Theme of the Seminar

The National Seminar on "Philosophy of Integral Humanism and Its Contemporary Relevance" commemorates the 60th anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya's seminal lectures delivered in 1965, in Ramnarain Ruia College, Mumbai, which laid the foundation of a distinct Indian approach to human development and social philosophy. Integral Humanism, as articulated by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, emphasizes the holistic development of individuals and society by integrating material and spiritual dimensions. It rejects both Western capitalist excess and communist totalitarianism, advocating instead for a decentralized, self-reliant economy rooted in Indian traditions and values. The philosophy recognizes the interconnectedness of body, mind, intellect, and soul, and stresses that true development must balance all these aspects.
