Five thematic groups will deliberate on Education & Skill Development, Health & Nutrition, Livelihood & Entrepreneurship, Infrastructure, and Governance & Institutional Strengthening. Each group will be chaired by senior Union officials under the guidance of respective Ministers.

This initiative celebrates excellence, encourages replication of success stories, and inspires innovation at the grassroots level.
