SAMUNNATI 2026

About The Conference

Samunnati 2026 is envisioned as a national platform to accelerate India's progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in alignment with the aspirational vision of Viksit Bharat@2047—a roadmap for India's transformation into a fully developed, inclusive, and resilient nation in the centenary year of independence.

Anchored in the principles of collaboration, innovation, and equity, the conference seeks to catalyze transformative action across sectors through dialogue and partnership. By convening policymakers, industry leaders, academicians, development practitioners, and civil servants, the conference will explore integrative models that harness technological advancements, sustainable finance, and grassroot level innovation to fast-track development outcomes.

The event aims to bridge the policy-implementation gap by promoting multi-stakeholder engagement, particularly in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and community-driven approaches, all vital for localizing the SDGs. A key focus of Samunnati will be leveraging frontier technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, blockchain, and digital platforms to democratize access, ensure transparency, and enable inclusive economic growth.

These innovations will be examined through the lens of their role in bridging socio-economic disparities, enhancing digital public infrastructure, and empowering communities, particularly women, youth, and marginalized groups—a cornerstone of Viksit Bharat @2047. The conference will also spotlight sustainable finance and economic inclusion (SDGs 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 16), with discussions on impact investing, ESG frameworks, microfinance, and social entrepreneurship.

These themes underscore the urgency of mobilizing resources for equitable growth, self-reliance, and long-term prosperity, aligning closely with the Viksit Bharat vision of a self-sufficient, innovation-driven India. By championing collaborative action, community resilience, and digital transformation, Samunnati 2026 will contribute meaningfully to the realization of Viksit Bharat @2047, aiming to make development not only inclusive and participatory but also future-ready.
