Abhyudaya Conclave, supported by Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), Ministry of Culture, is a five-day immersive know-and-act program designed for young minds who wish to build and deepen their understanding of the Indian civilization and evolve actionable insights for contemporary challenges. Delegates will be provided with a multi-disciplinary approach to the Indic worldview in a contemporary format. The conclave will have sessions and discussions ranging from the Vedic tradition and indigenous knowledge systems to the current socio-econo-political needs of the society. This will provide conceptual frameworks and much-needed intellectual clarity to effectively navigate the global challenges from a rooted Indian perspective.
Apart from interactive lectures, debates and discussions, participants will also get to experience India as a lived tradition. The synthesis of both the intellectual and the aesthetic dimensions will give delegates a holistic experience of the Indic worldview. The conclave will help the young seekers connect the ancient to their modern lives and then take it beyond the personal to creating societal impact. The objective of Abhyudaya Conclave is to give wings to a whole new generation of young leaders who can exercise leadership in their chosen fields.
Abhyudaya Conclave is a unique program where you will:
- Learn the nuances of the Indian worldview
- Experience the depth of classical tradition
- Connect with young Indic leaders

Program Structure
The conclave is designed to be a highly dynamic experience but will broadly focus on the following themes over the five day schedule:

- Examining narratives by mapping this worldview to contemporary social debates
- Understanding the depth and relevance of Indic knowledge systems.
- Cultivating qualities of leadership with rootedness
