Eighth Leadership Conclave |
To guide the Institute in its short, medium, and long-term strategic issues, the Institute has formulated a Leadership Conclave every year. The Conclave gathers together some of the most eminent thinkers about education from India and around the world, and includes participants from industry, academia, and government. The day-long event includes discussions and the way forward on strategic issues of topmost priority to the Institute. In January 2018, the eighth Conclave plans to discuss initiatives for 10-year Celebrations, Learning by Doing, Senior Leadership Staff and Priorities for Philanthropic Funds. |
