Image and Optics of the Indian Social Sector – Current Vs. Desired
Catalyst 2030 We are NGOs, social enterprises, intermediaries, funders and other social change innovators, collaborating in this urgent moment to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We live in a unique era of human progress. Extreme poverty, malnutrition, violence, and infectious disease have plummeted, while life expectancy, literacy rates, and electricity access have soared. Yet, severe inequalities in income, health, education, and representation disadvantage billions around the world. Meanwhile, humanity’s growing ecological footprint is threatening many of the natural systems we all depend on—such as climate, oceans, land, biodiversity, and fresh water—which are nearing irreversible tipping points. These crises often intersect, creating conditions ripe for instability and conflict. We may be the last generation alive that can act to reverse these trends.
Indian School of Development Management (ISDM) ISDM got seeded as an idea in early 2016 when its founders came together with a common vision to launch a first-of-its-kind educational institution that would develop and groom the next generation of professional leaders and managers for the development sector. ISDM envisions building Development Management as a stand-alone domain and an aspirational choice for professionals in the development sector.
A stakeholder dialogue organised by ISDM and Catalyst 2030 on *Image and Optics of the Indian Social Sector – Current Vs. Desired*.
The panel will be focusing on critical questions about the need for a Social Sector in an evolved democracy, the expectations from the sector, its current image, and the changes that are essential and desirable. *This event is a part of CCW, which is the world’s largest event led by social innovators and entrepreneurs* to share knowledge and exchange ideas.
