Creating a Framework for Disaster Risk Financing in India
With an increasing number of calamities, such as, floods, cyclones, and incessant rainfall in India every year, there is a need to think beyond existing disaster risk funding programmes and develop an alternative disaster risk fianncing framework for India. This discussion paper aims to examine the current disaster risk funding programmes in India comparing them to various disaster risk financing models available across the globe, and evaluate the viability of implementing globally acknowledged risk financing mechanisms in India.
COMPLETED PROJECTS
Knowledge Paper for the 6th ICC Gems & Jewellery Summit 2024
The Policy Consensus Centre was the Knowledge Partner at the 6th ICC Gems and Jewellery Summit.
As the Knowledge Partner at the Summit, PCC developed a comprehensive knowledge paper aimed at addressing key challenges and opportunities in India’s gems and jewellery sector. This paper explored three critical areas: widening credit access for the industry and retail customers, advancing artisan skill development through innovative training programs, and positioning India as a global leader in jewellery exports. The objective of the paper was to provide actionable insights for industry stakeholders, policymakers, and financial institutions to foster sustainable growth in the industry. With a focus on bridging financial gaps, enhancing artisanal craftsmanship, and boosting global competitiveness, this paper serves as a valuable resource for shaping the future of the sector.

Creating a Risk Mitigation Framework for the VDA Sector in India
The Indian government has largely overlooked the cryptocurrency sector, attributed to its rapid growth that outpaced policymakers’ understanding of its workings. The potential impact on India’s financial sector and real economy is still being gauged. To address this, the Policy Consensus Centre (PCC) plans to conduct research analyzing cryptocurrency’s effects on India’s macroeconomic and fiscal stability

Re-evaluating the Ban on Alternatives to Conventional Smoking Tobacco Products
Smoking tobacco, while not banned, has historically been considered a harmful product in India. Even though the tax incidence on tobacco products is as high as 53%, consumers are not allowed to access alternative smoke delivery products, making the transition to less harmful devices for de-addiction difficult. This study aims to make a case for creating an ecosystem that promotes responsible smoking choices for tobacco consumers in India.
