An independent research institution for Punjab.

Punjab Think Tank is an independent, non-partisan research institution dedicated to studying Punjab as a system. We diagnose the structural drivers of Punjab's ecological, economic, demographic, and institutional decline — and we design evidence-based pathways for its renewal.

We are deeper than news. More Punjab-rooted than generic India-focused policy institutes. More solution-oriented than pure critique. Our purpose is not to describe Punjab's crisis, but to explain it — and to translate that explanation into research, policy, and reform thinking that decision-makers, institutions, and the Punjabi public can actually use.

Our mission

Researching Punjab's decline, diagnosing its structural causes, and designing long-term pathways for renewal — producing independent, evidence-based analysis that shapes policy, public understanding, and institutional action.

Our discipline

We work to three standards: evidence over opinion, structure over slogan, and usefulness over decoration. Every piece we publish must satisfy all three.

Our method

Three steps, one discipline: Research · Think · Solve. Read more about the method.

Our pillars

The work is organised across six structural pillars: water and ecology, agriculture, economy, health, demography, and governance. See all six on the pillars page.
