Vision for a Vibrant Nation

Think India 2012: Vision for a Vibrant Nation, is an all India conference of intellectuals, speakers and young minds of nation’s premier education institutions spelling out their vision for Vibrant Bharat.

The venue of this conference is also well suited to the theme, bearing history from two most prominent personalities of modern India, Swami Vivekananda and J N Tata, who thought of making India a stronger and vibrant nation.

Think India, the organizer of the event, is a forum for national students, researchers and alumni, in an effort to bring together the best talents of the country for a developed and vibrant nation.

This conference is open for student, researcher, teachers and alumni of national institutes and premier institutes. One can join the conference as Presenter, Entrant to Competition and as a delegate to enrich the discussions and session by your esteemed presence.

We hope to make this conference an interactive platform for thought provoking ideas to work in making India, a better place.

THINK INDIA 2012

‘Think India’, is an invitation to bring together the best talents of the country and to infuse them a ‘Nation First’ attitude.

It is an active forum of researchers and students to encourage debate on national issues raise their concerns and offer innovative solutions to problems. It is a platform for the Leaders of Tomorrow. It is a celebration of the best brains in the service of the nation. It is a collective endeavour of creative minds, free from all burden and prejudice, who are willing to dedicate themselves in thought and action to the cause of actively building the nation.

It is a team of visionary young men and women who aspire for an integrally developed India and strive to achieve it. It is a team of inspired people who dare to dream great things for the nation and also have the courage to forge into an uncharted future based on the valuable discoveries of India’s glorious past.

‘Think India’, is a clarion call to all those who believe that they can make a difference to create a better society and a better world. Welcome aboard Think India.

 

OBJECTIVE

To understand the present day national issues, emerging trends and problems
Responding to new developments with a nationalist perspective
To make the campuses vibrant centers of intellectual leadership and creativity
To foster initiatives that are solution oriented to resolve current problems in the Indian polity
To build a network of scholars to generate and sustain a democratic debate on national issues from an interdisciplinary perspective ensuring a common platform.
 

CONTEXT

All India Educational Institutes or National Institutes and Premier Educational Institutes are an epitome of excellence in all the educational domains they represent. More often than not, the patriotic fervour of students and graduates from these institutes are unfortunately doused. The penchant for the serving academics & research therefore drives them to find right places across the globe to contribute to the mankind. These greats continue to inspire the youth of our nation since decades.

We at Think India have felt the need to bind the students with an Indian nationalistic string to harness this part of national treasure in furthering our aim of national reconstruction.
