and June every year by Liberal Press. JMPP seeks to create a body of knowledge around the interface of various functional areas of Management and Public Policy. It is likely to serve as an independent forum for the academia, industry, civil society, and the State to carry forward a candid and objective discussion on common issues having a bearing on economy, business, community, environment, and the quality of life of the people. All the editorial positions are honorary/non-remunerative. Editor and Editorial Advisory Board members are associated with this journal in individual capacities and their institutions have no role in the publication of JMPP.
