Yamini Aiyar, head of the premier public policy think-tank, Centre for Policy Research, announced, on Tuesday, 26 March, her departure from the institution. She is the daughter of veteran Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar. Her exit follows the Centre cancelling the CPR’s Foreign Contribution Regulation Act licence in January, alleging violation of norms while receiving funds from foreign sources.
