Kashmiri public policy scholar Arhan Bagati has been appointed a Research Fellow at the Harvard Center for International Development (CID), starting August 2026. Bagati, a Master in Public Policy graduate from Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, will focus on development research, particularly on Kashmir and its unique challenges.

The appointment places a Kashmiri researcher within one of Harvard's leading centres for advancing research and policy solutions. Bagati's work at CID is expected to address local development issues in Kashmir.
This fellowship places a Kashmiri scholar at a premier global policy hub, potentially bringing international academic attention to Kashmir's development metrics, from education to infrastructure. The CID is known for translating research into policy frameworks, which could influence how multilateral agencies approach conflict-affected regions. Watch for Bagati's first published working paper or policy brief from CID, likely in 2027, as an indicator of the research direction.
