TARAgram Yatra brings together practitioners and policy makers from India and across the world to discuss germane issues of sustainability and identify what can we do more and different such that India transforms to a greener, more sustainable, resilient and inclusive nation.
This year, the Yatra attempts to link the imperatives of economic and social development with concerns of sustainability. It looks at three major issues before us, rapid urbanisation, food security and local economy growth from the perspective of natural resource and climate constraints.
