Our Mission
At a time of disruptive change in the global order, when objective reality itself is often obscured by the diversity of opinion and the quality of information, the role of think tanks in support of democratic governments and their vibrant civil societies has become critical. Widely recognised as a leading, independent and non-partisan security think tank, the Delhi Policy Group (DPG) aims to deliver research based, relevant, reliable and realist policy perspectives to an actively engaged public, both in India and abroad. DPG is deeply committed to the growth of India's national power and purpose, the security and prosperity of the people of India and India's contributions to the global public good. We remain firmly anchored to these foundational principles which have defined DPG since its inception in 1994.
