Marking a milestone in global discourse, Nalanda University in Rajgir, Bihar, launches its flagship ‘Nalanda Development Dialogue (NDD)’ this Sunday, March 8, for two intensive days. The event gathers influential policymakers, development specialists, and intellectuals to explore pathways for inclusive, enduring growth against the backdrop of today’s multifaceted global dilemmas.
Under the aegis of the Center for Studies in Development and Sustainability (CSDS), the seminar promises a rich tapestry of keynote presentations, specialized sessions, and policy brainstorming on themes like sustainability metrics, cross-border collaboration, economic revitalization, and strategic alliances.
Drawing from ancient Nalanda’s unparalleled heritage of scholarly congregation, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Sachin Chaturvedi views NDD as a renaissance of that venerable exchange, tailored to forge progressive policies for a balanced future.
The roster boasts Dr. Shamika Ravi of India’s PM Economic Advisory Council; Yale scholar Prof. Thomas Pogge; JNU Emeritus Prof. Deepak Nayyar; Japan’s NGIPS Prof. Tetsushi Sonobe; German expert Stefan Klingebiel; and IPC’s Andre de Mello e Souza, alongside peers from top global organizations.
This platform not only disseminates cutting-edge knowledge but also catalyzes actionable collaborations between thinkers and decision-makers. As Nalanda reclaims its intellectual prominence, the dialogue stands poised to inspire transformative strategies for worldwide development.
