1. Project given by the ICPR with a view to evolve a new developmental strategy. Earlier UN had launched Millennium Development Goals (MDGs, 2000-2015) with special focus on social development. The performance of MDGs has not been satisfactory & hence new programme 'Sustainable Development Goals' (SDGs, 2016- 2030). It may also meet the same fate as MDGs had met. Therefore, it is envisaged that Indian Culture has a great potential & we must explore this possibility i.e. through Indian Culture as an alternative.

2. It is being implemented by Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur under the supervision of its Principal Coordinator Dr. Ashok Bapna & Co-Cordinator Dr. Prerna Jain.

3. The idea is to evolve an alternative strategy for implementation of UN's new developmental programme i.e. "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
