ORF-Hindu Policy Conclave is a uniquely crafted event in the University of Delhi
circuit, which witnesses a discursive coalescence of domain experts and public
intellectuals on a single platform at a grand scale and substantive depth. The event
germinated as an idea in the confabulations between Samir Saran (President,
Observer Research Foundation), Harsh V. Pant ( Vice-President, Observer Research
Foundation) and Chandrachur Singh (Professor, Dept. of Political Science, Hindu
College) when they conceived of something along the lines of Raisina Dialogue to
take policy nuances from the higher echelons of diplomacy to the younger
generation that continually strives and stretches for newer avenues of learning and
engagement.In essence and spirit, it serves as a major policy summit that aims to take the
pedagogic discourse beyond the confines of classrooms and help students grapple
with the world's current socio-political affairs. A one-of-a-kind program, it brings
celebrated policymakers and scholars together on a single stage and provides
students with an opportunity to participate in dialogue and deliberation. It gives the
students a platform to learn from and pose questions directly to the stalwarts of
research and academia. This interaction and cross-pollination of ideas injects
dynamism into policy affairs and nurtures the intellectual growth of young learners.
