OICSD Book Talks: Lessons in State Capacity from Delhi's Schools


Please enter the college using the main entrance on Woodstock Road.

How do governments translate ambitious education reforms into meaningful outcomes for children? What do Delhi’s schools reveal about the promises—and limits—of building state capacity in India?

Join us for a conversation with Yamini Aiyar, author of Lessons in State Capacity from Delhi’s Schools and former President & CEO of the Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi. She will be in discussion with Prof. Akshay Mangla (Saïd Business School) and Prof. Nayanika Mathur (School of Anthropology & Museum Ethnography).

The event will explore the complexities of governance, accountability, and reform in India’s education system, offering broader insights into the challenges of public policy and development.
