Overview & Objectives:

This international seminar seeks to critically engage with the evolving trajectory of India’s economic growth, sectoral transformations, and sustainability challenges in the 21st century.

At the same time, the country’s commitment to Viksit Bharat 2047 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals underscores the urgency of aligning economic strategies with inclusive development and ecological balance. The seminar aims to provide a platform for academicians, policymakers, and researchers to deliberate on sectoral transformations, digital finance, gender and human development, environmental sustainability, and public sector reforms, thereby generating policy-oriented discussions for a sustainable growth path.
