Jayant Prasad is IDSA Director-General - The Hindu
In a significant move for policy circles, former ambassador Jayant Prasad has been appointed the next Director General of the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA), the prestigious New Delhi-based think tank on strategic affairs.
Confirming his latest assignment, Mr. Prasad told The Hindu that he is looking forward to begin his new job at IDSA which is the “brain-spot” of the strategic affairs community in India.
““I am honoured to lead IDSA which has continuously led research efforts in the frontiers of strategic affairs and defence: I hope it will add to its cross-sectoral expertise in fields like geo-economics,” Mr. Prasad said.
In his long and distinguished career that he began by specialising on the South Asian neighbourhood, Mr. Prasad most prominently served in Afghanistan as the Indian Ambassador during 2008-2010 and as Ambassador to Nepal during 2011-2013.
Mr. Prasad takes charge at a special moment in the history of IDSA as 2015 marks the fiftieth year of existence of the think tank.
