|By admin

2-day Summit: Thursday, February 29 & Friday, March 1, 2024
#TheIndiaDialog is a continuation of the effort from last year to foster a better understanding of India and its functioning, delving deeper into developmental issues the country faces, the functioning of the democracy, etc.

#TheIndiaDialog looks at inviting the world’s leading experts and intellectuals in the areas of economics, business, policy, social development, science, technology, art and culture to provide their perspectives and foster an understanding of India. There would be a series of keynote addresses, panel discussions, and fireside chats during the dialog.

This year, deliberations become significant considering forthcoming general elections as well. As “The Elephant Moves,” it would be an apt opportunity to relook at India’s developmental trajectory, the challenges it faces, the steps required for continued growth and the functioning of democratic institutions. Some of the discussions we look at having are on education, nutrition, healthcare, reforms, urbanization, culture, states etc.
