About the Seminar
There has been a long-standing debate over the problems, prospects and vision before India as a nation especially in the context of its democratic set-up. Questions have been asked as to how democracy has shaped the design, destiny and direction of our country so far and how it is going to determine the face and fate of India in the 21st century. In view of the broad scope and huge significance attached to it, this subject demands a greater debate in contemporary India. It requires deep thinking on the part of the scholars to introspect, reflect and share views to each other on one or the other platform. There is a need to have debate over various issues like civil society, issues related to women, dalits, tribals and minorities. The outcome of the debate requires to be communicated to the society; thereby efforts must be taken to uphold the standard of their living. The various policies for the overall development framed by the government for the welfare of such people needs to be communicated to the society around.
