, and active engagement with policymakers, Gokhale Institute is steadily emerging as a preferred destination for students, researchers, and policymakers seeking advanced degrees, impactful collaborations, and policy formulation opportunities.
Looking ahead, our focus is on becoming a globally connected, technology-driven, and socially responsible institution, with a strong commitment to sustainability, innovation, and digital transformation.
To our students, I encourage you to remain curious, courageous, and compassionate, and to use your knowledge for building a just and equitable society. To our faculty, I extend my gratitude and urge you to continue inspiring and leading with vision and dedication.
Together, as a community, we can nurture future leaders, scholars, and changemakers equipped to address India’s socio-economic challenges and contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future.
Thank you for being an integral part of the GIPE journey. Let us continue to build an academic environment that is meaningful, impactful, and future-ready.
