Transforming India 2030: Strategies for Sustainable Development Goals.
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FoHSS), Symbiosis International University (SIU) is organising a two-and-a-half-day international conference titled, “Transforming India 2030: Strategies for Sustainable Development Goals”, scheduled for the 15th, 16th and 17th February, 2017 at the Symbiosis International University, Pune, Maharashtra, India.

The conference will focus on seven select goals, the associated targets and the issues & challenges that need to be addressed in to put our world on an inclusive, equitable and sustainable path.
If India is to achieve the SDGs, the next 15 years are going to be decisive. There is a need for a constructive approach to fortify both development and democracy, engaging citizen bodies, research institutes and varying levels of governance, allowing development to work its way from bottom up. As an educational institute of high repute and prestige, through this conference we hope to come out with definitional tools and measures to prepare India for this journey towards optimising the lives of Indian citizens.
