Recognition / Ranking / Affiliation
The
Bharat Assets Protection Institute (B.A.P-I) envisions
establishing itself as a nationally and internationally recognised research and
policy institution dedicated to resilience-oriented governance and strategic
preparedness. The journey toward formal recognition is a gradual and purposeful
process—built on credibility, collaboration, and commitment to national
interest.
The
Institute aspires to build meaningful affiliations and institutional linkages
that will connect it with leading government bodies, academic institutions, and
global research platforms. Its future affiliation roadmap includes
collaborative engagement with NITI
Aayog, the Ministry
of Education’s Innovation Cell, the Department
of Science and Technology, and thematic cooperation with UNDP-India
and OECD’s
Global Resilience Frameworks.
At
the national level, B.A.P-I intends to form knowledge partnerships with universities,
defence think tanks, and public
policy centres, enabling a stronger bridge between academic research and
policy implementation. Over time, the Institute’s research aims to be
recognised in academic
repositories, cited in scholarly discourse, and featured in national
publications that shape the conversation on resilience and strategic
governance.
In
its forward-looking vision, B.A.P-I anticipates developing future affiliations
and evaluation pathways under select national and international platforms such
as:
®NITI
Aayog’s Atal Innovation and Research Ecosystem (AIRE)
— for institutional research registration and policy collaboration;
®Ministry
of Education’s Innovation Cell (MIC) — for academic linkage
and research partnerships aligned with the NEP framework;
®Department
of Science and Technology (DST) and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA)
— for thematic cooperation in resilience studies, critical infrastructure
protection, and national capacity-building;
®UNDRR,
OECD, and UNDP-India networks — for inclusion
within global programmes on infrastructure resilience and sustainability
governance.
B.A.P-I
stands today as a young but purpose-driven initiative—one that began as an idea
of institutional foresight in 2020 and is steadily transforming into a national
research and policy platform. The Institute’s ongoing efforts are directed
toward securing formal
academic, policy, and institutional
affiliations, strengthening its foundation, and positioning itself as a
trusted contributor to India’s evolving architecture of national resilience and
strategic self-reliance.
