Bharat Ki Soch, Manav Rachna Univ ties to harness knowledge system

In a significant step toward aligning classical civilisational wisdom with modern academic and policy frameworks, Bharat Ki Soch (BKS) and the Manav Rachna Centre for Peace & Sustainability (MRCPS), Manav Rachna University, officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Bharat Ki Soch office.

This research collaboration establishes a strategic partnership to leverage the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) as a foundational framework for sustainable development, civic responsibility, and national progress, aiming directly to support the country’s journey towards a Viksit Bharat. All joint initiatives, academic outputs, and advocacy campaigns will be carried out under the joint branding of Bharat Ki Soch and MRCPS.

Speaking at the event, Anil Rajput, Chairperson of Bharat Ki Soch, shared a profound vision for the country’s future, emphasising that true macro-level transformation must begin at the grassroots—with our students and children. He noted that while youth are traditionally viewed as the future of the nation, they also wield a powerful, immediate influence over their parents and society at large, who constitute our present. This unique positioning makes them vital catalysts for a renewed focus on sustainable growth across all dimensions, particularly in personal character-building.

Rajput urged a fundamental shift in societal perception, advocating for a generation of citizens whose outlook is shaped by what they can contribute to their country, rather than being overly focused on what the country can do for them. Reflecting on the deeper psychological and spiritual dimensions of national development, he concluded that true economic sustainability demands greater resilience and innovation.

The signing ceremony was attended by a high-level delegation from Manav Rachna University, led by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Deependra Kumar Jha, alongside Dr Anandajit Goswami, head of the Centre for Peace & Sustainability. Expressing his strong support for the partnership, Prof. Jha deeply appreciated the vision of Bharat Ki Soch, noting how closely it resonates with the core civilizational ideals of Manav Rachna University.
