Communeeti, in collaboration with Anant National University Ahmedabad, has established the Centre of Public Policy on the varsity campus. The centre strives to establish thought leadership in public policy and further the cause of public policy education to create a generation of new-age public policy professionals from diverse backgrounds.

Anant भ्रमण
Anant भ्रमण means Travel, Wandering or roaming about, is proposed to be a unique programme to provide experiential learning to students through excursion trips to relevant centres of activity (i.e. Fashion students to take them on textile clusters or cluster development programmes). Through Anant भ्रमण, students can delve into real-world contexts and engage with diverse subjects and environments, thus fostering a deeper understanding of diverse fields and encouraging innovative thinking based on ground realities.
Format:
The nature of “Anant भ्रमण” will be flexible, adapting to different locations and topics relevant to the curriculum. Each भ्रमण will typically span over one to three days, offering an intensive yet enriching experience for participants. Customisation lies at the heart of this program, with meticulous planning tailored to the specific cohort of students enrolled for the academic year. This ensures that every field trip is finely tuned to the academic interests, learning objectives, and skill levels of the participating students, maximising the educational value and relevance of the experience. Whether exploring urban landscapes, rural communities, policy institutions, or design studios, each भ्रमण promises a unique and immersive journey designed to broaden perspectives, deepen knowledge, and inspire creativity.
