About the Organization
PRS Legislative Research (PRS) is one of India’s leading public policy research institutions. It works with Members of Parliament (MPs) across party lines to provide non-partisan, research-based inputs on legislative and policy issues. PRS bridges the gap between Parliament and the people by making legislative information more accessible and digestible for the public, researchers, and policymakers.
Since its inception in 2005, PRS has hosted some of the most respected internship programs in public policy and governance, giving students a deep insight into the legislative process in India.
