India, with its millennia-old civilizational heritage, offers a profound reservoir of knowledge and wisdom that has guided its social, political, and economic organisation for centuries. In an era marked by rapid technological advancement, socio-political transformation, and global interconnectedness, there is a growing need to revisit and re-contextualise Bharatiya cultural paradigms in shaping contemporary public policies. The integration of evidence-based policy frameworks rooted in Indian ethos, values, and ancient scriptures can offer not only culturally resonant governance models but also sustainable and inclusive pathways to national development. This conference is a platform to explore the intersection of tradition and modernity in public policy. It seeks to examine how timeless principles from epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharat, age-old institutions based on the principles of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, and culturally inspired governance practices can inform and transform India's policy landscape in the 21st century. From youth development to economic strategies, and from digital data governance to globalisation, the themes of this conference converge on the central idea that culture is not just a historical construct but a living, evolving force that must guide India's journey towards becoming a Viksit Bharat.
