Prof. Dr. Ripu Ranjan Sinha, Founder of the Council for Sustainable Peace and Development, met with Ameen Pathan during a prestigious event in Jaipur, Rajasthan, fostering key alliances in innovation, sustainable development, and youth empowerment aligned with Viksit Bharat@2047.
Event Context
The high-profile gathering in Jaipur brought together thought leaders to advance SDG-aligned initiatives, building on Prof. Sinha’s January 7 lecture at University of Rajasthan’s UGC-Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Centre on SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 9 (Innovation, Infrastructure), and SDG 8 (Decent Work). Discussions emphasized industry-academia synergies, green industrialization, and scalable models like Skill India (500M trainees) and Chhattisgarh’s livelihood colleges (1.6 lakh youth trained).
Strategic Meeting Outcomes
Ameen Pathan and Prof. Sinha explored collaborations linking Rajasthan’s innovation ecosystem with Prof. Sinha’s global mandates, including leading South Sudan’s Green Industrial Revolution 2030 under H.E. James Wani Igga and facilitating Ex-ISRO Director interactions. Key focuses included R&D investment growth from 0.7% of GDP, PLI schemes creating 60 lakh jobs, and Red-Green Movement principles fusing innovation with sustainability. This complements Prof. Sinha’s roles at Gujarat Technical University’s PhD programme and BJP leader Sri Sunil Deodhar’s New Delhi event.
Forward Momentum
The Jaipur meeting strengthens Rajasthan’s position in national development forums, targeting a $30T economy by 2047 through 112,000 startups and green infrastructure.
