Welcome

Our complex world today warrants a more vibrant and more relevant education . It should, besides imparting livelihood skills, prepare the individual to face the challenges unique to our times.

We cannot be living insulated lives that are disconnected from the outside realities. There will be increasing demand for people who can relate to the humanity as a whole. Much of our contemporary challenges stem from lack of enlightened leadership (both in political and corporate arena), inadequate appreciation of the strength of technology as a tool for positive change, and insufficient understanding of socio-eco-political transformation taking place at local or global level. 60 years after independence we still face issues of inequities of various kinds, object poverty, ecological degradation and varied injustices and conflicts. A country that aspires to be a superpower in a decade's time cannot afford this situation. This situation compels us to think differently about our educational establishments, academic contents and delivery model.

We feel we have a vision for this mission. We dream of a better India and better world through designing and executing the structured program focused on empowerment of youth especially from rural India that can become a platform for creativity and change that all of us so desperately deserve (and yearn). It should be a centre of excellence for a generation of future leaders. They will be leaders with character, well versed with technology and wisdom to handle the challenges with innovative solutions through constructive and positive approach. They will be a bridge between the 'local and global'.

World class leaders from Education, Corporate Industry, International Relations and Diaspora, Think Tanks, Governance and Public Policy, Politics & Public Administration, Agriculture, Social and Environment etc are going to contribute actively towards this ambitious movement.
