5th INTERNATIONAL SDG CONFERENCE, 6th – 7th OCTOBER 2025, CHITRAKOOT

The 5th International SDG Conference was held on 6th – 7th October, 2025 at Chitrakoot, in continuation of the underlying theme inspired by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s Ekatma Manav Darshan (Integral Humanism). The spirit of Ekatma Manav Darshan is ‘Gramodaya se Sarvodaya’ (From Rural Upliftment to Upliftment of All); and from ‘Sarvodaya to Abhyudaya’ (From upliftment for All to the Rise of All).

The Plenary Session reiterated the links between Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya’s Integral Humanism and Bharat Ratna Rashtrarishi Nanaji Deshmukh’s rural empowerment interventions with the Sustainable Development Goals, especially with Goals 6 & 8, that were the themes of this Conference.
