Seminar on ‘The Political Ecology of Tribal Development and Policy: Rethinking Land, Labour and Nature in the Satpura Hills, Madhya Pradesh, 1860-2025’ on 30th October
The Centre for Public Policy hosted talk will be led by Dr. Budhaditya Das, Assistant Professor, School of Human Ecology, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University Delhi
21 October, 2025, Bengaluru: The Centre for Public Policy (CPP) will host a research seminar on, ‘The Political Ecology of Tribal Development and Policy: Rethinking Land, Labour and Nature in the Satpura Hills, Madhya Pradesh, 1860-2025’, from 3.30 pm to 5.00 pm on 30th October 2025, in Classroom P-21. The talk will be led by Dr. Budhaditya Das, Assistant Professor, School of Human Ecology, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University Delhi, and will be based on his field research in Madhya Pradesh.
Abstract
Policymaking for Adivasi communities focuses on securing their rights to forests and land, protecting indigenous customs and cultural identity, and improving access to education, healthcare and public infrastructure in tribal-dominated landscapes. Economic poverty and political marginalization is attributed to a long history of violence and subjugation that begins with British colonialism in the 19th century and continues in the 21st century with struggles around ecological commons and land dispossession. In this seminar, the speaker will propose an alternate political ecology reading of state and Adivasi relations that foregrounds conceptions of power, territory and governmentality. Such a reading facilitates going beyond conceptual binaries such as domination/resistance, forest/agrarian and centralization/decentralization that have long dominated policy and political common sense around tribal development.
The seminar is based on long-term field research carried out in the teak forests of Satpura hills, Madhya Pradesh, with Gond and Korku Adivasi residents of forest villages. Dr. Das argues that forest villagers have engaged with the colonial, postcolonial and developmental state for over 150 years with strategies of evasion, negotiation, claims-making, compliance and resistance. This builds a conceptualization of Adivasi agency and tribal modernity that complicates narratives of passive suffering and heroic resistance. Based on archival, ethnographic research and the case study method, he highlights key moments and processes of state-making and transformations in Adivasi livelihoods and subjectivities in the period from 1860 to 2025. The dynamics of power and territorialization is examined through the colonial category of forest villages, the postcolonial impulses of decentralization (Joint Forest Management programme), forest tenure reform (the Forest Rights Act 2006) and the contemporary moment of contestations around the Morand Ganjal dam project. Using this empirical material, the seminar proposes a rethinking of the dynamics of land, labour and nature in India’s forests, and the role of state and public policy in tribal development.
About the speaker
Dr. Budhaditya Das is an interdisciplinary social scientist with research experience in the domains of biodiversity conservation, land governance and forest governance, and the environmental history of South Asia. Dr. Das has carried out social impact assessments to mitigate impacts of involuntary land acquisition for subnational governments and multilateral institutions.

Research & Publications Office to host seminar on ‘Supply Chain Networks and the Macroeconomic Expectations of Firms’ on 30 October
The talk will be delivered by Prof. Jordan Norris, NYU Abu Dhabi
24 October, 2025, Bengaluru: The Office of Research and Publications (R&P) will host a seminar on, ‘Supply Chain Networks and the Macroeconomic Expectations of Firms’, to be led by Prof. Jordan Norris, NYU Abu Dhabi (Economics area), at 4 pm on 30th October 2025, in Classroom K-11.
Abstract: In a randomized control trial of customer-supplier firm pairs in New Zealand, the researchers treat with information one firm in a pair and analyze the treatment’s effects on the expectations and actions of both the directly treated firms (direct effect) and connected firms that did not directly receive information (spillover effect). The direct and spillover effects on expectations and actions are significant and of comparable magnitude. Higher expected future real GDP growth increases prices and employment, while greater uncertainty about it reduces prices, investment and employment. The researchers show that spillover effects on the connected firms’ expectations are driven by inter-firm communication, as opposed to observable actions. This matters as the research finds communication to be symmetric upstream vs downstream, while propagation via actions is asymmetric. The researchers embed inter-firm communication along the supply chain in a New Keynesian pricing problem and discuss implications for the transmission of aggregate uncertainty to prices and inflation.
Speaker Profile: Dr. Jordan J. Norris is an Assistant Professor of Economics at New York University Abu Dhabi. He received his PhD from Northwestern University and holds a Master’s degree in Theoretical Physics from the University of Cambridge.
His research interests lie at the intersection of Spatial Economics (how location affects economic activity) and Networks, motivated by viewing space as a network. His work covers topics in International Trade, Economic Geography and Macroeconomics.
He is also a co-founder and co-organizer of the Middle East Spatial and International Economics (MESIE) Conference.

Research & Publications Office to host seminar on ‘Government Subsidies and Analyst Directional Inconsistency’ on 31 October
The talk will be delivered by Prof. Harminder Singh, Deakin University
27 October, 2025, Bengaluru: The Office of Research and Publications (R&P) will host a seminar on, ‘Government Subsidies and Analyst Directional Inconsistency’, to be led by Prof. Harminder Singh, Deakin University (Finance & Accounting area), at 12 pm on 31st October 2025, in Classroom P-11.
Abstract: The study examines whether government subsidies influence analysts’ directional inconsistency between revisions to earnings and target price forecasts. The researchers show that higher subsidy amounts are associated with higher directional inconsistency. This increased analyst inconsistency intensifies when firms announce earnings immediately before analyst revisions. Higher subsidy amounts are also associated with lower earnings informativeness. The sensitivity between subsidies and inconsistency is pronounced mainly for firms operating in asymmetric information environments, weak governance, or facing intense product market competition. Subsidy driven analyst inconsistency is associated with lower target price accuracy and higher implied volatility, indicating that investors perceive these analyst updates as less reliable. Moreover, subsidies amplify the analyst directional inconsistency between target prices and stock recommendation revisions. Overall, the research findings highlight the consequences of government subsidies for capital market participants, demonstrating how shifts in earnings informativeness can affect analyst assessments of firm-level short- and long-term prospects.
Speaker Profile: Harminder Singh obtained his M Com (Finance) degree from the University of Melbourne and PhD from Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, India. He has published in several reputed journals, including The Review of Asset Pricing Studies and Review of Accounting Studies. He has secured research grants from the International Cricket Council, The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Australia, Bendigo Bank (Australia) Centre for Financial Studies (Australia), NSE (India), UGC (India) and ICSSR (India), among others. He has presented/discussed papers and/or chaired sessions at leading Finance conferences, like AFA, FMA, FMA Asia, Paul Woolley Conference, Auckland Finance Conference, etc. He has supervised 10 PhD scholars and 14 Honours programme graduates. His work has appeared in mainstream finance media on numerous occasions.

CSITM at IIMB and INAIS India Chapter invite applications for ‘Scholarship in the AI Age’
Last date for the application deadline is 29 November, 2025
October 28, 2025, Bengaluru: The Centre for Software and IT Management (CSITM) at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), in collaboration with the Association for Information Systems – India Chapter (INAIS), invites applications for participation in the two-day workshop titled ‘Scholarship in the AI Age,’ scheduled for 22nd and 23rd January 2026 at IIM Bangalore. The last date for submitting applications is 29 November 2025.
The intensive two-day workshop aims to explore how the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not merely introducing new tools but fundamentally transforming the very nature of academic research and inquiry. In this rapidly evolving landscape, scholars are called upon to move beyond being passive users of technology and become strategic, critical thinkers who can harness AI’s potential responsibly, ethically, and with intellectual rigor.
The session is designed to be a dialogue-driven engagement rather than a “how-to.” It is intended for scholars and educators who want to comprehend the profound, structural changes that AI is bringing to research, as well as build the sophisticated mindset required for this new age. We will not give quick fixes. Instead, participants will have a high-level discussion about how to design, perform, and publish high-impact research in a world where AI is always collaborating, criticizing, and catalyzing. The goal is to provide you with the frameworks to lead, not just adapt to, the future of research.
Senior faculty members from IIMs and IITs will be facilitators at the workshop and will lead discussions in the classroom, breakout sessions, and the Editors’ Roundtable on AI in Peer Review and Dissemination.
