We invite the submission of abstracts or extended abstracts for consideration under the four thematic tracks of the upcoming 2nd International Conference, “Sustainable Management Strategies for India’s Future.” These tracks are designed to foster interdisciplinary research, dialogue, and practical innovation across academia, industry, and policy-making communities.

Submissions may include empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, case-based insights, or practitioner perspectives that align with the broader scope of sustainability, strategic transformation, and the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047—a developed, inclusive, and selfreliant India. In this context, we also encourage research that draws upon Swadeshi — such as local resource utilization, indigenous knowledge systems, and self-reliant economic models—as powerful tools for sustainable development and ethical management.

Aligned with the national vision of a Self-Reliant India, we particularly welcome contributions that emphasise innovation, resilience, and self-sufficiency in India’s development journey. Research exploring how local entrepreneurship, decentralized systems, and community-led initiatives can contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth will be especially relevant.

We welcome participation from scholars, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals who seek to advance India’s sustainable development agenda through rigorous and impactful inquiry.
