Gurkirat Singh

Gurkirat is a policy practitioner and a researcher at the Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi. His interests revolve around understanding performance management in public sector organisations and addressing challenges surrounding public service delivery in India. In doing so, he engages closely with state departments and local governments in India to evaluate sub-national welfare programs, including in-kind and direct benefit transfers. A separate segment of his work focuses on examining spatial disparities in household consumption across urban and peri-urban regions, as well as their implications for poverty alleviation, economic inequality, and the nature of urban growth in India. 

Gurkirat has a background in statistics and quantitative methods, with much of his work centred around the extensive use of surveys and administrative datasets. He majored in Economics at the University of Delhi, and was subsequently awarded the Young India Fellowship by Ashoka University, with tuition support from the HDFC Bank.
