The Research Unit for Political Economy (R.U.P.E.) is constituted under the People's Research Trust, which is a registered public trust.
The Research Unit for Political Economy is concerned with analysing, at the theoretical and empirical levels, various aspects of the economic life of the country and its institutions.
It aims to compile, analyse, and present information and statistics so as to enable people to understand the actual mechanics of their every day economic life. And, in this, it aims to take the assistance and insights of people engaged in every sphere of productive work and society.
It feels that much of the research currently carried out with heavy funding is conditioned directly and indirectly by the implicit frame set by the funders.
The R.U.P.E. does not accept foreign institutional funding. It runs on limited finances raised from personal contributions. Contributions towards its work, either monetary or in the form of actual work are welcome.
The R.U.P.E. publishes the following bulletin:
Annual subscription: Rs 30/- or $11 US
Subscriptions are accepted for up to three years at a time.
