About Stratagem

A student-led think tank at Jadavpur University, dedicated to structured thinking, strategic dialogue, and interdisciplinary inquiry.

What is Stratagem?

Stratagem is Jadavpur University’s first student-led think tank — a platform built to encourage structured thinking, strategic dialogue, and interdisciplinary problem-solving among students.

Why Stratagem Exists

Universities generate knowledge, but often lack spaces where students can apply it across disciplines. Stratagem exists to bridge that gap — by fostering critical inquiry, informed debate, and research-driven perspectives on contemporary issues.
