CEDS believes in generating evidence for action, by tracking the evolving changes in the socio-economic landscape. CEDS will also integrate the voices of the community judiciously hence evolving the public discourse.

In addition to a range of research, survey and assessment projects the team at Center for Empowerment & Development Studies (CEDS) will also conduct grass-root assessments for an accurate and deeper understanding of the issues which are being faced by the Indian populace. The outcome of the assessment showcasing the needs and the issues faced by the society in different thematic areas will be recommended to the policymakers and various implementing bodies.
