RAS question
The Centre for Sustainable Employment (CSE), which publishes the SWI report, is part of which institution?
Correct answer: (B) Azim Premji University.
The Centre for Sustainable Employment, which publishes the State of Working India report series, is part of Azim Premji University.
Explanation
The Centre for Sustainable Employment is linked to Azim Premji University, not to a management, statistics, or public-finance institute. The official university page describes CSE as a research centre at Azim Premji University and says its aim is to generate and support research on job creation, employment, and sustainable livelihoods. CSE works in the areas of work, labour, and employment, and publishes the State of Working India report series. So the institution to remember is Azim Premji University; the report's employment focus is also the clue, because it aligns directly with the centre's stated research mandate.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore is not the correct affiliation; CSE is a research centre at Azim Premji University.
- (C) Indian Statistical Institute does not fit the affiliation, because the official CSE page places the centre at Azim Premji University.
- (D) National Institute of Public Finance and Policy is a distractor; Azim Premji University connects CSE with the university and its employment research work.
Concept
This tests current-affairs source literacy around reports and their publishing institutions. RAS often asks such pairings because reports like State of Working India are used to frame labour, employment, and policy debates.
