Organiser and National Stock Exchange (NSE) are set to host a day-long conclave “Arthayam: A Conclave for Dharmic Model of Development” on September 19, 2025, in Mumbai. The event commemorates sixty years of Ekatma Manav Darshan (Integral Humanism), the timeless philosophy propounded by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Ji.
The conclave will deliberate on sustainable and inclusive development rooted in Dharma, Nature, and Culture. With Bharat scaling new heights in the global economy, the discussion on an indigenous developmental framework assumes great significance.
The event will witness the presence of eminent thinkers, policymakers, economists, and industry leaders, including:
1. Shri Sunil Ambekar, Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
2. Shri Ram Madhav, President, India Foundation

Why now?
When Pandit Deendayal Ji articulated his philosophy in 1965, the world was entrenched in the bipolarity of capitalism versus communism. His vision of Integral Humanism was adopted as the doctrine of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, presenting a holistic and indigenous alternative to both Western models. Today, with communism discredited and capitalism struggling to address recurring crises of inequality and sustainability, Ekatma Manav Darshan emerges as a framework for balanced, humane, and dharmic development.
The conclave will revisit Deendayal Ji’s thoughts in the very city, Mumbai, where he had delivered his landmark lectures in 1965.
The discussions will address critical contemporary questions, like:
What is the relevance of Ekatma Manav Darshan in the post-globalisation era?
Can the ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam provide an alternative economic and institutional model for humanity?
How should Bharat respond to emerging technological challenges?
What policy directions rooted in Integral Humanism can guide Bharat’s future development?
The National Stock Exchange, a globally recognised institution that has revolutionised India’s financial markets with transparency, innovation, and governance, provides an apt venue for this event. Its collaboration with Organiser symbolises the meeting of tradition and modernity, drawing from Bharatiya wisdom while embracing global challenges.
Since 1947, Organiser Weekly has been the Voice of the Nation, consistently guided by the ideals of Pandit Deendayal Ji. Even after 75 years of Independence, the task of decolonising minds, thoughts, and institutions remains unfinished. This conclave is a step towards envisioning Bharat as the fountainhead of ideas for global well-being by revisiting and reinterpreting the fundamentals of Ekatma Manav Darshan in contemporary times.
