Theme
As part of the conference, we will be publishing the sixth edition of the Niti-Samvaad journal, taking an interdisciplinary and intersectional lens to this year’s theme:
Empowering the Marginalized: Inclusive Policy-making for an Equitable India
Having completed over 76 years as a nation and witnessed unprecedented growth, India enters a new chapter in its history. From strengthening our position as a global power to establishing ourselves as a leader in technological innovation, India has made significant strides. The leading force behind this has been its diverse population. However, it remains to be questioned whether everyone has benefited equally from the ongoing progress.
Through this year’s theme, the conference aims to engage policy scholars to reexamine the protocols and practices around equality and justice in India and brainstorm policy solutions that can bridge gaps and ensure an equitable India for all.
