PRS Legislative Research (PRS) seeks to strengthen the legislative
process by making it better informed, more transparent and
participatory. Through its work, PRS seeks:
- To provide independent and non-partisan, research support to
Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of Legislative Assemblies (MLAs)
across party lines on all legislation and policy debates in the
legislature
- Track the functioning of legislatures and legislators by releasing detailed data and analysis
- Devise means by which citizens are more aware and engaged in the policy making process.
PRS was founded in 2005 as an independent research initiative. The initiative was incubated in the Centre for Policy Research
(CPR), New Delhi, which is a leading Indian think tank. Since 2013, the initiative
has been institutionalised as a not-for-profit Section 8 Company, the
Institute for Policy Research Studies.
The work of PRS is entirely funded through philanthropic donations and grants by a number of Indian institutions and individuals.
