There will be a variety of brainstorming sessions on sub-themes under the main subject to help make sense of the current global order transition and come up with policies based on the wisdom of civilizations to influence the future.

The statement asserts that the existing global order is changing dramatically, with noticeable changes occurring in a number of areas, such as the economy, society, culture, technology, defense, environment, development, geopolitics, and geoeconomics.

Geopolitical unrest, armed conflict, and concerns about how disruptive technology may affect jobs, privacy, and safety are all hallmarks of this unpredictable and unstable time. These kinds of indicators point to a transitory stage. Nonetheless, there is an urgent need to be ready for a future that is just, affluent, and supportive of human pleasure at this crucial moment.

India is positioned to play a significant role in forming the new global order because of its vast civilizational past spanning over 10,000 years, its prominent leadership within the Global South, and its standing as a dynamic geopolitical force and economic powerhouse. In the midst of the current upheaval, the MPAGD effort seeks to answer these important concerns and express India’s future vision.

According to the statement, Maharana Pratap, a renowned politician, diplomat, administrator, and warrior from Rajasthan who rejected Mughal suzerainty, was also honored with this modest gesture. We shall be able to continue Great Maharana Pratap’s legacy and ideology in India’s national security debate with your support at this conference.
