WHAT TO EXPECT

Over two enlightening days, this symposium will feature a series of engaging panel discussions centred around relevant themes. We are proud to bring together a diverse range of participants, including esteemed academicians, seasoned practitioners, influential policymakers, and visionary change-makers. Their collective insights will offer invaluable insights and foster meaningful conversations.

​

The symposium's first day will delve into crucial topics surrounding labour markets, digital literacy and skills, and digital well-being and mental health. This day will primarily cater to academicians, providing them with a platform to share their research findings from various disciplines within this field. Join us as we explore the latest insights and advancements in these areas, contributing to the collective knowledge and understanding of the subject matter.

 

On the second day, our focus will shift toward critical themes such as digital infrastructure, financial inclusion, and inclusive strategies for marginalized communities. This day will be enriched by the participation of practitioners, policymakers, civil society organizations (CSOs), and industry stakeholders. Together, we will examine significant initiatives, share best practices, and address the barriers to success that exist within the Indian context.

​

Throughout the event, an overarching theme will be gender-based inequalities, drawing inspiration from SDG 5: Gender Equality.
